'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

John's instantly recognizable, at least, and high on Aradia's list of "people to find". She's equally sort of casual, in a knee-length party dress in bright red, courtesy Kanaya - and sneakers. Which were probably not courtesy Kanaya. ]
John!! You look nice. You know, we're very collectively color coordinated - it makes people easy to spot, though.
no subject
[...Aradia, why are you wearing sneakers. You still look very pretty but...how did Kanaya let you out the door?]
no subject
Kanaya probably has a headache, somewhere around here. ]
You do! It's a nice blue. And blue and orange do go well together!
[ ...Don't they? She thinks all colors go pretty well together, though. It's so different from all the gray! ]
Have you been having fun so far? And I believe you promised me a dance of the cluckbeast variety!
no subject
[Are you thinking what he's thinking Aradia? Because if so, you really should stop because thinking like John is rarely, if ever, a good thing.]
no subject
[ One of those right, John? ]
no subject
[Good, Aradia. Good. You're close...a little too close, but still not quite in the danger zone of Egbertian brain wave similarity just yet.]
no subject
[ CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, if so. ]
i laughed entirely too hard at that icon.
[This is going to be terrible.]
i legit went to find and upload it JUST FOR THIS.
[ Why did their dates leave them unattended, really. ]
you are a beautiful human being. a+
Oh most definitely.
[John grins and raises his hands, assuming the position of the chicken.]
[What dance that follows is likely the most ridiculous and wildly out-of-sync rendition of the chicken dance to ever exist in the universe or any other. This was supposed to be a classy event, and yet here they are: flapping their wings and shaking their butts in the middle of the dance floor. Who cares that there's currently a slow, romantic waltz playing? The chicken dance can totally be done in slow-mo.]
[John is clearly having the time of his life. If he feels any shame in doing this, it's not showing in his moves or his face. Though he is progressively laughing louder and dancing more off-beat as the dance continues.]
so are you, a+ a+
This is clearly the most classy dance to dance to a slow, romantic waltz, and they are totally managing to do it to the beat of the waltz! They do not look at all out of place or at all stupid, nope, not at all.
Okay, they are clearly ridiculous here and Aradia might be laughing just as much. Why are they allowed to be alone together? Kanaya and Rose should have known better. Of course, there aren't any partners to swing around to swap with when they go, since everyone else is obeying the laws of actually waltzing, but spinning around together in a circle before starting again works, right? ]
no u
[How Claire hasn't kicked them out yet is a mystery for the ages. But as long as they're having fun, who cares?]
[As the song ends, John starts clapping and continues laughing loudly.]
Haha! That was great. An excellent dance, my lady, we will have to do it again some time. [He doffs his hat, sinking into a sort of half-bow.]
NO U
Absolutely! And maybe next time we can convince a few of the others to join in, too. For the partner switch part!
OKAY BOTH OF US. WE CAN BOTH BE A+ INDIVIDUALS
I ACCEPT
