Last year's thread: Masquerade 2021 Suggestions

General themes for masq: -Steampunk -Rave culture -Cyber punk (think Blade runner/Ghost in the shell/Shadowrun) -The Rift -Fancy drinks and bitesize foods

Threads that are still relevant -Survival 2022 suggestions

• Items like the but with a more sci-fi robot asthetic xXxX -Heads like but robot heads -Glam rock wearables xX -Skirts like the but not broken -A wind up key sticking out of the avatar's back so it looks like a clockwork doll xX -Long waistcoats xX xX -No specific ideas but, more hats -airships and or spaceships you can layer over a backdrop to make it look like they are flying somewhere in the distance -As far as I know we have little lore about how people travel between subeta and atebus, Maybe something that explores that further. (transport tickets to a spaceport, a small model space elevator, Books on how interplanetary teleporters work)

I'd still love to see more versions of wearables and minions alike.

I'd LOVE for us to have an arm mod that holds a mask up to or slightly away from the face.

Arm Mods holding various drinks. Even holding one arm out asking for this dance.

Rave Lights/fog machines/laser lights!

Will post more if I can think of anything else.

Shoes please!!! (Because we didn't have any last year).

Limb changing items that look like different dance moves.

Eye masks that are pushed up onto the forehead (there's only one item like that that I can think of and it's a CS one).

I love the wind-up key idea because I have an OC that resembles one of those dolls and at the moment if I want to make a HA of her I have to be creative and use a back bow instead.

A synthesiser because we've only got an electric piano.

Speakers suitable for a nightclub.

ANYTHING NIGHTCLUBBY

• Like mentioned above: Rave lights etc. , speakers...
• More colors for
• Glow... anything!

City / Urban backgrounds (we have a million outdoorsy and nature backgrounds but not that many good urban ones)

Masks in a very simple, easy to use shape like in many, many colors. Especially colors that have recently been used in other Menagerie items.

The neons, the more muted colors. Light/dark/medium shades of basic colors.

Please?

Really love 's suggestion for Rave Lights/fog machines/laser lights and 's for the City / Urban backgrounds. Would love to see both day and night scenes.

Steamworks simple figures the Antlephore's antena, the Feli's wings, the gold piece around the Mahar's eyes, the Sheeta's horns, the Torrey's jet-pack, and the wires coming from the Terracoon's back

Loved the Vintage Inspired set last year and would love to see suits with hats this year. And some shoes to match. Microphones to go with these items Floor lamps shaded like they are lit up and glowing to go with these items Wires across like garland some more steam punk steamworks pet inspired and others more rave. The rave ones could glow and cast a slight shadow. We having flooring for our rave we need flooring for a more elegant ball.

In the survival thread candy store counters were requested. I would love to have counters and bars in the Lounge and shelves behind the bar. With as many delicious appetizers as we have in the Lounge a table to put them on would also be nice. I've never seen a minion in the Lounge before but it wouldn't surprise me to see a Blub sneak in.

Book Ideas -Tea time a guide to the proper way to make tea (it seems to fit here as well as anywhere else) -with all the zombie books we have about zombie care I think we need one for robots and robotic parts/accessories -clockwork parts and their maintenance -Wire management especially important for anyone with robotic parts -Steam tech -Deductive reasoning -a detectives journal -Serving your guests -How to entertain -The magnificent magnifying glass and all its uses

-plain hoods, possibly with seperate matching cloaks. like or without the fur -Wires, tubes and pipes to layer over a background. Possibly a intact version and a sparking/leaking version -Balcony railings for our avatars to stand in front of or behind -Layerable lamps: wall sconces, a shitty lightbulb dangling from a wire, some scifi lamp -Those claw rings (obviously the details are way too small tho) xX -Pavlova -Tiny shotglasses of soup -croquettes -Sparkling cider -libertine lounge food recipe books

• people for the HA to go with the ball with...something like the
• body mods for dancing - hands, legs, feet, etc.
• lace and beaded clothing and mask
• ballroom backgrounds
• garden backgrounds

Background crowds!

Like this:

But just the people in various styles - modern, steampunk, victorian, etc. And various style ballrooms to go with. And actually that particular item without the cutout.

More stand alone neck ruffles (still) please.

It would be wonderful to see some formal wear and cyber punk items with a saheric twist. I imagine ornate head wraps, jewel tones, layers with solids and patterns, kaftans. I'd also love to see more richly ornate turbans like [Item=Spilled Liquid Dreams] and A Ytiva take on the scene could also be really neat. And, some gemstone diadems like in different colors and shapes would be lovely.

My ideas: -background: glasshouse/greenhouse in victorian or futuristic design -background: ballroom but in neon colours

• more octopus/squid/jellyfish items in rave or neon colours I love the hood and cloak idea.^-^ I also want more urban and street background especially neon like this

I love s idea of Glasshouse/Greenhouse eg Even Forest Raves Theme like too

s I'd LOVE for us to have an arm mod that holds a mask up to or slightly away from the face. Yes please!

Would love to see more Jabots, Cravats statement neck pieces^^

and please please don't forget trousers!

How about some unique robotic arms/legs and other body parts to go with those fantastic rider helmets and sleek headsets. [item=ad for racer headset (right)] [item= ad for sleek headset (left)]

I would like to see recolours of these.

I'd also like to see more feather or fur items, mainly because of certain wearables I'm looking for at the moment. Like the moth toys from the Zombie Den, but smaller and not covering the neck.

I would LOVE more alien/space-themed items! Maybe a reference to the James Webb space telescope as well?

Not sure if it is to late for more suggestions but I was working on my HA for the event and I would really love to have more masks that only cover one side of the face like the Mask Pieces and maybe fit together like them too. Something I could mix 'n' match.

Also I have been trying to think of more textbooks that a detective would read. Topics they would want to learn to help them catch the criminals. And on that note now that we have a criminal career path maybe they need a few textbooks on how to not get caught.

~ Opened-up robot casings: having little "doors" open showing the insides of a robot, something like this but with steamworks inside

~ pieces of "cracked" skin showing the same steamwork insides, maybe microchips and modern technology? fnaf images are the best example my head can come up with lmao sorry

~ and I must second 's crowd background suggestions, we really lack them

~ additional robot/mecha limbs would be cool too, in dynamic poses like

i personally would adore cyberpunk 2077 inspired cybernetics (face implants, arm implants like mantis blades and much more), as well as wearable weapons and clothing <3
