[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.]

[This isn't a reply to the network post. No, this is a loud shout from the room right next to Toki's.]

Toki, what the hell?!

You need to take that down. Now.

Rikugou. This cannot stay up for the safety of the academy and the students as well as any curious civilians.

Toki, clearly you feel strongly about this, so I'm not going to debate the decision. But you do realize nobody is actually going to take the site seriously, right? The design is terrible.

[Haha Yuya is calling Toki directly on his number, running out the door and as far to the edge of the campus as he can. This idiot, this stupid idiot.]

You're endangering yourself, on top of everyone else at campus!

Yourself, because of the faculty.

Everyone else, because you just said two things: a) Outland creatures kill people and b) where to find them. Since we have those as STUDENTS here.

How do you think that wouldn't lead to angry mobs, if this DOES reach people???

[Yuya didn't even get through the whole video because he know exactly what it was gonna be. And he's exactly as panic-sounding as Toki probably expects.]

Are you on campus?

Do not presume my intentions. You are going to cause panic this way if enough people believe it.

Or worse, some well-meaning people will try to track you down to get the 'medical help you so clearly need' and place you somewhere that has no means of handling your abilities.

I'm sorry, but this site will be going down.

[he's very glad that this is through text. It's easier this way. Easier to hide just how FRUSTRATING this is.]

Mr. Rikugou, may I ask what in the world this is about?
marmoron: marmoron (why is everything like this)

[personal profile] marmoron 2019-06-20 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
it looks like you made the whole thing while on a bad acid trip
onebetter: (defiant)

[personal profile] onebetter 2019-06-20 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm angry because this is stupid and ill-advised!

I care about the safety of people, that's all I've been working towards all my life, but this is... you have no idea what consequences it could have.
partiallysquirrelblood: (What the heck?)

[personal profile] partiallysquirrelblood 2019-06-20 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Toki, I do TA work for the web design classes. I'm sorry dude, but this would absolutely get an F.

Also there's already tons of sites like these on the net? Nobody takes them seriously.

She can't read French! [Also that would still implicate him by association, it's not well thought out at all.]

Do you even know what happens when you break the secrecy thing?!
