[code]Tiredville, The Halloween Festival[/code][/right][hr]
Luca looked at Lila’s arm and winced. To outsiders, it was probably no worse than the rotting wounds across his own arms, but to him it absolutely was. It was someone else, and was caused by feathers physically pulling themselves inside her skin. That must be excruciating. At least his pain was constant, if increasing. 

[color=6B8E23]”That’s their healer,”[/color] Luca said to Lila, pointing at Trevor with his incredibly recognisable voice. [color=6B8E23]”If they don’t help I have painkillers on me, and plenty of bandages and other stuff at mine!”[/color] His voice grew softer, so that just Lila could hear. [color=6B8E23]”We can talk too. About this.”[/color] 

He smiled at her and took a step back so hopefully Trevor could come around and heal her. He got closer to Jasper again, half leaning against him. The walk over to Lila had taken a lot out of him. His legs were aching, and he felt a tiredness deep in his bones. He knew that it would hit him even harder tomorrow, especially after the rot came back. 

[color=6B8E23]”Yeah, I think heading home is for the best,”[/color] Luca eventually replied to Jasper with a nod. The Halloween Festival had been appealing, and they hadn’t done much of it but… at the end of the day his friend’s comfort was more important. Lila’s comfort. And he wasn’t really physically able to enjoy it. There was always next year!

[color=6B8E23]If I’m still around next year.[/color] 

[color=6B8E23]”Oh, we can watch some more horror movies, since I downloaded so many!”[/color] He glanced at his friends with a grin, gaze settling on Lynn. [color=6B8E23]”And avoid drunk toga conga lines… what even is that? Is that a normal thing?”[/color] 

As he thought about that weird concept, a petal floated past his eyes. Then another one. Suddenly broken up bits of flowers were flowing all around them, like a gentle snowfall of petals. Luca reached out to catch one, holding it between his fingers and smiling at it. He hadn’t touched a flower in so long. But where were they coming from? It wasn’t a freak flower weather event was it?

He craned his neck to look up, glancing around the sky- Oh!

[color=6B8E23]”Is that Ken?”[/color] He pointed to the familiar floating figure, before waving. It had been a while since Luca last saw Ken, but he was one of the people he'd been able to keep contact with. It was nice to see him again... he could come along to Luca's place as well if he wanted to! [color=6B8E23]”Hey, Ken! Kennn!”[/color]
