I really like this!

Thanks! I appreciate it. :D

Ooh, nice. It really captures the not-quite-reality of their lives.

quirkysmuse February 17 2009, 12:52:53 UTC

Thank you! I'm glad you picked up on that.

Whoa. :O

I love how you write the dialogue of Echo and Sierra, and Sierra's thoughts about Echo. It's very cute and sweet, but at the same time, kind of creepy, in that the feelings Sierra has towards Echo is exactly what the 'treatment' is supposed to take away.

Well done!

Thanks!

I'm glad you picked up on the creepiness, that's totally what I wanted to evoke. I appreciate the comments.

Oh nice. I like the slight detachedness(?) of the whole thing.

quirkysmuse February 17 2009, 16:12:02 UTC

Thanks! I wanted to emulate the same demeanor as these Actives go through when they're in between the roles they play. It would seem to me that they would be very detached from normal way of thinking.

Thanks again for reading, chica! :D

Yeah. I figured as much. TBH, I wouldn't even have watched Dollhouse, if I hadn't seen your post. lol.

So good. Sierra stumbling towards some sort of enlightenment and being terrified of it was great. The imagery of being "soaked up in white" was great. It brought out the idea of the warm, empty, peace of the Dolls existence so well.

Also, the conversation between Echo and Sierra was hilarious. I really hope we get to see the Dolls talking to each other soon, cause it's gonna be comedy gold.

“Thank you. You look very clean,” Echo says.

Brilliant!

Thank you so much!
I'll admit the dialogue was starting to feel a bit complicated to envision, but yeah, I agree with you, once they start interacting, it should be entertaining. :D
