'Cause Baby, Tonight The DJ's Got Us Falling In Love Again...

Who: EVERYONE
Where: Scenic Tohjo Falls!
When: Friday, April 5 through Saturday, April 6
Summary: WHAT SUMMARY DO YOU NEED, IT'S POKEPROM
Rating: May vary by thread, please mark accordingly!
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).

THE ORIGINAL INFOPOST | QUESTIONS AND INQUIRIES HOTLINE
failures: (totally innocent)

[personal profile] failures 2013-04-08 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Larry did indeed see that ad, and here he is looking for his booze. He can't help but laugh when he finds out who the dealer is though.]

Heather, is that you? Actually, I don't even know why I'm surprised.
foolishwren: it's a game and i'm winning (being gay isn't a choice)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2013-04-08 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[She tips her hat to Larry. No, really, no one should be surprised. :I]

The one and only.

Happy to see me?
failures: (✎ happy days)

[personal profile] failures 2013-04-09 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
You know it! I missed you. It's been way too long.

[He starts to rummage through his pockets for his wallet. He does want to get something.

Aaand now his pockets' contents are accidentally getting scattered on the floor. Just give him a second while he scoops it all up.]


When you're done selling for the night, we should sit down and catch up!
foolishwren: but whatever the hell is wrong with him is WAY funnier (honestly i COULD fix him)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2013-04-09 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
It has, dude. I figured you'd be somewhere at this party. Glad to see I was right.

[She grins, shoving her hands in her pockets.]

I take a break every now and then to go do the whole mingling thing, want me to track ya down when I do?
failures: (✎ totally smooth)

[personal profile] failures 2013-05-06 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Larry gives Heather a knowing smirk.] Yup, it's not a party until the Butz walks in!

[Or however that song goes.]

Yeah, that works! How's the business going, anyway? I doubt I'm the first customer you've gotten.
foolishwren: Looks like SOMEONE hasn't tried finger but hole (HEH...)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2013-05-06 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[... Snort. All those Butz catchphrases will never not be funny to her.]

Pretty well, actually!

It's as I expected.

Drinkwise, this place is a desert and everybody's dehydrated.
failures: (a true arteest)

[personal profile] failures 2013-05-07 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Haha yeah, everyone's dyin' for some. I think they got so desperate they spiked the punch too!

[He's seen enough tipsy teenagers tonight to put two and two together. It's a classic prank!]

Looks like you're the only one taking advantage of it too. I think you're seriously gonna cash in.
foolishwren: if u want an ass kicking (come 2 the happy burger parkin lot in 30)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2013-05-07 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeeeaaaah, I noticed that earlier...

[She'd actually called up her dad, one of the chaperones, about it. It's one of those things she'd have thought was a riot back when she was in high school (aka probably one of the teens who'd DO it) but now that she's a couple years older, actually looks on it in distaste. She's all for selling booze to people who WANT it, but not inflicting it on kids who aren't expecting it.]

Ugh, hopefully I won't get blamed for the spiking just because I'm selling.
failures: (✎ gears turning)

[personal profile] failures 2013-05-13 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[His eyes widen a bit.] Oh yeah, that's a good point...

[He contemplates that for a second.]

Clair's gotta have security cameras in a fancy schmancy place like this. That'll probably clear you if anyone makes a big deal out of it, right? Or maybe someone can vouch for you?

[He has lawyer friends, he can sort of help too...!]
foolishwren: Or do you just rip a hole in your chest and let the locusts fly randomly into the keyboard? (do you like... THINK before you type?)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2013-05-13 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Pffh.

This is the place with completely useless police who refuse to see reason, remember?

Do you actually think they'd stop to take REALITY into account?
failures: (✎ oh crap)

[personal profile] failures 2013-05-17 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
That's...true.

[More things Larry never takes into account. Probably because he rarely thinks about the police force.]

Let's just hope their lack of common sense with catching bad guys doesn't carry over into surveillance stuff?
foolishwren: if your gf larps as an elf while talking to your relative who's undergoing chemo, you're allowed to humiliate her in front of her friends by larping as Naruto. (i dont fucking care if its manipulative)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2013-05-18 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Iegh, yeah.

I'd hate to wind up on the run again because of something some OTHER jerk did.

... ANYWAY.

Want anything?
failures: (✎ we cool)

[personal profile] failures 2013-05-20 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[It's when Heather asks if he wants anything that Larry stares blankly with the money in his hand. He...kind of forgot he was getting that out.]

Oh, yeah! That's what this is for.

[He holds out the handful of Pokedollars.]

What'll this get me? I'm kind of on a budget; saving up to do my Kanto run and all.
foolishwren: baka (it's not like I LIKE you or anything)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2013-05-20 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hm... ehhh, it's enough. Larry's cool. He can have the Bro Discount.]

I'd say it's plenty for a beer.

[Digging into the cooler with a rattle of ice, she pulls a can out and hands it over.]
failures: (totally innocent)

[personal profile] failures 2013-05-22 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Works for me! Thanks.

[Yay for discounts! Larry happily accepts the can hands over his last bit of free cash.

As he pops it open,]


So have you actually done any sight-seeing yet, or have you hung out here the whole time so far?
foolishwren: plenty of chairs for collapsing into especially in the shoe department but you WILL be accosted by salespeople. they work on commission and are hungry for your money. 7/10 for style (stores to cry in RATED: nordstrom)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2013-05-22 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
I've made the rounds, but I haven't done any hardcore exploration, no.

[She was planning on doing that once she'd sold more of her stuff-- once the party had reached that late-night stage with people dozing off and retiring to their rooms, it'd be a PERFECT time to snoop around and steal those tiny little soaps from all the bathrooms!]
failures: (✎ we cool)

[personal profile] failures 2013-05-23 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods as he takes a small sip of his beer.]

Well, I'm sure you'll get a good look around by the time the party's over. It's a good thing Clair made this an overnight deal! You should definitely check out the ballroom before it's done for the night though. Even if you don't like dancing, it's still pretty fun to watch.
foolishwren: Object Class: Keter.  Special Containment Procedures: we cant (SCP 4235: my ass)

[personal profile] foolishwren 2013-05-24 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, don't worry, I have plenty of exploration plans.

[It's in her blood, after all-- gotta mark EVERY LOCKED DOOR.]

What about you?
