thaumatrope[They don't know why they turn to the network for this. But there's many people in Daybreak so maybe they can give Adriel the right answer.]
I read in a book that if someone's hurt and trapped, you should let them go.
Is that the right answer? Letting them go?
[Something boils in them for phrasing this as something Adriel simply read in a book. And they themself don't know why they're lying. But it's the only way.]

How would you feel? what are you meant to feel?
[ Vivi is not even remotely tech-savvy enough to know how to conceal his identity, so this is a great look into his mental state right now.
Which is to say: not good. ]

imitationsoul[ Despite who you might expect from the username, the video opens with Flat’s voice. ]
Good evening, staff and students of Daybreak! Wait—that’s kinda wordy, isn’t it? Hey, wait, [ there’s a pause as Flat walks up to the camera. ] Oh. This thing’s on, Miach. Well, that’s fine!
[ he walks back to where he originally was, and some seers and staff may recognize the area—it’s the Cassandra. ]
Well, live from the Command Room of the Cassandra, we wanted to give you a message! Or, well, Miach wanted to. I told her that maybe we shouldn’t say anything and that we should be like secret spies but what she wants to say is pretty cool. Moved my heart and everything!
[ and, with a dramatic gesture and a grin as bright as the sun itself, Flat turns towards Miach. ]
And now—! Miach Mihie!
[ With that said, he turns back to whatever is doing, allowing Miach to take the reigns in the message—this was her idea, after all. He was just there to support her...and to break into the system.
Miach does not match Flat’s casual enthusiasm. She is clearly trying to project some gravity in her body language and when she speaks, her voice is very even and persuasive. ]
Have you ever thought about what freedom means to you? In a world where we are bound by obligations and we owe ourselves to the creatures we coexist with, a full freedom is impossible to achieve. Yet we put freedom on a pedestal. It is the goal society claims to strive towards, a freedom for all.
Freedom is the ability to look within your mind and act solely on your own thoughts. It is being one with your mind before you are one with others. Freedom is, in its essence, self.
This self is being threatened. It is being taken from us and then sold back to us repurposed and repackaged.
They want us to think that Cassandra is nothing but a tool that streamlines the inherent abilities of all our Seers. They want us to believe that forcing every single Seer to open their mind to the administration on a monthly basis, under threat of violence, is simply a way to make things easier.
It’s not. A vision is something intimate. It is a part of the person who has it. To extract this, to outsource its interpretation, is to outsource a part of your self, your freedom, your autonomy.
Cassandra looms over us. We march by her tunes. She is the tool of expression the powers that be have chosen - and she lies. Cassandra, she who is cursed to never be believed when she speaks the truth of her prophecies. What an ironic namesake. Our Cassandra is believed without question, followed and obeyed. And all of you are letting it happen.
Today, we’re putting a stop to this.
We’re asking you to consider once and for all: who are you? What is your self? Without selling yourself to the administration, what is it that you can and want to do about Nightfall?
[ She smiles, sweet and gentle and sticky like a spider’s web. Flat glances back from where he seems to be quickly typing into one of the computers, and smiles fondly—not at the camera, but at Miach. ]
I’m looking forward to your answers. Bury your prophets.
[ Depending on where in the academy you are, you might hear the security system go off. It seems these two are entirely serious. ]
((ooc: replies to this post will come from both Miach and Flat, until they're physically chased out of the server room. the log to do the chasing will be up in the log community shortly!!))

It's dreamy nice to meet you! I'm Yui Yumekawa and I just arrived here from Japan.
I'm making dreamy cute yumeprika rice balls right now, so come over to Lumière room 303 if you want some!
Wait, do these dorms also have rules against eating in your room?

Oh no, we might end up having a forbidden rice friendship... But what if we're found out one day because I leave a rice grain trail and we'll be separated forever... Ahh, I'll never forget about all the rice balls we shared!!
The rice is cooked. [A robotic voice comes from the blue rice cooker and Yui comes back to reality.]
Here we go! See you dreamy soon~
[The feed ends. If you enter Lumière's third floor you'll be greeted by the smell of rice and anyone who comes into Yui's room will be greeted by a mountain of rice balls.]

