Reverend Reverend please come quick 'cause I got something to admit
Who: Ernesto OR Héctor + TWO Mingle spaces
What: TOUR AND A MOVIE PART TWO; STARING YOU? + NECROMANCY; HONEST EFFORTS (a.k.a, Héctor's failed revival this month is a truth spell.)
When: April, late in the month
Where: A filming location in Soliel, Daybreak Academy
Warning: N/A
Notes: People affected by Héctor's accidental truth spell can also bring this into the movie mingle. Have you ever lied without actually lying? Now's the time to learn!
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...

Yes, beware the orange flowers! They are a sign that Dragon daemons are nearby. They emit these flowers, which have toxic pollen, in order to weaken their prey before devouring them. That pollen has the potential to cause a debilitating illness in humans. Even so, I am working on producing an antidote to counteract the effects of the pollen so we can launch an attack on the Dragons when we are ready.
[Emille's eyes widen when that last bit slips out. Her mouth is a freaking sieve today and maybe she should just hush now. With a sigh, she tries to change her wording a bit:] Excuse me. I mean, when the Dragons come to us, as they inevitably will. We must fight back, and deny them any victory over us! [She's not sure if that was any better...] In any case, please alert me immediately if you ever see any of those orange flowers, and do not engage the Dragons alone.
no subject
I'll keep that in mind, but you're not seriously planning an offensive against Daemons in the Outlands, are you?
no subject
[Standard speech over, Emille narrows her eyes.] Even though we are officially taking more of a defensive stand against the Dragon threat, I would not be opposed in the slightest to taking the battle to them in the Outlands. However, victory would only be assured if everyone fights together, and as some would surely be opposed to such tactics, I am relegated to merely dreaming about earning my sweet revenge before its due time. [She may sound as if she's a madwoman, but she's extremely serious. Perhaps it's that seriousness that makes her a madwoman, then?]
no subject
Still though...given a choice between revenge and protecting people, I'm guessing you'd go with "revenge"?
no subject
[Emille narrows her eyes at the pointed question that follows. Oh, why are her usual grace and tact failing her today? It is a question she has considered in the past, however, so she just blurts out what she'd decided all that time ago:] If we were ever faced with a situation in which we would have an opportunity to make a powerful, crippling blow to the Dragons, especially to one of the fearsome True Dragons... Yes, I would consider it a worthy sacrifice to lose a few humans now in order to preserve our future. [She stops there and considers saving face, but this conversation has gone too far for her to bother.] And yes, I would savor it as a glorious act of revenge. Once we can finally go on the offensive and strike back, we will be able to prove to those monsters that the inhabitants of this planet, the ones that they likely only see as cattle for fattening and feasting upon, have the willpower to fight back and resist their higher position on the celestial food chain.
[She has to catch her breath after all these words finally finish leaving her system. But, honestly? It feels great to be able to get some of this bottled-up anger off of her chest. Should she do this more often? Or would it scare everyone away?]
no subject
Out of curiosity, have you ever read Moby-Dick?
no subject
Moby-Dick? No, I have not. I have little time to read for pleasure.

[Having not read the novel nor seen any Star Trek movies, she totally misses the point Anand is trying to make. Good luck with that one.]
