This school boasts about forming a last bastion against Nightfall, but all I truly hear are tales of student-on-student violence and poor prevention measures for such incidents. I was brought here under the pretenses of 'channeling my talents more productively', but I can't help wondering if this isn't just a quarantine zone for those who are deemed potentially troublesome. Let them cause trouble for each other, rather than for those in power.

Not that I mind. I've never once considered using my talents 'productively'. That is just synonymous with 'for other people'. I hold no interest in becoming a tool for anyone.

[ Miach's been going to this school since the start of the semester, and she's spoken to exactly nobody since. She's just... around. A silent new presence on campus, always with a book in hand, never greeting anybody. If that's the kind of person you'd approach, you can find her anywhere, but most commonly in the library.

Note for faculty: Miach got transferred away from her last school for summoning a demon and getting students injured. Faculty would likely be informed of this ahead of time. ]

Yes.

[Oh....that's not the kind of response she gets normally]

but why?

[imitationsoul]

To show them the world that their society forcibly averts its eyes from.

[hattersgonnahat]

oh......but there is nice daemons you could have summoned instead.

[Maybe, maybe she didn't know??]

[imitationsoul]

Nice demons might have been nice enough to hide away from sight, to not disturb the balance. That wouldn't do.

[ Hm. ]

[hattersgonnahat]

i think just seeing any daemon would be enough to make people believe.

[So why go with one that might actually hurt then?]

[imitationsoul]

The problem is making people look. It's not as easy as one might think. Denial is comfortable. That's what society teaches and the majority is all too happy to believe it.

[hattersgonnahat]

they cant ignore somebody with horns and wings!

[You're making this way more complicated than it needs to be.]

[imitationsoul]

.... you don't really believe that.

We live in an era of effects make-up.
