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).

[usedshooshpap]

[ the thing about parties is that there happens to be a lot of people. Karkat is not really in the mood for socializing, a little put out and uncomfortable in the suit that he is wearing. no mask either because that shit is just lame.

he decides to linger around the pool with the water pokémon fluttering about. Karkat keeps a safe enough distance with his Espeon, Leopold, at his heels. Rose and Kanaya would have a hay day of it if he ruined good clothes. that alone is enough of a deterrent, right?

Reef and Melanie, the two Vaporeons have no such thoughts. they're racing each other towards the water. if they want to play, that's fine. Karkat will just find a lawn chair or something to sit in... and try to avoid the splashes. ]

[shadowdive]

[Vanitas was less interested about the people and more interested in sticking around Karkat. He'd ditched his coat at a point though, leaving it with Rue to guard, and with his hands in his pockets and his tie looser than when they first arrived, Vani stuck a little closer to the water, amused with the two Vaporeon.

Much to say? Not really. They're both here mostly to avoid getting told about how much they missed by not going; plus, there's the free ride back to Cerulean after to get one of the last badges.]

[usedshooshpap]

If they end up splashing you because you were too close to the goddamn pool, then I hope you packed a towel. There will be no hugs otherwise.

[ yeah, sure. he can swim. doesn't mean he likes the water though. ]

[shadowdive]

[Rolling his eyes, Vani dips his hand in the water before flicking it at Karkat, smirking.]

There will be hugs if I have to splash you myself so you quit whining about getting wet from me.

[usedshooshpap]

You do that and I'm tossing you outside to sleep. Without any of your beasts to keep you warm.

[ and he'll do it too. don't test him. ]

[shadowdive]

Guess I won't be getting any sleep and I'll just train all night. [Shruuuugs.]

[usedshooshpap]

See this face? This is a face that fully believes you cannot last more than about two hours after midnight without getting lazy due to exhaustion.

[ because Karkat had been determined to get Vani on an actual sleep schedule. hopefully said efforts haven't been in vain. ]

[shadowdive]

What a mean boyfriend I have.

[Dipping his fingers into the water and standing, Vanitas moves closer and playfully flicks the water his way.]

W-woah! [John almost trips as the two Vaporeons bound past him. He wobbles, but fortunately manages to stay on his feet so no harm done. He watches them bound the rest of the way to the pool before turning his sights back in the direction they came from.]

Karkat! [Don't mind him, he's just going to grab a lawn chair of his own and make his way over to Karkat, his Lampent floating faithfully by his side.] How's it going?

[usedshooshpap]

[ does it look like Karkat's bothered by John drawing close? the answer here is no. definitely not.

if John's still wearing a mask, he might make a snarky comment about it at a later point in the conversation. ]

It's loud and I'm pretty sure I made a huge goddamn fool of myself just about an hour or so ago.

[ghostytrainer]

[Nope, no mask! They're kind of hard to wear with glasses, and Rose refused to let him wear contacts. He is wearing a hat though. But John is glad that Karkat doesn't seem to mind his company, so he's just going to set his chair up next to the former troll and get comfortable.]

Oh? What happened?

[usedshooshpap]

[ Karkat groans, face going in his hands. elbows on his knees. Leopold just makes an amused little sound while flicking his tails. ]

Dancing... That might've been involved.

[ghostytrainer]

Ohhhh.

[That's rough buddy.]

Do you want to talk about it or...
