	I have made the mistake of giving a LOT of time for things in the background to amass which needs to be resolved. Bit off more than i could chew, so to speak. As of now, there are a few things which deserve more direct attention before we move along to the event. AND SO, this update and subsequent posts in this cycle will be dealing with those things, at the end of which will be the introduction to the event for all parties attending. Please let me know what your characters are getting up to if not in attendance for the tasting of the (totally not cursed) late harvest icewine. 

	The more astute of you will notice that the headers, ambience, time, and weather are identical. This is on purpose, as we are covering stuff that needed extra attention over the skip. If we could, let's try to finish up the time skip stuff in this post and wind up back in the appropriate time/setting at the end of our individual texts. 

	The stuff that could be answered in Discord has been, and we should be good moving forward between that and the IC stuff. BUT, i am the mistake-making type on occasion, so if I missed something, we can handle it OOC. For now, do process all of the awful stuff provided, and if your characters were not present for whatever moments were mentioned in the update, do get with the other characters in the IC to give a quick explanation. Thank you, and have a spiffy posting cycle.
