So. That happened.

Sunshine's back in safe territory. AKA, her room. She's just woken up and decided that a video would probably please her viewers — you know, just talking about her reaction to the events that took place. Because. Um. That was some footage, wasn't it?

Sunshine's more confused about Victoria than anything. For starters, how the hell did she get into Nolan's grandma's house? And second, how did she know they were there? How did she know how to stop Frederick? Then again, Victoria had prevented the demon from completely taking over her mother. Still. She hasn't seen Victoria since... well. The sighting was brief, but it was a sighting.

After that little 'Get out!' fiasco with Frederick the dead ghost, they'd booked it out of grandma's house and returned back home. Nolan... well, Sunshine has no idea where he went. He walked, presumably back to his... house...? Who knows.

On another note, Nolan's grandma was back in the house and confirmed that everything was good and dandy. Pretty solid and all that good stuff. Nolan's okay, too, aside from whatever lasting side effects might come from being choked and dragged down a hallway by a dead murderer.

He is acting a little strange, but he's fine, she thinks. He's gloating like crazy, since he was right about Sunshine being a Luiseach or whatever he calls it. Also, about grandma's house being haunted. Ugh. He's so obnoxious sometimes, but he's a friend, and she enjoys his company.

Nolan wants to do something else— go explore a haunted house or something of the sorts— and catch it on tape, so Sunshine supposes she's up for that. She just needs a little... personal time after the haunting they'd experienced.

Anyway. Everyone's good. She thinks. Yeah.

Holy shit. Sunshine— heard Anna again. She was in the kitchen, baking some cupcakes, when she heard the girl clear as day.

"Be careful."

It was really weird, and Sunshine doesn't like that warning, considering last time Anna had confronted them, it had been at the hotel before her mother's possession.

It's also unnerving considering neither Sunshine or her mother have heard from Anna in months, so. Strange. It's gotta mean something. Maybe Nolan will know.

"Hey guys. So. Nolan has something he wants to... say."

They're sitting at the dining room table. Nolan has a smirk on his face, his elbow slung across the kitchen counter. Sunshine is slightly confused and waiting for the inevitable— his gloating.

Nolan throws his hands out and purses his lips. "Well I've... never been one to gloat—"

Sunshine raises her eyebrows at the camera dubiously.

"you know, patter on," he dramatically continues, straightening up, "but I would just like to, um, make everyone aware, once again, that there's this— Luiseach thing, that's uh—" He sarcastically looks around, "—somethin' about it was... occurring and everyone was like, 'Hey, Nolan, you're crazy! Get out of our house.'"

Sunshine rolls her eyes and stares at his dramatic reenactments, nodding. Sure. Okay.

"And then," he narrates dramatically, turning to smile at the camera, "we went to my grandmother's house."

Sunshine is looking off to the side, lips grudgingly raising into the hint of a smile. He can't help but rub it in her face, can he?

"Well, what happened at my grandmother's, I don't remember, it's fuzzy.." He pushes his brows together and looks at her.

She smiles and skeptically says, "You don't remember?"

"Ah, man," he shakes his head, "what happened?"
