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?

Gravity?

What the heck is a "Lifestream?"

[voice]

[herobydefault]

I don't mean gravity. [Holy. All these people who don't even know where souls come from.]

It's the Stream that lives inside the Planet and makes sure the world doesn't turn into a lifeless shell and break apart and drift off like space rocks.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

What, like molten lava?

[voice]

[herobydefault]

No, not like lava.

It's energy. Sometimes it's a liquid, sometimes it's more like a gas and sometimes it's a solid but it's where you go when you die.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Never heard of it. Which leads me to suspect it's probably just your world's religion or something.

[voice]

[herobydefault]

It's not religion, it's real. Scientific fact.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Verified by what?

[voice]

[herobydefault]

Uh, science? Documents and tests and math and whatever.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Right.

How does it hold your world together again?

[voice]

[herobydefault]

[Sssiiiggh.]

You know how a body decays after it dies?

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Yes.

[voice]

[herobydefault]

That's what a Planet does if it doesn't have a Lifestream. It decays and falls apart.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Maybe all planets have one, the denizens just aren't aware of them yet?

[voice]

[herobydefault]

I guess so.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Is it visible?

[voice]

[herobydefault]

Yup.

Neon green. Usually. I think. Or maybe that's just the processed- no, because it was green in the Crater too.
