A question. [Cloud says it like it's punctuated with "for you strange people."]


If you don't have a Lifestream keeping your Planet alive, what's holding it together?

Yeah, heard that. It's not gravity.

[ mildly: ] I'm not really sure what to call the other thing. The not-gravity element.

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Don't have a name for it?

[Hmm.] Can you describe it to me?

[voice]

[herotypical]

It was kinda described like a root-system, once. Things on one side of the world being connected to things on the other. But I think...[ what? she doesn't really want to talk about how it felt to be in what she thought was heaven. ] Maybe it's more than that.

How come? Did something happen?

The lifestream is like your afterlife, right? I remember -- [ aerith told her about it. ] I've talked about it, before.

[is this an abrupt subject change or just an abrupt segue]

Uh- yeah, basically. It's more than just that, but it's where people go when they pass away.

There are things like it at home but...but it's hard to know whether to believe in them or not.

[voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Why? No evidence to back it up?

[voice]

[herotypical]

Rarely anything concrete -- which means lots of theories get thrown around.

[voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

That's annoying.

I guess there's no way to prove anything one way or another then, huh?

[voice]

[herotypical]

Well -- the only kind of proof you can get is the kind of proof you usually don't come back from.

[voice]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

That sucks.

[Captain Understatement over here.]

Oh well. Never mind then, I guess it's not the same at all.

[voice]

Aerith did try to explain the Lifestream to me. I...yeah, it didn't seem exactly similar.
