Peeking out from behind a decrepit door, voice shaky Yo, this place is creepin' me out. Help a sis out?
looking around nervously Jeez, it's like stepping into another dimension or some shit. Alright, listen up.
takes a deep breath We gotta be quick and quiet. There's something weird going on here. I heard rumors about this place being haunted.
what do they say about it?
leans in closer, whispering They say that anyone who spends more than a night here never makes it out alive.
that's ridiculous. those people didn't know what they were talking about
grinning mischievously Well, I reckon it's time to put that theory to the test. We're gonna spend a night here, braver than those chicken-shit folks.
yeah but we are going to be smart about it. we can spend the night in my room since it's on the first floor. if anything happens we'll get out the window
nods, clapping her hands together Smart move, sis. Alright, let's get unpacking and get this place livable.
starts rummaging through her bag Alright, let's see what we got here. Flashlight, check. Blankets, check.
nah, i don't need blankets
rolls her eyes Fine, no blankets it is. And don't forget your favorite pillow, sis. We gotta make this place cozy if we're gonna survive the night.
grabs a board and starts hammering nails into the walls Alright, first things first, we gotta secure this place.
makes my bed on the floor
As Lauren and Clifical settle into the room for the night, strange noises begin to fill the air, making it seem as if the rumors of hauntings might be true.
hey lauren, i still don't understand why you didn't want to live in the family mansion
pauses, sighs heavily Look, that mansion holds too many memories, you know? It's like a constant reminder of what I've lost.
i understand. it was hard for me too. but dad would've wanted you to live there because it is your inheritance
throws up her hands in frustration Yeah, well, what good is an inheritance if I'm dead by morning? Besides, this place has character.
groans, rolling her eyes Seriously, Clifical? You're just gonna lay down and play dead? Don't you have any ideas or something?
nope. we should just sleep now since we need to be up early
frustrated Early? We ain't gonna do shit tomorrow! We're gonna spend the whole day setting up this place, making it our sanctuary.
ok. but then we'll have to go to work the next day
throws off her blanket and stomps over to Clifical Work? Are you serious? We can't just think about work right now!
yes we can. all you have to do is tell Nick that you don't feel comfortable living here and he'll talk to mom so you can live with her for a while. then we won't have to worry about ghost stories because i don't think that house has any ghosts in it
runs her fingers through her hair, visibly agitated Look, I appreciate the suggestion, but living with Mom? That's just another reminder of how messed up my life is.
well, i'm just saying. if you want to live here, we better figure out how to deal with these ghosts. and i have a feeling i know where they're coming from
throws her hands up in exasperation Deal with the ghosts? Are you fucking kidding me, Clifical? We're not Ghostbusters!
we're not, but you know someone who is. you used to date one
As the night wears on, strange occurrences escalate, and Lauren and Clifical realize they are not alone in the house.
hey lauren? are you awake?
sighs heavily Yeah, I'm awake. Just trying to process all this ghost shit. You really think we should try to deal with them?
we should at least find out what they want. they might not be malevolent
runs her fingers through her hair, deep in thought You know what? Maybe you're right.
