☆ 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.

IN THE PLACE YOU LEAST EXPECT IT

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-06 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[So as everybody is packing up and getting ready to go, people who just so happen to be in the right place at the right time may overhear something incredibly odd...

...

Almost like someone is...talking to himself?]


Aha! At last I have arrived here, at the place which is used for the holding of the event called prom! This is where people have come to see the Pokemon, mysterious, known only as the Bloober. I too will investigate this mystery, so as to see the Bloober, and to learn its secrets!

[...the hell was that...]
saxsongs: ➥ Official art (So obvious)

[personal profile] saxsongs 2014-04-06 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[New people arriving at the end of the prom. They sure were late. And all they care about are the Bloobers. Typical NPC behavior.

Wait, does this guy talk to himself?

... what the... heck...]
pokestars: (THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-06 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Evidently that was a man on a mission, because assuredly that is a thing that this man is!]

So as to begin, first I will find the place of location for the Bloober. But there are none here! Therefore I must begin where a Bloober is likely to be — so, perhaps near the water.

[FOR REAL, HE'S JUST GOING TO BE ON HIS WAY, MAN.]

[personal profile] superordinary 2014-04-06 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yep, that sure is a person talking to himself.

...not sure if crazy but LET'S APPROACH HIM ANYWAY HE FTE'D SYO HE CAN DO THIS. ]


Um, I happen to own a Bloober. [ My Bloober, let me show you it. ]
pokestars: (THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-06 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Young boy, there will come a day upon which you learn the folly that is speaking with a person who is clearly Rather Questionable Actually, but evidently that day which is coming is not the day that is today.

GREETINGS.]


Aha! I have been spotted! You there, with the powers of observation that are very good! Greetings!

[wait hold up did he just say]

Did you say you have with you a Bloober? One of the mysterious Pokemon Bloobers?
superordinary: (pic#6740797)

[personal profile] superordinary 2014-04-06 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
...You're not from around here, are you? [ Because that sure is a weird way to structure sentences. ]

And yeah, I have one with me. I can show him to you if you want.
pokestars: (THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-06 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Oho! I am from everywhere. This is because I am a well-traveled man! It is always hard to say from which direction I am going or coming!

[it's official there is actually something wrong with this guy]

Yes, very good! Show me the Pokemon that is called the Bloober.
enjoymyatelier: what is that thing doing here... (>warily regard bullet)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-04-09 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[...okay he cannot see the source of this voice

has the BGM incorporated some bizarre poorly translated David Attenborough voiceover or what

...okay you know what he's just going to keep packing and see if this goes anywhere --- no that is a guy

...]


...were you supposed to be here earlier?
pokestars: (THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-09 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
[you better believe that is a guy]

Again, a guest with the extraordinary powers of observation! Therefore, I will speak with you, and in doing so advance the goal that has brought me to this fine estate. What has brought me here was not the party, very fine, which has occupied you previously! No, I am here for a different reason. The reason of seeking the Pokemon known as the Bloober!
enjoymyatelier: i think he's fucking her navel (that position is bizarre and improbable)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-04-09 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
I... see.

[he actually does but what even]

Well, they're not particularly difficult to around the actual falls, though they haven't come particularly close to the villa from what I've seen, and thank god for that.
pokestars: (THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-09 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
And you have seen them? This Bloober, with your eyes, has been in your view while you were away from the villa, and near the falls?

[An agent of the International Police must always take the steps necessary to ensure that he is not being given a bad lead.]
enjoymyatelier: just imagine the crossed arms and this is von karma as balls (are you cross examining a parrot)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-04-10 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
...all right, look, do you just want to follow me there? If it took you this long to get here then I'd hate to see what you'd do on the way to the falls.
pokestars: (THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-10 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Superb! Then you shall be my guide to the location of the Bloober. For that, I will ask your name, and then introduce myself in return!
enjoymyatelier: zach. they're here. (migrane's a comin.)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-04-10 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[...what has he gotten himself into...]

...well, if it's really necessary, I am Lord Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi.
pokestars: (THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-10 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
And I, I am a globe-trotting elite of the International Police! But no, I shall inform you only of my code name. My code name, it is Looker. It is what they all call me.
enjoymyatelier: the fuck is that. (404 atelier not found)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-04-10 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[...the emotional olympics he's doing to keep his face from showing looker how he really feels about that]

...I... see. That really explains a lot, actually.

About everything.
pokestars: (THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-10 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed! For I am an elaborative man, and on a serious mission of great importance!

[look how serious he is and how important]

Now! Tell me what you know of the Bloober. The rumors which have spread about them are vast and surprising! Therefore, I must ascertain if they are dangerous, and if so, to make a report of the dangers accordingly.
enjoymyatelier: god damn it is hard to be polite here. (you are straining the limits of my class)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-04-11 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I'm certain you are.

[he says, with the empty tone of someone who has finally seen it all and really wishes he hasn't]

The most stunning fact about them is the fact that no one seems to know anything about them, really --- though I wouldn't call them dangerous to anything but decent clothing.
pokestars: (THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-11 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha! A malicious breed with a vengeance to wreak upon the textiles! Yes, this information is very useful. And for what reason, have you surmised, do the Bloobers target such decent apparel?

[No for real man tell him everything]
enjoymyatelier: what is that thing doing here... (>warily regard bullet)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-04-15 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
...

I really doubt they have a species-wide grudge against textiles. They're just completely covered in slime.
