The Clash Are Most Offended
So. Um. This is interesting.
I'm trying to post this on the twenty-seventh of January, as that was a) the day of the invasion, if I recall correctly, and b) Livejournal Rabbit Hole Day, which seems really rather appropriate for my bizarre situation. I'm really not sure whether it will work, though - the Doctor may be an expert in jiggery-pokery, but getting a computer to post to a Livejournal five thousand years in the past seems a bit much. Then again, he was able to do some pretty impressive work on Rose's phone - he's reading over my shoulder right now, in fact, and seems rather offended that I could doubt him. I'm sorry, Doctor. You are, of course, brilliant.
Basically, on the twenty-seventh of January, 2006 - as you've probably already heard, unless I'm posting this before it happened, which is perfectly possible - a Malboro turned up in the middle of Putney. Which was, you know, really weird.
Quite naturally, I think, I assumed that it was a person in a remarkably good costume. I mean, a fictional monster isn't the sort of thing you expect to be sitting in the middle of a shopping centre. So I walked a little closer to get a better look - edged a little closer, actually, I'm seriously pretty terrified of Malboros, even when I don't think they're real - and, um, the next thing I knew I was hardly able to move, and I had a splitting headache, and I felt incredibly ill, and I couldn't see, and when my vision cleared I rather wished it hadn't because Pyramid Head was in front of me, and so naturally I tried to run away but - I think the Malboro must have Confused me - I somehow ended up running towards it instead, and then there's a long stretch in which I can't remember anything, and when I came to I was in the TARDIS.
Yeah. It's been a pretty confusing day. At least, I think it's only been a day, but it's a little hard to keep track of time when you're, y'know, time-travelling.
Anyway, the Doctor's explained to me why fictional monsters have been attacking London, although I couldn't quite follow the explanation - something about a dimensional rift? He said that it happened in other countries as well; it seems that Griever descended from the sky in America and destroyed the Statue of Liberty. Does anyone know if that's true?
Apparently I was the only person taken on board because I was half-dead from the Malboro attack, the TARDIS had the medical facilities I needed, and, in his own words, 'nobody else was stupid enough to go near that thing'. Hooray.
We're in the seventy-first century at the moment, on an extremely vegetation-filled planet, the name of which I'm not even going to try to pronounce. We're also being pursued by lizardmen, so I may not be able to use this computer for much longer. I just wanted to let you know where I was, and make sure that nobody was hurt by the videogame-monster attacks. I hope you're all okay.

And actually it was Shiva and the Museum of Modern Art, but that doesn't sound nearly as spectacular as Griever and the Statue of Liberty, which I suspect is why the story has been exaggerated.

Oh, I heard that it was Shiva and the MoMA, too. Wait until you hear what's going on in the UKEraine...badly-characterised, rapantly-gay fandom men marching the streets, oh my.

They hadn't really taken the reports seriously until Ultimecia attacked the White House, screaming, "Kurse all BusheS! They swarm like lokusts through time, kausing havok and war and pollution!"
