[b][center][U] 2ND TIME ANNOUNCEMENT: THE SKIP TO DINNER WILL HAPPEN TONIGHT, SO BE READY![/u][/center][/b]

Just a final reminder for Players to aim to wrap up your interactions ASAP or at least be prepared to gloss over the events (if you're involved with a PC in a Collab or something, then feel to still post it but just put a title stating it's before the timeskip then make your entrance. :P) and make an intro post heading into the Dining Hall. This will be happening at end of the day ([u]my time zone[/u]), likely the only normal one you will have for a long, long while so make the most of it. Namely with attempting to force interactions (AKA fix situations/happenings to create one) for the future. 

After this night ends the next skip will be a few months time that will allow your PCs to know at least the basics of magic as official Novices. You'll be able to perform minor magic for brief moments, not continuously, and the efforts will be mostly minor damage. Don't worry that will change in time. Also anyone that's been accepted and not entered, you would've been in the group that arrived so I would prefer you to post your PC being in the College rather then walking right up to the gate late at night. :p It makes things so much easier. 

If you miss this, I'll be repeating this again. Once before the scene skip into Opening Feast then again when I move us to the winter months in the larger time skip.
