☆ 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.

[You are now approached by a handsome idol in suit. As taken as he may be, he's still going to dance with his friends. So, Ren bows in front of Tenten and extends a hand to her.]

Can I have this dance?

[Why yes, he has to be a show-off.]
usedswift: (cutie | official ninja registration aw y)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-07 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Ren certainly does know how to catch someone's attention. Tenten blinks with surprise at being the one asked to dance instead of doing the asking, but as soon as she recognizes it as Ren, she grins widely and takes his hand with a bow of her own.]

Of course! I'd be honored, [she answers with a pleased laugh.]
saxsongs: ➥ Anime (2000%) (Summer breeze)

[personal profile] saxsongs 2014-04-08 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ren smiles at the yes and then casually leads Tenten to the dance floor.]

Have you been enjoying the party so far?
usedswift: (hee~)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-09 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! It's even bigger than my birthday. Literally all my friends are here. I think everyone in both regions is here, when it comes down to it!

[She laughs again and prepares to fall in to whatever dance Ren has in mind. Hopefully she knows it.]

Clair sure knows how to throw a party, huh?
saxsongs: ➥ Anime (1000%) (I'm paying attention)

[personal profile] saxsongs 2014-04-09 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It's what's great about parties like this. Everyone comes here to meet friends they usually don't.

[No worries, it's just the old regular waltz. Everyone should know that.]

Yeah. I guess she has a lot of time and resources in her hands.
usedswift: (admiring |)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-10 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
And some new people, too!

[Which to her is almost as important. But right, waltzing, this she can do! As long as it doesn't get too complicated.]

So have you just been dancing the whole time?
saxsongs: ➥ Anime (1000%) (Just leave it to me)

[personal profile] saxsongs 2014-04-11 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Not the whole time. I've also socialized and spent time with Utau as much as I can~

What have you been up to?
usedswift: (smile! | 信じてる!)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-11 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe, I hope I'm not stealing a dance from her...

[But she just laughs and lifts one shoulder in a shrug.]

Just dancing! Meeting new people, mostly. I was in the library earlier, setting aside books to read tomorrow.
saxsongs: ➥ Anime (2000%) (Tender)

[personal profile] saxsongs 2014-04-12 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, no worries. She'll get plenty dances.

[One of Ren's special abilities is clearly "Never get tired of dancing".]

Oo. I hope you found something interesting to read.
usedswift: (excited!)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-15 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Good!

[She laughs again; she wasn't really all that concerned about it, anyway.]

I found a few things! It's all history books, mostly. Me'nd Dave are gonna look to see what we can find about the history of weapons in this world.
saxsongs: ➥ Anime (2000%) (I don't know about that)

[personal profile] saxsongs 2014-04-16 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[... again with the weapons, huh...]

Haha. I hope you'll be successful. I bet the history books will talk mostly about Pokémon...
usedswift: (fistpump! | やるわよ!)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-18 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Always with the weapons.]

Probably... but you never know. Skarmory's Pokédex entry references their feathers being used as knives. What if there's other stuff people have used, too?
saxsongs: ➥ Official art (This looks difficult)

[personal profile] saxsongs 2014-04-18 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Knives are used for other things as well, you know. Not only weapons.

Though usually with possibilities like that, humans will use them for anything.
usedswift: (eh? |)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-21 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah... But I mean, even if it's a vague trace, there's got to be some kind of history of it. If there's nothing at all, that's just more suspicious, isn't it?
saxsongs: ➥ Official art (Bon voyage)

[personal profile] saxsongs 2014-04-21 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmn... you're right. Besides, I doubt everyone used Pokémon for fighting here. There has to be some other methods to fight as well.
usedswift: (enthusiastic |2  聞いてる!)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-21 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Even if it's just a taijutsu style, that's still something we could learn. I mean, people had to have started mimicking the Fighting types, if nothing else, yeah?
saxsongs: ➥ Game (Hahahah)

[personal profile] saxsongs 2014-04-23 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
True, true. Hmm... I actually have two fighting types. Maybe I should mimic them.

[At least they're not Hitmontop. That he wouldn't mimic.] Or then we'll have to figure out when you want to teach me.
usedswift: (smile! | 信じてる!)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-25 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not a bad place to start. What Fighting types do you have, again?

[Yeah no Hitmontop is not a good Pokémon for a beginner to mimic.]
saxsongs: ➥ Official art (Cheerful)

[personal profile] saxsongs 2014-04-27 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
A Hitmonchan and a Mienshao. Not sure if I'd want to spar with the Hitmonchan though, Ryuuya might hit me harder than he should.
usedswift: (hmm? |2  何これ?)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-05-04 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a Hitmonlee and a Mienshao. Both of them are really good sparring partners, though! I fought with Neji since he was a Mienfoo, you really can't go wrong with them.

[She laughs.]

Might be better for you to spar against a human opponent first though, yeah.
saxsongs: ➥ Game (Hahahah)

[personal profile] saxsongs 2014-05-05 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha. Yeah, that's what I thought. We should definitely arrange a fighting date.
