Log:

It's here! It's here! Clair's first-ever (and, Lance hopes, last-ever) Pokemon Prom is here, coming to you straight from scenic Tohjo Falls! You've packed your bags, you've hitched your rides, and now you're taking your first steps in to a super swank palatial PokeManor where, prior to now, only the pseudo-legendary best of the best had ever tread. Gosh, that must make you pretty special, huh? (Well, you and everyone else in the massive crowd that arrived along with you, that is.) Of course, you're all destined for greatness. But at the moment, your more immediate destiny is forty-eight hours of fun.

So get going!

☆ YOU ARE HERE ☆




KEY:

• BLUE areas are where the bulk of the party's events will be located! As you can see, the festivities will be taking place largely outdoors, and the grounds will reflect that; there'll be the usual decorations of pretty floral arrangements, little lights, things like that. Think garden party!
• GREEN areas are where guests will be staying overnight! Unfortunately, you'll be sleeping-bagging it up, since this is a house party and not a hotel party, but this is where you'll be given space to leave your possessions, claim some sleeping room, and generally crash for the night once the festivities do you in. (Note: you're welcome to try to sleep elsewhere, but Clair might catch you and disapprove. You don't want that, do you?)
• RED areas are unfortunately off-limits to guests! If asked about them, anyone will tell you that those are the rooms and areas that the Elite Four have claimed for themselves, and they're sealed off tight. Please don't try to break into them anyway; you'll only be caught and punished.

• AREA A is the designated Indoor Ballroom area, for the people who would prefer to class it up a little more than just your standard garden party. There's a big skylight, hardwood floors, tasteful artwork, and classy music — a little more upscale than the shenanigans going on outside, for the people who'd rather that kind of thing.
• AREA B will be the area of interest for anyone hoping to sneak a little Pokemon research on the side: this is the Library/Gallery area of the house. While most of it is your standard "tall shelves of ancient identical books" fare, there are a few points of interest — a sculpture of Lugia, a painting of the Ecruteak City skyline before the Brass Tower burned down, some stone etchings of what might be Fossil Pokemon, and so on. Guests are welcome to look around a little, but burying themselves in research the whole time will be highly frowned upon, and you'll be politely encouraged to leave the library alone and go rejoin the festivities if you hole up in there for too long.
• AREA C is...well, the Parking Lot. More importantly, it's where you take your Pokemon battles if you simply gotta get your battle on; keep it out and away from the house, please, and try not to make too much of a mess. Skirmishes, sorties, and sparring will be tolerated here and here alone. Do it anywhere else and you'll be facing some very displeased hosts.
• AREA D is the Elite Four's Trophy Room. Please be quiet and respectful if you come up here to have a look around; it's a solemn kind of place. Here you'll find various collections of badges, ribbons, awards, and trophies put on display, with one wall devoted to each member of the Elite Four. Of particular note is a glass case with a broken Ultra Ball mounted inside; the brass plaque attached claims it's the ball Lorelei was using when she almost caught Articuno. On a lighter note, there are also pictures of the Elite Four themselves — your standard Official Portraits™, sure, but also some framed candids of them in various configurations hanging out with their Pokemon and engaged in various activities around the house (Agatha making waffles, Lance and Bruno clowning around in the pool, stuff like that).

[saxsongs]

[Ren was enjoying the party while dressing up rather casually. It had been a while since he's had a chance to have this much fun, so he was planning on using this chance wholeheartedly.

Of course, that meant dancing with the ladies as well. One could easily think that his plan was to dance with all the girls in the room -- but it just was the one's he's talked with (mostly).

So... May he have this dance, princess?]


[ooc: Feel free to assume he asked your girl to dance if they've spoken to each other! Or just ask him yourself.]

[colorsofthewind]

[ Talim's Scyther may have had a hand (blade?) in picking out Talim's dress, if the color was any indication. Her hair is also loose instead of in its usual braids or pigtails.

When she spots Ren across the room, she quickly makes her way over to him, a wide smile on her face ]

It's good to see you're doing all right.

[saxsongs]

[Seeing Talim approach made Ren smile. This party really was a good place to meet people you liked.]

It's been a while, Talim. I'm glad you came here as well.

[colorsofthewind]

It was a hard invitation to pass up. Besides, I sort of enjoy the opportunity to dress up like this.

[saxsongs]

It's a good chance to have fun.

[He at least, needed this chance after weeks of unfortunate events. But enough of that, instead--]

You look beautiful.

[icansolvethemtoo]

[Flora was torn between giggling and shyly watching her step in the midst of her dance with Ren. She hadn't danced with a boy before, not really, so getting a slow dance while in the arms of a glamorous young man like Ren just has her swooning.]

I... I apologize if I step on your toes, Ren. I'm still not the best at dancing.

[saxsongs]

Don't worry about it. You're doing perfectly well.

[Ren's smile is assuring and calm. If she's stepped on his toes, he hasn't really paid attention to that or noticed.] Just relax and go with the music.

