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...

"Ay, but people go against the natures of what they're told to be all the time," He says. "The kid in particular is being raised up around people that will support them. That makes a lot of difference, you know? And rare or not, there are daemons out there who want better. It's simply a fact. I'm sure there are humans and all sorts who support Nightfall. No one's ever really representative of an entire species."

"You don't really need to apologize to me. I'm no daemon," He says. "But, you know, even if they are outliers, you have to think about why that is, right? There's a lot of daemons that may not know any other way to be. There are some that might be too scared to try. And there are some that face that kind of belief and they don't see the point in trying." Perhaps like a certain kid he talked to, who he met with less grace than he could have.
"I'd be lying if I said I was never afraid of daemons. I have... a lot of moments. And bad experiences. But, the way I see it, believing in those that step forward really only encourages more daemons to take that chance. It's the same with all kinds of human problems. You've just got to take each person for who they are at a time."

He trails off, and finally sighs. "Although he still seems like an exception. It would probably help your case if I knew what 'human problems' are."

"Oh, uh. You know. Where people come from, what they look like, anything someone decides to be or can't help being... people find reasons to treat each other badly for about any-- wait. Aren't you...?"

"MmmMM It's my fault! I messed up a spell and now I can't stop telling the truth and neither can anyone else and I don't know how to stop or make it go away and I didn't want to tell you or anyone else because this is really, really crappy and I'm sorry!" He sucks a breath. "You're an angel? Why're you hiding it?"
no subject
He makes a note to choose the truth carefully.
"My coming here wasn't exactly approved by Celestia," he explains after a moment. "Therefore, it's better for me if everyone assumes that I'm human."

Even if it's hard to help.
"Ah, but! I promise your secret is safe with me! I mean, not right now, but it will be. I'm usually pretty good with these things. Ay, lo siento."
