[ 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.

That sure is fucking something

We could make it work

[nostalgiabomb]

I don't doubt it

make sure your buddy records it

[spellslots]

If another one of these videos ends up public, Cisco might kill one of us

[nostalgiabomb]

Maybe bribery might work?

Like. We're definitely recording this session or whatever and you're gonna look awesome, but just so you don't totally freak out here's $20.

[spellslots]

Maybe if the $20 is coated with xanax

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Aaand after a quick Quarantine-equivalent-Google of what the heck Xanax is— ]

Maybe a beer might work instead

or the promise of beer post-pole dancing.

[spellslots]

I dunno if there's enough beer in like every reality

I mean I'm totally cool with whoever seeing this shit but not everyone's as chill as me

[nostalgiabomb]

If nothing else, see if he can be your DJ

he's got good taste

[spellslots]

Cisco introduced me to like half the good music I know so yup, he's got pretty good taste
