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.

[For at least part of today, Wake's outside over by the waterfalls. He wanted to get a look at these Bloober things everyone's talking about and well, he's not really sure what they are, but he's out here looking at them.

He's got a notebook with him though, and seems to be writing something down every now and then. But they're not observations about the Bloobers or anything like that. Instead, there's a rough sketch of a Bloober themed mask, and a bunch of names next to it. The Bloobing Bloobers. Bombastic Bloobers. Blooberbrawl. Bloober Bomb. And other such names. He's not sure which one's best, but he's pretty sure one of them's going to be the perfect name for a Bloober themed wrestler.

After contemplating another one for a moment, he jots something down, and turns to whoever's around, ready to let them in on his next idea.]


I'm telling you, these Bloobers could be the next big thing! Bloobermania, what'd do you think? Catchy, right?

[...admittedly, Cynthia doesn't quite get the fuss about Bloobers specifically, but god damn

this guy]


Oooh, that does sound pretty snappy! Though, you can't stop at just one idea. You've got others, right?

[she sees the notebook but she cannot see the contents]
pokestars: (crasher wake)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-11 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I have other ideas! Take a look.

[With a smile, Wake hands over the notebook for Cynthia to take a look at. Admittedly these aren't the world's greatest ideas, but he never said they were good ones.]

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-04-14 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[...granted, this is totally Cynthia's style... though, yeah, she's not feeling many of them except one.]

Hmm... I like Blooberbrawl, actually! It's got some nice alliteration going. ...Though, is this the name of a fighting competition?
pokestars: (crasher wake)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-17 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
Close!

[Wake's pretty glad somebody likes them. Or likes one of them. That's the whole point. To come up with something catchy that audiences will like.]

I was thinking that could be the name of a Bloober themed wrestling event! Maybe put Bloobers on the posters, the ring, everything!
ajustcaws: (to reach the unreachable star)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-04-22 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, yes! But I think if you're going to figure out how well they work, you're going to have to yell them at the top of your lungs. Like...

[she turns to the waterfall, takes a deep breath, and fistpumps like a pro.]

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY! PUT YOUR HANDS UP AND GET READY FOR BLOOBERBRAAAAAAAAAWL!

[That gets a smile and a laugh from Wake. ]

Hey, that was pretty good! I like your spirit, kid! You ever thought about being an announcer?
ajustcaws: (to run where the brave dare not go)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-04-27 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cynthia grins right back because holy shit, this is great.]

Hmm... maybe it could be a side job, but I'm more interested in getting into the hero business!
pokestars: (crasher wake)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-05-01 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
A hero?

[Wake hasn't met very many future heroes, so he's definitely interested in hearing more about that.]

How's that going for you? Sounds like a tough business to get into!
ajustcaws: (to run where the brave dare not go)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-05-04 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
The hero business isn't an easy business, but we wouldn't be heroes if we gave up, would we? I think it's going to be a while before I get my big break, but when I do, it's going to be something spectacular!
