Paranoia has it's good points. If he been blindly running he would have been in far worse shape, as it was when the ground shook Luke had time to react. As the ground rumbles and shakes Luke does what comes naturally, and that's get off the ground. He leaps for a fire escape just as the large pink flower emerges from the ground, Luke stares at it mind in shock but body already reacting. Luke hadn't worked so hard for so many years to be plant food that easy. He dug through his bag, there had to be something he could do, anything! He didn't place good odds on the fire escape being safe for more than a moment, so he had to think fast. Hitting the bottom of the bag he found what he was looking for and wore a feral smile, if he's lucky he might just survive long enough to get eaten by something else.
