Twice More With Feeling  
One drabble I wrote for the episodic prompt over at [info]still_grrr. Both PG.

Disclamair: All characters, images, and refrences belong to Joss, FOX & Mutant Enemy. All bow before Joss.





Title: Illyria's Lament
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 42 Once More With Feeling
Characters/Pairing: Illyria
Disclamaire: I don't own any of these characters. All hail joss.
A/N: Shifting Dawn's very brief "singing" scene over to LA, this takes place in the beginning of Power Play(5x21)

Sterile white walls surround me, people brushing past with no regard for my presence. How could I come to such a place, this fate worse than any other imaginable. And it... bothers me. The actions of these lowly creatures. Unthinkable, intolerable, yet I can do nothing but tolerate it. My powers depleted, everything I was stripped, caged by my limitations. Still, they do not acknowledge me. He does not acknowledge me. A twinge of something that ought not be there, my treacherous lips parting, vocally expressing what I seek to keep hidden.

"Does anybody even notice? Does anybody even care?"

*Claps*
you capture every character perfectly!
my soo most fav line is " Since she blew up the High School, (which mom didn't even ground her for!)" it's such a Dawn thing to say and you did it so amazingly!

Awww thanks! First time I've tried writing Dawn. Illyria is, I think, the easiest character ever, because her language has a very rigid, set form. Of course, this does cause just about every Illyria fic to sound about the same. heh

Your Illyria is intense.
And she's so difficult to capture. I've only brushed past her in one story and it's some of the hardest stuff I had to do to make her 'believable,' and I didn't even deal with her personality directly, on the effects of such a powerful spirit around. But you handled it marvelously. Could this be evidence of your own godlike-ness? Possibly, possibly :)

Re: Your Illyria is intense.
lol! I am Maharet, all bow down before me! (but seriously, no blowing my cover ;p)

Funny how I think she's the easiest character to write. hehe. I'm kinda bad with dialogue and stuff, but her speach pattern is very rigorously set, and she views the world in a very speciffic, contemptuous/objective way.

These are my second and third fic attempts, and the second featuring Illyria. (first part of the first one is here)
