1. Fallout Shelter
this nondescript building doesn't look like anything special, but if you manage to find a way past the padlock on the front double doors, then you'll discover that what's hidden inside is the entrance to an underground fallout shelter. dozens of leaflets speaking to its safety are scattered throughout the room, and there exist just a few rickety chairs, busted tables, and hospital beds. hopefully you had the foresight to bring a flashlight, because the ivy that's crept in through the windows has blocked out all of the natural light. the door leading to the shelter, itself, is strongly reinforced and it's unfortunately next to impossible to force your way inside.
2. Church
the church stands as a silent sentinel in the ghost town; its once proud stone façade now crumbling. at one point it had been a beacon of hope and safety for those seeking refuge, but because the wood of the doors is cracked and splintered it offers nothing but a draft. the once beautiful stained glass windows have been desecrated, smeared in a viscous black sludge... several strange symbols scratched into the neighboring walls. the musty smell of age hangs in the air, with a thin layer of dust coating almost everything... undisturbed by the passage of time. overturned pews, bent collection plates, and torn bibles are scattered throughout this formerly holy sanctuary... almost like something had come in or gone out.
3. Graveyard
the graveyard is a vast and dreary expanse of crumbling grey headstones, withered tree branches, and a thick fog that blankets the entire area. the only sound for miles seems to be the distant cries of a murder of crows, possibly looking to scavenge a little something or someone from one of the many open graves. four weeping angel statues face the center mausoleum, which is chained shut, and should you approach an overwhelming sense of dread will shake you to your core… and is it a trick of the fog or did those statues get just a little bit closer?
4. Police Department
the shadowpeaks police station hasn’t seen action in what looks like years. the windows are all boarded up and the inside is a mess, with paint peeling off the walls and what little furniture is left overturned and in pieces. there’s a safe in the sheriff’s office, but cracking it isn’t going to be easy. there are also two interrogation rooms that have been trashed with filing cabinets and a scatter of papers, all talking about vicious animal attacks and missing persons. the cell block is toward the back and its musty smell permeates the rest of the station. an out of commission generator exists in the basement, but it’s dark, damp, and creepy down there… and the last guy that went to go check it out didn’t come back…
5. Greenhouse
sitting beside the police station is what was once a ruined old greenhouse, now restored to peakish condition. naturally, the glass structure's been fixed, with little embellishments of twining glass ivy now climbing the support beams, and what's more, power has been restored to the facility, allowing for perfect temperature and humidity condition tailored to the plants of each section: the northern quarter has a dry, warm climate for plants that thrive in semi-arid conditions; the eastern quarter is warm and wet for tropical flora; the southern quarter provides colder temperatures for hardy plants and root vegetables; the western quarter keeps a constant, pleasant mid-spring cool, perfect for any number of edible crop growth; finally, in the center of the greenhouse is a humble little section that divides into eight even slices, with beds of potted soil color-coded to every team. for those who already started trying to grow things here, they'll find their projects have been moved to their respective garden bed.
...but be careful! with the greenhouse restored, it seems there might actually be more than one man-eating plant in the midst of the rest—there's one in each section, actually, save for the center, hidden among the unorganized foliage, though they're somewhat different from each other, as though grown to adapt to their respective environments.
that's the other thing about the greenhouse: while there are dedicated sections to the various climates, the plants themselves are not neatly sectioned—instead they grow without boundaries, as though a little microcosm of a wild ecosystem rather than a man-made facsimile. at the very least, they aren't truly overgrown like before—there are clearly demarcated paths for people to walk through as they like, and there aren't any difficulties entering the building now—but it seems even at its prime, this greenhouse was loose with how its crops grew.
speaking of crops—while plants in the center sections grow fine, unfortunately characters will find that plants growing in other sections don't bear fruit, and cuttings don't take to soil outside their respective section. eating other parts of the plants are, at best, unpleasant—they taste bitter and unfulfilling, like they're still not ripe—or, at worst, poisonous. do be careful about those tubers!
