No, I'm afraid I'm not her. Is she from Metal Gear Solid? I'm not too familiar with that game but she looks slightly familiar. I'm surprised there's a Kurdish character in that game. The only time I ever saw a Kurdish character in -anything- that was material from outside of the region and its closely surrounding areas was in the book No Safe Place.

As for when I moved here, well, I've moved forward and back a few times, so can't really have a definite answer to that. :P

"Hey, you go smoke all you want, I'm not telling Johnny to stop, am I? I'm just saying you don't neeeeeed it. And thank god I'm not your mother."

Help I'm scared Gilles and Hogan are going to end up being Emerald and Eve 2.0 *shot*

@Blizz
In Eve's case, I'm referring to the actual gemstone, because you pour toluene or something on that and it'll eat through it. And they're still capable of smell and taste, so... :P

@pyroman
I know some certain substances will not mix well if it comes into contact with Eve's gemstone (eg; alcohol, gasoline) as these substances (or the substances within these substances) dissolve evenkite, but I don't see there being a problem with cigarette smoke since the amount of benzene is very, very small. We're talking micrograms. For that matter, since Eve's third power is typhogenesis, she'd probably be pretty curious about them.

What do you know, another Canadian. Granted, I'm Kurdish before all else, and it quite frankly feels weird to say I'm Canadian, but that's where I am now. And trust me, we all were. You have no idea how happy all Kurds (and even Arabs for that matter) were when we heard he was finally gone.

"You don't neeeeeeed them, you waaaaant them. You need water, you need food, you need air. You don't need cigarettes."

@Blizz
Azurite, Beryl, Tourmaline*, and Topaz are available. Jade and Citrine are fusions while Diamonds are off-limits.

As for weapons, the Kama, Rapier, Halberd and Katar are available.

*Can't be green since that's technically Emerald, which we already have, or aqua, since that's technically Aquamarine (unless you go for Maxixe which is a darker variety of Aquamarine). Any other colour or variety (eg: Heliodor, Morganite) should be fine, though.

@Eviledd1984 Saddam Hussein bombed it, not the Americans, which is what I'm going to assume you are since most folk I meet online are. Saddam Hussein was an Iraqi-Arab who also happened to be a horrible, horrible person who rose to power.

And quite frankly, I'm more upset about all the people he killed and his attempted genocide on my nation, not to mention that he was the reason behind the first time I had to leave and couldn't return to Kurdistan (the second and current one being ISIS), but that's for another day.

"Well, even if I haaaaaad any, it was rude of you to ask random people for cigarettes, anyways!" *Sticks tongue out*

@Kronshi

I know it's mostly a dark-green (Bloodstone's actually one of my favourite gemstones) but Bloodstone's design seemed to be mostly red as was his text, but ye. ^ ^"

And yeah, no red in homeworld yet. But no purple gems at all. Brown sort of counts as orange and pink as red, so ye.

@Kronshi

Afbndkjfndk another gem what is this sorcery XD

Also, uh, isn't Bloodstone mostly red, though? *shot*

We don't have any brown or purple gems.

That place is where my mother was born. It used to be quite the city until Saddam Hussein bombed it out of existence. Now there's like, five hand-made houses there and only two of them are permanent residents. But it is quite the pretty place, and though it's really saddening that my mother's birth town is gone, I much prefer the company of lizards and grasshoppers over that of buildings and cars.

Gilles: *Now in downright whiny-(man)child voice* "But I tooooooooooooooold you, I don't haaaaaaaaaaaave anyyyyyyyyyyy."

@Eviledd1984

No worries, was only kidding~

As for what's up...Um, there's Eve's and Hogan's patience, for one...There's also this thing.



{That's a picture I took from Kurdistan when I was 12 or 13, by the way. Man it's been too long.}

We Are the Crystal Gems

-In the beginning Gems were born and Aquamarine was reformed from healing in her gem.

-Aquamarine finds young gems and tells them that it is not safe in Kindergarten and they should leave

-Group of Gems are attacked by spiderbots sent by Bloodstone to capture all gems and kill any present humans found

-Spiderbots are defeated shortly after which they meet the human Johnny

-Johnny helps them get to Mohs Town with his van

-Bloodstone then sends a Red Eye to scan Gems and make sure they can't hide in town

-Aquamarine and Spinel fuse to form Kyanite which they use to mess up thermal scanning on Red Eye

-This makes Bloodstone fire a laser at the town to not show weakness and destories large part of non-residential area.

-Everyone goes into town to help the humans while Bloodstone went into town pretending to be human to get food

-Reggie stalks Bloodstone and they talk

-The group of gems split up to cover more ground. One half of the group saves Johnny while the other run into Bloodstone.

-Group meets up again

-Young gems chose sides. All choose Aquamarine except Evenkite who NOPEs out and stays neutral

-Gems head to temple that Mayor told them about while saving Johnny

-Bloodstone goes back to ship and summons Chromite for help

-Alarms for new gem goes off and Bloodstone goes to meet Melanite with Chromite

-Sodalite follows Evenkite to Kindergarten instead of going to temple.

-Emerald, Spinel and Aquamarine notice a missing Sodalite

-Spinel heads to Kindergarten worried for the safety of the others and plans to bring them back safe

-Aqua asks the others to find the trigger to the stairs to the temple while she helps the other in Kindergarten in case someone is hurt

And additionally, since about six days past since this was made, I'll add my own bit:

-Melanite emerges late from Kindergarten

-Bloodstone and Chromite find her and try to get Melanite to come with them

-Eve makes horrible, horrible mistakes decides to interfere in order to have Melanite question Bloodstone's intentions

-Reggie saves Eve's sorry ass joins her and stuffs her into his backpack before she blacks out from overusing her powers

-Melanite becomes overwhelmed and NOPES out until she is found by Aquamarine and Spinel

-Sodalite tries to grab Eve as she interprets this as a kidnapping

-This causes Reggie to step back into the warp pad to Bloodstone's ship

-Sodalite tries to save Eve but eventually leaves

-Eve has woken up and is not a happy imp.

Also,

-Gilles meets a rather burnt out Johnny and attempts to cheer him up until Hogan comes along. Lots of awkward ensues.
