[center][h1][b][u]Announcement![/u][/b][/h1][/center] Our scene change has begun! Your characters are all in the Sun Room, a large ceremonial room usually only open for special events! From here, your characters will be partnered with each other! To explain what happens during and after this ceremony, I’ll break it up into three pieces. 1. Your characters will approach the podium, and will hold out their hands to each other. The two Druids will take your character’s hands, say some fancy words, and a magical seal will appear on your right hands. If you’re curious, the seal will look something like this. [hider=Sacramentum Seal][img]http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjAwWDUwNg==/z/MV4AAOSwLVZVthPU/$_12.JPG[/img][/hider] The seal is normal and will be there as long as the [i]sacramentum[/i] is in place. It will not hurt getting it, though you may feel a slight tingling as you get it. The seal is red in color, and very faint when the mage is not using magic. Once they begin using magic, however, the seal will glow and continue to do so until mana has stopped being channeled. 2. After your characters have made the bond, a volunteer (maybe two, if you have a lot of luggage) will show you and your partner to your dorms. The volunteers are seniors at the academy, so if you want to write in a little NPC chatter with them, feel free. Once you get to your dorms, you can unpack. Errorist, being the lovely bat-frog-fish thing they are, drew the layout of the dorms here.

Before the volunteers depart, they will give you paperwork to fill out your desired electives classes. If your character wants to take the Monster Hunting class, now is the time for them to convince their partner to take it too. After filling out this paperwork, you can return it to the volunteers, who will disappear back to their NPC duties. You may then spend time in your room, socialize with your partner, or meander around the school grounds. You may not return to the Sun Room or enter the classrooms, but you are allowed to go to the dining hall, the gardens, the library, the courtyard, the various school grounds, and down into town, where the ropes will have been removed and life resuming as usual. In addition, to prevent over crowding of the podium and everyone rushing up at once, we’re gonna stage things in 3 groups. The first group gets to go up to the podium and do their ritual first, before moving on the their dorms. Once everyone from that first group has a chance to post, we’ll do the second group, then the third. This way, players who have been stuck so far have a chance to build up their points, and players who have notified us of their absences have a little more time before they return. The groups are: [b][u]Group 1[/u][/b] Nancy Jones / Nathaniel Zane Elswood [@MechonRaptor] [@onenote] Felicity Goldberg / Korrigan Umbraisis [@Raijinslayer] [@ me lol] Monty Goldberg / Regis Dimitrios [@Discontent] [@The Errorist] Janine Alyra / Henri Amberhall [@General Scales] [@Avanhelsing] [b][u]Group 2[/u][/b] Ruby Doer / Loke Blackhardt [@onenote] [@HeartlessNobody] Beatrice Quincy / Kyra Valentina [@The Errorist] [@Sorrelmyst] Talia Nitro / Leo John de Couer [@Redmarshmellow] [@TheHangedMan] Liliac de Blanc / Marth Carter [@pkken] [@Hammerman] [b][u]Group 3[/u][/b] Richard J. Bateman / Anelise D/Nell [@SunsetRoses] [@ me again lol] Clyde Lee / Robert Allen [@Klaykid] [@Natsu] Ngiwan Ziajk Liep, Vyvyan Imperial / ???? [@Republic] Again, please allow everyone in the first group to post first before we move on to group 2, and then group 3. Once everyone in group 3 have had their [i]sacramentum[/i] made, we’ll begin another countdown to the next scene change, where you will have your first day of class. Speaking of classes, Errorist has also drawn up student schedules for you!

As for electives, you can pick those and stick them in the Misc. section of your character sheet, if you’re interested in keeping track of them! Both the class schedule and the dorm layout will be added to the first OOC page, so you can check them at any time! With that said, have fun making your partners! If you want to do a collab with your partner to post, we will give you both points for your work done! Remember to keep track of those points, you’re gonna need them in time!
