Before you can open the door to the observatory, a big line of multicolored turnstiles magically materializes out of thin air to effectively block your path. You cannot go around the turnstiles and using magic on them will not have the slightest effect. If you want to enter this room, you need to pay a flat fee of 6 sickles to get in every time you wish to come in. You insert the money in the little hole on top off one of the turnstiles. The turnstile will then unlock and will allow you to pass through and get into the observatory.

OOC: The turnstiles will be seen by everyone regardless of year, house, or age. You must make at least one post in here before posting elsewhere in the observatory this term. If you don't, watch your back.

The turnstiles do not restrict access to Flamsteed's office areas, the tower patch, the planetarium or the astronomy lab.

AND PLEASE NOTE: You CANNOT go around, under, over, etc. the turnstiles. Not only are the little bars physically blocking your path, but they also as a whole act as an invisible force field barring you from the observatory until you pay. Please cooperate with this portion of the plot or your posts WILL be deleted.
