[ The video shows a largeish well-lit room, the back wall made up entirely of mirrors, with three narrow poles set up in the middle of the room. It begins shakily, in medias res, a minute or so into Nicki Minaj's inimitable Anaconda. On the poles are none other than Taako, Lup, and Cisco, each performing some variation of pole dancing. It is clear that they have been practicing for a little while... but not all that long. They are clumsy, to varying degrees. Each of them is wearing some kind of festive and 80's outfit, extremely neon and extremely tacky. They don't seem particularly aware of being filmed, concentrating instead on their dances, singing along in some parts, and doing quite a great deal more hair flipping than is strictly necessary. There's an occasional glance of Magnus himself in the mirror, recording all of it on his phone. They are doing their best, but there are moments of clumsiness and laughter. At the end of the song, Lup does a dead drop that is taking the word 'dead' way more seriously than anyone ever intended. Her body drops to the floor with a loud THUD and her lich form raises out of it, concluding the whole video with a spectacular dab that sends Magnus into loud, booming fits of laughter as the camera jostles and the video cuts out.

And I would never doubt that for a moment.

You should wear form-fitting clothes more often, by the way. You have the arse for it.

[ When he reads that comment, Cisco transcends to a new level of embarrassment that he didn't even realize was humanly possible. He hadn't realized Magnus was filming and there had been way, way more booty-shaking in general than he would ever like publicized thanks very much. And sure, Cisco knows he's got a pretty great butt, but he didn't want Dorian knowing it. ]

THIS CONVERSATION IS OFFICIALLY OVER NOW GOODBYE

[tevinteraltus]

If you choose to cease response, so be it, but this is far from over.

That being said, I'm just as satisfied imagining the shades of red you're turning.

[franciscoramon]

[ Cisco is making a personal resolution right here and right now to invent a machine like one of those flashing doodads from Men In Black precisely for situations like these.

But he's definitely not replying, nope, he's moved on to pretending this exchange never happened!!! ]

[Eddie tapping in to ensure this doesn't die.]

Best ass in the Quarantine.

[tevinteraltus]

That is debatable.

[causational]

Did we watch the same video???

Fine fine, I know. Best is subjective. ;)

[tevinteraltus]

Indeed, and you've never seen mine, nor I yours for that matter. We have far too few a subject pool to cast a valid argument.

That could be remedied, though...

[causational]

I think I might just be biased.

So what you're saying is that we need to do a post where we solicit butt pictures?

[tevinteraltus]

Which eliminates you as a judge. If there's to be a competition, it should at least be fair, shouldn't it?

[He is neither confirming nor denying this proposed solicitation.]

[causational]

Boo. I'm perfectly unbiased when you remove Cisco from the pool of candidates.

[tevinteraltus]

Ah, but if we do that, he's also exempt from winning.

[franciscoramon]

i'll voluntarily abstain from the competition
like i'll do it gladly
in fact i insist on it thanks

[ Not... that he's reading this conversation... ]

[tevinteraltus]

You are far too modest. You clearly don't avoid mirrors. I'd recommend using one now and again. Appreciate the man who peers back.

[causational]

A wise man. Cisco, definitely listen to this guy.

[tevinteraltus]

I knew there was a reason I liked you, Eddie. You aren't afraid to admit when I'm right.
