☆ 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.

[Celes has been running her eyes over the collection of trophies and awards in the room for quite a while now, enjoying the way they sparkle in the light. Imagine the winnings that would have come with them...just how much money did these two possess? She had to make sure she made some time to speak to that handsome cousin of Clair's...

However, as she goes to shift over to the next case, she spots something a little more interesting than a few trophies - and potentially a lot more profitable.

...hello, well-dressed gentleman.

Quickly checking her make-up in the nearest reflection, she floats over to where he's standing, sidling up to the case and painting a rather pleasant (for her) smile on her face as she focuses her gaze on the trophies.

This could be fun.]


Quite an impressive collection, isn't it? It's enough to make one feel rather inadequate.
pokestars: (and then there's this guy)

[...Good...evening to you, too, you just sort of came out of nowhere.]

In a way, I suppose - they are the strongest trainers over two regions.

[He glances over at her while he says it, just long enough for him to get some idea of the person he's talking to; his eye contact doesn't linger for long, however.]

It's not a path that interests me, unfortunately; I'm not well-suited to it. But I can respect what they do.
divinitea: (SMILE ♠ you're an idiot ^_^)

Judging by your companion, I find that rather hard to believe. He's rather impressive.

[Oh, she certainly hasn't missed Pyroar, and neither has her Ninetales - do try to look less thirsty, Beatrice, it's terribly embarrassing....

Now hopefully that thing won't turn out to be female, or this will be off to a fantastic start.]


I've always been fond of Fire Pokemon. They have a certain...majesty to them.

[...please actually be a Fire Pokemon

like judging by Beatrice's reaction she's 99% sure it's Fire Pokemon and she's gambled on worse odds

but still]
pokestars: (and then there's this guy)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-06 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[...All right, you're kind of a weird child, but you're stroking his ego and you're stroking Pyroar's ego, so you can stay for now.]

I'll agree with that much, at least.

And you are...?
divinitea: (AMUSED ♣ all of these keywords are lies)

[personal profile] divinitea 2014-04-06 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[...another successful gamble~

Now, if she isn't hearing things...is that a French accent? She hasn't heard anyone with a French accent since she arrived...

...time for another gamble.]


I am Celestia Ludenberg. Enchantée.

[Hopefully, her intuition will continue to serve her well.

...now if her Ninetales could return her focus to her trainer instead of that damn lion, things would be going much smoother]
pokestars: (and then there's this guy)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-06 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[...Ah. That's...]

Enchanté.

[Well done, you, pretty much.]

Lysandre - je viens de Kalos.

[...shit shit shit he's speaking French

this wasn't supposed to happen

...and where the hell is Kalos? Is that a city in France? She's certainly never heard of it...]


Monsieur Lysandre.

[Let her curtsy while she racks her brains - she does know some French, but it's been ages since she's used it...

...well, pride won't allow her to screw this up; let's hope he's in a good mood.]


S'il vous plaît pardonnez-moi...mon Français est...

[...how do you say 'not very good' dammit]

...mon Français n'est pas bien. Je suis désolé pour les erreurs.

Mais, je vais essayer!

[Aaaaand that was pretty much the extent of her abilities, hopefully her Cute Charm will fix this...]
pokestars: (and then there's this guy)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-07 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[...Celes, did you speak French to the French person and expect him to not respond in -

okay, you know what, we're good. a bit confused, but good. go, weird foreign teenagers, go]


...Don't let it trouble you; this works well enough.
divinitea: (SMILE ♠ you're an idiot ^_^)

[personal profile] divinitea 2014-04-07 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[She spoke one of the more well-known French phrases in an attempt to be endearing, that does not mean you start speaking the language at her]

I hope that isn't a comment on my French.

[Her voice is light, however; playful. We've still got this, Beatrice. The game isn't lost yet.

...hopefully...]


Are you from France, then?

[She doesn't want to assume; the last thing she needs is to find out you're from Belgium and accidentally insult you...]
pokestars: (and then there's this guy)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-09 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Celes, this entire thing hinges on the assumption that Lysandre isn't completely socially stupid.




...godspeed.]


I'm not familiar with "France" at all - I'm from the Kalos region, actually.
