☆ 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.

[Hello there, Walter. Hope you don't mind a small little fire-moth appearing to just materialize in front of you, chirping happily at your feet. She was with Jimmy and Leader at the refreshment table, but she spotted Walter from afar, recognized him, and decided to come over to say hi.

So hi hi hello Walter!]
beholdmydemons: (happy - feel like a king)

[personal profile] beholdmydemons 2014-04-05 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[...is that

IT IS]


Inferno?...Hoy, you're looking well!

[He kneels right down to give the 'piller some scratches along the fuzzy parts.]

Guess who else is here, eh? The twins and your father, as well - is it them you want to see?
awesmazings: (☼ she drew)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-05 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Inferno trills happily at the scratching before nodding, hopping up and down. YES YES she would very much like to see them.]
beholdmydemons: (happy - well fancy that)

[personal profile] beholdmydemons 2014-04-05 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sweet. Luckily, the babies are on hand, since...they have a tendency to get into ridiculous situations when left to their own devices. He lets Edgar out, then the two Wurmples, and that should facilitate a happy caterpillar reunion, right? D'aww, look at 'em.

Jimmy must be around somewhere if Inferno is here. Walter looks around for some sign of the kid as he steps back.]
awesmazings: (☼ and from your lips)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-05 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Facilitate a happy caterpillar reunion it does! Inferno couldn't be happier. Hi hello family!!

Meanwhile, Jimmy was actually about to check where Inferno had wiggled off to when he spots Walter with her in the distance, waving with a hand that isn't holding a cup of punch.]


Hiya Walter!
beholdmydemons: (happy - how bout a drink)

[personal profile] beholdmydemons 2014-04-06 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Hoy there! [He waves Jimmy over, keeping an eye on the 'pillar pile to make sure the Wurmples don't truss Inferno up and carry her off or something. They've been up to some weird shit lately.]

She looks well! [With a little shrug in the moff's direction.] It's good to see you survived the night, eh?
awesmazings: (☼ to make me stay)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-06 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Inferno probably wouldn't mind all that much if they did that, really. She seems to be pretty content to just go with the flow.

Jimmy makes his way over with a grin, Leader following close behind at his heels.]


Heh, yeah- thank you! She's been doing really well for me. Especially with those cold nights we were having a couple weeks back.

[He leans over slightly so he can get a glimpse of the 'pillar pile over there.]

Looks like she's having fun, speaking of.
beholdmydemons: (... - awkward)

[personal profile] beholdmydemons 2014-04-07 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Orthrus is gonna hop right over there and pat Leader on the head c: ]

I didn't tell you the story of that [....what do you call a group of caterpillar eggs] ...clutch, did I? It's kind of funny, how I got them.
awesmazings: (☼ hallelujah)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-07 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Leader wags his tail a little at the headpats. Hello friend. He would return the favor, but alas, he is too short.]

Oh? No, I don't think you did! How'd you get them?
beholdmydemons: (unhappy - wry grin)

[personal profile] beholdmydemons 2014-04-08 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He gestures to the Volcarona.] I've had Edgar since...nearly the day I came here, a man named Laguna vanished and left him behind. It was near the end of winter that we were going up the road to Ecruteak, and he elects not to go into his ball for about the whole time.

The night after arriving, what am I greeted by in my room but Edgar and his secret lady-friend, and their four new eggs? He'd courted a wild Beautifly and met with her in secret as she followed us for close to a week!
awesmazings: (☼ well it goes like this)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-08 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[....WELL. That's one way to do it.]

Awww! So that's how you got all these little ones, then!

[That's kinda cute, inconvenience of sudden...babies notwithstanding.]
beholdmydemons: (... - shut up navarre)

[personal profile] beholdmydemons 2014-04-10 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I haven't trained them much, but Edgar seems content to keep them as they are, so...
awesmazings: (☼ love is not)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-10 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
I've been training Inferno with the rest of my team, and she's been doing really great so far! And of course she's great to have on cold nights.

[Inferno looks up momentarily from the 'pillar pile when she hears her name mentioned, chirping happily.]
