"Oh, bro, being a pawn sucks. Like, obviously I'm--" Shit. No. Not admitting anything about Mobei-Jun, no matter how nice Casper would be about it, he does not want to know what Wet Justice or Scary Ouji Lawyer would think about it if they found out. People knowing a thing makes it less secret. Changing tracks. "Like, An Ding is the fourth peak, and Yue Qingyuan is the sect leader, and whatever he says goes, and I just kind of have to, figure out how to make it happen, because since I'm in charge of logistics everything is sort of my problem? Does she just like, point you at shit like, here you go here's the problem you figure it out?"
"I... yeah. I-- there aren't very many characters it would have been worse to transmigrate into. Cucumber-bro got one of the few, but he managed to flip everything around and change the plot so everything came up roses for him. I was never allowed to deviate from the plot like that." Shang Qinghua looks down and away. He'll never be sure if he's managed to avert his death. It hangs over him. Cucumber-bro can rest assured that Luo Binghe would rather die than turn him into a human stick, but... Mobei-Jun is not a sticky little sheep. "I wasn't really like, allowed to be a likeable person, even if I was good at that, haha."
Casper’s whole face lights up when he grins at Shang Qinghua’s answer. People don’t smile at him very often. It’s… really nice, wow, maybe especially when it’s someone as easy to get along with as Casper. He kinda wants to make him keep smiling like that. "I get that. I always read to escape, like, my parents were divorced and I was sort of in the way of their new families, and writing it myself seemed like a way to have... more of that. And then I managed to make money off it, so it was kind of the best of both worlds, even though I didn't have much time to read when I had to write all the time. The literature scene is, uh, different, in the world I was reborn in, but I still manage to find some stuff to read when I'm not working. My shidi's little sister actually writes this really hilarious yellow book about Cucumber-bro and his husband, it's awful, I have no idea how she can look anyone in the eye." Resentment of Chunshan! Of course he's read it, what do you take him for? "It's sort of weird, though, looking for fantasy when I'm... in one. I want a better fantasy, without all the shitty parts I'm stuck with, yknow?"
