TOUR AND A MOVIE

Filming is ramping up.

Just as before, Higher Daybreak faculty are encouraging participants to see this as a way of learning to use their magical skills in a way that is discrete and ensures the protection of the Veil. It's spoken of as a chance for students to better learn how to hide their abilities while still putting them to use, disguising them as various other talents. In turn, they'll be credited in the film's production once it's complete, as well as receive extra credits in related courses. And of course, besides the great publicity, what better way to make a hit movie than adding a magical touch to it?

While work around the set continues to be welcomed and encouraged, this month filmmakers are particularly keen on finding those who can fill a newly opened role for an extra! Daybreak students are being to the very rare and special opportunity to audition in, without even going through the gruelling ordeal of terse agents, discouraging phone calls, and dull waiting areas! Just line right up and give it your best!

The following roles are open:

-Kindly and Adoring Town's Person Number Five

-Irritable Officer Number Two

-Overdramatic Restaurant Employee (or Customer, adjusted to match ages)

On top of this extraordinary opportunity, the winning student will be treated to a day on the town with De La Cruz himself.

On top of all this, with the improving weather, more scenes are being shot outside and in the heart of Soliel. It's quite possible to wander on set entirely by accident! Just remember that maintaining the laws of the Veil during this important project is still of utmost importance.

HONEST EFFORTS

Nothing happened. He took precautions, he followed the spell, he did everything right. He double-checked the runes and then triple checked the cage he'd set himself up in. There was light, there was energy, a whole burst of it shooting up around him and then darting out past the walls (and over the campus). And then nothing. He was still just as dead as before. He wasn't even a different kind of dead like his usual screw-ups led to. He made a flashy light show and nothing more. In a fit of frustration, he scraped the whole circle, packed up, and settled in to go back to work the next night.

But, with that morning, students and faculty alike around Daybreak may find themselves afflicted with a sudden need to be a little more candid than usual. Maybe a lot more candid.

The urge for honesty may manifest in being suddenly unable to lie-- either directly or at all. It might mean talking way too much. Maybe it means confessing things you've been bottling up, or simply showing who you are inside when you'd normally be inclined to hide it. It might just be something small and simple going throughout the day. Or, it could build into something so overwhelming it becomes impossible to bear until the truth is out. It varies from person to person and does, eventually, go away.

But it also may be intensified in those who might be just a bit too close to a certain someone...

[Emille can't help but soften the hard frown on her face once Puella makes her remark. She knows that exact feeling. If it wasn't for her eternal hatred towards the Dragons, she would have none of this.] Miss Tempus, it is likely that none of us truly wish to fight. We are all being thrust into a war that we have little hopes of winning, against forces much stronger and far beyond our control. The only hope that we have is to utilize our Radiance against the evils that wish to destroy all that we know and love.

[She hesitates a little, but feels compelled to divulge a little about herself.] Truthfully, I have little desire to physically fight, myself. I may have Flame abilities that aid me in battle, but that does little for a weak woman stuck in a child-sized body. Yet merely being a Candle proves that I have the willpower to fight for our world against the encroaching darkness that threatens to consume it. Not just against the Dragons, but everything that surrounds the coming of Nightfall. And because you also have enough willpower to be a Candle, Miss Tempus, you should be proud. Do not think of it as hurting others, but as defending our future. [She punctuates this with a determined nod. A pep talk honestly isn't much, but maybe it's just enough for now.]

[Oh, wait, a quick addendum, also coming from personal experience.] Even so, if you find it intolerable being on the front lines of combat, there are many supporting roles you could undertake. It is certainly an option to keep in mind, especially if you have abilities that are not combat-oriented.
