☆ 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.

Is that right, Nanami-chan?

[Botan will play along anyway, she looks around as though surveying the scene and nods.]

Captain, I'll keep an eye out for enemy fire, you lead the way! ...Cute dress, by the way, Nanami-chan. I do so enjoy the retro look.
lullabytes: official game sprite (SMILE ► you go girl)

[personal profile] lullabytes 2014-04-05 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, thank you! I saw it and...it was something I had to have, right?

[ It's VIDEO GAME THEMED, of course she had to have it! But she straightens with a little smile. That's...one of the best responses she's gotten so far. ]

Mm, we'll get the highest score together, right?

[ And she holds out a hand to Botan. ]
styxiedust: everyone taquitos. How much room do we have in the freezer? (Smile ✿ Dude Eric's high and buying)

[personal profile] styxiedust 2014-04-05 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
[And she takes it, laughing lightly.]

Of course, two players are better than one after all.

[It's not like she's any better with her FLOWER-THEMED, MUST HAVE aesthetics.]
lullabytes: official game sprite (CONSIDER ► let me see)

[personal profile] lullabytes 2014-04-06 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
What dance should we dance? I know lots of line dances, and also a waltz...but I can't lead that...

[ She only learned the girl's part. :c ]
styxiedust: and have sickly, dusty, rotting souls. (Casual ✿ They're frat boys at heart)

[personal profile] styxiedust 2014-04-06 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Not to worry, I can lead a waltz. [She's over 700 years old, she's watched them long enough to pick up on what's what.]

But whatever you want, I'll follow along with it.

[personal profile] lullabytes 2014-04-08 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
A waltz is good, then. I learned that in my dance lessons. ...Ah, did you come with anyone today, Botan-san?

[ Since they're already holding hands, TIME TO HIT THE DANCE FLOOR, HOLLA. ]
styxiedust: person in TBell (Cheer ✿ New game: find the sober)

[personal profile] styxiedust 2014-04-08 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
[HELLA DANCING, don't worry kohai, Botan will lead as best as she can.]

I came here with all of my friends with the hope that I'd get to meet with more of my friends. [She smiles, that sickeningly sweet sort of smile that someone who's the equivalent of the Reaper probably shouldn't get.] And I have, so I'm grateful for that.

--Ah, speaking of friends, though, you don't have to call me anything formal Nanami-chan, we're friends too, aren't we?

[Yes...the sort of shonen friendship formed like instantly?? (Botan it doesn't work that way)]
lullabytes: official art (Default)

[personal profile] lullabytes 2014-04-13 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
...Botan-chan, then?

[ She's never used "chan" even with her female friends, oddly. It just...hasn't come up. ]
styxiedust: at the bar. my birthday is complete (Friend ✿ they're showing aladdin)

[personal profile] styxiedust 2014-04-17 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! Whatever you like. [Except anything formal, because that makes sense.] How have you been doing with your journey save file? Gotten any new or interesting achievements lately?

[Botan it's...really not necessary to keep up the jokey video game talk.]

My friend Yusuke's finally gotten back on his journey. He seemed a lot more interested in raising baby Pokemon for a while there.
lullabytes: official game sprite (POINT ► so that's how it is)

[personal profile] lullabytes 2014-04-19 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ But it does win her tons of points with Nanami...! ]

Mm, I just got my fourth badge before coming here...hopefully after this I can grab the fifth and sixth ones easily. I want to be a Master as soon as possible!

What about you, Botan-chan? What achievements have you gotten?
styxiedust: better than faces (Think ✿ i think i recognize dicks)

[personal profile] styxiedust 2014-04-26 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...I've taken on raising some of my friends' Pokemon after they've left. Some of them have been displaced more than once, so I'm going to have to work on rehabilitating them. Not that I mind, I just...hope I don't end up disappearing on them too.

[Whoa that got heavy suddenly, ahem.]

But that's just making excuses for myself, what I should be doing is breeding since--well--that's what I've been assigned here. Perhaps once we're back to our little dojo house in Goldenrod I'll feel more settled with doing that. [And she can wheedle HMs out of Yusuke since, hey, he's the badge runner here.]
