☆ 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.

justkeptswimming: Which I forgot when I started to sink (I will keep winning until the race is ru)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-05 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Who's hype? Asahina's hype. She's been excited for this from the moment the plastic pokeballs started falling and there are very few things that can dampen her spirits this weekend. She'd even gotten herself a friend-date in Chihiro.

For someone who doesn't dress up often, she seems incredibly comfortable and happy with her dress. This might partially be because of the incredibly comfortable white sneakers she's wearing under it. Her hair is down, loose and straight down her back and accented with a yellow hairclip holding her bangs in place. All of her Pokemon are out of their Pokeballs for the weekend but primarily sticking by her side: Donut the Slowpoke, dapper as can be with a yellow bowtie around his neck, Aoi the Floatzel, sporting a lovely yellow flower corsage around her wrist, and the newest addition to Asahina's team Elcair the Dratini, who will be draped over Asahina's shoulders for most of the night because otherwise she'll wiggle somewhere she shouldn't (again) and be nearly impossible to find.]


A) Indoor Ballroom

[Being the SHSL Swimmer has benefits outside of the obvious. Asahina has a pretty fantastic sense of rhythm and movement. She's dancing by herself but she'd be happy to have a partner, especially if you're one of her classmates.

Not far away, her Floatzel looks like she's having a grand time dancing with a certain Zigzagoon.]


B) Elite Four's Trophy Room

[Wow. Just...wow. Asahina spends more time than she really should wandering the trophy room, taking in the details of each award, trophy, badge and ribbon. She's quiet but her eyes are bright and determined, inspired even.

Three guesses who has a new goal in her Pokeworld life?]


C) Outdoor Garden Party

[POOL! POOL, THERE'S A POOL DO YOU SEE THIS POOL? ASAHINA SEES THIS POOL AND SHE'S ON THAT LIKE HERSELF ON A BOX OF FRESH HOT DONUTS. She can be found doing laps in it, having a grand old time with her own Pokemon and the others dropped off by their trainers. Near the side of the pool is a soaking wet yellow dress and sneakers. Someone got a little overexcited and bounced right into the water, completely forgetting that she was wearing a swimsuit under her dress. One quick change later, she's in her element and happy as a clam.

Anyone who comes near the pool is going to get a coaxing from Asahina to join her in a swim, like some kind of mermaid except instead of drowning people and eating them she just wants to race and play chicken.]

[Currently making her way past the dancefloor over to the drinks (god, it's nice to be able to have a bit of alcohol again...), Celes can't help but notice the girl in the yellow dress currently having a grand old time dancing with herself. She's content to keep going and leave her be, until her gaze drops to her feet.

...

Sneakers? With a ball gown?! Who even let this girl in?

Celes is more than happy to try and pretend that this...person doesn't exist and be on her way - until, at the last moment, said person twirls around, and Celes gets a full view of her face.

...]


Asahina-san?

[...this is going to be a long night.]
justkeptswimming: So I dive straight back in the ocean (I open my eyes and I see that it's you)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-06 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow, Celes, way to completely miss the horribly clashing dratini around her neck. Get with the program, girl.

Asahina freezes mid-boogie, staring at Celes with wide eyes. She already knew Celes was in Johto thanks to Naegi but actually interacting her is a whole other ballgame.]


...Celes-chan.
divinitea: (AMUSED ♣ all of these keywords are lies)

[personal profile] divinitea 2014-04-07 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Celes pauses for a moment, her eyes flicking up and down the length of Asahina's body - before her usual smile slides back onto her face.]

How lovely it is, to see you again...and in such auspicious circumstances.

[...now, what part of the whole Hope's Peak debacle are you from...? Judging by that reaction, she's willing to bet it's something similar to Kirigiri and Naegi.

...hee hee hee.]


Are you enjoying yourself, here in Johto?
justkeptswimming: Cause that song that sent me swimming (I can't remember the verse)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-07 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Peachy to see you again too, Celes. Once the initial shock of seeing yet another dead classmate in the flesh (how many does that make now, 4?) Asahina's expression shifts from shock to something more serious.

