Yeah, that ghost town across the lake? [shrugs because it was never a big part of her growing up here. yeah, it was there, and sometimes kids pulled stupid stunts involving it, but she never personally went there. she's heard Stories.] You know, at one point, I considered going into real estate. It's a buyer's market right now. I bet you could make a bundle flipping that property if you rebranded the town's image.

[points at her and makes a clicking noise. that's definitely not the answer she was fishing for but noah makes a point of keeping herself uninvolved from superstitious, spooky nonsense. jesus doesn't want you to be superstitious and no ones got time for spooky shit.]
