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...

Do you also come from an old family, then? My ancestors have been Hunters for centuries.

Well, old, sure. Not super-important like a Hunter clan or a Mage family, but we've been around for a while. Lots of fey in Ireland and Britain have, when you get down to it.

stavros: Kokoro posing dramatically. ([a] just like any other)

[personal profile] stavros 2020-04-18 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
You understand me.

Well, I try to find common ground. Also an important part of socializing, by the way.
stavros: Kokoro smiling, embarrassed but confident. ([c] might be a competition)

I try... [sigh] There are nice people here, though. I don't mean to worry you or anything.

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2020-04-21 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I've met a few. You seem like one of them. I was...expecting some chaos when I got here, so it should be fine.
stavros: Kokoro annoyed. ([a] what did you do)

[personal profile] stavros 2020-04-22 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
When you say that, I suppose we do have a reputation among similar institutions. Mage schools tend to be much more rigid.
preventedmurder: (say caw one more time)

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2020-04-26 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[She rolls her eyes.]

Don't get me started on mages. I'll take a little chaos over the level of superiority complex you get from a lot of wizards in the same place all the time.
stavros: Kokoro beside Strarf. ([a] in a new dream)

I'm sure they're not all bad, and yet... well, many are.

There's this one clan back home...I swear, their head is the kind of guy who writes racist letters to the editor in his spare time, except he's a mage so they're all ranting about fairies or something.

I probably shouldn't go off if there's some kind of truth spell going or whatever, or we'll be here all day.
