Like this one," She moved to a plant on her right, "Is a rare type of huckleberry that is normaly found in East Asia. And I know that some of this is against the law, but who are they to prevent me from eating the food I grew up with."
She turned back to the plant. Remembering Miiro's question, she spoke, "Do you think you could pick some Huhnon on the end? It's the only seed I had on me from my island."
On closer inspection, the fruit would look similar to a regular green apple, but grew on a bush type plant instead of the tree.
Walking over to where Claudia was she replied, silently proud of her knowledge, "Oh I know many plants, I grow many, many plants, and I know a large amount of species quite well, but I must say, many plants don't have seeds, they have pollen...And usually seeds and especially pollen is hard to use to grow many things, usually cuttings work a whole lot better, and if you could sneak seeds in, you really should try and sneak some cuttings in too, otherwise your plant variety is going to be quite restricted." at the breaking the law part she giggled, "I'm suprised you even worry about the law, considering you're a thief." Nezumiiro gave a bit of a giggle again, she was highly amused by that, and it was hard not to laugh, but she wasn't entirely sure how Claudia would take it, so she didn't want to make Claudia angry or upset by her laughing.
(I actually went to check to see if it was a real sort of fruit with google, closest thing to that word I could find was a chinese word 'hunan' which in english means 'south of the lake'...XD)
"This?"she said, pointing to one of the green apple fruits Claudia had called 'Huhnon' she wanted to double check it was the right sort before even touching them, as even a light touch left oils, which would then cause bruises to be more likely on a piece of fruit or could even cause bruises eventually, she didn't want to spoil something.
(It sounds like a minituare/dwarf apple tree or a NZ apple tree.:3)

It's quite similar, in red dawn they were there when the attack began and as for the football, the mascot thing is it. They have a football player in the group, but they don't talk about it. The remake has a football scene. That's really it. Mostly it's about the kids fighting for their freedom, "Because Freedom ain't free." (Quote courtesy my ex-airforce grandpa) Definitely not copied though, I looked, Red Dawn was seriously made in response to the cold war and as I've never heard of your book I doubt the makers of Red Dawn had (I read all kinds of unpopular and international books, I was surprised not to have heard of it)))
((He's quite the arrogant person, he was originally far worse (Worse yet he had good reason to be arrogant)))
Damien
He sighed, "It doesn't work like that, try as you might that was a totally separate personality, you can't really control other people."
The albino tightened his hold on her, relieved with his success. Damien closed his eyes, absorbing the moment, "Good."
Savanah
She sighed, "I hate to break up such a sweet little love scene, but you might want to go and find that cure so that you and my little brother can have your heart-warming-goopy-little-love-story-moments after the end of the month."
Charlie and Ray
They were to confused by the personality turn around to react.
((Ah true, never mind my doomsday prediction))
((Poor boy, He doesn't get a break, whenever his life starts to look up something totally awful happens))
Mark
He shook his head, "I'm just a bit jumpy, it's nothing. You weren't here for what caused the holes in the walls or for
the crazy chick. Let's just say a few of the crazier members of nightmare woke up on the wrong side of the bed."
The dark haired boy coughed, coming up with a bit of blood, but wiping it on his pant leg immediately, "Well, there's been an outbreak of a specific disease, by the way I'm not contagious, and one of the people who happened to catch it was the nightmare second in command. Well, he showed up with his girlfriend and then passed out, eventually they got him into that room. The new guy in dream claims to know a cure and Clairna was going to help us get it, but she was provoked. She went nuts and it's been chaos in that room ever since." ,he coughed again, once again wiping away the blood, "I am personally quite amazed I haven't gone off to cower somewhere. I'm feeling pretty confident actually, but that may be the disease talking."
(I'm not talking about when the movie came out, gosh...XD I'm talking about when the first book of that series was published.

)
(I doubted it would have anything to do with those books at all, I just sort of feel like they copied the books. I mean they're about completely different things, the book series is about an Australian thing (Pretty sure the time with Pearl Harbour or something like that) and those movies you're talking about are about a completely different war.)
(Wow seriously? You haven't heard of that series?! It's a very famous and popular series, international best sellers and stuff, can't believe you haven't heard of it, almost everyone over the age of ten in aus has heard of that series (if they haven't they should), it's a very famous book series, by a very famous author (it's like 'The Hobbit' series or a David Eddings series or like Harry Potter, something that everyone should know if they read books....Or like Redwall or something like that, if you read books, that series is a must read, it's like you saying you haven't read any of the Narnia books by C.S Lewis!

((Link->
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrow,_When_the_War_Began I don't know how accurate the year is, but it talks about the book series in a bit of detail at least))
(((I thought it was first published a bit before that, but I'd have to go check)))
(
Somewhere out there Ellie and her friends are hiding. They're shocked, they're frightened, they're alone. Their world has changed, with the speed of a slamming door. They've got no weapons - except courage. They've got no help - except themselves. They've got nothing - except friendship. How strong can you be, when the world is full of people trying to kill you? Tomorrow, When the War Began is the first of an enormously popular series that has been translated and published all over the world. It is the book that started the series that became the legend...

