Week 5

[grimgrinningghosts]

[...So that was a mess. All of it was a mess, and things don't look to be improving any time soon. With tensions at an all-time high and conditions worsened, it seems pretty safe to say that this whole week promises a great deal of foreboding atmosphere.

But, hey, things aren't entirely bad. Just as Randall promised, you're now able to leave the Manor! 

Just don't stay out there for too long. There's still a lot of you, and you just can't afford to lose numbers.

24 guests remain]

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]

[Ah ha ha...get ready for a bit of sadness.]

Yeah, actually. There's Stan's twin brother, Ford, and a coworker-er, maybe she'd be my employee now? Haven't worked out that stuff out yet. Anyway, there's also a girl named Wendy. Apparently they both went through the first one, along with someone else from Gravity Falls, but...he didn't make it.

There was someone else who was in the second one, but...

[He makes an auidible gulp and shivers before continuing.]

He...he ended up not making it...

[bestchefinparis]

[Oh, darn, that brought Soos bad memories. It's hard not to notice how Soos shivers, it's making him feel bad. Okay, maybe not everything is so bad...gotta focus on the positive side of the matter]

I'm sorry for your loss... [And he means it] I'm glad two lived. You talked to them, didn't you? I'm sure Stan's brother and this Wendy are going to do everything they can to get you, Mabel and Stan out.

[He considers saying that those who died aren't gone and that people can help them too, but that sounds a bit unfeasible to Rémy. The dead are dead, how can that ever be fixed?

Thinking about the survivors gets him to ask something, though...]

Soos, can I ask you for a favor?

[sorrydoods]

[He takes in a shaky breath, but otherwise Soos is alright by the time he speaks again.]

Yeah, I talked to...well, I talked to Wendy for a bit. They are planning on getting us all out, so I can keep that in mind.

[He does perk up a little bit at hearing that question.]

Sure. What do you need me to do?

[bestchefinparis]

[The Gravity Falls people are trying hard to rescue them! If they defeated some guy named Bill, and dealt with zombies and other stuff, they should manage to find a way somehow. That's why he asks:]

I know you and I aren't close friends or anything like that, but when they come to rescue us, could you make sure Basil and I aren't left behind? I don't know what we'll be doing when the rescue team arrives, or where we'll be at, but we're so small it'd be easy to not notice we're not with the rest.

[He looks away]

It's just that I'd feel calmer about everything if I knew for sure I wouldn't be forgotten here.

[And since Basil is in the same situation, well, why not to ask the same for him, as the only other person of the same size? People in the same situation must take care of each other!]

[sorrydoods]

[...wow...he didn't think he would get such a big responsibility...]

Of course dude! I'll make sure everyone that's still here will get out when they come around. I promise. I'll even run everywhere in this place to tell everyone that they're here as soon as I know myself.

You won't be forgotten here. I promise.

[It's a responsibility he's willing to take on, though.]

[bestchefinparis]

[That's a weight off his shoulders! Rémy smiles genuinely for what feels like the first time in a while]

Thank you! I knew I could trust you! Wait, I should make something to you as thanks. [To the fridge!] You know you can count on me for anything you want too, right? I know I may not seem like much but-- SHUT UP! [He's getting tired of the hallucination. Sure, it's milder than most, but it's gradually wearing him down. Rémy actually has to take a moment to stop and compose himself] B-But I'll help you with anything you want.

[sorrydoods]

[Yet again, the little outburst makes him jump a little bit, but other than that he just shakes it off.]

You don't have to make me anything, dude. I'm willing to do that for everybody.

Well, almost everybody.

[Negaduck can stay here for the rest of his life, for all he cares.

Not long after that statement is said, though, his stomach rumbles, and Soos realizes he still hasn't eaten anything for breakfast today.]

Then again, it would be nice to have pancakes or something.

[bestchefinparis]

You're going to get the best pancakes you ever had!

[No cheap premade batter, he's going to make it from scratch! And indeed, he's especially focused on making them as light and fluffy as possible. Three, four banana pancakes on a plate just for you! With butter and syrup, too]

There you go!

[sorrydoods]

[Soos sits and patiently waits at the nearest table, and when Rémy is finished, he goes over grabs a fork, takes a bite and-

...]

Don't tell my grandma, but...these the best pancakes ever!

[like, wow]

[bestchefinparis]

[Times like these really make Rémy feel like he's useful]

Thank you! I did my very best, you can be sure of that.

[Abuelita won't ever find out, don't worry, hah]

[sorrydoods]

[As Rémy says that, the rest of that first pancake is scarfed down.]

Believe me, I can tell!

[Time for pancake number two!]
