[Sitting under a shady tree is the very same old world looking Luke with the thick English accent. He's currently surrounded by what looks like an art project. Little opened bottle of paint, some feathers, beads and fakes jewels rest beside him and before him are many fabric masquerade mask in various colors. Though what seems to be holding his attention are the glitter pens. The store owner recommended them but boy still wasn't sure what for... These mordern art tools were a little different from what he's used to, so he's been gazing at it thoughtfully for quite sometime now. It was an odd sort of pen, nothing like a quill and was filled with shiny dust.]

Looks like something a pixie would make...

[Gives the plastic pen and jumps when some of the dust squirts out and lands on a mask.]

Oh, bugger...

[ Lets out a sigh as he relaxes again. ] What if touching them had negative consequences? Did you stop to think of that?

Sounds as though you think a great deal more than most of the Lukes -- with short or long hair. That is to say nothing of your accent. [ Seats himself on the ground, drawing a leg up to his chest. He'll just ignore the whole question of how he got the wings. ] Just what do you mean by something being off with me?

Not really, I just thought they looked soft. This was the most negative I was expecting. A slap and a grumpy Angel. [Is just glad the slap was on his hand.]

Hm, I wouldn't be surprised. Most of the other Lukes I've encountered ranged from slightly mad to out right nutters. And what of my accent? [Huffs a bit thinking he‘s planning to make fun as well.]

They do have a fair amount of down on them. Try to be more cautious in the future; you might come across something that looks pleasant but is lethal in reality.

[ Can't help but snort into the sleeve of his shirt at that description of the replicas. And so much for his question. ] I had never heard one like it before. Nothing against you.

Already had a few of those, but I've also had ones that looked lethal and turned out to be life savers. [Fond smile.] Doubt I'll ever get the hang of it at this rate.

I see... yes, I do seem to confuse many of the residents with it. [Leans back to rest against the tree trunk.]

And I couldn't really say what feels off about you. Maybe it's because you feel alive...

Just be careful you do not accidentally poison yourself, hmm? That would be a shame since you seem to have a good head on your shoulders.

... [ You get a look like you're an idiot for that one, Luke. ] What kind of moronic statement is that? Do you often fraternize with zombies or the like?

I wouldn't worry about that. I'm a terribly picky eater. Thanks for the compliment none the less. [Glues some feather to the sides of the mask like wings.]

Oh, gah, no! I avoid zombies and voodoo. Nasty stuff... [Makes a face.] No, most of my time is spent with a vampire version of you.

Not quite what I meant, but still. [ Shakes his head somewhat and picks up a faux feather. ]

...a vampire. Wonderful company you keep, though I fail to see how that differs from zombies.

[Picks up a glitter pen and tries this again but with a soft squeeze.] Oh!

[Looked pleased for a moment until he said that.] He's nothing like those things. Vampires have free will, they choose who or what they feed on they don't just attack mindlessly. They speak, have memories and can feel. They’re wonderful company indeed.

[Snatches the feather back from him and sticks it roughly to the mask.]

My, so touchy. [ Yes, that's a smile he's hiding behind his hand. ]

Then I will have to take your word for it, as I have yet to meet any bloodsuckers that are not a form of monster. [ Reaches out to pat him on the head. ]

My apologies for having upset you.

[Huff! Huff!]

Hmph, most are only monsters if you treat them as such. [Shakes his head when he's pat.]

Hn, it's nothing unexpected I suppose. It's just never nice hearing people bad mouth something they don't understand... [Settles down again and starts making swirl designs on the mask with gold glitter.]

[ SNERK. He must have all the luck of coming across the amusing Lukes. ] I was merely speaking from my experiences. Which are, admittedly, lacking in various areas.

Is this for some special occasion or just for fun? [ Takes up a blank mask and holds it in front of his face. ]

Hm... I've only met one vampire in this new world. He was rather civil in my opinion.

[Looks up when he takes a mask and smiles faintly when the Angel starts to play. Stupid Asches weren't supposed to be so cute dammit.]

A bit of both. It’s holiday in my world. All hallows eve. A spooky holiday where you can pretend to be who or whatever you want to be for a day.

Like any type of people, there are bound to be both decent and despicable.

[ Gives a subtle nod and places the mask on the ground to arrange decorations on it. ]

A fascinating idea for a holiday. I wonder if anyone from my world would be interested in it...

I don't see why not unless they are the jumpy type, it's also a holiday for ghost and ghouls. Older traditions say it's also the day the dead can walk among the living. But it's quite fun. The adults have parties and the children are given candy. No matter what the age you're bound to get something good!

[Smiles and rolls some glitter pens in his direction.] Any ideas on what you'd like to be?

I know of one person who would take a day such as that a little too seriously. It would be a great deal of fun to play pranks on her.

[ Grins, growing quiet for a minute while he thinks. ] Going as myself would scare most.

Oh? An angel that picks on ladies? [Snerks.] Is she that uptight?

[Raises a brow.] Yes, your fluffy little wings are quite fearsome. [Chuckles and holds up the finished mask.]

When she happens to be a childhood friend, yes. But no, she is more gullible than anything. She would believe every little tale about the undead.

[ Said wings puff out indignantly. ] Very nice. What do you plan on being?

Well tell her to dress as someone with a sense of humor for the holiday. [Holds the mask up to the boy's face.]

Don't know yet. But this one is for you, Angel.

Should I see her, I will.

[ Leans back and just blinks for a long while before taking the mask from him. ] For me? [ And... "Angel"? ]

She's not here?

Mhmm, it was inspired by you so it's meant for you. [Pulls another blank mask over.]

Not that I know of.

[ If he were the type, Asch would be blushing about now. ] ...thank you. [ Well now, he'll just have to return the favor and make one for Luke. Hmm... Yellow works. ]

Shame... Do you have people from your world here at least?

[Just waves him off and starts gluing some red feathers to the black mask he has, shaping them like cat ears.]

My idiot replica is here, and I have made several friends.

[ Using feathers to make an animal shape? Very clever. He sets the mask down and cuts an equal length of yellow, red, and green ribbon, then begins to braid them together. ]

Well that's good... erm, are you not fond of your replica?

[Watches him a moment in silent curiosity.]

[ Smiles fondly as he pokes a hole in the mask and attaches the braid. ]

Quite the opposite. Yet that does not stop him from being an idiot.