Three guesses who is still not happy with you that whole entire last 3/4 of chapter 3 and the firt two don't count.]


I am, yeah. [If the baby dragonworm around her neck is any indication.]
divinitea: (SMILE ♠ you're an idiot ^_^)

[personal profile] divinitea 2014-04-07 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Ohoho, someone seems a little grumpy tonight! How very amusing...]

You don't sound like it.

[It's almost like her presence has had some sort of effect on you! But surely that isn't the case.]

You're usually so talkative, and yet...tonight you seem oddly reserved. How very curious.

It's almost like you aren't happy to see me.
soundmind: (Awkward ► Uhh...haha okay?)

C

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-04-05 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...wow, Asahina, were you--?

[Wearing that under your dress?

Aaahhh that's really rude to ask, abort!

Maka crouches by the poolside to look at her, having an absurd amount of balance considering she's wearing heels. The only one that was brave enough to come up to the wet poolside with Maka is one (1) Riolu, mimicking her trainer's crouching posture.]


You really like swimming, don't you? [Replace a rude question with a dumb question, good job, Maka.]
justkeptswimming: Yes, I was swimming (And now I'm swimming)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-06 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes. Yes she was. She is always prepared in case of a pool. And she heard a few things about last year and mentions of a pool.

Asahina folds her arms on the edge of the pool, leaning against it to look up at Maka and offer her a wide smile.]


Well, yeah! Super High School Level Swimmer and all. [Curious about this new person, Eclair the Dratini swims over and plops herself onto Asahina's shoulder. Baby dragonworm wishes to say hello.]
soundmind: (Smile ► This time I'll disappear)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-04-06 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Super High School--oh, Souda mentioned something like that. It sounds like you guys went to the same school. [...The same school which Ishimaru implied some Messed Up Things happened at that he can't talk to her about yet. Um. Well.]

...[Oh look, it's a little baby dragonworm, Maka smiles at her and waves.] At least you've got friends to swim with, though.
justkeptswimming: Which I forgot when I started to sink (Can I touch what I feel)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-06 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Souda? Hm, he must be one of Nanami-chan's classmates. [She reaches over and gives Eclair's head an affectionate pat.] If he is, then yeah we did! Hope's Peak Academy. It's an exclusive high school for kids who are the best at what they do! [At least it was before Shit Went Down.]

Like I said, I'm the SHSL Swimmer and in my class we had the SHSL Author, Good Luck, Programmer, Martial Artist- things like that!
soundmind: (wait a second)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-04-07 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Wow...[Ishimaru never told her stuff like this, but then it's also implied Shit Went Down so probably for good reason.]

At my school we're just ranked by stars, I'm a two star right now and three is the highest you can go.
justkeptswimming: Yes, I was swimming (And now I'm swimming)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-08 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[So much Shit Went Down, Maka. So much.]

That's impressive, Maka-chan! You must be a really dedicated student. [She knew you seemed like a neat person for a reason, Maka. Determined and dedicated girls, aw yeah.]
soundmind: (Awkward ► Uhh...haha okay?)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-04-10 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
Haha...thanks. It's because of my mother and I want to work hard and be something she can be proud of, she's the strongest Meister that I know. [Even if it might not necessarily be true, her teachers are pretty strong Meisters, but in her opinion her mom's the best.]

[Of course most of her friends would just pop in with NEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRD.]

But there are a lot of people like that I think, what about you? Do you have someone you want to work hard for?
awesmazings: (☼ of your dreams)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-05 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Oh the temptation to jump in with her is so unbelievably strong, but he'd feel bad getting such a nice vest all wet. That and what he has left to change into is the most casual stuff imaginable, so really what he's in is all he's got. Still, he'll stand near the edge and watch Asahina, rather impressed by her swimming skills.]

Gee, if I knew there was gonna be a pool I woulda' brought a swimsuit!

[...Not that he has one TO change into.]
justkeptswimming: Which I forgot when I started to sink (Default)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-08 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Give in, Jimmy. Give in to the siren call of the pool.]

No swimsuit never stopped me! Come on, Jimmy, the water is perfect!

awesmazings: (☼ on the marble arch)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-08 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Weeeelll....

