[ 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.

Who?

( Yeah, this about sums everything up, doesn't it? )

[spellslots]

Here

[And he sends an important link]

[jelmazmo]

That is one of your world's minstrels?

( U g h. )

The Dothraki war cry is gentler on one's ears.

[spellslots]

Not my world, just one of them out there

I guess there's no accounting for taste

[jelmazmo]

If the sound of actual instruments is considered a lack of taste, then what you've heard is not true music, ser.

( Look: Rhaegar could sing and knew his way around a harp, so clearly that's The Best. Because he was awesome. )

[spellslots]

I mean, I spent a year on a planet dedicated to creating music so good people cried about it but sure, I don't know shit about fuck

[jelmazmo]

I believe there are several more curse words you failed to include in that sentence.

[spellslots]

I got my favorites in there, that's what really matters

[jelmazmo]

( Is she amused or annoyed? It's a mystery. )

Any others you'd care to make me aware of?

[spellslots]

Nothing I'd say in front of a lady 😉

[he's being a shit, as per usual]

[jelmazmo]

It can't be worse than anything my brother used to say to — or about me.

( No one is a bigger turd than Viserys Targaryen. )

[spellslots]

That's totally different, siblings exist outside normal polite conventions

[jelmazmo]

Whatever you're thinking, Viserys was a thousandfold worse.

[spellslots]

Is this one of those things where you're joking or where I'm about to find out yet again that it's like impossible for siblings to get along

[him and Lup notwithstanding]

[jelmazmo]

He told me that if it took allowing forty thousand men and their horses to have their way with me would assure him an army and "his crown," that he would without question.

( Very much the latter. )

[spellslots]

Cool, I fucking hate this place

[jelmazmo]

I tire of your flippancy.

( And the feed is cut off abruptly. )
