[What comes on the screen can only be found in one place on Gaia, the deepest point inside the Iifa Tree on the broad platform now used to view the Farplane. But the focus isn't on the flower field hovering in the distance on the far end of the platform, but rather the sheer expanse and depth beneath the tree proper, and what looks like a coursing

The Lifestream is from my world.

[This was certainly news.]

What happened, exactly? [Maybe the myrrh and the Lifestream were the same thing in different worlds.]

[video]

[tidesnpcs]

I'm not sure.

Looks like the myrrh emptied into that Lifestream thing. I still say it looks like myrrh.

It's not myrrh, I told you! It looks like the chalice thought that green stuff was a Crystal.

[video]

[shurikenfemale]

[... what? Could it be that the Lifestream... was poisoned, somehow?]

You said there's no myrrh on this world, right?

[video]

[tidesnpcs]

Well sure there is, in the myrrh trees. That's where we got our chalice filled.

I'm telling you, Hana Kohl, that lifewhatever down there looks like myrrh!

It can't be myrrh, you moron!

If it's not myrrh, then why did the chalice react to it like it's a Crystal?

[Refia's staring, slightly bewildered.]

...What is that?

[Video]

[tidesnpcs]

[Hana Kohl isn't entirely sure what the girl's referencing and there's a lot present and going on. Most of which has her even more confused than she was to start with.]

What's what?

Hey! How you doing?

[Chalice forgotten, Dah Vis pops up behind his partner to see who the speaker is and if she's cute. Clearly he has a death wish.]

[Video]

[smallmage]

[Well the sudden appearing Selkie gets a blink.] Umm... I'm fine, how are you?

What's that chalice doing?

[Video]

[tidesnpcs]

- She's cute! [Hana Kohl whips around, eyes blazing, and slugs Dah Vis in the face.] OW!

- I really don't know. It only does that around a crystal.

[video]

[gaia_theory]

That was myrrh in the Chalice, correct?

[video]

[tidesnpcs]

That's right.

Well it was. Still not sure why it did that.

[video]

[gaia_theory]

Would you mind explaining to me a little bit more about the myrrh? The two of you sound like you know a bit more.

[video]

[tidesnpcs]

-We do! We were the Caravan for Leuda.

-Without us, everyone would have died.

-Shush, I'm explaining. Myrrh comes from myrrh trees. We used it to purify our Crystals.

-Right, because they kept the Miasma at bay, but would fade over time.

-The Tipa Caravan said that myrrh is made of liquid memories. Dunno how true that is though. I guess it makes sense if the Great Crystal held the memories of the world.

[video]

[championofwutai]

What? It went into the Lifestream?

[video]

[tidesnpcs]

-It looks that way.

-Hey there! You know something about that lifething down there?

-Lifestream.

-Yeah fine. Let her answer.

[video]

[championofwutai]

Yeah. The Lifestream's from my world. It's like... the spirit of the Planet. When we're born, a little piece of the Lifestream resides in us, and when we die, it goes back.

[video]

[tidesnpcs]

-Huh. Sounds like our Great Crystal, before it was destroyed.

-Our memories go back to the Crystal, you see.

[tosavecocoon]

...So it worked? [ She is watching all of this so hard. ]

[video]

[tidesnpcs]

- I guess so. Didn't expect it to happen.

- Not sure what worked either.

[video]

[tosavecocoon]

[ Thinking, thinking. ]

But... the myrrh... it's not the same as that other stuff, is it? But... it looks the same and acts the same. Maybe it is the same?

[video]

[timenpcs]

...maybe.

[It's a grudging concession. Hana Kohl doesn't want to admit he might be right.]
