[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.

[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.]

And on this specific topic in general, I've been pretty unhappy about the secrecy laws for a long time.
no subject
[Héctor won't even tell people he's dead, how much does he really want the world to know? It's hard to believe him right now.]
no subject
And some people seem to be listening now. The main thing is that we're talking without putting anyone in a position they don't want to be. We can look at all the options first and consider them.
no subject
i didn't mean for this to happen
i maybe should have left out the school
but that was the proof
[He didn't see another option to begin with.]
no subject
I think most of us just want you to do better next time.
Talk to us.
Until someone listens, keep looking, and try not to act until you've found some.
You know how to get in touch with me, for one.
As for the secrecy laws, if those are ever to go away, we have to organize people in a way that makes it safe. We have to convince people on our side that those of us who want to should be allowed to come forward without consequence. We need to make sure that those who would be in danger if they stepped forward aren't revealed in the process. A lot of different groups have a lot of different internal politics to mind as well that can make things tricky. Mages, hunters, fae, fell, weres, the different kinds of dead. Everyone's got different rules. It doesn't mean it's impossible, or I don't think so, but it means there's a lot to think and talk about first.
no subject
but i understand i guess
we should be able to decide who knows about what personally?
but the veil is wrong
on principle
and humans don't have to know individuals
just that there are others out there
if they kill me
will you keep trying for me?
[Yuya has pointed out that people have probably tried this in past, so what happened to them?]
no subject
You'll get perspectives and thoughts you didn't consider before.
Sometimes even people who disagree can help in that way too.
I agree.
I wish it wasn't necessary to hide.
[But most importantly here...]
No one's going to kill you.
Certainly not while you're here.
This school does protect people from that, even ones who've broken certain supernatural laws before.
Trust me.
[He's not going to outright say it (Yet.) but he hopes the implication is clear. To Toki. Just Toki.]
You're a living human child too, that's one of the least acceptable sorts of people for even the worst sorts to go after.
Not to mention that, like others have said, people aren't likely to believe this the way you've presented it so it will be easy for this to be swept under the rug.
You won't be killed for this.
If you were to do something like this outside the school you'd still be more likely to receive a talking to first.
no subject
i'll reach out to more people next time first
[He doesn't believe they won't kill him either, because from comments during the backlash, he's completely convinced their stance is humans don't matter at all, should be culled, and he's one of the worst of them. And now he's wondering if maybe that's what happened to Héctor. He tried this, and that's how he died.]
no subject
And you can talk about other things if you want or need to, by the way.
Not just this.
If you're ever feeling uncertain or worried at all.
Again, you know how to reach me.
[He can't really imagine what's going through the boy's head, but he's not about to find out unless Toki chooses to share it. He hopes that things can turn around.]
