[At around 3:00am on Saturday, June 29th, a short message is posted to the Network. It's a link; to an off-Network public website.

Please forward this to your non-magic friends, if you believe hiding our existence is wrong.
www.prophetiesdelatombeedelanuit.fr


[The entry page is a black background with a badly done logo:



When the eye is clicked, it leads to a terribly designed website. Lime green and neon pink everywhere, with bold text in yellow and white. The text is center aligned, and a mix of hideous fonts. After a brief explanation stating the website is a collection of precognitive vision experiences, a video is embedded.]


[Video]:
Toki is in the basement of Theatre Lenormand. A soft red glow the only illumination to the room. He's wearing his Daybreak uniform, beret and all. Behind him, the concrete wall is decorated with fading drawings of the Herald's eyes from an incident last Monday. He waves at the camera, smiling. In his usual fashion, he plows right into a rapid-fire speech in Japanese. There are French subtitles in bright violet.

"There are very important things out in the world that you are not being told about and I'm going to talk about them here, because everyone deserves to have this information! MAGIC IS REAL! Did you hear that!? Okay? Yes! Magic is real and the supernatural exists! All of those things you've heard about in folktales and myths and legends actually roam the earth and these people, these magic enclaves, are keeping this from you! Daemons, vampires, werewolves, necromancers! It's all real! This uniform? Is from a magic school in France called Daybreak Academy! It's hidden up in the Alps near the German border, but will you find it on a satellite image!? No! Because they don't want you to know! Now, let me tell you about what happened to me and how I got to this magic place and why I'm telling you about it! Several months ago, I was just an ordinary person like every one of you! I lived in Tokyo, Japan, with my sister and one evening, while we were out at a shrine, she was attacked and killed by a werewolf! This could have been prevented, or at least considered a possibility if either one of us had known that lycanthropes existed, and it's not just werewolves; I know a werebear! Back to the point! After my sister died, I was approached by a normal-looking businessman and I thought he was a colleague of hers, so I talked to him, and before long I was admitting to wanting to have the ability to make sure this didn't happen to someone else, an ability to see things like this before they happen and prevent this kind of tragedy! As it turns out, this man was a daemon, but not like from a hellscape mentioned in various religions, no! Daemons are from a place called the Outlands, which is not on Earth, but is accessible from Earth through portals and other inter-dimensional travel methods! The daemon gave me exactly what I wanted in exchange for probably my soul or something, I don't know, but it took one of my eyes! Not like literally, because obviously it's still here, but it's blind! After that, these people came, from the Academy, and that's how I got here! This Academy is part of an intricate network of magic users and old bloodlines that are keeping their world separate from the rest of you; you who are affected by daemons and lycanthropes and magic and fey, there's fey too, and you interact with these creatures and concepts and don't even know it! Alright, that's the basic story here and what you will find on this website are accounts of my gift from this daemon: prophetic visions! Despite continued dismissal of my abilities as inaccurate and partial hallucinations, even from this magic community, I will tell you that they are true! Take everything as it is and prepare yourself for Nightfall, because even if you're not part of this secret world, it's here and the upcoming war will undoubtedly effect the world as a whole! PREPARE! FOR! NIGHTFALL!"


[The video abruptly cuts off. The rest of the website is how Toki described. Link after link to text files of typed vision notes, pictures of his records in various locations, as well as "proof" of Daybreak. Pictures of the campus and the grounds, scans of class schedules, candids of decidedly inhuman students and faculty, and some of Soleil.]

Pictures of what? [Where the school is? That's actually incriminating isn't it.]

Maybe... maybe if you promise not to do it again, they'll let you off easy.
partiallysquirrelblood: (One sec)

[personal profile] partiallysquirrelblood 2019-06-20 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That's an excellent point!

But in this case? You've kinda unintentionally done everything you o
possibly could to make sure that nobody will.

I mean the website! If certain people back home know I'm here, I'M AS GOOD AS DEAD. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. THEY WILL TRACK ME DOWN AND KILL ME.

Truthfully? Yes. A little. And even if you hadn't, as I said before, people can be cruel when they meet someone they don't understand. And still others refuse even to understand it.

And on the other side, I wouldn't be surprised if the need for secrecy keeps some of the more... ambitious mage clans out there from overstepping their bounds.

[He had only been at the school for barely a month, and there was already students now spying on him...great.]

The hell's all this for?

how about you turn down the ugly

Did you go see someone about the vision side effects?

[Because she worried and it doesn't feel like he got any of the help he needed if he's jumping into this. Wanting people to know the truth, she can understand. The Inkmetal Forge is as open as they're allowed to be. They don't like all the secrecy. But he sounds like he's losing it and that is her main concern.]

You can't post pictures of people without their permission... [He just assumes Toki didn't, because of course he wouldn't. It's the most mundane issue of all this, but that's easier to swallow than that Toki might be in severe trouble over this.]

Please stay safe.

It's going to cause chaos and panic. Panic hurts people. The things happening here are all the materials of ghost stories but not everyone who is an Outland creature is evil.

I'm not sure people will understand that.

Nightfall is less than two years away, we can't risk dividing all our forces by social unrest.

There was no room for debate when they started making attempts on my life.

[personal profile] bejustorbedead 2019-06-21 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Is that what you think we're doing? That we're forcing you?
You really believe you're a prisoner...
I'm sorry.


[And it ends, any further replies will be read but not replied to and as he said earlier, the more tech-savvy members are scrubbing the sight of photos and direct references to the academy]

[She wanted to say something to help, wanted to say something to actually get through. But there's only a few things she really can say.]

And now we're no longer safe where we are, you may think it's better to tell people but you haven't seen what people will do to those that are different.

And I hope that you stay far away from me as I'm not sure what I may do if I see you in person.
