They're all sitting at the dining room table, staring at Nolan with raised brows and dubious glances. He sits closest to the camera, serious but comfortable enough in the house.

"So this is the, uh, Sunshine girl camera." He tilts his head and observes the blinking red light.

"..yup," Kat nods, her expression a mixture of annoyed and weirded out.

"It's nice," he notes, voice high. "It's small." Nolan makes a face and squints. "But it's nice. I like it."

Sunshine and her mother exchange an amused glance.

"I wish, uh." He scratches his nose and his lips twitch into a small smile. "I wish Victoria could be here. Man."

Kat shakes her head. "Uh yeah, no one's figured out where she lives."

Nolan stares at her then nods slowly. "Huh. How 'bout that." He gives a large fake smile to Sunshine.

"Yep, mmm.." she clasps her hands together and awkwardly looks around.

"Yeah, we prefer it that way," her mother continues.

Nolan's smile drops and he rests his arm on the table. "But more to the point — why I'm here. I think you might be a Luiseach."

Sunshine blinks. "Established, continue."

"Mmhm. Okay, so, take — take your minds back, if you will, a couple hundred years.."

She drops her head and wheezes. "Oh man," she mutters.

"..right, uh, swords, sorcery, castles, Bubonic Plague, that sort of thing," he goes on, ignoring Sunshine as she rests her cheek on her hand, looking skeptical. "Luiseachai. Luiseach.. Luiseaches, and uh, they — they fight, they fight the bad guys in a myriad of really cool ways, but the thing that distinguished them from other people was always the fact that they were able to simultaneously attract and repel dark energy."

Sunshine doesn't move. "What'd you do, Google that."

He pauses. "Close." Nolan reaches down into his leather jacket and unzips it. "I have the article right here, detailing what I found." He passes it to the two. "You'll find everything in there — you know, it's full of all the important facts."

"Uh, so, do we think that the Luiseach still are around today?" Kat asks, looking over the words intently.

"No, well —" He shakes his head and blows out. "I, I think maybe, but they haven't been seen around in a while."

"Okay." Her mother quirks her lips. "Is that what you think Sunshine is, I mean..?"

Nolan considers. "Yeah," he says, more or less unsure. "Yeah. I think so. I think maybe."

"Okay.."

"I think probably."

Kat shakes her head. "But it says that they usually have a protector..?"

"Well, have you had anyone lookin' out for you or something?"

Her mother rolls her eyes, glaring at Nolan. "I thought you watched the videos.

He shrugs.

"Is that what Victoria..?"

"Probably, Victoria," he nods. "I don't know—"

"Or do you think you're the protector, I mean..?"

"Probably not, I'm very scrawny, I'm small, that's, not, that doesn't sound like.." He pushes his eyebrows together and shakes his head.

Sunshine eyes the camera and grunts. "Oh good, I was worried."

"Okay, so there's like powers and.." Kat trails off as she continues reading.

"Am I like a superhero?" Sunshine huffs, looking over her mother's shoulder at the article.

"You do use the word superhero."

Sunshine smirks.

"So.. what now?" Kat doesn't look up as she speaks.

Nolan sighs. "I don't know," he admits.

Sunshine straightens. "I feel like the only logical thing to do would be.. ten random facts about Nolan, I mean, we really should get to know him, shouldn't we?"

Nolan smiles. "Oh, that's — that's a good idea."

Kat drops her arms and stares at her daughter in disbelief. "Really?"

Sunshine smirks and nods. Nolan just shows a toothy grin to the camera.

Her mother grumbles. "I was thinking he's given us enough information, you can just hit the road." She narrows her eyes. "The Luiseach are believed to be extinct.."

"Hmm. That's nice."

"You're extinct."

"Yup."

Sunshine suddenly jumps up to Kat and Nolan's surprise and picks up the camera, snorting. "He thought I was kidding." She shows Nolan sitting in the chair, smiling widely. "Ten random facts. Go!"