Starting up a club~ UN: FINALBOSSY
Mar. 11th, 2020 12:32 amdescolationDesco has a big announcement for everyone! Over the next few days, she will be filing the paperwork to start up a brand new club! While training and studying are important, Desco also knows the value of fun! So the club she will be starting is a gaming club! Mostly for video games, but also for things like card games and board games! But before she does all that paperwork, she would like to know if anyone would be interested in joining or advising for the club. It would be very helpful to know this before the paperwork gets started.

So this is the infamous Daybreak Academy...gotta say, the area's changed a lot since the last time I was here.
Well, since it's been a while since I've been around in the human world, and I'm not expecting everyone to be a movie buff, I guess I oughta introduce myself. My name's Alastor, I'm the new RA for the first floor of the Aube dormitory and resident sword daemon. I can't exactly promise I know everything, of course, but feel free to give me a ring if you need advice on something.
If you're just looking for autographs, though, I'm afraid you'll need an appointment. Can't let my movie star popularity interfere with my academic life, after all.

Sep. 18th, 2019 10:30 pmprince_typeHello, hello, Daybreak!
I suppose my timing is pretty good, huh? But I wanted to know what people here do for fun! Price isn't really something that matters to me, so any suggestions are good suggestions. I'm not much on fights or anything, but anything else is on the table. And I, ah, am too young for any sort of drinking either...
Anyway! I also wanted to know where everyone is from? It's interesting to see the different nationalities in a place like this and, admittedly, learning more about those from places I've never been. Personally, I'm originally from France, not too far out from here, but the last two years were spent in Japan. I wonder if the commoner stuff in other countries is the same or different...
Which, I guess, would lead me to also introducing myself? It'd be rude not to even through texts???
I'm Tamaki Suou and I'm going to be part of the tenth grade class once classes start up again. Contemplating on bringing something from my former school here, but that depends on if it's necessary or not! We'll see! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*✲ﾟ*｡⋆

Jun. 3rd, 2019 08:54 ameyes_are_uphereLet's have a little chat, somewhere that's a little safer for you to say what you want to. Since I know some of you are never going to remotely do anything face-to-face, I've come to terms with that. I can't blame anyone for not wanting to, either.
With the nature of this place, it's understandable that there's some underlying fear of what's to come of the future. Whether it's going to happen before you're ready, that you might lose someone or something important to you due to it.
Unfortunately, at the end of the day, we can't really know the future. We can get bits and pieces of it, we can speculate based on that evidence, but we can't know everything that's going to happen. There's always some form of loss when it comes to a fight on the scale that will eventually be here, and I'll say that even in the darkest of times there's always a shred of light.
I can say that from experience. While this would be on a much larger scale than my own, wars of all sorts have been fought on this planet, whether or not you're aware of them. The shinobi mages were no different from the rest of the world, if I remember correctly, we'd been through three major wars between our different villages, or clans. Many of us lost those close to us, many lost their own lives, for what was perceived as the greater good.
God, I'm rambling. My point is that of the things to be worrying about, don't let it be the inevitable, it will only hold you back and put you in a rut. Perhaps when the time comes, you'll grow even stronger through your struggles.

A couple of pictures are posted to the network and all of them taking place somewhere within one of the many shops in Centre Trois. The first few are of one Ekkehardt Gehring, although he looks rather normal due to the school-teacher glamour he is using. Evidently he's out shopping and is with someone, considering how close the pictures have been taken. What he is trying on...
It's....well, it's something. He doesn't look particularly thrilled by it so it's clearly not the man's idea. The next photo posted is a selfie that features Grimm with one arm swung over Ekkehardt's shoulders, so it gives away exactly who the mage with.
It could stop here but all is fair in love and terrible fashion decisions, and Grimm is not so cruel to post these pictures and run. So a couple more appear a minute later. These ones feature Grimm in a particularly hideous outfit and he will not apologize for how offensive it is to the eyes. Yes, he did wind up buying it.
All that written under the pictures is a simple ":D".