new crops may be planted in each section and bear edible fruit, should characters acquire any from their winnings, and one might find they even grow slightly faster than they ordinarily should — a cacao tree could grow from seed to producing pods in five weeks ICly rather than five years, for example. the growth speeds seem to be variable though, and unreliable—moreover, it seems there's ??something?? eating the crops at times, too?? (in ooc terms: please do not abuse the greenhouse to circumvent the game's tone of scarcity!)
final caveat: there are some... unusual versions of some plants in the greenhouse scattered around—hybrid crossbreeding and other botanical experimentation seems to have been common in this greenhouse in the past, and while a lot of those peculiarities are harmless (???naturally occurring blue roses???), keep your guard up. there was that incident with the spores, after all... they had to come from somewhere, right?

⚡ 6. Shadowpeaks Bar
as the hot spot for locals to meet up and drink, relax, and socialize the shadowpeaks bar is unlike a lot of the neighboring buildings in that it's not only in good shape, but it's also got power. though the bar, itself, has been ransacked and raided of most of its liquor the restaurant is fine, its equipment clean and functional. there are also a few billiard tables and dart boards, all of which seem to have game started but never finished.
7. Library
it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that the largest building in shadowpeaks is the library. standing three stories tall it's packed wall to wall with all kinds of books in all sorts of condition. the unfortunate thing is that none of them are in any discernible order. not even the dewey decimal system can save you now, so good luck finding the thing you're looking for. there are plenty of reading nooks and comfortable couches; however, there's not enough light to make it easy or enjoyable, so you'll have to bring your own.
8. Train Station
the train station has definitely seen better days. the small building housing all of ticketing information is locked from the inside out, but it contains nothing but a bunch of cobwebs and outdated train schedules. graffiti smears the chipped tiled walls of the dark tunnel leading down into the station's eerie depths, where ticket and security booths can be found. an explosion of baggage having sent personal effects of all kinds around the blood ridden terminal. it looks like someone or something got horribly mangled in one of the turnstiles, making it that much harder to get onto the platform, proper, ...not that it matters, because the tunnel seems to have collapsed. you might as well head topside, because you won't be riding the shadowpeaks express anytime soon.
9. Recreation Center
the rec center is one of shadowpeaks’s larger buildings, and for all intents and purposes it’s in pretty good condition. the pool is relatively clean, though the occasional alligator will wander in from the swamp, so you’d be wise to look before you leap. there are also a few indoor game courts ( basketball, racquetball, & tennis ) along with an equipment closet that should theoretically house all of the necessary sports paraphernalia… if you can find the key to unlock it. a few weathered cots with some questionable bedding are stashed in one of the lounges and there are a few meeting rooms with swivel chairs. one of them even has a projector! …shame about the power though.
⚡ 10. Movie Theater
compared to some of the other buildings in shadowpeaks the movie theater is in relatively good shape. sure, the floor is sticky and there's popcorn scattered literally everywhere, but it could definitely be worse. the display is full of candy and sometimes, if you're lucky!, the soda machines will actually work. only two of the three theaters are accessible, so if you don't mind the ripped and stained seats, then you can kick back, relax, and enjoy the show! the selection is mostly horror, but if you dig through the mess of film reels in storage, then you may be able to find a couple action thrillers and romantic comedies.
11. Clinic
if you don't think you're going to be able to make the hike to the hospital, then you might be able to get away with treating yourself at the clinic. it looks like most of the tools of the trade are long gone, but there are plenty of bandages to be found. the shelves are also stocked with all sorts of... medicine, but what you ingest is going to end up being a gamble as all of the labels have faded away. is the promise of pain relief really worth it?
