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.

[Fate was tempted to have Cynthia trip over a Furret again, but unluckily for Fate, Cynthia spotted the creature first]

...woah, watch yourself there, buddy! There are legs and feet everywhere, you know.

[...because damn she'd feel bad if she hurt someone by tripping over them!]
rarestcandy: (hey bonehead)

[Gogurt, being a small animal, was sorely tempted to accommodate Fate even with Cynthia's warning, as getting under one's feet is in fact a small animal thing to do. Still, she resists and instead gives a ferrety smile up to this mysterious stranger before cocking her head to the side.

...There wasn't really a noise to associate with this one, like there had been with the click click lady, and so after a pause Gogurt reverts back to her natural state -- imitating a running motor. Just as she's about to vroom around the room for another lap, her trainer appears to pluck her up by the scruff. Seems the sound attracted her.]


Nuh-uh, come on. You're gonna break something! [Gosh, it's hard to hold onto six feet of wiggling Furret when you're as tiny as Vanellope.] An' you should apologize to this lady here, too.

[VvvvrrrRRRRROOOOOOOOoooommmmmmm.]

That's better.
ajustcaws: (to run where the brave dare not go)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-04-20 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Cynthia is so charmed, though.]

Aww, she doesn't have anything to apologize for! Just be a little more careful next time, that's all.
rarestcandy: (this is my medal in badassery)

[personal profile] rarestcandy 2014-04-21 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Gogurt revs a few times in agreement with Cynthia's point, nudging a cold nose against Vanellope's cheek.]

Nah, s'okay. She's a danger to society.

[She says it plainly enough, but it doesn't keep her from setting the Furret back down. Luckily she's not set on walking, as Gogurt as decided to use their legs as a course. Figure eights ahoy!]

She's way more used to running in a city, so being here is kinda making her bonkers. Goldenrod has big open streets and stuff.
ajustcaws: (no matter how far)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-04-24 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cynthia's expression drops sharply at the first sentence, though... goes a little more neutral when the fact that it was a joke catches up to her.]

Oh, yeah, I can kind of see that! Goldenrod is pretty huge... and there's stuff everywhere, so it's not like just being in a room or something. Maybe you should go outside for a bit if she gets a little... uh... even more wound up?
rarestcandy: (you gotta use two different breads)

[personal profile] rarestcandy 2014-04-28 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Uh-huh. We've discussed it of course, but it appears that she would like to drag me all over the place before deigning the outside world with her presence.

[The Furret lets out the rodent equivalent of a chuckle, coming to a halt at Cynthia's feet and standing herself up. Beep-beep. Have a friendly honk as Vanellope drops the overly-proper tone and her straight-backed stance with it.]

I'll take her out in a bit, if she doesn't calm down. It's hard to get a racer to stop once she's goin', but I'll manage! I think she'd rather cool off outside than get howled at by that scary dragon lady and her cousin, anyway, you know?
ajustcaws: (no matter how far)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-05-02 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I can totally understand that! I mean, I've been doing pretty much the same thing, except nobody's come close to tripping over me.

...

Yet.

[...maybe someday she will understand what the beeping is, but she is from the anachronistic middle ages and what are cars

either way, it's cute]


...and yeah, I wouldn't want to run afoul of her. She seems like no fun at all...
