[Magnus starts the video with a friendly wave, grin wide, in the living room of his shared Spire Four apartment. He's apparently in a very good mood.]

Hey! Magnus here. If you haven't met me yet, what's up? You're in for a treat. I'm a delight. Anyway, I've got someone way better than me to introduce to you all! She's kind of shy, but she's a very good girl.

[He turns away from the screen to call whoever she is over.]

Peanut! Hey, Peanut!

[He waits for a couple seconds, then turns back sheepishly.]

She's still learning her name. Hang on. Peanut!

[Suddenly what looks like a black and grey dog covered in way more scales than fur and incredibly large red eyes jumps Magnus and he yelps and laughs, cut off when "Peanut" grabs the phone in her mouth and somehow turns it off.

After a short cut to black, Magnus reappears again, covered in awful scratches. He doesn't seem to mind, though.
]

Hey, I got her to calm down! She's super playful. Don't worry, I got her under control now. Look!

[He turns to point the camera at the varren, who is now sitting on the couch looking much calmer than before. The couch, though, happens to have a slash through one of its cushions, and Peanut happens to only be calm because she is currently in the process of chewing through a half-eaten throw pillow.]

Her name's Peanut and she's kind of a handful, but I think it's just 'cause she's young. She's super sweet, though. Man, my roommates are going to love her! Say hi, Peanut!

[Peanut doesn't say hi. Magnus reenters the frame then to take one of her paws and wave it at the camera. She snaps at him and bites his wrist painfully, and he yelps and kicks the phone trying to pull away. Everyone is treated to a final view of the ceiling, the backdrop a series of snarls and shrieks that descend into laughter.]

[He just. Raises his hands to his face for a second, clasped in front of his mouth like a prayer as he inhales, before tilting them forward as he speaks.]

Magnus. Did I not say, like, a fuckin' week ago not to do exactly the thing you're doing right now. Because I'm pretty sure I said, exactly, that that thing was gonna take your hand off, and by the looks of it, you're halfway there.

[He's going to pull all of his hair out at this rate holy living shit.]

Yeah, 'cause she's full from devouring a shitton of couch stuffing. Seriously, Magnus, is keeping Merle in the house not enough of a pet for you?? If whatever that is makes it into my room all bets are off.
pocketspa: (« [Bored] yeah well it sucks)

Honestly, Magnus, it’s the least you could do.

[Literally the least!!]

It can’t go in the kitchen, either, ‘cause then we won’t have any food. And I’m not cooking for it.
pocketspa: (« [Ugh] im the neverwinter of people)

Yeah, the gods don't give you dog food because that continues to be not a dog.

[He's losing steam for this, and he just sighs, because he's just not winning here.]

Just try not to die or whatever.
