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?

[It's been a long month. Sisuca went missing, Xion's friend was attacked, and really, does their secrecy even matter? It's not like anyone can do anything with that information. All this frustration nearly causes Jale to respond, "A magic book," before his common sense finally takes over.]

"Lifestream"?

Considering your question implies that this "Lifestream" is not present in other worlds, I doubt most people here will understand what it means. [Including her.]

[inabook]

What do you mean by 'holding it together'?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Love. And good will. Also happy thoughts. And according to some scientists, sunshine and cheer.

Is there any reason you're asking about this subject?

[thestormishere]

Magic?

[ Like, duh, dude. ]

[justicereigns]

Gravity?

What the heck is a "Lifestream?"

[wise_maiden]

I suppose in my case, that would be mana.

[wingenvy]

I didn't know you were interested in that kind of stuff.

Well... I guess those big Plants are keepin it working.

[flicker-flash.livejournal.com]

Sticky tape.

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

The World Tree and the Mana it produces.

[psychebubble]

Its own mass.

[a little absently]...there's something that might be called by that name in my world. But I doubt they're the same thing.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

...Gravity. Rotation. The fact that it's pretty solid. Physics. And yeah, all that, according to scientific theory, leads to life and keeping life when all the right elements are mixed together in just the right percentage.

If you're looking for a more mystical explanation, if you find the right people, they'll tell you it's the will of God...or at least one of them, depending on which religion they follow.

Counter Question!

What's the Lifestream?

[pathtoseele.livejournal.com]

The answer I probably should give is "God."

[ me, half of the time. no. what she really wants to say is something about the place she went to when she died. but it's not like she wants to talk about that.

so, avoidance: ] Sounds like you've already heard the gravity chorus.

[Guess who is stalking this post like a curious cat, making soft hmms and thoughtful faces as she takes in answers? Just guess.]

[Though some of the conversations give her pause. And then, after a few similar ones:]

Oh, goodness, gravity can't do everything, it's not even--

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Light and Darkness, probably.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

All the worlds I've seen are held together by their hearts.

["Lifestream"? There's only one thing keeping planets alive, as far as Lambda knows.]

... Arles.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

I guess the Crystals.

Uh... what's a Lifestream?

[Voice]

[meteorical]

Probably the balance between light and darkness among other things. If one of them overpowers the other, then the world starts to fall apart.

[ledbythewind]

I'm not sure if you'd call it "holding it together," but my planet could not survive without the arles that originate from its core.
