☆ 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.

A - BEFORE THAT WHOLE DISASTER...

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2014-04-05 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Who said anything about asking Saionji to dance?

Atsuro saw her and decided to come over to say hi, that's all!
]

Hey, Saionji!

[WHOA WHO IS THIS SNAZZY LOOKING YOUNG MAN oh wait it's just the hatless nerd.

His Gardevoir follows right behind him, looking a lot more graceful than her trainer.
]
konpeitoqueen: (ahahahahah... i'll fucking krill you)

ahh yes, the good old times

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-05 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? Who are- [OH, THE SNAZZY YOUNG MAN IS... BIG BRO ATSURO.

...HE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL KID.

WHAT.]


Big Bro Atsuro! [Mawile's growling stops.] ...Wait, exactly how old are you, again?
babel_hacker: (Headtilt | Oh?)

when all is calm and peaceful

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2014-04-05 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He pause and raise a brow. What kind of question is that? How old does he look to people?!]

I'm twenty! I guess I didn't tell you.

[And why would he, anyway.]
konpeitoqueen: (i will end you)

and no one is dead or dying

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-05 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
[...wuh]

Twenty? How long have you been here?

[SERIOUSLY SHE... IS JUST STARING AT YOU A BIT. Twenty. What. Did this world suck you in for so long you kinda lost all sense of shame and good judgment a normal adult would have]
babel_hacker: (Hat Tilt | Yo)

just hanging out and sharing snacks

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2014-04-05 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
How long?

[It only takes him a brief moment to answer this time.]

Almost three years. My third anniversary's coming up in about two weeks this month.

[He'll always remember the date he arrived in this, since it's when everything started for him. Plus...it's only a few days off from Yuzu's birthday.

WHAT SHAME and excuse you, he totally have good judgement. You just never see them using them!
]
konpeitoqueen: (ahahaahha whee...)

saionji should be barred from prom forever at this rate

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-05 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Jeez. Saionji doesn't know he still thinks about the people that aren't here- if so, she might have asked for advice on dealing with... Koizumi things.]

Figures. Environment makes you who you are, so I shouldn't expect you to act like a 20-year-old in my world. [Still... that's a long time. It's a bit surreal, really, that she's actually still here. Because so many times, she just gets thrown up-front with the face of death, and...]

So, you've just been... wandering around for three years?
babel_hacker: ([Yuzu] Walking together)

but does clair know her name yet

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2014-04-06 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, he thinks about them from time to time. When his training and work doesn't distract him, his mind would occasionally think about his friends. Or he might even get reminded of them if he see something in the city.]

If I'm twenty in your world, I'd still be studying in an university or go into employment training.

[Assuming her Japan is like his. But it's seem so long ago since he attended school, wow.]

Mostly, yeah. I travelled and trained my Pokemon to get the badges, since it's usually easier to go out there and see things for myself.

[The first, oh, several months was bearable since he have his friends from back home. It was fun until they start leaving...]
konpeitoqueen: (listen to my turbulent sob story)

not yet, oh, not yet

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-06 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Huh.]

...University... employment training...

This place is far too kind. People just go around doing whatever they want, indulging in inconsequential adventures! How does society even sustain itself? [This is all so... nostalgic?] It's too bad I won't ever get to do it... not that I really want to, though.
babel_hacker: (Casual | Chatting)

should someone spill the name

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2014-04-07 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
I guess after a while, people would stop travelling and settle down in one place.

[Which he's actually thinking about for a while. His Kanto travels aren't done yet, but it'd be nice to have a semi-permanent place to return to...]

...You sound like you wanted to do it. [ooooh~?]
konpeitoqueen: (or ill tear ur face off)

ishimaru dont spill the name

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-08 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[...She... does want to do more than dancing, but...]

It's not like I could ever do that, anyway! I always have to be dancing.

[Saionji kind of wishes she was exaggerating.] My life was set for me, though... I could easily make more than a comfortable living, and order the entire clan beneath me! Teehee... how cruel, that I've been brought here instead!
babel_hacker: (Checking on laptop)

stares at the hall monitor

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2014-04-09 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Always dancing? Wouldn't that get boring after a while?

[He wouldn't know since he always have a choice to pick what he wants to do, within limits, of course.]

But cruel? To who, you or this world?

[He's only half-joking about it, but her words did give him a glimpse into her life. Sounds like the life of a heir in a traditions-bound family, where personal free time and maybe even freedom is limited.]
konpeitoqueen: (lol dumbass pig bitch)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-09 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ATSURO PLS]

You know, when I say 'always dancing', I don't mean 24 hours a day! I still have time to do other things, like gardening, snacking, or playing games! I don't get many, but video games that have professors which can solve puzzles are my favorite!

[She used to like ones where you could go around collecting cute monsters. Then this world happened.]

And- to me, of course! Any place benefits from my presence. [She's kinda offended, seeing how her voice takes a harsh dip there.

The fact he said that works well with her, though. #avoidsthequestion]
babel_hacker: (Heeeeey Yoohoo)

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2014-04-12 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[LET HIM SPECULATE AS HE PLEASE.]

Oooh, I would've thought you're like one of those people in a traditional household and with a really strict life style. But at least you can play games!

[A life without video games is an empty life. Or else he wouldn't know about the magic of Pokemon or RPGs.]

And thought so! I guess any place would be less boring with you around.

[Because of her utter obnoxiousness.]

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-12 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
Don't get me wrong, it is super-strict! But I guess being the Heiress gives you special privileges others don't.

[Lord have mercy on those who don't know how to dance in a household of dancing. They really do practice 24/7... it's a bit like a factory. Some come out right, some don't, and some break while the machinery is working on them.]

Of course. The aesthetically based arts are always a plus! [She doesn't catch his real implication, but eh.]
babel_hacker: ([Yuzu] Glad to know you)

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2014-04-17 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
I thought so! Being the heiress is a super important position, so there should be some special privileges to make up for the strict life.

[Since heir/heiress usually have a lot of stuff to deal with, as he imagined it to be.

And it seems like she didn't catch his implications. Phew?
]
konpeitoqueen: fanarticons from icondere.tumblr.com (bleh bleh)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-17 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Obviously.

[The conversation dying down a bit, she looks around the ballroom, looking for victims new entertainment.] Anyway, I'll be going now- Prom doesn't last for that long!

See you, Big Bro Atsuro!
babel_hacker: (Waving | Hi)

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2014-04-18 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He waves at her.]

Alright, see ya! And have fun, Saionji!

[At least until Poolgate 2014 happens.]