12. Slaughterhouse
the huge metal doors of the slaughterhouse are rusted shut, but there are enough broken windows that getting in shouldn't be a problem, at least as long as you're careful, but why? inside, the stench of blood lingers so strongly that you have to wonder if it's the result of a recent phenomenon or if the building's simply become inundated with the foul smelling and pungent odor of death at this point. it's likely the latter, as there's rotting debris and decaying carcasses scattered around the floor, hanging off the hooks, and stuffed into the machines. in the offshoot rooms the occasional knife or saw can be found among piles of bones sitting on bloodied tables, but that's totally normal for a place like this, right? nevermind the human like skulls.
13. Morgue
the morgue, like the school, is in danger of getting swallowed up by the swamp, and as a result it looks like something straight out of a horror movie. reception has been taken over by a worrying amount of strange plants that you should probably avoid touching just to be safe, and the desk and its former occupant are caked in so much moss that they're barely distinguishable. down the hall is the autopsy room, with the autopsy table sitting front and center. it's busted & rusted, and there's blood smeared on and around it. the moss is also back or, no, wait... that's mold, and it's everywhere, so keep moving. the only room that's in decent-ish condition is cold storage, the room where all of the lockers are kept. some are stuck fast, while others are open or can be opened... except that there's nobody in there now.
14. Sunken School
number one on the top ten creepiest places in town is... the shadowpeaks memorial primary school, or what's left of it. at some point the school's foundation became severely unstable, which lead it to sink partway into the swamp, and the wet, humid air combined with the swamp's rising muddy water have eroded away large chunks of the building. if you're crazy enough to wade through the murky mire, then you'll eventually find yourself in one of the dark, damp hallways. it's mostly submerged in grimy swamp water, with the few dry bits covered in ooey gooey mud and littered with text books, posters, and weathered desks. there IS a second floor, but a pine tree has fallen into the building and barred access to it. damn.
⚡ 15. Research Facility
surrounded on all sides by an eighteen foot tall electric fence is the facility – a nefarious looking building with no visible windows and doors. there also isn’t a road leading up to it, which should be a clear indicator that you’re not meant to approach, but if you want to try your hand at traversing the deep, alligator infested swamp, then good luck… you’re going to need it.
16. Farmhouse
the farmhouse is a large decrepit building with a shoddy barn and a busted chicken coop sitting in the middle of a corn field. there’s a thick wooden fence surrounding the entire property that was probably meant to keep the barnyard animals in, but enough time’s passed that they’re all long gone. there’s a broken down tractor and a rusted out truck in the front yard, and a pile of old farm equipment in the back. this place should really just be condemned.
⚡ 17. Hospital
*note* as of day 6 the hospital is overrun by zombies. ding... ding... ding... ding... ding... as you approach the hospital you'll find the source of the incessant beeping... a mangled stretcher stuck in between the automatic double doors leading into the reception. a cursory look around tells you that it's probably not safe here, because not only are there papers strewn about, but there's also a worrying amount of blood on the floor. you'd hope that a building of this magnitude could offer a wealth of options, but when it rains it pours. the stairs have collapsed, making it difficult to access the second floor and impossible to access the third floor. the sharp electrical snap coming from the sparking panel beside the elevator is a little concerning, as is the smoke coming from the mangled ambulance that's embedded in a wall. it seems like the generator in the basement may be in need of some repairs, because the power situation in the hospital is unstable at best... if the ominously flickering hall lights were anything to go by.
18. Prison / Asylum
the asylum and prison share this concrete brick of a building. it's surrounded on all sides by a tall, barbed wire fence, making it difficult to even get on the grounds. on top of that, there's only one door in or out, and whether you're coming or going you're going to be forced to pass through several security checkpoints. nobody's manning them, so it's really just a tiring waste of time. if, for some reason, you insist on making the journey, then inside you'll find the prison block, which consists of several dirty and/or bloodied cells. the mess hall is, in fact, a mess, and the officer's lounge has been completely ransacked. the padded cells are in the basement, and while there's probably more down there it's unfortunately pitch black.
