Week 7

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Well this is all starting to feel incredibly routine. After being trapped here for a month and a half with no sign of rescue, maybe you have just resigned to the idea that you'll never leave this place and that people will keep dying until none of you're are left.

Truthfully, I can't even pretend to make an optimistic about any of this. it's a dark and horrid world you all live in.

There are no new floors today. It seems you finally have access to the whole mansion.

What's that thing people always say? "With power comes responsibility," or something. [distantly, the mcu is screaming because hiro's not actually part of the mcu and therefore shouldn't be making that reference.] It's like what General Organa said, I guess? Just because you have a weapon, doesn't mean you should use it.

[Which he personally thinks defeats the purpose, but.]

[sorrydoods]

Yeah, I think that's how it goes.

And, yeah, that's a good way to put it. Like, I may be a strong dude, but that doesn't mean I can go around and suplex people just because I can.

[And Undyne joins the MCU in screaming.]

Unless you're Gaston, apparently. [Why Is Gaston Like This and other mysteries. Hiro squeezes his eyes shut and it's so clear for a moment that he's a 14 year old kid who has seen too much death.] . . . Tadashi said they were coming for us. He's never lied before.

[He wants to go home.]

[sorrydoods]

[Soos knows that look. It's the look of a kid that's seen too much too soon in his life...or anyone's life, really. It just makes him wish he could get all the kids that were stuck here back home, where they'd never have to see stuff like this ever again.]

A-and I'm sure he still hasn't. It's just...taking them a long time to find us, I think. We are pretty much stuck in the void. I think it would be more surprising if they did find us immediately...

[But he already knows it would be a welcome surprise.]

[upgradeit]

It's been a month. He's supposed to - he's always supposed to come get me.

[It's always been like that. Tadashi always comes and rescues him - even after Tadashi died, his friends stepped in and it was like . . . Even though Tadashi wasn't there, he was still looking out for his stupid little brother who constantly needed rescuing from himself.]

[sorrydoods]

Th-that may be true, but...

[Soos is racking his brain, but...there's nothing. They've been stuck in this manor for over a month, with people dying almost every week, with their only sliver of hope being friends that said they could come help weeks ago. He wanted to stay optimistic, but...he was starting to think he couldn't anymore.

But there was one more option, at least.]

Well, maybe we can get ourselves out of here. Mabel and Stan have done things that seemed crazier.

[upgradeit]

. . . Yeah? I - the closest I've ever come is the time we . . . we went into a pocket dimension to save someone and I almost didn't make it back out.

[There's a very deliberate switch between "we" to "I" there.]

[sorrydoods]

Stan once managed to kill a dream demon guy by tricking him to enter his mind and then having his bro shoot him in the head with a mind erasing gun to make him forget everything and trapping the demon in there and getting him killed. Then he managed to remember everything thanks to one of Mabel's scrapbooks.

[He noticed that switch, but he figures that now is probably not the time for him to ask.]
