☆ 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 upscale garden party! There'll also be a ballroom indoors for more traditionally fancy red-carpet goings-on, but most of the action (and volume of guests) will be found mingling out back.
GREEN areas are where guests will be staying overnight! Unfortunately, you'll be sleeping-bagging it up, since there's a limited amount of bedrooms in this house and they're all being occupied by Clair, Lance, the Elite Four, and guests who are regrettably way more important than you. However, 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 (and their special guests) 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 prefer the classy elegance of a formal red-carpet gala over the more whimsy outdoor garden party atmosphere in the back. 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 — we've detailed them further right here. 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. There are also pictures of the Elite Four members themselves, though it seems there's been a changeover since the last prom; the candids and Official Portraits™ depict different people entirely now (with the exception of Bruno) and there are a few photos of some sort of ceremony among the others. These photos include Lance being declared Champion of both regions by Professor Oak, while the rest of the Elite Four look on; Lorelai hugging Will and Karen immediately after their promotion to Elite Four; Agatha and Koga having an exhibition battle between her Gengar and his Crobat; all six of them piling into the frame for what amounts to a massive group selfie, etc.

[Kirikou has not had a chance to learn about Saionji's reputation, newbie to Johto as he is. That doesn't mean he's been able to ignore Ayani's guard dog efforts, however.]

[Oh boy, a challenge on the dancefloor. Let's do it.]

[Yeah, he is boldly approaching. And yeah, he is wearing a baseball cap with his suit. Class, what class]


Hey, pigtail!

[CALLIN' YOU OUT SAIONJI]
konpeitoqueen: (ill bash ur fookin ead in)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-04 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
[...You're not serious.

You can't be serious.]


Excuse me? 'Pigtail' is no way to address me, brat! Do you even know who you're talking to?

[Ayani: Cue growling.]
fourwayconnection: (selfparody) (Man the last time I saw you)

[personal profile] fourwayconnection 2014-04-04 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Like a heart attack, Saionji.]

[Kirikou just steadfastly ignores Ayani. He's faced scarier.]


No, and I don't care. Like you can call me a brat when I'm taller than you!

Anyway, you're on the dancefloor, so it's time to dance. Come on.
konpeitoqueen: (hisssssss)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-04 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[E X C U S E M E]

Whoa- as if I'd accept an invitation so crude! I'm SHSL Classical Japanese Dancer- a title given only to the best of the best in their respective field!

[She waves that title around like a badge of honor again.] You're beneath me in so many ways I don't know where to start, pig! So how about you leave before I get Ayani to bite your leg off?

fourwayconnection: (potmeister) (If the world would stop letting me)

[personal profile] fourwayconnection 2014-04-04 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
And I'm a member of DWMA's Spartoi unit, the elite team of only the best students there. Kirikou Rung, close combat and ranged specialist. 'Sup?

[SO THERE]

[Also he is starting to back up and stretch his legs, Kirikou what are you doing-]


How about if I can get past Ayani, you dance with me?
konpeitoqueen: (i will end you)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-04 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[...

It's on.]


Oh, so a soldier, are you? You've still got no right to ask a person of high culture like myself so casually to dance with you!

But sure, I'll agree to that.

[Unfortunately, none of them have much of a sense of restraint. Ayani growls and suddenly leaps, mouth on her back extending in her a Crunch.]
fourwayconnection: (selfparody) (So I managed to get the dick)

[personal profile] fourwayconnection 2014-04-04 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
More like a knight in shining armor.

[But oh boy, Jaws incoming at 12 o'clock! Just in time, he remembers what Maka told him about fighting the Mons. So instead of going on the offense, he just goes evasive. That is to say, he leaps forward to meet the Mawile only to suddenly give a leap, palm of his hand flitting briefly across the top of those nasty jaws as he flips over Ayani.]

[He's actually pretty graceful, too, landing right in front of Saionji with a cocky grin.]


We're a pretty big deal back home.
konpeitoqueen: (whAT THE FRICK FRACK)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-04 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ayani unceremoniously falls jawflat to the ground.

FUCK.]


E-eh?! [SHIIIIIT.] Why would someone like you want to dance with a girl like me, anyway!? I bet you're a pervert loli pedo, huh? And get extra sticky during the dance, too...

[Still. She can't argue he did win. So she's not running away, just pissed.]
fourwayconnection: (punmeister) (He does have a point though.)

[personal profile] fourwayconnection 2014-04-04 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Pedo? Yeesh, I'm only fifteen, shorty, calm down.

[He is so insulted]

Who gets on the dancefloor and doesn't want to dance, anyway? You can't be shy with a weird mouth like that.
konpeitoqueen: (pouts aggressively)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-05 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm seventeen, so turns out you are a brat after all.

[...alright then...] I was waiting for someone more dignified, but I suppose I don't have much of a choice now. Which ballroom dance do you know?