⚡ 19. Foodland
the foodland logo used to read: food, family, & friends, but now all it says it "d am nd". from the outside it gives the impression that it's just your average run-of-the-mill market, but it's actually so much more. the main attraction is, of course, the aisles upon aisles of food, but there's really only a decent stock of non-perishable food, because, as you may have guessed, everything else has spoiled. there's some power in the store, but it flickers in and out constantly, which is probably why the frozen section looks and smells disgusting. at the back of the store are several racks of clothing and a few shelves of shoes, but, not only that, there are also a few hunting supplies. guns and bullets are scarse, but there are plenty of knives, bows, and multi-tools.

20. Lakehouse
nestled in the dense forest, the old lakehouse stands frozen in time. it proudly displays its victorian-style architecture, though the passage of time has left it battered and worn. the creaking floors and sagging ceilings tell tales of forgotten memories, while the peeling wallpaper reveals the essence of decay that permeates every corner. with every passing gust of wind the lakehouse seems to groan in agony, as if burdened with the weight of its own history. legend has it that the lakehouse was the scene of a tragic event, but unfortunately the details are hazy and lost to the annals of time. now, only whispers of the past float through the air, charging the atmosphere with an unsettling energy.
21. Bait & Tackle Shop
the bait & tackle shop reeks of fish and looks like it's about to collapse in on itself. among the fallen shelves you can find serviceable rods, nets, and buckets. there are a few row boats docked, but they're in a grievous state of disrepair, so if you are interested in taking them out on the water you're going to have to do something about all of those holes first.
*Updated@Day67*: Meg & Karen merch can now be found here.

22. Camp Shadowpeaks
camp shadowpeaks is nestled in the heart of the town and at the center of the lake, shrouded in fog and weathered by time. the perpetual haze creates an atmosphere of ambiguity, as if something sinister may be lurking just beyond the reach of your sight, BUT it’s still the perfect seasonal getaway for kids of all ages who not only love nature & the great outdoors, but also love adventure & fostering friendships.
the abundance of cobwebs in the mess hall might suggest it’s a little worse for wear, but it’s the main hub for meals for counselors & campers alike. the kitchen is stocked with various kid cuisines, and while it’s not the most nutritious meal it’s the only one you can reliably make, since the microwave is the last clean and functional appliance. a horde of supplies for various camp activities can be found strewn in the back of the mess hall. it's all in decent condition, since someone ( or something ) stashed it out of the elements. unfortunately the same can't be said about the jungle gym & climbing wall, which are unstable and rickety at best.
the camp cabins are, to put it simply, rotting empty husks. the wood is worn & splintered, the paint is peeling & faded, and the doors squeak & the floorboards creak. try not to linger for too long or you may begin to notice the disconcerting effects the flickering shadows have on the walls as they dance across them. is that just a trick of the light, or could it be something more sinister?

⚡ 24. Denny's
once a huge, majestic national diner chain and the perfect place to acquire hangover food, it has now been reduced to just a shadow of its former glory. old boards line the walls above the rusted cash registers, advertising denny’s infamous all-day breakfast menu along with a deal for a $5 five-stack pancakes, once generously described by a yelp reviewer as being “edible enough.” cobwebs stretch along rows of dine-in booths with fake leather seats that range in smell from questionable to extremely rank. the overhead lights flicker ominously while the speaker in the dining room continues to play “what’s new, pussy cat?” on repeat. the kitchen in the back has also become fairly rat-infested, and one may find a dried-up skeleton in the large, walk-in refrigerator still harboring his denny’s name tag and announcing to the world that “steve” once worked here.
if one wishes to order from their menu, you need only speak your order to the empty cash registers, and the food will appear in a dumbwaiter built into the wall nearby, fresh off the grill. who made it and where it came from is a mystery that may never be solved.

