How to Develop a Personal Style [Tuesday]

[begmetwice.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes, there are things more important than fashion," Irene greeted them today. She was as put-together as ever -- perhaps even more so, as today she'd picked out a pair of Escada leather pants and a tall pair of leather boots to go with them.

The better to protect herself from whatever was out there, of course.

"Sometimes your safety is more important," Irene elaborated, looking...probably the most sincere and serious that she had the whole semester. "So. I would really like it if none of you went outside, or tried to deal with -- whatever this is," she said, her voice stern. "But I know most of you won't listen to that. So, we'll explore other options. If you insist on being a moron and risking your safety for more than, say, a jog from one's apartment to one's job -- speaking from experience -- then wear something protective. Practical shoes. Trousers you can move in."

"Or," Irene added, striding over to a storage closet, "one of these, or these, or best yet, these. Now...free period. Go back to the dorms, or go to the library if that's your sort of thing. But don't go outside unless you have to, please? I'd like to see you all back here next week."

And she'd be sprinting home in her (low-heeled!) boots just as soon as they were all out, yes. The better to be safe -- and the better to regret her lack of phone.

If she'd bought it, she'd be long gone by now, after all.

Try on hazmat suits and such [3/24]

Or split. You're welcome to do that, too.

Alana was going to just take off. She could say she was taking advantage of the free period, but the truth was she was getting pretty freaked out.

Cosette did give the hazmat suits a (dubious) look over, to be fair, but . . . no, she decided she'd better head for the library. She might not have any more luck today finding things than she had up until now, but at least she could be a good library aide and help reshelve everything.

Oo, nifty! Cecil put on the hazmat suit like a pro (well, like the licensed amateur with a scout badge he was). "The color's a little boring, but at least it's bright!"
