Since your last turn:

• sherry stringfield^- said "*sits on the edge of the reception desk, crosses legs neatly* Students, comrades, friends and allies, it's time for MCM to make at least some pretence of being a place of learning. It's spring semester! High time for a lecture . . ." (23 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "At times like this, under siege and whatnot, it's easy to forget the priorities. Barricading, axeplay, rot revives and maintenance can get in the way of the really important things." (23 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "It's all very well planting a generator or healing the odd wound, but none of it counts for very much, as I'm sure I need remind no one here, unless you look good doing it." (22 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "Yes, it's time to talk about fashion. Or what passes for it in a zombie apocalypse. Life can be tough here for anyone who cares about their clothes. Don't anyone tell me they've had a hard time in Malton . . ." (21 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said ". . . until they've spent a day trying to find an unscuffed pair of Christian Louboutins in Caiger Mall." (20 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "No, Malton may not be Milan, but that's no reason to let ourselves go. The Settings button is your friend! For those of you who may be new and haven't noticed it, and those of you who are less new but don't pay enough attention to it . . ." (19 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "*gives several of the men in the room a pointed look*" (19 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said ". . . get into the habit of pressing it. You'll find other things there too. You can write your profile (never go non-descript: it's suspiciously self-effacing) and decide what you do and don't want to pick up when you search buildings." (18 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "But really it's all about the clothes." (18 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "They're the only settings that you can alter in almost any building you enter. If you're looking for a basic ensemble - shirts, skirts, dresses, coats and shoes of all colours - rifle through the wardrobes in the abandoned apartments in any tall build" (17 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "For something a bit more fabulous, you'll need a trip to the mall. I know they're good for all sorts of things - ammo, sports equipment you can hit people with, yadda yadda - but as any girl who was remotely popular in high school will tell you . . ." (16 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "(Stop sniggering Vilhelm, I was HAPPY then . . .)" (16 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said ". . . the mall is still the only place where you can find sunglasses (for wearing indoors, remember, never out) and a decent pair of stilettos." (16 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "Some items can only be found in specialised outlets: safety goggles in a NecroTech building or auto-repair shop, football shirts and stripy scarves in stadiums, balaclavas in police stations and 3-D glasses in selected cinemas." (16 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "But if you're looking to assemble that special outfit, you'll have to try a lot harder than a trip to the local boutiques - by which I suppose I mean tactical resource points . . . *stifles yawn*" (14 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "There some things that can be found not only in certain building types, but only in particular buildings." (14 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "The only hat store in Malton, for instance, can be found in the NE corner of Tompson Mall in Lockettside; I do think that some of the gentlemen in here might look dashing in a Stetson or a fedora." (14 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "And the Goth Store in Ackland Mall, Havercroft, is the only - thank God, the only - destination for purple string vests (ew . . .) , spiky leather collars (I see you, Saralan . . .), and for the emo-inclined among you, purple-lensed glasses." (12 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "Those looking to bling that look (I know some of you must be Desperately Seeking Madonna), might want to pick up some rosary beads and a crucifix in a church, and if you're looking to be a naughty nun, your wimple is in the cathedral vestries." (11 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "Real men can be measured for their tartan at the Kilt Store in Nichols Mall, Stanbury Village. Our Dean visibly weakens at the sight of a man in a skirt (put that décolleté away QBee, you'll make me ashamed of you . . .)" (11 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "And the Philosophe Knights would feel naked without Malton's puppet museums, where you can find Venetian masks as well as the Knights' preferred plain white." (10 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "Speaking of nakedness, the natural look is of course the way we all start out, in Malton as in life. It may be acceptable for those first few moments, and for the lovely T rex that visited us last week . . ." (9 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said ". . . but only the shameless *looks for golam* would go without pants." (9 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "'What about you?' I hear you scoff. 'Who are you to criticise, dressed in your pastels like a preppy wallflower?' I know. I'm thoroughly ashamed. But there's a reason. I've suffered a few violent deaths recently . . ." (7 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "and it's hell to get blood out of one's silks and cashmeres. Whenever you take a hit of any kind, you'll get progressively more dishevelled: first blood-flecked, then stained and finally soaked and tattered, your glasses smeared, your shoes scuffed." (6 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "Our Professor of Revificationology Mere Bystander wears her ragged and gore-drenched clothing as a badge of pride - work it Mere, work it! - but I'm somewhat too fastidious for my own good, and had to snatch whatever I could find in Coley Towers." (5 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "Hence my current prim little outfit. Notice, though, that because I bumped into Cade Bot and he retaliated by hitting me over the head with a fuel can, my pale-yellow Joseph pea-coat is now soaked in fuel. Anyone hits me with a flare, I'll be incandescent" (4 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "I'll be heading to the nearest mall as soon as all this frivolous zombie-action is over. But what I really long for is a trip to a mansion. That's where you'll find the really good stuff: bowties, waiscoats and tails for the men . . ." (3 minutes ago)
• Craddle^- said "Hee, hee, hee, custom medic runs FTW!" (2 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said ". . . fabulous ballgowns and necklaces for the ladies. If you're ever lucky enough to be invited to a party at a mansion, don't neglect to filch some jewels while you're there." (2 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "Emeralds and diamonds are for ever at Alner, gold and blood-red rubies at Curton, regal-chic silver and sapphires at Southall. Always accessorise! No excuses! Even the dead should wear at least a toe tag . . ." (2 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield^- said "*climbs down, straightens skirt, fans self* Now, darlings, any questions?" (1 minute ago)
