So clear something up for me, and sorry if it's been said a thousand times. But there's the masquerade and a separate 1800's themed event, or is it all one?
@WileyCoyote There are three events. Afternoon tea- normal dress. The Masquerade Ball is a 1890s evening dress with a mask. The Walk in the Park is also a 1890s Day wear event.
I am posting this on the 2nd posting of this thread ( OOC ). I will add any other E-Mails and such items there.

The catalog will have all that you will be able to buy. I have yet to set the prices but will soon do so then post the prices here. There are two places on the map marked with a ‘D’. These are for the male demons. One will be a tavern and I need suggestions for the second one. I will also be posting a section for maps soon.

In a large scope, we've only got about like 5-6 actual players with semi-active activity, but none of the characters so far have been what I've expected them to be. Maybe because I'm rusty and fond of older days, or maybe because I'm a gauging too highly now, but for quite a lot of reasons I'd rather not divulge to the public, I'm going to have to stop.
To put this frankly, I'm going to have to drop this. Sorry in advance if this inconveniences you guys, but I'm running out of drive.
I hate to see you go but I do understand what you mean about how things and people have changed in the RP world. I started in 2005 and a lot has changed. Take care.........