(Oh and link to something where you can read the book on the internet.

Though I wish they had the original cover there....

(Please read this series wildfire(either from that link or borrowing it from a library or buy it, just read it somehow), I'm so very shocked you haven't done so already, you should read it now!)
Eyes widening briefly she sighed, "Let me guess...Clairna?" she said to the first part, she raised an eyebrow, well would've if a tiger can raise an eyebrow, at him wiping a bit of blood off his hand, she decided to not bring it up though, for Yu's sake.
"At this point, I'd either have it already or not." she told him, "And besides, do you really think I'd still be here in this hospital if I cared about catching whatever you and what seems to be quite a few others have?" Kahen was very lightly amused that he even said that, if she cared about getting sick, she'd be miles away from here by now.
At the next part she said, "Oh s***..." as if Damien was sick then that is the appropriate reaction to the news,whether in Nightmare or Dream, if you knew anything you'd have that reaction.
Looking at Mark she said incredulously, "Provoked by whom?! Must've been a real friggin' idiot, with a toilet for a brain, didn't they realise that if Damien was ill, and Clairna couldn't fix him, how mentally unstable the girl would get?!" though deep down she was pleased that her guess just before had been right, she didn't like getting things wrong.
Kahen ignored the part about a new dream, she didn't know who that was, so she just ignored that part.
"No kidding...I can imagine that it'd get chaotic, I'd be
extremely suprised if it hadn't gone chaotic." ignoring the secound bit of blood being wiped off as well, she continued, "Well I suppose you're brave then or maybe whatever disease you've got, like you suggested, is making you brave. Though maybe you were just logically thinking it through, as in that sort of state, Clairna's range would be miles to say the least, depending on how many people are around, simply put, running would be pointless, and the closer you are to her, the quicker you'd die, so in a way, you were just taking to logical action of hoping for a quicker death, rather than running, and getting a much slower and painful death for your effort." well that's what she really said, but what she actually said was the same thing, except that death or die was changed to dance, and instead of the word painful she said annoying, though Kahen was sure that Mark would be able to easily get what she meant by that last part, the teen girl really didn't want to make Yu upset, but she also didn't want to leave the girl completely in the dark, so for the most part, her words were uncut, only that last part which mentioned death, which she figured right now would be a more scary word than normal for Yu, had been 'edited'.
(I think Kahen is too soft for her own good, and way too worried about other people's mental states)
(Yeah, I know...Must run in the family, Shadow and Savannah are a bit arrogant too.:3)
"I suppose you'd know that better than anyone." she said to him, she felt a bit depressed, but otherwise felt a fair bit better, her muscles relaxed a bit, which Damien would be able to tell easily, since she was so close, Clairna held the moment for a bit too, liking the closeness, and the strange peace that had come.
Suddenly she realised he was hugging her with only one arm, pulling back a bit she glanced at the arm which he wasn't hugging her with, eyes widening in shock Clairna said, in a trembling tone, "What happened to that arm? I did that didn't I?" she bit her lower lip, knowing the answer before he said anything, which started bleeding a little again she was biting her lip so hard from the nervousness and stress. Tears started welling up in her eyes again, "I-I can fix that..." she stuttered, trying not to break down in tears again, Damien obviously didn't want her upset, but with the current situation how could she not be upset?
Looking around frantically for the other part to his arm she spotted it a fair distance away, looking back to him she whispered, "I can fix that arm for you." Clairna hoped he'd forgive her after she'd done such horrible things, and probably she hadn't even started to find out the extent of what she'd done.
Killing things was fine for the most part, that's sort of what she had to do all the time, but against her will, and the ones she cared about getting hurt as well, was not ok.
Her brain registered that Savannah was talking, Clairna was starting to get upset all over again, she listened to what Savannah said, "Y-Yeah, you're right, I need to go do that now." she replied to Damien's older sister, upon looking at Savannah she saw at least two heavy wounds to the girl, she didn't really want to ask if she, well her other side, had done that.
(poor Charlie and Ray...XD)
(Yep, oh and I forgot to say: You're one to talk.

)
(Oh I know....

The poor guy, he might win the award for having the most horrid/depressing/awful/torturous/sad life in the world. Especially with what's coming....

Mwahahahahaha.....

So looking forward to it, going to be so fun to rp.^.^ )
(will reply to this later, my mum's birthday party is on right now, and I have to get ready real quick, oh, and I keep forgetting to mention, that two days or so ago, my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer (slow growing though, and it got caught early, so her life isn't in danger or anything(but it still might come back or something) ) so excuse any erratic rping from now on, I'm lucky to get any time to rp at all)
(Me done my reply now.:3)
