*ruefully*

Your Gran sounds like my uncle. Well, all of my family really.

I-I suppose I should introduce myself, shouldn't I? My name is Vir. I work for Londo Mollari, Ambassador and Prime Minister of Centauri Republic. Londo is acquainted with a few people from your world, but I'm afraid I don't know very much about it. I've read a few of your writings here, though, and I think, maybe, we have a few things in common.

I'm very sorry your parents are in the hospital and missed your birthday. We have a celebration that is somewhat similar on my world- it celebrates the anniversary of a Centauri male reaching adulthood. My tenth anniversary was recently, and Londo threw a huge party. It was the first Ascension Day party I've ever had. No one's ever cared about my growing older before.

So I guess, maybe, I know a little bit about how lonely it must be not to have your parents there to celebrate with you.

And I guess I should stop now before I start boring you. Sometimes I ramble. It's a bad habit of mine.

(ooc: Hi! *waves* Neville's my favorite character out of the HP-verse, and I've been meaning to engage you for awhile. Hope you don't mind. *g* And this was lovely, by the way. I'm definitely a member of the hug-and-shag Neville brigade. *g*)

Your uncle sounds very much like... well, like my uncle.

I always enjoy meeting new, er, people? Hi, Vir! Thanks for stopping into my journal. I've had a couple of birthday parties before, but my relatives are all a lot older than me, so they're never any fun. I get cake sometimes, which is nice, though.

I didn't think you were rambling at all!

(ooc: Hey! I don't mind at all. And the brigade always needs a few more members, right? Thanks very much! :D)

Before I came to Babylon 5... that's where I live now. It's a space station in the Epsilon system, and... and this is where it gets confusing. This is such a strange device. I don't really understand how it works. Physics was never my best subject. I remember I used to frustrate my tutor with how slowly I picked it up... he was a little terrifying, my tutor.

But anyway, before I came to Babylon 5, I went to many celebrations, but I was always ignored. Or worse, my cousins would tease me or try to push me into the river. Now... now things are much better... and also much worse depending on how you look at it. Better because I have friends here. I have Londo, who's my best friend and... really, he's the only real family I've ever had. Worse because I've seen things... have been forced to do things I never wanted to see or do and it's changed me in ways that are not all good.

I know from what I've read here that you are in a war against a dark mage. I've experienced war against dark forces as well, and I've seen those dark forces consume my friend and twist him into something I know he's not. I hope you never have to watch a friend succumb in your war.