[Asahina stop it's so tempting.]

I do have other clothes to change into....but what about my vest?

[And fancy-smancy pants and bow-tie?]
justkeptswimming: Which I forgot when I started to sink (So I dive straight back in the ocean)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-08 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She is a pool siren, luring teenage boys to get their clothes wet and have races with her.]

You can just leave them with my clothes! [She gestures to her soaking wet sneakers and damp yellow dress.]
awesmazings: (☼ the fifth)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-08 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[TEMPTING.......SO TEMPTING...]

...Aahaha, well alright! It can't hurt!

[And with that Jimmy takes off his vest and white undershirt, tossing them by Asahina's clothes before moving to pull off his shoes...

Before he can quite get them, though, something comes sneaking up through the water past Asahina, circling slowly....slowly.....until.....]


SPLASH!

[Jimmy is suddenly yanked by the leg right into the pool with a yelp of surprise. Asahina might notice a little Buizel floating on his back next to her, snickering his head off.]
justkeptswimming: And hope for the best (Then all the sudden I hear a note)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-08 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Success! Aw yeah, swimming bud- oh shit.

Asahina lets out a yelp of surprise, throwing up her arms to shield herself from the giant splash Jimmy makes as he topples into the water. She doesn't have time to noice Lucky but Aoi the Floatzel sure does. She paddles over, making scolding noises at the Buizel. That wasn't very nice, Lucky. :(]
awesmazings: (☼ the minor fall)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-08 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, so much for buying new shoes for the prom. Jimmy resurfaces after a moment or two, sputtering, reaching up to brush the water from his eyes. There's a beat where he just wades in the water- ...even though he could just stand up- before bursting into laughter.]

Aahaha! Well, guess I'm goin' swimming whether I wanted to or not!

[Lucky jumps a little when Aoi comes his way, almost immediately deflating when she starts scolding him. Awww heck, you're no fun. Not like he wasn't going to get in anyway...]
justkeptswimming: Which I forgot when I started to sink (I will keep winning until the race is ru)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-08 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Asahina laughs along with him, pushing back her wet bangs out of her face.]

Since you're in here anyway, do you want to have a race with me? [Asahina, no. He may have a height advantage but you'll wipe the bottom of the pool with him.

Aoi sighs, delivering a light bap to Lucky's shoulder. He was but knocking people in like that is just mean. :( Go apologize.]
awesmazings: (☼ she broke your throne)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-08 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jimmy pauses long enough to pull off his now sopping wet shoes, dumping the water from them before tossing them up onto the ground near the other clothes.]

A race, huh? Sure, why not? You're on!

[Even if you do wipe the pool with him, Jimmy can't resist a good challenge.

Lucky huffs a little, his tails swishing across the surface of the water. ...OKAY............but wait don't they have to race first? Yes, let's not interrupt that.]
justkeptswimming: Which I forgot when I started to sink (I was swimming)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-08 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a particular glint in Asahina's eyes as she back up against the edge of the pool, back against the tiles and one foot flat against the wall. It's a glint that says "I haven't had anyone to be competative with like this in you have no idea how long, this is going to be great even when I wreck you but I'm a good enough sport that we should go raid the dessert table after this". Asahina's eyes can be very expressive.

Aoi sticks close to Lucky's side as their trainers set-up for their race. Fine but right afterwards you need to apologize!]
awesmazings: (☼ I got a taste ☼)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-08 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jimmy takes a position next to Asahina at the back of the pool, mimicking her and adopting her stance in the water. From afar Lucky watches with Aoi next to him, huffing and puffing because greeeaaat now he has to ~apologize~.]

So wait, who's gonna be our referee?

[personal profile] pipers_son 2014-04-08 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Fuck it. He has extra make up in his bag, another set of clothes, and a fire type who can dry everything anyway.]

[Not too long after Asahina jumps in, she'll find another loser just JUMPING IN CLOTHES BE DAMNED after her. When Joker resurfaces, sure, his make up is ruined now, but he's laughing a whole lot.]

[He's done his serious business talking for the night. Let him have fun.]
