Song for Madeline, part II - Logan Darklighter - 09-26-2003
As Chapter XIII proceeds towards completion, and Madeline's story continues to hint at revealing itself, I felt it appropriate to say how I feel her arc should end...
Did you know that I am a pioneer
I'm out on a secret mission
I travel the galaxy and far beyond
Can't you see that I am I pioneer
Unlocking the greatest mysteries
My key is a fearless heart
So pure and strong
People laugh when you are a pioneer
Not walking the straight and narrow
They tell you the things are
They swear you're wrong
You can't be a hero
Hiding underneath your bed
Got to live the life
You create inside your head
So I opened the window
Caught the wind one night
Now I sail with the birds in their flight
If you're tired of everything
Come hitch a ride with me
You'll cry out in joy
When you realize you're free
It's a trip like no other
For your heart and mind
Leaving all but the future for behind
Some will say you're safer here
Never mind them - be a pioneer!
Can't you see that you are a pioneer
Not one of the endless talkers
Who tell you the same old rules you're heard before
I can tell that you are a pioneer
You want to be facing danger
Not happy to hide your big dreams anymore
You are a pioneer, the same as me
[ Guitar Solo ]
You can't be a hero
Hiding underneath your bed
So we'll live the life
We've created in our heads
We'll wake up every morning
In a whole new place
On a road reaching out into space
Some will say we're safer here
Never mind them - we are pioneers
Hand in hand we'll journey as pioneers
Unlocking the greatest mysteries
Don't listen to anyone
Who says we're wrong
They can't stop you when you're a pioneer
For truth is your greatest weapon
Out there in the cosmos
Where we both belong
A place for pioneers
Like you and me
Through the ages we well be pioneers
We'll go out on secret missions
We'll travel the galaxy and far beyond
It's our destiny to be pioneers
We'll always be moving forward
Our courage is what we will be counting on
We will be pioneers forevermore

Hm. I presume you mean Madigan? And I think you're looking for too much in her "redemption". She's not going to turn into Princess Serenity, after all...

How about "L5 Crystal Power Makeup", or "O'Niell Crystal etc"?
No?
Could you have "Internet Crystal Power Makeup", seeing as some people say that is a world in its own right? [grin]
I still think that "Loony Crystal Power Makeup" that draws on Doug's powers to power it all has sorts of possibilities! [grin]

Er, Madigan, yes, whatever was I thinking? - Logan Darklighter - 10-03-2003
Actually, right now, I'm imagining her partnered with another purple-haired person of wealth, arrogance, and undeniable attractiveness.
Ayeka of Jurai.
Hence the song.
(Maybe a little silly, that. But I think Katie's got places to go and worlds to conquer and... stop that! Stop it!)
Sorry, my id is acting up again.

Katherine Madigan, Princess of Jyurai? - Logan Darklighter - 10-04-2003
Hmmmm. Actually, there is a fairly cool 'fic idea in there... gonna have to give it some thought. Not necessarily Katie -as- Ayeka, but as a relative... hmm...
Speaking of Magical Girls... - Freddy Isnot - 10-05-2003
Does Lisa end up being some sort of magical girl? Not exactly a sailor senshi, but I think you're hinting at Lisa having at least some sort of metagift. The way she transformed into Sailor Loon so naturally when Doug gave her access to the node. How she was able to hear conversations in the battle between Doug and the Knight Sabers. Did Doug accidently create the first mage that this universe has ever had?
Or am I going crazy and seeing things that aren't there?
I suppose there are other ways you can explain these. Maybe it was Hexe that gave Lisa the power listen in. I thought that also seemed a strong possibility. As for Lisa's seemingly natural talent, it could simply reflect a very strong desire and will on Lisa's part.
What I really want to know is: after Doug leaves, will Sailor Loon live on? To fight for Love and Justice?

Quote:I'll tell you this -- Hexe did in fact allow Lisa to listen in. She knew Lisa was on the roof, and knew from Doug's subconscious mind her role in Doug's life at that point. Hexe used her control over the air to "channel" the sound of their conversation up to Lisa -- and cut it off right before Doug used her True Name, which is something she wouldn't want Lisa to have.
Maybe it was Hexe that gave Lisa the power listen in. I thought that also seemed a strong possibility.
