A villain with villainous standards.
This is what happens when you're feeling irrationally emo and you spent the post-SAT hour reading Fight Club. And you have an RP on your mind that asked for revisions. I very much like this, but I'd feel sad to split it in two...
Dr. Horrible is a villain. His dreams have come true, yet, he seems kinda sad. His walk is too rough, his work is too rash. Everything about him seems on edge since he got into the Evil League of Evil. If you saw him walking down the hall and said 'hi', he'd scowl at you or ask, irritatingly, “what do you want?” He's on the fast-track to super villainy, yet he's never been more miserable.
This is because Billy is not happy. See, it turns out, Dr. Horrible isn't sad; Billy is. Billy lost the girl of his dreams. His awkward glances, his caring words and his 'save-the-world-from-itself' ideals were brutally murdered the day his dream girl was too. Billy is empty, trying to grasp at what little the world has to offer him. He wants to smile when spoken to, he wants to gaze wistfully into nothing as he thinks about happier days. Billy wants to fill that emptiness with something. Maybe not anger, maybe not sorrow, but something. Something Penny (that was his dream girl, by the way) would be proud of. Billy wants to go on with his life, but it's too late. This because Billy went by the name 'Dr. Horrible' before. Back when he had a blog, only his friends called him Billy.
Billy is not a villain, but he does not want to be a hero either. It was a Hero (the so-called 'Captain Hammer') who stole his girl away. It was a hero who beat him unconscious when all he was trying to do was steal some hazardous material to power his Stun Ray.
To Billy, Heroes are bad and Villains are cool. Billy doesn't like killing, but his hesitation is what gave Captain Hammer the chance to steal his Death Ray. The explosion caused by the Death Ray killed Penny. She died because Billy hesitated, so he decided he won't hesitate anymore.
This is why no one calls him 'Billy' anymore. Billy is away right now, but Dr. Horrible is in. You can leave a message if you want.
I've been writing a lot, and more often. :D
