Wave 2!
'Allo! I am 'ere! I mean...here. I've been a little busy this past week. You see, we're very cut off from Lower Ziara up here, in our huge golden ballroom. I've felt very trapped up here on occasion. I’ve filled my boredom in unhealthy ways, with people who were not good for me. Not all of them! I’m not exactly a prude, here, and I know what I enjoy in my life. But a lot.
I was out walking, away from my home, and I met a new friend. An actual friend! Not a “brass petal” friend. They lent me a new outfit and took me to a special kind of party - a party in the very underbelly of Ziara. It was nothing like the Masquerade Ball! And the dancing was so… different. I have never felt so alive. I think there is a gap to be bridged between us, a gap that shouldn’t be so hard to close but seems to remain so. I wanted to help, and my friend suggested bringing some of their fashions and customs to the ball, to let the other ball goers get a sense of who they are below, just to begin with. We have to begin somewhere. So I present to you: fashions and drinks of Lower Ziara!
Oh, you’re wondering where my accent went? I’ve lived in Ziara for a long time now. It’s been largely gone for a while, but I think I held on to it on purpose as a sense of identity. It feels… fake, now. I don’t want to be fake any more. I want to dance.

I was hoping missing-Adriette was gonna be a plot. These clothes are AWESOME... and they have left me very intrigued about "Lower Ziara"... any chance we'll get to explore the underbelly further in the future?

How did you know I needed those nightrunner tights for an outfit I've been working on?! How. Did. You. Know?!

The 
and are GREAT.
And I love that her old accent fell off, because she's a lot easier to read/understand like this. maybe Merana could do the same, since she's more worldly now? haha.

I just realized that the Nightrunner Tights come in every color except orange... Too bad!

It's a bit odd to see all of this here, given that all of this is Cyberpunk and not Steampunk but... SCREW IT. This is a change that I can live with!

The simulife tops are so beautiful! I'm not a fan of the steampunk look so I'm super happy to see this new theme thank you!!

The description for this item is slightly depressing, but I do like the idea of there being Unliving in Lower Ziara! Space zombies :o

The clothing items and plushies are amazing, while I can't say I'm blown away with the drinks we got in wave 2.
They look a little lacking compared to the TRAPPIST line, really. Am a little sad

I love so many of the wearables!!! This is definitely more of my style... I've never been able to work out Steampunk or Victorian styles.

No. I liked the gorgeous, slutty, thick accented Adriette. >.>
We can have all types of characters on this site but you take away the good time girl?
I take offence.
Also, she looks awful in those clothes.

Seeing Adriette trying to be happier and have fun and make friends is so sweet. ❤ I love the new aesthetic too!

Also if today's Elwood day involves him becoming more "ravey" in order to try new business ventures in lower ziara i'm okay with that

Life is too short to reject new experiences.
And while I vastly prefer the victorian aesthetic, the rave has some really interesting designs that will mesh well.

Cool new stuff. Just wish the new items were separated somehow, like at the top or bottom. It's hard to find them just scrolling up and down.

@Amber Yeah, that would be great! :D And I'm imagining the gradient of reactions to rave fashion making it's way into the ballroom. Like having some of the regular ball-goers go along with the new fad because it's exotic and exiting, whilst still clearly looking down on the lower-ziaran culture. Maybe kinda like how french aristocrats sometimes romanticized peasant lifestyle. whilst still seeing themselves as superior. And some of the NPCs are absolutely down with lower-ziaran rights and culture and some just think it's silly and endangering the "traditions" of the nobility and let's not even mention what those new "friends" of Adriette might be like.
(also Jules in rave gear might be fun to see. He already has these mighty fine dreadlocks < 3)

Loving the new direction of this batch of items :) The first batch was awesome, but it's nice to have some fresh ideas on Masq stuff.

Dancing is always so much fun, it's nice to see her accept a new way to enjoy it, though I hope it doesn't cause too much conflict with herself.
I am in love with the rave items though. <3

oooo a rave-y vibe. I like it.
And Aridette, Lovely, I am all for being true to your self but where are your clothes darling O:
( <3 ty staff for all you do n.n I'm actually finding the undressed HAs running around the dance floor to be very amusing. It reminds me of good ol' Blakey and the Bhakoru plot.)

So that's how easy it is to bridge cultural gaps?
I was dearly hoping for a plot to lead in the change of aesthetics. XD
Really like the items though.
