Alastor wasn't used to this style, so he wasn't used to how it was supposed to be presented. Fortunately, Dante's antics were giving him an idea of what he should be doing. It was going to be embarrassing, but half of the fun of a performance was being ridiculous and just having fun with it. Proper embarrassment would come later.

He teleported up to Dante to meet him nose-to-nose, like a conversation being held upside-down as they sang in unison.

♪♫ I can't lie, I'm nervous
And I'm afraid they've been catching on
I can't lie, I'm nervous
And I'm afraid you've been catching on ♪♫

Alastor pushed himself up and lazily spun on the pole to get into a sitting position on the opposite side of the disco ball. The shadows swept up the walls of the building to obscure all lights save for the ones reflecting off the disco ball, giving the impression of being in the center of a kaleidoscope.

Alastor propped up one knee as he wrapped his arms around it, looking small and a bit vulnerable in contrast to Dante.

♪♫ I could run away right now and leave it all
Yet I choose to stay and suddenly recall ♪♫

He started to stand, using the pole for support. The air was humming with power as his allowed his emotions -- the thrill of performing live in front of a hopefully appreciative audience -- to flow through his magic. Those who'd been in Reverein would sense something similar to dreamotion due to Alastor's typical magic working very similarly to it in places.

♪♫ That I love the lights, the crowd, the stage tonight
If I just calm down I know I'll be alright ♪♫

The shadows melted off the walls, letting the light back in. Shadows swirled up and over Alastor, covering his body up past his neck. He closed his eyes, enjoying the contrast of the shadows over the pounding of his heart.

♪♫ Though I hear my name called and I’m terrified
When the countdown ends that’s when I feel alive ♪♫

On the last word, Alastor snapped his head back, a rapturous smile on his face. The shadows scattered to reveal that he'd changed. His shoes and gloves were still the same but he now sported black dress pants and a large red hoodie that flickered like firelight on a black backdrop when a shadow crossed in front of the light for a brief moment.

It's not usually Alastor's style, but right now, he's nailing it. Didn't take him long to go with the flow. Maybe that's just the pact and Dante's influence helping nudge him along. Either way, there's a chance to play at opposites with Al right now, standing tall and looking confident. It trades off with Al as he starts looking more confident and Dante being taken aback, playing out a give and take with the two trying to meet in the middle.

♫ Wait just a minute
I’ll take this city and shut it down
Gonna take just a minute
The clock’s still ticking and my time is now ♫

Hanging upside down, it finally looked like his coat was starting to dangle and threatening to hit the floor. With arms pointed toward the ground, it seemed like that would be the case. When it comes loose, it's quickly reversed, a swish over Dante's figure to reveal he's changed his outfit: pinstripes along his suit and a pair of headphones that looked to give him long, fluffy ears. The keen might recognize him swapping over towards Alastor's aesthetic, similar to the Radio Demon changing a little towards Dante's.

♫ Can’t wait for a minute
My heart’s still beating and the stage is set
Gonna go out there and win it
A thought that I will never forget
I can’t lie, I’m nervous

And I’m afraid they’ve been catching on
I can’t lie, I’m nervous
And I’m afraid you’ve been catching on ♫

With the last beat of the song, Dante calls in the pyrotechnics to light the place up. Harmless stuff, theatrical effects to capture the last part of their performance while he strikes a pose. Regardless of how the audience reacts to it, he had fun and he's sure Alastor did, too. That counts for something.
