Alastor's Diary - XX/XX/XXXX

[superstylishsquid]

I don't even know what to say about today. Sprocket forced me to pretend I was trying to marry Silvia. She said there were several reasons I was the best fit for the job, but I don't know what she's talking about, aside from Silvia having some amount of trust for me. Is she trying to ruin Silvia and Joe's relationship with this? I can already tell her it's not going to work. I said it was beneath me and I wanted out, but of course she didn't listen. She'd already gone ahead and arranged everything, including publicity, so I couldn't back out anyway.

Surprisingly, it turned out to be not so bad. I looked incredible in the tuxedo, if I do say so myself, and my company on the way to the church wasn't half bad, either. I expected shouting or struggling or even silent fuming, but she somehow managed to make the best of it. She even said that she could do worse here, although I'm not sure how flattering that is when she's met the likes of Hulk Davidson and Charles III. Still, I can't help but wonder if she actually likes me on some level.

Of course, she didn't actually go through with it. Her boyfriend was a no show, but she ran off on her own. Why was I disappointed? For some reason, I didn't even think to grab her. But then, nobody else thought to move, either. I guess she just surprised all of us by actually making a break for it with everyone right there.

Sprocket sent me to go find her, but honestly, I wanted to punch her in the face first. I don't understand why she hates Silvia so much. Does she just resent that the girl is so unbreakable? I don't get the mentality that prisoners should be abused, either. We have her and Viewtiful Joe wants her back. What does it matter if she wants to escape just to be with him for whatever reason or for a whole laundry list of reasons? You'd think it would be better if the prisoner wasn't desperate to escape at any cost. Come to think of it, I still don't know why we have her in the first place. Not that I'm complaining, but Almighty Leader hasn't said a word about this master plan of his. I'm getting sick of being left out of the loop.

Anyway, I got Silvia back easily enough. She and Joe had one last heart to heart before I brought her back, though I don't know why I let them. It made me want to gag just listening to it. And I still don't know what she sees in him. Here I thought I understood humans. We lost Black Jadowland thanks to him, but that's not really of concern to me. I think he's almost ready for our rematch...
