the year is 1899 and the heart of new york has never been so obsessed with the rest of the population. society is at its peak; mothers show their daughters in hopes of a marriage proposal, fathers dive head first into their businesses, and young adults and teenagers lead lives by night their parents couldn't possibly fathom. the hired help, it seems, have found a way to loosen the restrictions and live secret lives as well when their society families don't require their help. the word is being spread about the possibility of striking oil out west, while families from wealth are able to travel from england to new york for sport. in new york city, money is power and without a bank account to back your every decision, you'd be wise to relocate. those daring few choose to take their chances; either pretending like money flows easily, or otherwise surrounding themselves with the appropriate crew of salesmen, street whores, and common folk. some crave attention, and some would give anything to blend in. however, here in new york city, what really matters is what's on the inside. though in society it's prudent to always look one's best, and on the streets it doesn't matter how raggedy one might appear, the secrets kept are what's really valuable. welcome to new york city, where your secrets will be your currency and your choices will determine your destination. enjoy your stay.
