But as soon as the zombies started flooding in, Luke was starting to realize what an incredibly stupid idea this was. He wouldn’t let himself go back now though, instead he’ll be searching for

[Clip clop clip clop Lucas's table is fast, maneuverable, and never tires, meaning that he's traveled across town a few times already, today. He's seen quite a few people he was concerned for... And missed still as many.

Time to cross one off the list, though.]

Luke....?!

[Luke comes to a sudden halt - a little too sudden though, as he's still getting used to the idea of using chainsaw blades as transportation. After crashing forward, he looks up.]

Lucas? Is that you?

[a_gentle_boy]

Wha -- How are you doing that?

[Lucas sounds completely astonished; the table continues to carry him forward after Luke falls, and it takes a moment or two before he realizes he's moving away.]

Oh, go back! Are you OK, Luke?

[hintcoinplz]

[Luke gets back up with a grunt, dusting himself off.]

Ah, I'm fine! And um, it' a long story. Are you doing alright, Lucas?

[a_gentle_boy]

I'm completely alright. I really don't give the table enough credit; I'm not sure how, but it just stomps right over them without a problem.

But... What was that just now?

[hintcoinplz]

How useful! Uh, how do you get it to move like that anyway?

And as for these...

[Luke hesitates a moment, before the saw blades appear on his legs again.

He doesn't want Lucas to flip out over this though, so he hurriedly offers an explanation.]

T-there's this girl around town who can apparently turn people's souls into weapons! When I ran into her, she needed my help and...

[His voice trails off. This wasn't helping much, was it.]

That's your soul? Your soul is saws? You're keeping your soul on your feet?

[hintcoinplz]

No, that's not my soul! O-or, I didn't think it was. I'm not really sure.

[a_gentle_boy]

...You're sure this is safe, Luke? I... Um. This is just like...

[hintcoinplz]

Just like...?

[a_gentle_boy]

Someone... you ... used to know.

[hintcoinplz]

...

You mean my previous Mayfield father.

[a_gentle_boy]

Y-You know already? ...Yes, that's right. ...Mr. Giriko... Those were the same kinds of abilities he had.

[hintcoinplz]

I saw the pictures I drew of him. It's...kind of creepy. Was that his name?

[a_gentle_boy]

...Yeah. Your old family was a little... creepy. But I think they really liked you, in their way.

[hintcoinplz]

I heard a lot of terrible things happened to them, but they were very protective. I'm a little disappointed I never got to meet them.
