☆ YOU ARE HERE ☆
LOCATIONS OF NOTE:
• REDUCED G MOON BALLROOM
Accessible only via the balcony that connects back through to the regular ballroom, this unusual section of the moon base is the only major room in which the gravity more closely reflects that of the actual moon, as opposed to being artificially enhanced to better simulate the conditions Earthside. The dance floor is situated approximately fifteen feet below the balcony, recessed into the moon's surface where the rest of the base sits at ground level, and overhead a massive domed ceiling lets in a magnificent view of outer space, the moon's surface, and all the surrounding stars. The acoustics are just as good as those of the standard ballroom, and this dance floor will feature the same music as the other; the only appreciable difference is that in the Reduced G Moon Ballroom, gravity is mostly optional and you're liable to find as many couples spinning through the open air as you are with solid ground beneath their feet. Try not to get trapped in the middle with no momentum, or you might just need a rescue from some considerate stranger!
• REGULAR BALLROOM
A more traditional ballroom for the more traditional partygoer on the moon base: hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and tasteful music. Of particular note are the balcony doors at the north end of the ballroom, which lead onto the observation balcony that overlooks the Reduced Gravity Moon Ballroom! Please don't block those doors; they're the only way in or out!
• DINING ROOM AND BUFFET
GOOD FOOD, GOOD MEAT, GOOD GRIEF, LET'S EAT! The dining room is an area accessible from both the ballroom and the hallway that leads between the reception area and the dorms, featuring scores upon scores of tables of varying sizes that might seat as little as two or as many as eight. On days when the party isn't in full swing, buffet-style meals will be served over a period of two hours at three times during the day — breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When the party is jumping, however, the table will remain perpetually stocked with entrees, sides, and of course a full complement of magnificent desserts for people to feast and snack upon as they so choose!
• DORMS AND SLEEPING AREAS
Your moon base home-away-from-home for the next three days! In the massive dorm wing of the base, you'll find vast corridors of hostel-style bunks available to be claimed. Unclaimed bunks will signal their availability by having their curtains open and empty bunk displayed; though the privacy curtains and beds themselves boast no particular security features, each bunk does come with a reasonably-sized trunk for storing a guest's belongings. Upon claiming the bunk, a guest will be prompted to register their trunk with a thumbprint, which thereafter will be used to lock and unlock their trunk. If you're worried about something happening to your belongings or valuables, feel free to lock them up for safekeeping!
• INDOOR GREENHOUSE AND FLOWER GARDEN
A secluded place where partygoers can retreat from the festivities for a little while, whether it be to catch their breath, for a tête-à-tête, or anything else that might involve the desire for a little more peace and quiet. Featuring small walking paths, real fresh flowers, and even a small inches-deep artificial burbling brook, the moon base garden looks to be a little slice of the planet Earth preserved here in outer space. Seems like all that's missing are the wild Pokemon!
• LIBRARY, MUSIC ROOM, SPA, AND ARCADE
An assortment of four general leisure rooms in the western wing of the Moon Base, most of which are fairly self-explanatory! So, if you feel so inclined, take some time to stop in, poke around, and enjoy yourself in:
▶ THE LIBRARY, which features muted lighting, plenty of hardwood paneling, and a quiet atmosphere for reading a book in one of the cozy armchairs or piling up a dozen to peruse at one of the available tables. You're welcome to find the usual Pokemon-ified standard fare of books here; unfortunately, research-inclined people digging for secrets about the moon base, Pokemon, or other such nonfiction topics aren't likely to unearth anything of any particular note this time. Alas!
