Day 1.
It’s new. Too new. I might write in this once in a while, who knows. Let’s hope so. Well... Where to start? My name is Alastair Victor Derora, and if you’ve found this and are reading it than either I am dead or some crazy mixup occurred and I’m pretty angry at you. Sometimes I need to write down some stuff to kind of... Ground my thoughts. If I leave them up in the air, they can just float away and we don’t want that now do we? Anyway, onward.
Nobody. Predictable. I can’t get close to other people as much as others can. It hasn’t really gotten to me yet, but it will. Just give it time. Maybe I’m not affected by it because I don’t really know what loving someone really is... Ha. Bet I got you with that overplayed cliche, now, didn’t I? Still, it holds more truth than it should. That's about enough self pity for one journal, now, isn't it?
Aubrey Connor - As much as I'd love to continue to fight it, in the end I'm going to consider her a friend. There's just something about her that makes me know she's genuine, and we're a lot more alike than I probably know.
Tommy "Red" Smith - He saved me from some guy trying to rob me. We talked and both went to Genosha. We get along well, though he's a million times more optimistic than I could ever be.
Kurt Wagner - He seems nice. Surprisingly genuine for someone in the same genus as me, though that’s disputed. The genus thing. Maybe the genuine thing. Hopefully not. He had me join the circus. I guess I’m thankful for that. Bordering on friendship. Kind of. I shouldn’t be so trusting.
Betsy Braddock - She seems nice as well. Should probably talk to her sometime. She seems to be Mr. Lensherr’s appointment maker, which means when I want to flip I’m going to want to keep it away from her as well.
Erik Lensherr - This guy’s a great speaker. I have to watch out for him. He’s not going to control me. He might have others under his spell, but I’ll be damned if I fall for his word tricks. I have my doubts, but he does seem like he means well.
Klarion - Gave me compliments and money after I played a song. He... Appears strange on the exterior, but I haven't talked to him enough to know if his exterior was the same as the interior.
None. Yet. That’s always nice, though. Not having any enemies and all that. Helps me sleep at night.
People Who are the Absolute Bane of One Alastair Victor Derora's Existence and According to him Should Probably Never Ever Encounter Alastair Ever Again Unless Those Few People Want to
Mortal Enemies
It took years to attain and a second to tear it all down
Burn everything off, 'cause the feeling won't last
Memories are all that remain of the way that it was
None, which is a good thing. I’m not really that keen on getting people after my life. That’s never fun, really.
None I’ve encountered yet. But if I ever find someone in my family, then I’m running. I don’t care about how much they cared for me, they had to or I’d be a serial killer or something.
Timeline
Save Them, Oh Let Me Save You
I finally arrive at my new home. And what happens the second I step off the boat? My life savings gets stolen. Luckily, I meet Kurt, and he gets it back from wedelivercriminals.com or something. So we talk, I join the circus, normal stuff. Betsy shows up, and then the next thing I know I’m talking to Erik Lensherr. That guy makes me... anxious. I joined his little Brotherhood, but I won’t have any problem betraying them in a heartbeat. It's great, I'm already thinking of betrayal when I've just joined. I don't think that's the best thing to be doing, but that's just who I am.
Life’s Too Short To Be A Fool
I go back home for a bit. I grab my keyboard, a photo album, a camera, and head on over to a cafe. I was kind of running on autopilot, I don’t know what I was thinking. Must’ve looked weird seeing some kid walk in, sit down, order a coffee, then take it just to sit down somewhere else. That doesn’t matter.
Birth of a Curse
I play some music (what a surprise), then up wanders Aubrey. She has no money, but pays me in compliments, which is fine with me. We ended up doing a little duet together. It was pretty fun. We talk a bit and... I realize some things. Maybe they're true. I hope not. But... You never know. I also finally realize why I'm so damn on edge in Genosha while everyone around me is happy.
Slow Evening/A Goblin's Vacation
I get mugged, Red saves me. We talk for a bit, and eventually decide we're going to Genosha. I learn a bit more about Magneto, and my distrust goes up tenfold. But I also learn more about the X-Men, and I wouldn't trust them either. So, I'm left with a dilemma...
We eventually arrive, and Red's up to his old antics again. Strangely, I don't mind as much as I should. Maybe it's hard getting mad at a guy who's always laughing. That's probably it.
A Different Kind
I meet an... Odd teen, but he gives me compliments and money for my music. Great. He also has a cat with him, or perhaps it's just a living scarf. Who knows?
(Looking for! (in order from most wanted to least wanted):
LOVE! (Love could make a huge part in Alastair's current ongoing plot, and it's always nice to love xP)
Mortal Enemies (Just having that one guy who is always a thorn in Alastair's side would be wonderful.)
Enemies
Friends (I have enough for now >>)
Family (If you really want to be a part of this messed up family, I guess you could always drop me a PM and we can work something out, but I’m not necessarily looking for any family.))
(So you want to have Alastair involved in a plot or a thread of yours? Really?
Send me a PM and I'll probably agree. Same thing goes for threads. Plots I'll probably be a bit more picky over, but I'll likely accept.)
(And yeah, I post a ton. I don't get mad if people post a short response, I don't give a whole lot to respond to in a lot of my posts, really. And I barely check the cbox so just send me a PM or talk to me on MSN if you have it and feel like talking about stuff. I swear I don't bite. At all. >>)

Love
First you want to ride off into the Sun
Then you want to shoot straight to the Moon
Make a plan to love me sometime soon

Friendship
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones

Acquaintances
Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes

Enemies
How much deception can you take?
How many lies will you create?
How much longer until you break?

Family
In the final curtain call,
You left me here with the coldest of feelings,
Weight, kind, depression,
