[a new girl here has just spent a little bit talking to the Vine in attempts to figure out how it works exactly, so it catches some of Aerith's words before she actually begins to address the network]

So you're the one I have to talk to, hm? [a pause] Though I've heard that you carry the voices of others as well... so then, can you connect me, Miss Vine? [another little pause as she clears her throat]

Hello? Heeelllo?

The garden here is beautiful and I don't mind staying for a little bit, but I do need to know the way back... to the Lifestream -- or, my Planet at the very least -- for later. I think the others should be okay without me for now, but I'd like to be there just in case.

Thank you, Vine and friends!

Th...

[There's a long, long pause.]

Lifestream?

[There's nothing but the sound of unsteady breathing for a moment. Finally, hesitantly:]

That voice...I know that voice.

Aerith?

...A-Aerith?

Is that really you? How...

Hmm... that means that this can't be this Planet's version of the Lifestream, doesn't it?

Friends?

[amusement]

You might be a little premature.

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

Weeell... I might not be your friend, but the Vine knows many of you, doesn't she?

[aunomdedieu.livejournal.com]

The Lifestream?

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

The Lifestream is the Planet's life force, in the simplest terms. But it looks like this place works a little differently, hm?

[aunomdedieu.livejournal.com]

[ There's a lengthy pause as Caprica thinks that over. ]

I guess it does.

There's... nothing like that where I come from, either.

[voice]

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, no one knows how to get back to where they came from.

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

Then I guess we'll just have to keep looking, hm?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

While putting up with whatever happens here.

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

That is...a much more pleasant first announcement than most make.

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

This is a really weird situation, but it feels... very gentle here. I don't know, I guess I just didn't want to make a fuss in such a nice garden.

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

Lifestream.

...I don't think there's anything like that here, or in my home, for that matter. Please elaborate.

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

No one knows what it is...?

It's the spirit energy of the Planet. It's the cycle of life and returning to the Planet when one's time is up, so that new life can be created.

[isntthatsad.livejournal.com]

Ah... I feel really bad having to tell you this but I'm afraid we're all stuck here.

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

Stuck? ...really? No one's ever left?

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Our dear captor does not allow any of us to voluntarily leave.

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

So have people left... involuntarily? [oh no, she is starting to get a little concerned]

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Nice try, but no chance for you.

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

I guess I'll just have to try harder once I get to the bottom of all of this.
