Fucking goats!

[ Look who is back from the dead.

Yes, it is Jiang Cheng, newly returned to the lands of the living after humpty dumpty met a goat even bitchier than himself and took a little fall.

Still hasn't figured out how to network. ]

Don't ask stupid questions like that!

[ Look. This is mortifying! ]

[porndealer]

[It's definitely Jiang Cheng.]

How are they stupid?

You didn't answer my question, Jiang-xiong. We've been worried!

[legbreakings]

[ Wow. Rude! ]

I might have died.

[porndealer]

What?!

You've been gone for a week and think you may have died? Jiang-Cheng how could you not know?!

[Huaisang is in shock reading this. Why does Jiang Cheng act like it's nothing serious at all? Then again, isn't that the whole point of this place? People are supposed to die. Then come back. It happened to Wuxian too already. Now Jiang Cheng. The realization sobers him up pretty quick, feeling bad about "shouting" at his friend.]

... have you spoken to your sister yet?

[legbreakings]

[ No, no, it doesn't really feel like a small matter at all, it's just that he doesn't want to go into the humiliating cause of death. ]

Okay. I have died. I know it for a fact. Or, I must have died, anyway, nobody could have survived that.

Happy now?

[porndealer]

Why would I be happy about that?

[legbreakings]

I admitted to it.

[porndealer]

[What does this have to do with admitting things?! Huaisang types and deletes a bunch of things, feeling like none of it is the right thing to say. What IS the right thing to say to a friend that's seemingly died?

It was as uncomfortable and awkward when it was Wuxian, now it's the same with Jiang Cheng.]

Where are you?
You should come home, your sister has been very worried.

[No doubt putting on a very brave face, but when your brother who's very loud and easy to keep track of goes silent and missing for a week... she must be very relieved yet horrified at the same time.]

[legbreakings]

I will. I will go home.

I don't want to worry A-Jie. She must have been very upset. I wish I hadn't. I don't want to upset her.

How long have I been gone?

[porndealer]

She'll be more happy to see you I'm certain.

A week.

[legbreakings]

Shit

That's bad

She's going to kill me. Again.

[porndealer]

What???

You can't really think she would?

[legbreakings]

Not literally, idiot!

I must have worried her.

[porndealer]

You're an idiot for dying. Idiot.

We were all worried.

I'm glad you're not dead anymore.

[legbreakings]

It's not like I died on purpose

And it is actually very embarrassing. I already wish I hadn't made this post at all. Nobody should know. I guess I wasn't in my right mind, just waking up again and realizing what had happened.

[porndealer]

I know I know.

[Jiang Cheng is too bitter and angry to die on purpose.]

You died, Jiang-xiong, I think you've earned the right to be out of sorts.

But don't do it again? Okay?

[legbreakings]

It's not like I did it on purpose, I was trying very hard NOT to die. But I will be more careful.

[porndealer]

No more picking on the wildlife.

[He assumes that was the cause. "Fucking goats".]

[legbreakings]

Yes. I guess they don't like being stolen.

[porndealer]

Does anyone?

[legbreakings]

I was going to be nice about it, though!

[porndealer]

Oh oh that changes everything.

[legbreakings]

I mean it! I wasn't going to hurt the goats. Just... displace one. Gently.

[ Yeah, and nobody had informed the goats of that no hurting rule so... ]

[porndealer]

Were you going to use it in your war against the ducks?

[This is a serious question.]

[legbreakings]

[ ... ]

I hadn't thought of that.

[ But it's brilliant! Why isn't Huaisang a strategist? ]

It was to be a gift.

[ Offered reluctantly, considering how Wei Wuxian had laughed at him for that. ]
