This system is a little old. Guess it's all you got without towers for a PHS system.

Name's Strife. Is there anyone else from Gaia here? I was told that it might be possible... but I am not holding my breath. They also explained this SeeD place as being a kind of school for fighters. Is it true they are not associated with any country or political power? Sounds too good to be true...

As for this... Whatever this is. What exactly are they expecting in return? Information?

I really don't care about the money.

So that's it. What makes a SeeD any different from any other armed force besides the schooling?

S.

[fierybluebird]

Mercenaries, not fighting for justice.

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

Heh. I don't think there is that much difference.

S.

[fierybluebird]

Oh, you'd be amazed at how working for a fanatical ideal makes a man so much more difficult to reason with.

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

Been there. Done it. Didn't get a tee shirt but got a couple cool scars to remember it by.

I guess it all comes down to how far over the line you're going to step. Fighting gets messy when personal issues are involved.

S.

[fierybluebird]

Ohhh scars, I'm jealous.

I don't know that I've had many impersonal fights.

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

Same here.

S.

[fierybluebird]

Seems as though our histories are similar so far.

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

I always think that nothing is unusual and that everything has happened before. It would explain a lot of how the past can be seen in the future.

S.

[fierybluebird]

Aye. Although it's cheating for me. I lived in the New World section of the Grand Line. Even for my world, it's well-known as being excessively chaotic.

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

Where I come from, everything goes into the Lifestream and then everything is born from it, so I think that even time is sent there to be reborn too.

S.

[fierybluebird]

Lifestream?

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

The circle of life surrounding the Planet.

S.

[fierybluebird]

Surrounding the planet? Like an asteroid belt?

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

No. It's a field of energy. Magic and dreams comes from it as well as everything going back to it.

It's hard to explain unless you've seen it.

S.

[fierybluebird]

I'll bet... though so far yours sounds like the only world with that, yeah.

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

Huh. I thought all planets need something to support life.

S.

[fierybluebird]

So far most just seem to have oxygen and water with regards to that. Carbon-based lifeforms. I'd be interested in meeting one who wasn't however.

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

Huh. I suppose it might be interesting to meet a non-carbon lifeform... That's a scientific term, isn't it?

S.

[fierybluebird]

Yes.

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

...I've never paid science that much attention.

S.

[fierybluebird]

What does the Lifestream count as?

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

It all depends on what people believe.

The Lifestream is the home to souls to some, and to others it is beginning for all magic. I know at least one race saw it as a part of the Goddess of the Planet.

S.

[fierybluebird]

That's different. I have to admit, I've never heard of such a thing before.

[atouchofstrife.livejournal.com]

I guess it does make home unique.

Sorry if I seem a little harsh.
