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.

@Amber thank you for letting me know!
I love LOVE the new items...however...is the free shop done? it suddenly closed... :( just curious :)
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.

This is awesome, I was designing a fusion cyber/steam HA and then finished to see that the second wave had gone through, haha
I mean it for 1 April all is fun, but this is really too far m'dear. Come with me to tea with Georgiana.
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.
Oh noes Adriette fake is where it is at! You are better than this, darling, listen to Cassandra.
I'm so glad to see Adriette having a good time tbh. AND I LOVE ALL THE NEW STUFF I'M L I V I N G I just blew through 700-some Trinkets and I have never felt more alive 8'D
I haven't finished with the first wave... OMG... more dancing... more dancing... more dancing!
Burn those calories!!!

@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)

When I thought the March 2017 collection was the best news update I've seen in a while, there's this. :D
Thank you, Subeta staff!

WOOOOO! Loving the new items!
And you look lovely in your new duds, Adriette! I'm glad you made some new friends, and I very much hope we get to meet them next year. ;D

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.
Also, proud of you Adriette! Keep growing as a person and bridge that gap!