⚡ 25. Dave & Busters
if you are looking for a nice spot in town to relax, throw back a few beers, and win a few novelty prizes, look no further. dave & busters is the perfect place to be on a friday night as you ring in the weekend. the brightly colored interior and carpets all smell heavily of cigarette smoke and have not been changed since the 90s, but do not let that deter you from having a good time. the arcade itself is full of old classics, such as backalley brawler 2, cruisin’ shadowpeaks, and fatal combat. other amenities include an air hockey table with cockroaches nesting inside, a row of slot machines, a basketball-throwing game, and a crane game filled with plush toys that bear a striking resemblance to shadowpeaks’ present inhabitants. if you earn enough tickets, you can exchange them at the ticket counter for pogs, slap bracelets, a ball-and-jacks set, tamagotchis, and bucket monster trading cards, and should you manage to earn a whopping one billion arcade tickets, you can purchase the grand prize: A large Duster Sword, wielded by the famous video game hero, nimbus strike ( only one in stock ). if you get thirsty while playing games, you can also head over to the bar and use the flickering touch screens to place your order of your choice of two beers, banging banana ale ( as the name implies, it is beer infused with a lot of banana ) and foxlust lager ( a lager with a high alcohol content, guaranteed to leave you heavily inebriated in just a few sips ). the bottles will mysteriously appear in your hands within a few seconds of ordering.

26. Déjà Brew
in the corner of the town, a rustic tea house stands anew, its façade weathered yet inviting. inside, the decor brims with an untamed theme that mixes the influences of many different locations and settles with none. Checkered floor tiles, formica tables, and vintage tin signs, complemented by floral curtains and wallpaper blooming with roses and daisies, evoking a homely, bygone charm even in the hodgepodge of styles. the air carries the scent of various teas, blending with the subtle fragrance of dried lavender and jasmine used in some of their unique blends. the shelves are adorned with antique glass jars and wooden crates filled with teas infused with a variety of notes- some common teas like black and green teas one would be familiar with, and some with strange blends just waiting to be discovered, including medicinal and perhaps.. "stimulating" ones, ahem. what blend will you find among these rows and rows of tins and glass jars?
offering a sensory journey through forgotten times, this tea house, amidst its desolate surroundings, maintains a peculiarly inviting atmosphere, its floral accents adding a touch of life and color to the otherwise abandoned town. strangely, the candle lamps are always lit, and the tea is fresh and brewed, complete with a snack from the a la carte menu, like cucumber, watercress and egg sandwiches, rice paper rolls, or other "interesting" varieties, and biscuits or cookies to go with every blend you request. no two tea cup and pot sets are alike, and stewing time for each pot that appears will vary, so do pay attention when you get them! and do check out the gift boxes with candles and sample tins and cookies before you leave, they're free, too!

⚡ 27. Pixie's Pizzeria
if you find yourself with a hankering for fresh pizza, then pixie’s pizza is the place to be. this popular pizzeria chain boasts of a fashionable dine-in restaurant, complete with black and white checkered flooring, swanky “authentic” leather booths that smell like fermented piss, and low-hanging dome lamps that you will definitely hit your head on. for years, the sight of pixie and friends brought joy to young children everywhere, and crowds would line up outside just to see her rock out on stage with shows running at the start of every hour. nowadays, however, the animatronics remain eerily still and silent as they occupy the small stage overlooking the dining area. some say you can still occasionally hear bombastic music coming from the pizzeria in the evenings, but it could be echoes of a lost time. should you choose to explore a little further, you will find that though the pizza oven still works and pops out pizza orders, very little else does aside from a single button-operated arcade game called 'too many cooks', where you serve up slices of pizza to hungry customers by playing as either pixie the cat, bucky the deer, or shredder the shark. there's also a ball pit in the restaurant’s lobby if you want to play around while you wait for your pizza.