[An SHSL specializing in dancing can learn them pretty fast, and while she isn't PERFORMANCE STAGE QUALITY, she's actually... pretty fucking good in a variety of ways. But also an impatient ass, unfortunately.]
fourwayconnection: (punmeister) (He kept saying the best defense)

[personal profile] fourwayconnection 2014-04-05 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
You don't look seventeen. [Wait would that start a fight? Whoops.]

All of 'em, probably. [Slight exagerration? Maybe.] Got a preference? Dunno how you could really dance in a weird dress like that.
konpeitoqueen: (whats up you meme loving fuck)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-05 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Nah, she's completely aware she doesn't look seventeen. It's one of her selling factors, really.]

It's a kimono! And this one has a cut which only folds into a tight form for buyo dancing when tied correctly. I'm not stupid enough to wear one strictly made for buyo for an event like this.

[She, indeed, is pretty proud that she can untie her kimono a bit herself- and very quickly, because frankly, it still makes her paranoid. The bottom of her kimono now fans out like a dress, though, and doesn't look... much like a kimono.

Much to her chagrin, probably.]
I guess waltz is fine, seeing as anything else might get me kicked against the wall or something.
fourwayconnection: (punmeister) (He kept saying the best defense)

[personal profile] fourwayconnection 2014-04-05 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so weird Japanese thing.

[Regardless of 'weird Japanese things', Kirikou goes to move in to properly position himself for a waltz. Good thing that's one of the easier ballroom dances, at least if you asked him. Easier also translating to 'boring' of course.]
konpeitoqueen: (i will end you)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-05 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Kimono! Don't call it 'weird Japanese thing' like it's some bland foreign product! Don't you have a Japanese name?!

[Animes. Such an enigma.

Anyway, she does begin waltzing... she doesn't know too much, don't expect something crazy. Though, she does make an effort to let go and twirl quite often, always making sure to give the correct cues beforehand (but not waiting to see if he got it).]
fourwayconnection: (selfparody) (Man the last time I saw you)

[personal profile] fourwayconnection 2014-04-05 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Hell no. Try 'African'.

[But enough about that, dancing time! He figures out pretty quickly that she's not an expert in this, so he doesn't do anything wild, no worries. He might be pushy, and a bit of a jerk in that dumb teenage boy way, but he's not an asshole or anything. So he keeps pace, grinning a bit.]

Not too bad, I guess.

[Can Saionji even recognize a friendly teasing tone is now the question.]
konpeitoqueen: (Let's Dancing!)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-05 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, tbh, 'Kirikou' technically fits the bill for the whole Japanese intonations thing. She's a bit impatient with him, obviously- and no, she can't recognize the friendly teasing tone. Excuse you.

Too bad she's too concentrated on dancing to say much- but the look on her face will probably betray her emotions. Damn idiot.

When the violins and piano begin to end off on the song, she's pretty fucking happy to end off the dance, too.]


Ugh... I'm SHSL Classical Japanese Dancer, not Ballroom. [A bit of a petty excuse for her standards, but...]
fourwayconnection: (punmeister) (He kept saying the best defense)

[personal profile] fourwayconnection 2014-04-05 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Jeez, you'd think I gave you a failing grade or something. Relax. [He pulls back and lets his hands rest behind his head.] You're alright, don't get worked up over not being Miss Perfect.
konpeitoqueen: (hisssssss)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-05 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[...Hrrrrrk.]

...But that's the point, isn't it? [She leaves her meaning pretty vague.]
fourwayconnection: (punmeister) (He kept saying the best defense)

[personal profile] fourwayconnection 2014-04-05 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
What, being perfect?
konpeitoqueen: (KESESESESESE)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-05 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It wouldn't be any fun if I just told you!

[So yes, being perfect is kinda around there.]
fourwayconnection: (selfparody) (Man the last time I saw you)

[personal profile] fourwayconnection 2014-04-06 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
So I'm right.

[SORRY SAIONJI he doesn't play around with games. Especially when this is the option that makes him grin a little.]
konpeitoqueen: (hisssssss)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-06 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
You have no right to assume you're correct just because of that, dumbass!

[spot-on tbh]
fourwayconnection: (punmeister) (He does have a point though.)

[personal profile] fourwayconnection 2014-04-07 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Sure I do! Why mess around when you can just be outright in stuff?

[#doesn't do subtlety]
konpeitoqueen: (whats up you meme loving fuck)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-07 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Because of tact and not wanting to?

[INSECURITIES AND PARANOIA PROBLEMS HI AGAIN]

Get out of my face, pig, I've wasted enough time dancing with you!
fourwayconnection: (selfparody) (Man the last time I saw you)

[personal profile] fourwayconnection 2014-04-07 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
But that's boring.

Anyway, see ya later pigtail!

[TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME]

[And now he's gonna try and make a quick escape before Ayani can be sicked on him again.]
