video/text (@cock.stealer)

( on the screen, the upper body of a regal-looking man, clad in white and pale blues, a ribbon around his head. on his shoulders, cocks, particularly fat and of the feathery kind, ominously staring into your soul. there’s a few cuts on the man’s cheek, bleeding dots on his neck—despite the additional rooster suddenly crowning his head, lan wangji looks impressively unperturbed, but if you squint, you might catch the light flare of his nostrils every time he breathes in, or the faint twitch in his left eye. low clucking sounds indicate there might be more, one stray feather gracefully spat out the moment he parts his lips on a measured sigh.

look at all those chickens. at least a dozen as the camera zooms in and out, and then the video ends, a text message instead. )


If these are yours, please come and fetch them. So long as you do not loiter, they will remain unharmed.

My name is Lan Wangji. You will find me by an old mill, near the mountain.

And yet you fail to respect it.

You will have to accept what has happened.

We didn't part on terms which would imply anything otherwise.

What are you talking about!

Wei Wuxian died not even a week before I was taken!

That's impossible

I mean. No. Not impossible. There are others from the future here. But.

I only just watched him die.

We did what where? Are you sure you didn't dream that up?

Why would I go pay respect to Guanyin with YOU?!

Wei Ying died because he toyed with powers he couldn't control and others paid the price for his arrogance.

I remember everything. All the way up through Nightless City.

( all the way up through the cliff, not that he's going to put that to words. )

While we're talking about it, I'm definitely just so glad everyone here knows I'm dead. Certainly something the whole network needed to hear, why wouldn't it be?

( he what.

his mind is racing now for how such a thing is even possible, let alone plausible. he took no precautions in the case of his death, set up no contingencies. the last thing he wants is for the yiling patriarch to rise again. so what happened? did that fall not kill him somehow, a fall that would kill a proper cultivator let alone one without a core?

it's too much to speculate over. the earliest twinge of a headache behind one eye tells him as much, and so he instead says -
)

Just hurry here, alright? And then explain this to me in person.

[ Jiang Cheng had been silent, stunned, too caught up in his own head, only belatedly even realizing that the conversation had continued without him.

And when had this turned into a conversation involving Wei Wuxian, anyway? He had never intended for anyone else to read this - is, in fact, wincing guiltily now as he thinks of Wei Wuxian reading his frustration-driven cruel words. ]


What do you mean he lives! He died! He fell to his death!

He died.

Such things aren't simply "rectified"
