☆ 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.

[Harry has ventured forth from the library for once with his little group of pokemon trailing him. They stop behind him when he stops, seeing Shaun.]

Enjoying the party?
neededlassie: (Come on dad hurry up)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-06 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shaun turns and sees Harry, and to say he's happy to see a trusted adult figure is a bit of an understatement.]

Mr. Mason, hi! I'm having lots of fun! What about you?
haveyouseenalittlegirl: (A normal day at home)

[personal profile] haveyouseenalittlegirl 2014-04-06 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to hear that.

[Harry smiles more. Kids having fun is always nice to see. He nods.]

I am actually. Though I've been mostly in the library. But I have to come down now and again to get food for my group here. And myself of course.

[His pokemon group right now include a Pichu, Hoot Hoot and a Darumaka behind his legs]
neededlassie: (can I pick my own room?)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-07 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy, a Pichu! Shaun's Raichu takes an interest in that, cheeks sparking excitedly as he leans down to the pre-evolution's level for a hello.]

The library here's really big. Do you think anyone could read all those books in a lifetime?

[Genuine curiosity because he sure doesn't.]
haveyouseenalittlegirl: (A day out with Heather)

[personal profile] haveyouseenalittlegirl 2014-04-07 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Luckily Hazel is the opposite of shy, so you get a cheery wave and a hop in return.]

Maybe if they lived to be over a hundred.... There are a lot of books though.
neededlassie: (That was fun)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-07 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Calvin grins with a happy Rai rai! as he puts a paw between Hazel's ears and ruffles the Pichu's hair.]

Maybe people here do live to be over a hundred. Since people don't get killed here maybe they just don't have to die.
haveyouseenalittlegirl: (Smile and a laugh)

[personal profile] haveyouseenalittlegirl 2014-04-07 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
They'd certainly get enough time to read if that's the case.

[It was actually something he'd talked about with people before. But discussing whether or not you'd even still age if you're supposed to be dead already, isn't the sort of conversation you'd have with a kid.]

What about you? What sort of books do you like to read?
neededlassie: (You know...)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-07 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[For that matter, it's probably not such a good idea for Shaun to find out that you're supposed to be dead anyway, Harry, given his not-so-recent dad experiences.]

Lots of kinds. I don't like scary stories, or ones where sad things happen just because.

[he would love The Princess Bride.]
haveyouseenalittlegirl: (Not always awkward...only mostly)

[personal profile] haveyouseenalittlegirl 2014-04-07 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Even more reason not to bring it up.]

I'm not a fan of sad stories either.

[His relationship with horror is mixed thanks to essentially living through one.]

If you want, I could help you find some good ones to read in the library later on. They have some good stories with dragons in them.
neededlassie: (can I pick my own room?)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-07 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah that's why Shaun's relationship with sad and scary stories is pretty much no thank you - after all he's been through, he could stand to have some happy endings.]

Really? Dragons are awesome! I've got two of them. And Chase, who looks like a dragon, but he's not a dragon-type.

...Oh, but I might not be able to finish a book before we have to leave.
haveyouseenalittlegirl: (Story time)

[personal profile] haveyouseenalittlegirl 2014-04-08 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
There's some shorter stories that you can get through.

If you're not too old for that sort of thing, I could read you a story or two before we have to leave.

[Reading kids stories is just dad 101, but it's even more important when you're a writer.]
neededlassie: (You know...)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-08 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Shaun thinks about it for a minute. On the one hand, he's 12 years old and he's been pretty independent for the last year. On the other hand, being so independent has left him missing some of the good things about actually being a kid.

All in all, it doesn't take that long to decide.]


I'm not too old.

...But you gotta promise not to tell anyone.
haveyouseenalittlegirl: (Alien ending)

[personal profile] haveyouseenalittlegirl 2014-04-08 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Puts his hand up. Shaun you are reminding him so much of young Heather/Cheryl right now.]

Promise.

I'll try to find something good...with dragons.

How is your team doing anyway?
neededlassie: (pic#5650612)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-08 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome! Thanks, Mr. Mason.

My team's really good. We got two new badges! And after this weekend is over I think I'm gonna start getting a lot more.

[Because, you know, it's the most reasonable source of income for a 12-year-old in this world.]
haveyouseenalittlegirl: (See that wasn't so bad)

[personal profile] haveyouseenalittlegirl 2014-04-09 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Congratulations, it sounds like you're on your way to being a master pokemon trainer Shaun.

Are you trying to get all the badges?
