It's not even that racy, but you can't imagine the professor would approve. Thezh has a low opinion of human anatomy in general, clothed or not.

> x posters (@ Your Dorm Room)
There are four: a movie poster, a computer game poster, a Vegas poster, and amusement park poster.
> x movie poster (@ Your Dorm Room)
This is the advertising poster for a movie in which a man is transported into a computer and forced to win several games in order to escape. The poster features the man standing in the center, wearing a neon-lit suit and raising his arms to catch a laser disk.
> x game poster (@ Your Dorm Room)
This poster is the cover art for an old computer game. It features white letters in the form of a crumbling brick wall. In the wall of letters is an open door, inviting you in. The tag line for the game is "Your greatest challenge lies ahead - and downwards."
> x Vegas poster (@ Your Dorm Room)
The poster features the famous Las Vegas Strip, complete with hotels and casinos.
> x park poster (@ Your Dorm Room)
This poster displays a picture of a roller coaster. The people in the cars are screaming as they travel upside-down in a loop.
Birmingham IV (2018)
> x poster (@ The Phil's Bedroom)
The Phil straightens the poster and muses for a moment. It wasn't a good year. Still, Caffi is bound to come through this time.
Cacophony (2009)
> x poster (@ Bedroom)
It depicts a rock singer of bygone years.
Campus Invaders (2022)
> x poster (@ Corridor of the lower floor)

The Chinese Room (2007)
> x poster (@ The Chinese Room)
> x posters (@ Research Institute)
One hopes the rules aren't treated with as much disregard as the posters.
> x posters (@ Bat Lab)
They're mostly diagrams of bat physiognomy, adverts for conventions on bat psychology, and film adverts for old vampire movies.
Citizen of Nowhere (2019)
> x poster (@ The Bar (Inside The Mash Tun Tavern))
A framed poster advertising cider. it reads ' Dickin's Cider, for a full body with a frothy head.'
Class Challenge (2019)
> x posters (@ Corridor)
In fact, you should probably take these down. They do not show upcoming events happening at the school, but the same thing: the Adventurer's Lounge on ifMUD in all its candlelit glory. Somewhere in the middle of all the posters, some very small handwriting reads: "Visit ifMUD! ifMUD can be found at ifmud.port4000.com and is populated by various IF community members. It is a Multi-User Dungeon, which is basically an online text-based game. This particular one is home to many people who write the sort of games that you are playing right now." You do spy one poster that announces the start of term in September.
Clusterflux (2019)
> x posters (@ Spacious Living Room)
There's a variety of posters amidst the wall art in this room. Your eye lands on a poster
Cragne Manor (2018)
> x gig poster (@ Club Backstage)
Printed on the gig poster in hectic green and black writing that you can barely read is:
Coming up at The Carfax!
Blindly In The Mist
Gravespittal
Bread Loaf Mountaineers
Pyramidial Tension
Xavier feat. The Cosmos
Francine C
Each of these bands' logos fights for space on the poster in a cacophony of typefaces.
> x wanted woman poster (@ Club Backstage)
The grainy, xeroxed black and white poster says "WANTED: FRANCINE C". A big-mouthed woman in a ratty dress scowls into the camera, her hair feral, her attitude rock star. Francine Cragne.
> x wanted man poster (@ Club Backstage)
This crumpled xerox is an FBI wanted poster for the serial killer Ted Bundy. He went to the chair years ago, as you recall.
Crocodracula: The Beginning (2020)
> x posters (@ Sheriff's Station)
You look across the posters: There's a mugshot of a handsome gentleman with a creepy smile, a boy wanted for "questioning" who looks to be about your age, and a long-haired man with crazy eyes.
Curses (1993)
> x poster (@ Shadowy Hallway)
"Bateaux Phlebas - toujours le dernier mot". You briefly wish you had a dog called Toto, so as to be able to say "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in England any more."
Death Waif (2000)
> x poster (@ Hogan's Tea Bar)
It's a photo of Hogan, the bar's original owner, holding up a giant and obviously fake plastic hammer and grinning maniacally. Beneath it, printed in bright red ink, typeset in a military-style font with the letters jutting out at weird angles from each other, the caption blares out:
HO-GAN WITH THE GRO-GAN!!!
You never figured out what that saying meant, but it's been the bar's catch phrase for years, and you never questioned it.
> x poster (@ Jarts lawn)
It's an image of Captain Fuddler. The Captain is smiling in this image, but the regular customers have not been kind: the poster is riddled with holes.
Dinner Bell (2012)
> x poster (@ Test Chamber)
This is a diagram of a human arm with its component parts segmented and labeled. It reminds you of those meat-cutting charts you used to see at the butcher's. Bold text at the bottom reads "I BET YOU TASTE DELICIOUS TODAY!"
Happy Ever After (2000)
> x poster (@ Hall of Alchemy)
Odd. Very odd.
Impossible Stairs (2022)
> x poster (@ Family Room)
Grandma is a big Perry Mason fan now, so she paid for this autographed poster of Raymond Burr a few years back.
Mrs. Pepper's Nasty Secret (2008)
> x posters (@ On the Sidewalk by the Front Yard)
Many are faded, many are torn, and many are both. The ones that remain legible advertise everything from last year’s flower show to the merits of the Independent Candidate in some long-forgotten election. [if flyer untaken, add:] Amongst this mass of posters well past their read-by date is an advertising flyer that looks crisp and new.
Murder at the Aero Club (2004)
> x posters (@ Office)
There are two posters on the wall - a fuel poster and a fire safety poster.
> x fuel poster (@ Office)
A large poster, with the bold heading "FUEL CONTAMINATION IS -YOUR- CONCERN!" An image of a crashed aircraft dominates much of the poster, while beneath it is the text: "Always check your fuel for contamination before flying! Fuel appropriate for use in light aircraft should be coloured pale blue."
> x fire poster (@ Office)
The poster displays information about safety around the clubhouse in the event of a fire. Small writing near the bottom of the poster reads: "Your local Fire Safety Officer is .....". The name "Brad" has been filled in by hand on the dotted line.
Nowheresville (2022)
> x posters (@ Doctor's Office)
The usual stuff. "Eating fresh fruit keeps away scurvy"; "Be sure to get your smallpox vaccination"; "Watch out for signs of ricin poisoning".
One Night Stand (2014)
> x poster (@ A balcony)
Some boy band you don't want to know about.
Opening Night (2008)
> x posters (@ 14th Street West)
They seem to be playbills for "Twisty Little Passages", starring Miranda Lily, dated 1917. Her image captivates you once more for a moment, and reminds you that you need to be getting inside the theatre.
Perdition's Flames (1993)
> x poster (@ Burger Lord)
The poster has a picture of a hamburger, fries, soda, and a white ivory carving of a rowboat. "Buy a RaptureMeal, and get this amulet of protection against nausea FREE!"
The Song of the Mockingbird (2021)
> x poster (@ Inside the Bunkhouse)
In between two stacks of "Nobel's Safety Powder", you see a colorful advertising poster for Rosa's act. Rosa is shown in a dancer's leap against a brilliantly painted sunset, rose clenched between her teeth. In one corner of the poster, large script urges you to "SEE THE ENTICING ROSA AND HER AMAZING SWORD-DANCE."
But what catches your attention is the way she's dressed. She's wearing tight black leather from head to toe. On her head is a flat, wide-brimmed black hat. On her feet are shiny black boots with high chunky heels for stomping. Silhouetted against the painted sun, she is brandishing a long sword.
A bolt of lightning goes off in your head. You've seen Rosa like this before, riding away from the stage robbery with a crowd of men behind her.
Rosa is the Black Blade!
