☆ 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.

[ Well, casual Saturday...that means she can do as she likes, right? While Bianca will wander around the estate grounds looking for Bloobers much like some of her counterparts have done, she also spends most of her Saturday in the library/gallery, taking copious notes in a green notebook, as she mutters to herself. She has to get some of this back to Professor Ivy...!

...Although around lunchtime she'll pretty happily set up a sort of picnic with her Pokemon. Ranging around the picnic blanket are a Stoutland, a Simipour, a Musharna, a Mienshao, a Chandelure, and a Serperior. If she sees anyone approaching, Bianca will smile. ]


Oh, do you want to join in? I made sure to bring enough for everyone.

[ ............somehow she got her hands on a lot of the fancy food leftovers. Probably she just asked. ]

[Hagakure stops in his tracks when he hears someone calling to him. It doesn't take him long to spot Bianca and her Poketeam, considering some of those Pokemon are pretty big! With a deer in the headlights look, he points at himself.]

Huh? Me? Well I was just passing by, but... [After sneaking a glance at the picnic spread, he smirks like a loser and trots over. His own Pokemon (an Elgyem, Chimecho, and Miltank) aren't far behind.] How can I say no to good food?

[He's pretty sure he should be more wary about accepting food from a stranger, but this girl looks harmless. She's actually kinda cute, honestly.]

I'm Hagakure by the way. If we're gonna be picnic buddies you might as well know my name, right?

It's nice to meet you, Hagakure! My name is Bianca; Assistant Professor to Professor Juniper.

[ ...Though some of y'all may not have heard of her esteemed boss, since Oak and Elm are in charge of these regions...

Bianca opens the basket and happily waves her hand to it. Please, help yourself! ]
crystalballer: (☄ did i just do something right?)

Nice to meetcha too, Bianca.

[He's in the middle of reaching for some food when he stops himself. Wait, that sounded pretty important...

Yeah, definitely important.]


Whoa, you're an Assistant Professor? That's a pretty big deal!

[He can't believe he managed to stumble upon one of the important guests without even realizing, and here he is joining in on her picnic! Jeez, his predictions have been really off this weekend, but he's not complaining.

He slides back into place, now with a sandwich half in hand.]


I only know about Professor Elm though...where are you and Professor Juniper from?

We're from the Unova region, actually.

[ Hey, he's allowed! Not everyone is as weird as Clair is at the notion of interacting with the peons...

Bianca especially doesn't see the point in not talking to new people. Please, partake of the food and picnic and know Clair won't show up to throw you out so long as you're talking to an NPC who seems to be enjoying themselves. ]


I've never been to this region before, so it's something of a new experience...although the part I'm supposed to be paying attention to is the bloobers.
crystalballer: (☄ i predict you're an asshat)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2014-04-22 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Bless being able to hang out with the guests so Clair won't throw him out again. Bless.

He nibbles at his sandwich with interest as Bianca explains.]


Unova, huh? I think I've heard of it once or twice, but I don't know what it's like. Heck, I'm still not totally familiar with Johto and that's where I've been this whole time.

[Basically, they can talk about Johto's mysteries with mutual wonder.]

Oh yeah, the Bloobers...they just kinda showed up out of nowhere a couple months back. I guess no one in Johto had ever seen 'em before 'cause the Pokedexes weren't picking up any info. Have you gotten to see one yet?