▶ THE MUSIC ROOM, which boasts a wide array of instruments available for the guests to make use of, including a grand piano, a few guitars (both acoustic and electric), and a general assortment of other choices from the brass, string, wind, and percussion families.
▶ THE SPA FACILITIES, where guests are welcome to unwind and relax in the various pools, hot tubs, and mineral baths available. Swimsuits and towels are provided in the built-in changing rooms for anyone interested in making use of the spa!
▶ THE ARCADE, containing plenty of video games, games of skill, and other such electronic amusements for patrons to pass the time away with. Skee-Ball and Dance Dance Eeveelution are, of course, particular standouts from the array, but there are plenty of other traditional games to be found in here. You can also find playing cards, board games, and other low-tech amusements in here, as well!
• CRYSTAL GARDEN AND TERRACE
A beautiful garden-like area filled with growing crystals located just outside the moon base, visible from the windows in the moon ballroom and accessible via a warm-lit terrace that leads out onto what appears to be the planet's surface itself. It appears that some unseen apparatus is maintaining an area of atmosphere over the expanse of the garden, rendering it safe for guests to wander and explore even without the benefit of space suits or oxygen tanks. However, being a part of the actual surface of the moon, it is possible that perusing among the crystals will net you an encounter with a wild Pokemon, so be careful where you tread among the crystals!
This is the only area where wild Pokemon can be battled and captured, and being that it is on the planet's surface, note also that this area is subject to reduced gravity, similar to the moon ballroom! The wild Pokemon you can find out here are as follows:
Cleffa, Clefairy, Clefable, Staryu, Starmie, Lunatone, Solrock, Elgyem,
Beheeyem, Jigglypuff, Togepi, Carbink, Boldore, Gigalith, Aron, Crustle
All Pokemon will be Level 20-30!
• HOLODECK
At first glance, the holodeck appears to be simply a vast open room criss-crossed with yellow grid lines, looming in the northwest corner of the moon base. However, once inside, a visitor may find that the holodeck is much more than it appears: a virtual reality facility capable of recreating familiar places by a combination of transported matter, replicated matter, tractor beams, and shaped force fields.
Though the holodeck comes with a variety of standard preprogrammed environments to play with and experience — an average beach, a deep forest, an unremarkable porch in someone's generic backyard — its greatest facet is its ability to recreate environments and places from its users' memories. Been missing home for a long time? The holodeck can take you (and your guests) back there — for as long as you've got it activated, at least. Please remember to use it sparingly and in small doses, lest you become addicted to the fantasy and not the reality!
(Mod Note: To clarify, the holodeck is here to indulge a character's (and by extension a player's) imagination. You are by no means limited to just the uses detailed above; if you'd like your character to fantasize about being in a 1920s gangster setting and play around with it as a prompt that takes place on the holodeck, you can feel free to do so! Note that the holodeck comes with safety features that will prevent a character from suffering serious injury (either from themselves, from the environment, or from other people using the holodeck simultaneously), but it is possible to get some bumps, bruises, and scrapes from the experience! Feel free to ask us if you're not sure what you can do with it, but generally speaking it's there to be played with, so don't hesitate to play with it!)
☆ IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER: ☆
• THE GENERAL PROM SCHEDULE IS AS FOLLOWS:
Friday, May 27th — Arrival at the Moon Base; FREE DAY FOR OPEN EXPLORING!
Saturday, May 28th — Red Carpet Moon Gala!