⚡ 28. Acedia Apts
if you're looking to get into shadowpeaks' newest apartment building, then you're going to find that you're SOL...unless you're an acedia. there's not a single door that leads into the building, which means you have to teleport to get inside. if you do, then you'll be dropped into the lobby, which doubles as your shared living room. it's a relatively large open space that's minimally furnished wish a couple of couches, chairs, and tables complete with highlights magazines and trashy tabloids. lucio's bed is also there, and it has knocked over one of your potted plants with its glorious arrival. who's lucio? who cares. lucioilu. there are also a couple of bone plushies sprinkled on top of it...weird. there's a modest kitchen set in the back with an attached dining area for all your cooking and dining needs. a set of stairs will bring you to the second floor and a hall that stretches on with doors on both sides –each bearing a unique symbol to denote its owner.
29. Sephora
tired of feeling drab and unkempt ever since your arrival at shadowpeaks? as if your prayers have been heard, the skies have parted, and a new church has arrived in the form of sephora, that popular makeup and skincare chain that all the hip tweens have raving about since the turn of the millennium. some of you may recognize that familiar black and white branding seducing you inwards along with the heavy scent of overpriced perfume in the air and the 90s to early 2000s generic pop music blaring through the speakers.
once inside, you will find sterile-looking black shelves upon shelves, well-stocked with a variety of powders, lipsticks, mascaras, eye shadows, blushes, and more. so much more. they have make-up bags, brush kits, nail clippers, curling wands. need some new nail polish? say no more! your hair looking like a rat’s nest? there are a variety of hair-care products all the way in the back. your skin suffering stress-related breakouts on account of living in shadowpeaks full-time? they have everything from k-beauty products to luxury brands. lucky for you there's not a cashier in sight, so everything is a free for all, and the products replenish themselves regularly. take as much as you need! some say if you spend enough time around the skincare products, you will hear the faded sounds of tweens screeching karen-style and demanding to see a manager because their favorite product is out of stock.
you may also notice a cardboard cut-out near the entrance of that famous blonde teen star from yesteryear, mona arizona, whose eyes seem to follow you no matter where you are in the store. her miniature display features her holding some fruit flavored lip gloss. half the tiny tube seems to consist of a warning, but since when has that every stopped you? effects of the gloss can be any of the following: moodring lip colors, compelled to tell only truths, desire to break out into song, induce a craving of some sort, and wanting to test the product out on the nearest person by inducing a “sephoric" mood that ends up making you want to lick, bite, or kiss a lot. some say the secret ingredient in them is alligator pheromones, so do be wary if wearing the lip gloss near the lake.
also be wary of the free samples of different sorts by the check-out counter, which can cause spontaneous hair growth, change in hair color, make you sparkle, cause feathers or flowers to sprout in your hair, make random parts of you glow in dark, or prompt cats-the-movie-the-musical like face paint to appear on your body.
*** all effects ( either from the lip gloss or the free samples ) last from ten minutes to an hour. ***

⚡ 30. Abandoned Building
a strange building that appeared when the fog drew back. it's full of tons of information about the people trapped in shadowpeaks and even contains storage units containing items of theirs :: here. this is also the frightscreamers territory, so be exceedingly careful.
⚡ 31. Bowl-o-Rama
the bowling alley is a formerly vibrant hub of casual fun and camaraderie. as you step inside, you’re met with a cold and dismal atmosphere that’s filled with the echoes of rolling balls, clattering pins, and delighted laughter. the dim lighting is accented by colorful neon lights that not only outline the lanes, but also frame the seats in your bowling hub. there are eight lanes in total, but the last one is cracked and splintered, with a bowling ball sitting among a nest of vines. however, all the others are perfectly serviceable. the cafeteria is in surprisingly good condition, with a menu that boasts a mouthwatering array of comfort foods from burgers and hotdogs with fries to pizza, nachos, and pretzels. a small arcade is tucked in the corner, and it features a half dozen brightly colored game machines… with the “star” being a candy filled crane machine. the bowling alley promises a good time for everyone, because it’s the place for people of all ages to unwind and enjoy each other’s company.
