Yeah; I jumped back and that’s after the Pavane reveal, so presumably those two answers are “Unity” and a so far unrevealed party who is “the threat” (separate from “the one sending the dreams” — and how is that less weird than Papa Legba anyway — and “the one attacking Zombies”).
It’s also possible that he considered the angry zombie horde to be the threat. It may be worth noting that Remy/Papa Legba had already disappeared when they showed up at Virginia’s room, so maybe he knew they were coming.
I don’t know about Remy, but taking six aspirin would make me hurl. And at this point in Remy’s hangover, all that would do is make his head hurt even worse. I’d recommend another cup of Virginia’s coffee.
1. A prairie oyster if you believe in hair of the dog; or
2. Strong coffee, orange juice or gatorade, ibuprofen, and runny eggs.
Coffee to clear your head, orange juice for electrolytes, ibuprofen for pain relief, and runny eggs because grease is an antiemetic and albumin absorbs the poisons. The prairie oyster does many of the same things, with gin as the painkiller.
Perhaps it’s because of my high metabolism, but I’ve never actually had a hangover – even on the very rare occasion that I got passed-out drunk – so I can’t speak to the efficacy of any purported cure.
My metabolism has always been incredibly slow and I never got a hangover either. I think it’s because I always drink lots of water, maybe? Hangovers are mostly dehydration symptoms after all.
Sir Pratchett did a riff on that in one of the Discworld novels, with the “Oh God” of hangovers who got violently ill every time their version of Bacchus got drunk. Cannot recall which book it was (Hogfather, maybe?) but the through line of that subplot was awesome.
So that’s where the rum’s gone….
What he also said is “ask two questions, get two answers”, meaning that Footface was not the threat. You’ll probably wanna look into that.

The zombie horde wasn’t really a threat, tho.
Well, they were trying to be threatening.

The two best hangover cures are either:

2. Strong coffee, orange juice or gatorade, ibuprofen, and runny eggs.

Drinking lots of water before going to sleep after drinking IS an effective hang over cure. That’s also why gatorade works.
Must be handy. Papa Legba possesses someone, parties and gets drunk, and leaves the hangover behind.
Well you know how it goes. Everyone wants to party, no one wants to clean up in the morning.

It was one of the Death books. Probably Hogfather, though it could have been Mort.
Definitely Hogfather, he was even in the movie.
In rum, veritas?
Y’know, Sweetheart isn’t really listening to Remy.
She’s been hanging around Tip top long.
Yeah, she’s not quite ready to make friends with him.