THE PROM-SPECIFIC INFOPOST | THE FOURTH-WALL-SPECIFIC INFOPOST | QUESTIONS AND INQUIRIES HOTLINE | WALK THE MOON
Heather Mason | Silent Hill
[A) REDUCED-G BALLROOM, shortly after arrival]
[There's a thud as Heather drops her bag on the floor, but not a thud as loud or hard as it could have been. Reduced gravity is cool like that.]
No way.
[Already in the suit and hat that she's worn to every prom (although her old standby, a signature Murkrow masquerade mask, is curiously absent! Maybe she forgot it? Or maybe, after all these years, she's outgrown the need for it), Heather is standing in the very middle of the ballroom, head craned back to take in the mind-boggling expanse of space above.]
[A yellow ball of bristly fluff comes crawling out of her collar and onto her shoulder-- Mully the Joltik is looking up too, all four of his blue eyes enormous. If they weren't so tiny, you could probably see the stars reflected in them-- both figurative and literal.]
[HOLY SHIT GUYS WE'RE IN SPACE!!!!]
[B) DORMS/SLEEPING AREA, not long after.]
Well, I sure am glad I decided not to do the whole Bad Kid Sells Alcohol at Prom shtick this time. Selling liquor without a license is illegal enough already, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't wanna deal with whatever additional charges would come with doing it past planetary borders.
[She says this aloud to whoever's nearby as she unpacks what little she brought up with her, laying her inventory out on the bunk. If she'd known the whole "IT'S GONNA BE OUT OF THIS WORLD!" tagline on the invitation was going to be literal, maybe she'd have... actually, you know what, she doesn't own ANYTHING appropriate for being in outer space. Maybe the point's moot.]
--Okay, yeah, that'll all fit in the tru-- Scarlet, get outta there! You can put that on when the dancing starts later, I spent a whole battle's worth of money on that and I don't want you losing it in space.
[She lifts the chubby Litleo (who croons protestingly) out of the open trunk, where she'd been pawing at a little bag of bowties and necklaces brought along for Heather's attending Pokemon. Speaking of...]
[C) DINING ROOM AND BUFFET, later that night.]
[The place is already PACKED by early evening, but THE PARTY DON'T START TILL THEY WALK IN.]
[And in this case 'they' is a troop of six Pokemon not taller than your average adult human's knee.]
[With a chorus of starstruck squeaks and growls, Hazel the Pikachu (looking very well-groomed, with the tuft between her ears neatly curled and the Eviolite pendant around her neck freshly polished), Blue the Deino (wearing a little neon-orange vest with the words BLIND POKEMON, DO NOT STARTLE!), Mully the Joltik (too small to have any accessories, but perched neatly on Blue's back and ready to give minor shocks to anyone who comes close to kicking or stepping on the little dragon by accident), Gilly the Fennekin (coaxed into wearing a pretty but sensible Pearl String necklace), Scarlet the Litleo (decked out in a bright pink tutu and about five Mardi Gras bead necklaces of violently-clashing colors), and Carat the shiny Litleo (all he's got is a little black vest and bowtie. He looks nervous. He always looks nervous) stand in the doorway and look on in delight.]
[The spell lasts maybe three minutes, but fortunately for everybody involved, rather than just galloping off into the fray madly like some of Heather's other Pokemon might have (there is a reason that Wren the Murkrow was not allowed to come to this ball), they instead toddle on into the crowd in a wiggly line, with Hazel at the front and the rest trailing along behind her like weird colorful ducklings.]
[They're relatively well-behaved, but well, they are Pokemon. And Pokemon have a knack for getting into trouble.]
[WILDCARD!!]
[Choose your own adventure! Feel free to encounter Heather and/or her Pokemon ANYWHERE AND ANYTIME throughout the prom! The only place Heather cannot be found in is the Holodeck-- like anyone from a place like Silent Hill, she's genuinely afraid of the sorts of things her imagination would conjure without even meaning to. Anywhere else? FAIR GAME! Hit me, ya animals!]
a;
But here he is, dazed and confused, in a strange place that, if his eyes aren't deceiving him, is located in space. And wearing a suit he doesn't remember putting on. And there are people milling about, going in and out of rooms, but Harry hangs back, not quite willing to ask anyone for an explanation least he make himself stand out.
And then he sees her and his stomach flips in a mixture of relief and terror. Whatever is happening here, it's not normal, and Harry has learned to have a great distrust of the strange and unusual. Especially when it pertains to his daughter. So he'll be walking over to her while she's distracted by the view and take her hand, only noticing the creature on her should a moment too late.]
We need to get out of here. Now.
[ooc: SH3 but before his death for extra pain. 8'D]
cries deeply
[Poor, poor, poor Harry Mason.]
[You've got a big storm coming, honey.]
[When he takes his daughter's hand, the little yellow fluff ball on her shoulder hums audibly. The little electric bug-type isn't exactly one of her battlers and his main job in the team thus far as been to act as a living anti-pickpocket/groping device by hiding in her pockets and delivering shocks when necessary. And he takes that job seriously! The Joltik scuttles around around on his tiny little legs to face the strange-- oh wait no! That's not a stranger! That's trainerdad!]
[Not surprisingly, Heather turns too.]
[What might be the surprising part, at least to Harry, will be her reaction.]
[Rather than looking alarmed or frightened at his urgency, her entire face lights up.]
Dad!!
[AND THEN THERE'S HUGGING. Mully actually has to scurry back into her collar in order to avoid getting smushed between them. Heather throws her arms around her father and delivers one of the crushing bear-hugs that he undoubtedly knows her for.]
a
[It's been too long.]
[Granted, he's not sure how long, or how he knows it's 'too long'. But that's the feeling. He's human for the moment, though whether that's a holo-form or not, he's not sure yet. Maybe he'll see in time.]
[There's a heavy hand light on her shoulder.]
Hey, kid.
[... okay not the best opener, but hey. At least it's classic Ironhide.]
no subject
[But maybe it's because she's blown away enough by the locale, or maybe she recognized those footsteps and just waited to see what he was going to do.]
[Either way, when she turns around, there's already a fond, crooked smile on her face. She wouldn't have wanted him to open any other way.]
Hey, old man.
[TIME. FOR A HUG.]
no subject
[Complete with scooping her up off her feet.]
no subject
[Laughing, she lets herself be picked up (he's one of the only people allowed to do that) and just tightens her own hug in return.]
I missed your ugly ol' mug!
'Bout time you showed it again!
[She knows he's made a habit of usually showing up on these weekends, but she wouldn't be Heather if she didn't tease.]
Guess who now holds all twelve Johto badges? That's right, this kid!