32. Songbird's Paradise
the building next to the greenhouse is completely overgrown by wild flowers, and while the overhead sign is shrouded in ivy there's a hand-painted sigh displaying the shop's name in elegant cursive - a songbird's paradise. the door is framed by window boxes overflowing with colorful clusters of milkweed and hearty bushels of hydrangeas, and inside it smells of freshly cut flowers. hanging plants cascade from the ceiling while soft, warm lighting casts a gentle glow over the space. its exposed brick walls are adorned with floral-themed artworks in chalk from artists of all ages & talents, making it incredibly charming.
delicate bouquets are artfully arranged in vintage glass vases on weathered wooden tables, showcasing an array of seasonal flowers: fragrant roses, cheerful sunflowers, and delicate lilies. in the corner, a chalkboard listing the day’s specials and highlighting unique, locally sourced plants. there's also a small seating area featuring mismatched chairs and a round table, encouraging customers to linger and enjoy a cup of floral ( or earthy ) herbal tea.

33. What the Fudge?
if this tiny pastry shop doesn’t lure you in with its cute pastel aesthetic, the scent of freshly-baked chocolate chips is sure to draw in anyone fortunate enough to pass by. there are small vintage french-styled dine-in tables with matching chairs and pastel upholstery if you wish to dine in and a stack of branded boxes and bags on the self-serve counter if you wish to pack your treats to go or gift them to a friend.
though there is no one behind the register or working in the small kitchen in the back, the glass display cases seem to always mysteriously replenish themselves with trays of goodies, including cupcakes, brownies, creme brûlée cups, cookies, profiteroles, macarons, choux pastries, donuts, and so much more. you can also find more savory treats like freshly baked baguettes, empanadas with a variety of fillings, and croquettes. the bakery’s main specialty is a siete leches cake, which boasts of seven different sinful types of milk in one cake. where did that milk all come from? the less you know, the better!

37. Fashion Junction
welcome to fashion junction, where trends meet and take a nap, wedged in a time warp between the late 70's and early 2000s. it's the place where you can find a totally decent work blouse next to a rack of suspiciously stiff dress pants that no one's sure who they are meant for with a bunny hat or cap in the head-wear section— but hey, they're 100% off.
the party section? a fever dream of neon tops, metallic skirts, fur-lined jackets and leather and at least three kinds of asymmetrical hemlines. there's an entire rack of jeans that range from dad-approved relaxed fit to unnecessarily bedazzled, and the shoes? a wild mix of practical sneakers, replaceable stilettos, slippers and winter boots that might hold up for exactly three snowstorms. don't worry if you lose them- you can always get another pair, or go to the mystery repair center that actually does great shoe and clothing repairs and modifications if you announce what you need fixed aloud. who's manning it? who knows. it just happens, or you can work on things yourself, but expect whispers of taunting and derision in valley girl speak about you doing your own mending and badly that you'll have to ignore.
but the real reason people show up? the underwear and pajama section is weirdly good. like, "where have these soft, actually supportive bras been all my life?" good and fur-lined gauzy nightwear or silk wraps. Want to look like you're on the set of gilded matrons sharing cheesecake over gossip? now you can.
and let's not forget the wall of graphic tees, where you can score an oversized shirt with a faded print of some tv show no one's talked about since who knows when, or a bizarrely off-brand cartoon that looks just familiar enough to avoid a lawsuit. right now, there's even a promo for shirts featuring somewhat unsettling animatronics that you might find eerily familiar from a nearby pizza place.
and in case all of this wasn't enough, there's an old-school photo booth and studio tucked in the back with props that people definitely use more for making out than actual photos. (or both. we don't judge.) if you're looking for an outfit that's almost trendy but not quite, or just want to relive the thrill of digging through a clearance rack for a hidden gem, or even get clothing and shoe repairs (again, surprise, they're good ones, with the occasional weird patches to "make things unique" when they do), this is where you're going to find it.