"Alright, so." He turns his head from side to side, thinking. "Random fact number one, uh, I'm a Cancer." He purses his lips and nods, staring at the camera. When no one reacts he says, "Astrologically I'm a Cancer."

"Oh." Sunshine chuckles. "Okay."

"Uhh." He tilts his head up. "Number two, I never learned to drive a vehicle. I walked here." His serious expression never changes.

"You walked here?" Kat mutters.

"It took a long time.." Nolan looks down.

"That's—"

"Random fact number three! I've — I've lived in over 41 different home..s. Apartments."

"How many were haunted?" Her mother snorts.

He thinks. "12. I'm just kidding." Nolan smiles at both of them. "None. Not anymore. Number four, I like long walks on the beach and burritos."

Sunshine giggles under her breath.

"At the same time," he adds. "Number five, I'm an avid reader. However, I — I can't think of any books that I've read." He rubs his chin and moves his jaw.

"You read a lot but you can't name any books?" Kat raises a brow at her daughter. "Twilight series, whole thing. I know it's your favorite."

Nolan looks down. "Don't tell anyone," he whispers sarcastically. "Number six, uhh, I'm a good cook of macaroni and cheese, quesadillas.. spaghetti." He grins. "Buttered toast. Apples. I know where to get apples."

"Oh, good," she laughs.

"Number seven—"

"You don't cook apples.."

"These are getting more difficult, there's really not a lot of interesting things about me."

"Only on seven," Sunshine notes.

"Mmhm."

"Oh heavens, come on."

"Number seven, I'm a go-getter. I like to go and I like to get."

"That's — that's not—"

"Number eight, uhhh, I'm sixty five years old. I use a very rigorous exfoliation method involving lots of different types of mineral deposits and.. soapstone salts, that sort of thing." He nods, that thing he does when he's genuinely saying something.

"Hmm, jealous," Sunshine quips.

"Nine. Are we at nine?"

"Sure. Nine," Kat grumbles.

"Nine, um, when I was five years old I invented my own combination of spices as a — as a special blend, uh, it's a secret."

"Does it have a name?" Sunshine asks.

He raises a brow. "It's a secret." He uses that 'obviously' tone that Sunshine sometimes does to her mother, or, like, actually a lot, and it makes her realize how annoying it is.

"Kentucky Fried Chicken now uses it?" Kat jokes.

"No, they only use eleven, I use uh.." Nolan ponders. "The last count there was 45 spices."

"That sounds... gross." Sunshine makes a face.

"And uh, number ten, I have a slight but abiding interest in the paranormal and the strange." He gives a closed, forced smile.

"That's... very random.."

"Wow. Alright." Sunshine laughs. "Those were... ten.. extra special random facts about Nolan."

Hmm. She's not sure what to think about him, but does wonder after he eventually leaves. She thinks he's annoying and kind of obnoxious, but she does want her fans' opinions on him. They didn't really learn much from him — his ten random facts weren't that personal. I mean, yes, they were, but they weren't deep.

Not like she cares much anyway.

She guesses he's useful in the fact that he can Google a couple of things, and he's almost like an encyclopedia in that manner; definitely a know-it-all. But he has good shoes. That's always important.

Also, he likes spices a lot. That was weird.

Talks about himself very fondly, which she doesn't like either. Hmm. It seems there's more bad about him than good, and she needs to add the fact that she doesn't know why he came or what he came for.

Hopefully she doesn't have to see him again. If so, she might actually pull her hair out. Even though he did leave his information and wants her to call him, Sunshine isn't sure she really wants to. But it seems like he really wants to help.

Oh. Her mom also talked to him before he left and, well — apparently he'd found them accidentally? Whatever that means... he's not as cool as he thinks he is, clearly.

Ugh. Too many spiraling thoughts, and too little time to clear them all up.

OKAY these chapters for now are just kinda fun and lighthearted but we'll get into the story soon enough sorry i just love nolan so damn much and i wanna cherish him !!!
