☆ 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.

[Despite this being a very formal event, Hagakure's really never been one to deal with formal things correctly. At the start of the event, he's going to be wearing a plain black tuxedo, picked out for him of course because he has no idea what he's doing otherwise. But as the night goes on, it's going to get too uncomfortable for him so he'll start unraveling the suit, eventually replacing his shoes for sandals. Basically, this happena. It...will probably not go well, will it.

Joining him during the event are Grey the Elgyem, Suzu the Chimecho, and Hathor the Magical Pink Cow. Never know if you're going to need your anti-ghost cow, y'know?]


[Indoor Ballroom]

[If you're looking to dance with Hagakure, you might want to make a move quickly because he looks really uncomfortable hanging out with all the fancy people and boring music. Alice-chi was right, this place is stuffy as hell. He's going to wallflower it up while he's here, constantly digging at the heels of his shoes in an attempt to make them more comfortable. Ugh, this is why sandals are way superior.]

[Garden Party]

[Hagakure quickly discovers that the indoor ballroom is way too formal for him and he knew he would've wallflowered the entire night, so he's decided to move out to the party that's way more his style. He can be found testing all the snacks set out there and walking amongst the garden itself. He always did like the garden room back at the school...but there's something about this one that's way more enjoyable. Maybe it's because he's not trapped in a murder school in this case. That's gotta be it.

He's also loosened up his attire by this point, abandoning the shoes somewhere in the garden and opting for sandals that he smuggled in. He's not ashamed at all about it either.]


[Parking Lot]

[...okay maybe he is slightly ashamed now because those sandals got him a one-way ticket to the doghouse, AKA the parking lot. Of course he would run into Clair when he wearing them instead of his regular shoes. Look, the Fates didn't say anything about it so how was he supposed to know!

Now that he's stuck out here, he's going to be sulking around for a bit since he can't really compete with all the trainers battling. How he's been here for like seven months and doesn't have any strong Pokemon is a mystery. But he will eventually start offering his fortune-telling services to fellow parking lot peeps since hey, may as well try to make a quick buck when you're down and out.]

PARKING LOT

[personal profile] nostabbing 2014-04-08 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, what're you doing out here?

[And along comes Parker, looking rather dashing; it's fairly apparent from the expression on her face that she's been looking for him awhile now, and was decidedly not expecting to find him relegated to the parking lot, of all places.]

Is everything okay?
crystalballer: (☄ i'm not saying it was aliens...)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2014-04-09 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Hagakure immediately perks up from his slump when he hears Alice's voice.]

Alice-chi?

[He looks around frantically until he finds her, and looks pretty embarrassed when he sees her expression. He really hopes he didn't worry her or anything, especially since the reason for his sudden disappearance from the party is utterly stupid.]

Y-Yeah! Everything's okay. I'm okay. I just uh...well, Clair kinda kicked me out of the party.
nostabbing: (TIRED ⚡ still the bravest little toaster)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2014-04-09 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
She kicked you out?

[You know, that's really kind of impressive considering Ishimaru apparently didn't get kicked out for throwing Saionji in the pool, and Saionji didn't get kicked out for being an entire shed of tools. Honestly, Parker can't really imagine something Hagakure could've done that would've proved to be more of a hanging offense, save for maybe, like, stealing Lance's underpants and hanging them majestically on the flagpole or something.]

What happened? Why'd she do that?

[personal profile] crystalballer 2014-04-09 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[With a heavy sigh, he just glumly wiggles his sandal-clad feet in response.

Yeah, he got kicked out because of the sandals.]
nostabbing: (WARY ⚡ teach me how to like stuff)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2014-04-09 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[...he got kicked out for having feet???

Yeah, she doesn't catch it at first.]


You...tracked mud...on the floor?
crystalballer: (☄ i'm not saying it was aliens...)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2014-04-09 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Well at least Alice doesn't see anything wrong with the sandals. He can't help but feel a little better just for that fact.]

No, no, it's 'cause I was wearing my sandals instead of my fancy shoes. They were getting really uncomfortable so I switched 'em out. I guess I broke the dress code which is a capital offense or something in Clair's book.

nostabbing: (EAT ⚡ judging you like john marshall)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2014-04-09 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's stupid.

[Zero hesitation.]

They don't make comfortable fancy shoes, though, do they. I mean, I'm wearing these, you know? They're not comfortable. I mean the ankle support is better than some of the alternatives but...nope. Not comfortable.
crystalballer: (☄ maaaan)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2014-04-09 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
It just sucks. Why can't we just be comfortable instead of suffer to look good? 'sides, I don't think these look that bad...

[He frowns at the sandals.]

But I really screwed up, so I don't think Clair's gonna let me back in unless I get some fancy shoes back. I don't even remember where I left mine.

[Because of course he forgot. It would be too easy otherwise.

He pauses briefly, then glances up at Alice with a look of shame. He feels really bad about the whole situation.]


I'm sorry I messed up our date. I promised you'd have a good time but here you are with me, not even at the party...

[She presses her lips into a line, thinking — and fortunately, paying more attention to the thinking than to the expression on Hagakure's face, because if she were paying attention to how dejected he looks right now, she'd probably actually be really upset about it.]

Hey. Wait.

[ ... :|a ]

So you just...need shoes, right? I mean, if you had shoes you could go back in and it wouldn't be a problem?
crystalballer: (pic#7274607)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2014-04-09 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[His look of dejection slowly turns into curiosity. The gears are definitely turning in Alice's head, he can tell. What's she planning...?]

That...was basically how she worded it, yeah. As long as I have passable shoes, I can get back in.
nostabbing: (NOT BAD ⚡ learned that on the internet)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2014-04-09 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
...I saw some shoes.

[She looks down at his feet, catching her lip in her teeth as she takes a brisk mental measurement.]

You wear like a size, what. Ten?
crystalballer: (☄ did i just do something right?)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2014-04-09 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Y-You did? Just lying around?

[...Fate, you sure are wishy-washy today. But Hagakure's not complaining at this point.]

Yeah, ten or eleven work. You could tell that just by looking?
nostabbing: (DOOR ⚡ what's going on in this thread)

[personal profile] nostabbing 2014-04-09 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah. Just...lying around.

[ON SOMEONE'S FEET]

Just. Hang on, okay? I'll be right back, promise.
crystalballer: (pic#6746430)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2014-04-09 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Okay!!

[He's suddenly much more enthusiastic because yes he's being saved! By his awesome date, no less.]

I'll wait right here! I won't go anywhere!

[...well duh, he's stuck here.]