[icansolvethemtoo]

[Her smile grows a little and she nods, looking back up at him. Ren's quite the charmer, and she actually feels relaxed dancing with him.]

Thank you, Ren. You must be a professional at this.

[saxsongs]

I just have plenty of experience. I was dragged from party to party ever since I was young...

[heartandsong]

[Really Ren, dragging her out here. Not that it was really just him. All of them practically dragged her here even though she told them she didn't to go! Well, she wasn't mad or anything...just kinda confused as to why she was even here in the first place.

So occasionally, Haruka would randomly space out during their dance, sorry Ren.]

[saxsongs]

[It's not hard to notice that she's not paying much attention to their dance.]

Is there something wrong, Haruka?

[ooc: we can continue here in the overflow.]

[teablossom]

[What a request- Mami picked out a passably fancy gown with no intention for dancing- She came out to the dance floor to look for her company, or any familiar faces.

But- As long as she's here-]

I suppose one song can't hurt.

[Here's hoping it's an upbeat one. She might be a bit awkward from never dancing partnered before, but she can give a splendid spin when called for!]

[saxsongs]

[Have a charming smile, Mami. You've made him a happy man like all the other girls in this room.]

Let's wait for the next song then, shall we?

[What will the next song be? It's-- The Pokémon dance mix...? Really, the music here.]

Someone doesn't know about the chicken dance.

[teablossom]

-of course.

[But however composed she's trying to be, that song (My- what does that say about the hostess?) comes as a surprise, and catches her off guard enough that she stumbles only a second before diving in.

Just don't call her out for twirling as she laughs at it, k~?]

Is this normal music for a prom?

Whoops

[saxsongs]

[Ren lets out a laugh as well.]

It might be normal in this world. Everything works around Pokémon after all.

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Well, she sure looks like a princess in her golden dress and golden shoes and golden everything.

But the song that starts playing is so ... SLOW. Good thing she's wearing the mask to hide her eyes, but the line face and red cheeks are still there.]

It's too slow. [You just want to get as near her as possible, don't you?]

[saxsongs]

[Just as planned. Ren will surely enjoy this chance he gets.]

Really? I think it's nice and pleasant.

[He'll hold out his hand for her with a charming smile.]

[meikyuubutterfly]

[YOU PLANNED THIS CHANGE IN MUSIC? Nah, but good timing for you, Ren.

She kind of takes a deep breath here before she takes his hand.]

Fine, I guess you can have a dance.

[Actually, slow is good, she's not in the mood to dance anything fast and cheerful.]

[saxsongs]

[He could have bribed the DJ, you never know.

After getting a 'yes' (or at least something similar) Ren leads Utau to the dance floor. He'll keep his distance once they start the dance, even if he'd very much like to take her to his arms.]

[ooc: we can continue here in the overflow.]

[lovechronicle]

[Oh, well calling her a princess will get a giggle from her. She feels like a princess today, with that dress and that hair and everything else considered. But proms are always full of girls feeling like a princess, right?]

Ah yes, yes you can have this dance, prince.

Re: Open~

[saxsongs]

[In Ren's opinion, every girl should always feel like a princess, but especially on this day, they should be treated as such. That's why you have Ren making that possible.]

I'm glad. This song seems to be ending soon, so we won't have to wait for long. And it's really nice to finally meet you like this, Mitsuki-hime. We didn't get to speak too much at the concert, after all.

.... okay, let's just delete the title now, because I just forgot it there. XD

[lovechronicle]

[Every girl is a princess in their heart, is what Mitsuki and Minnie once talked about.]

I'm fine with waiting too, I love time flowing slowly. Ah, and it's really nice to finally meet you like this too! Sorry I didn't have time to talk much there~. [It was such an amazing and busy day.] And you look wonderful tonight!

whoops~

[saxsongs]

That's alright. You and I were both busy. [Though Ren was busy for completely unrelated reasons like dodging his friends.] At least we got a chance like this so soon.

You look charming as well. Then again, you always do.

[darkenedgales]

[No, Casanova, you may not have his dance.

But Crow definitely finds it amusing to watch his friend dance with every single woman in here a variety of girls (every time he looked at him, he was with a different one, goddammit). How he's managing such feat is beyond him, but on the other hand, he didn't expect any less of Ren. So when the duelist finally walks up to him (wearing his usual attire because WHY THE HECK NOT and with a bottle of something that appears to be beer in hand), there's a big, albeit somewhat sly smile on his face.]

Having fun?

[saxsongs]

[Ren gets to rest after every dance, so he's managing just fine. Besides, he has plenty of experience for these kind of dances.

Though he doesn't mind talking with Crow at all. It's been a while since he last saw him, after all - so this was a nice chance to chat. Besides, the evening wasn't only for the ladies.]

Of course. [He'll pick up a soft drink from one of the tables.] I'm having the time of my life. How about you?

[ooc: we can continue here in the overflow.]
