☆ 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.

[SPEAKING OF PEOPLE WHO ENJOY THEIR DRESSES, when Cynthia spots Garry at the refreshments table she bounds on up to say hello!]

Oh, hey! I was hoping to see you here. I wanted to tell you, you made a real winner!
artificialrose: (candycloud) (Oh my god that is a gorgeous man.)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-04-07 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[At first, the voice doesn't immediately register, but when he catches sight of that familiar dress, Garry lights up.]

I'm so glad! You wear it so wonderfully too. I was honestly still a bit nervous, since none of you were around in person... But everything seems to have turned out for the better.
ajustcaws: (to run where the brave dare not go)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-04-11 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
No, it turned out great! That takes some serious skill, anyway --- you're like some kind of Dress Mage or something!

[...that's a compliment, she promises]

Anyway, I'm really happy to get to meet you in person. It... actually seems a little harder to do it than you'd expect...
artificialrose: (candycloud) (The cops came and I made friends)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-04-11 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[No worries! He takes it as one.]

I'm glad you like it! Still, I'd rather not make that many dresses in that short a time anytime soon. I think I fell asleep on the way here. [Which is... something.]

Ah... I imagine because everyone is spread around so much?
ajustcaws: (to run where the brave dare not go)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-04-20 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha... I don't blame you! I mean, I'm no tailor, but I can tell that was a lot of work. I'm really glad you did that for us, though.

And yeah, that seems about right. I'm lucky that a lot of people I know seem like they stay in Goldenrod a lot of the time.

[for... various reasons]
artificialrose: (candycloud) (The cops came and I made friends)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-04-21 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Everyone deserves to feel and look wonderful. I was glad to do it.

[Well, maybe he wasn't glad in the middle of the night when he was working hard, but the results are worth it.]

Hmmm, well it is one of the bigger cities around, isn't it? I can see the reason why, especially with the train station there. It sounds as though there are many shops as well. Ib and I might go there after this.
ajustcaws: (no matter how far)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-04-24 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
...wow, that's borderline heroic!

[does dressmaking grant you hero status? a question for the ages.]

And that's what I've heard. I've been to the Department Store a few times, and you wouldn't believe some of the stuff they have!

...Or maybe you would. I'm not really sure.
artificialrose: (daydreamgalleries) (You're just mad because I have)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-04-24 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Well that's definitely the first time he's ever been called heroic just because he has an interest in fashion...]

Who knows, right? In this place, we can always be surprised!
ajustcaws: (no matter how far)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-04-27 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, exactly! It's like every day's an adventure here --- I keep coming across stuff I've never seen before.

...then again, I was amazed by the little levers you flip to turn the lights on and off, so I might be finding a few more surprises than most.
artificialrose: (yumis-icons) (Once he started yelling at me in)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-04-28 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Really? They're not common where you're from?
ajustcaws: (no matter how far)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-05-01 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd never seen one before coming here, actually. It's really weird... nobody else seems like they think they're out of the ordinary.
artificialrose: (yumis-icons) (Is everything okay?)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-05-02 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Well... They're actually really common. Honestly, the most surprising things for me have been things like the PCs and pokeballs... I can't believe that Pokemon can be kept in such small spaces and seem perfectly fine with it.
ajustcaws: (Default)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-05-05 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah, those are just weird! I mean, how does that even work? I keep thinking it was some kind of magic I've never seen before, but everyone keeps telling me it's technology...? I mean, I know a guy who might be able to figure it out back home, but it might even go over his head...
artificialrose: (yumis-icons) (It took you forty minutes to realize)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-05-05 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
It almost doesn't seem real, I can understand why you might think it's magic. I wonder if there's someone else here, some sort of scientist, who might have a better idea of how it works?
ajustcaws: (no matter how far)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-05-09 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... maybe! I mean, someone's gotta be making this stuff, right?

...unless they just pop fully formed out of the ether and no one actually questions it.
artificialrose: (snarfles) (I need a second opinion on whose)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-05-12 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
You realy don't think at least someone in our shoes got a little curious..?
ajustcaws: (no matter how far)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-05-16 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, I do! There has to be someone who's looked into it.

...I'm not sure how much they'd be able to find out, though.