[But first, he's gotta snicker and respond:]
Yeah, what if you wound up in space jail? It'd be a whole lot harder to bust you out of that one. We'd have to build a rocket.
Hey, but guess what?
B
[But hey... the bunks do have curtains... so theoretically it would be impossible to tell if someone was missing from their bed... or if more than one person was in a different one...]
Exactly.
An entire rocket.
[She dumps a pocket containing toothbrushes and mouthwash out into the trunk.]
What?
no subject
[But they can work that out later, because for now there's that other something. Envy leans forward and taps right below one of his eyes, grinning even wider. Sure enough, the pupils are slit instead of their normal, human, round shape.]
Just look at my eyes. I know exactly how we all wound up on the moon like this.
no subject
--Aw shit, no way!
It's happening here, now?
[She's never been able to nail down the exact dates of those weird weekends, thanks to the fact that half of it always feels like a dream afterwards, but she knows for sure that they've never lined up with the Prom.]

Someone once told me that if you live long enough, you'll see everything. It makes you wonder what the next grand thing will be, doesn't it?
no subject
[Heather's too entranced to quite do a double-take, but she does look up to see who's talking and make this face: :O]
Jack!
[AND HE GETS A HUG TOO]
[HUGS FOR EVERYBODY! YOU GET A HUG! AND YOU GET A HUG!!]

[Blake walks up, trailed by his own posse of Snubbull, Musharna, Jumpluff, and Gallade, all dressed as fancy as you can get for things with nonstandard numbers of limbs.
He lifts his glass of champagne at her.] Looks like they knocked you out of the booze business. It makes sense, though, since it's here. They've got plenty of, what's the word.
[His growing, terrible grin says he knows the word and he is going to say it, and there is nothing you can do to stop him.]
no subject
[She bends down to give Steve the required Ear-Ruffle of Greeting, chuckling at the sight of the Snubbull all dolled up and wondering if those clip-on earrings might be from the box of accessories she and Wren had picked out to send a couple of Christmases ago.]
[Of course, when she straightens up, there is no sign of mirth on her face.]
[Blake.]
Don't you say it.
no subject
Blake doesn't look away. The grin on his face grows. It is too late.]
Oh, right.

[But it wasn't really that bad, all in all. He didn't know how long it had been (way too long, he guessed from the look of Pokemon he couldn't even identify) but a little while back here wouldn't hurt anything.]
[So, in nothing more formal than a turtleneck and trenchcoat one Doctor Hal Emmerich found himself wandering the goddamn moon with an Arbok trailing behind him.]
I really don't think anyone can enforce a liquor license in space, Heather.
no subject
[... Wait a minute.]
[She knows that voice but she hasn't heard it in a long time.]
[Surprised, she looks over her shoulder-- and her face lights up.]
Hal!
[Springing up from the crouching position she'd been in, she hurls her arms around the good doctor with gusto. IT'S HUG TIME BITCH]

Hey--looks like it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure we can handle space cops.

WILDCARD
[Moments later, it explodes outward to reveal:]
OH YEEEEEEEAH!
[HERE COMES THE KOOL AID MAN, HOLDING A GLASS OF REFRESHING KOOL-AID OUT TO HER]
no subject
[There it is.]
[The other arcane entity that has stalked her and others throughout the years on these crazy, crazy weekends.]
[But it's time to stop running.]
[It's time to face... the Kool-Aid Man.]
[Heather looks at the artificially-colored drink as a man on death row might consider the chair.]
... If I finally take this from you and drink it, what'll happen? Will I die, or just get a nasty aftertaste in my mouth?
WILDCARD PLZ
...well, how to put this delicately...
....She looked like what would happen if a human and a gyarados had a kid, that kid grew up, decided to go to prom, rented the cheapest tux she could find, and said 'fuck your expectations'.]
Hey. So. Uh.
[She walked up to Heather, trying to look as discreet as she possibly could. Which, let's be clear here, WAS NOT VERY.]
What's the equivalent of drinking like a fish, when one is a fish? Because I want that much to drink.
no subject
[Given her lack of the mask that had always been the trademark of her little alter-ego, and the lack of the shitty cooler she'd always transported her wares in, at first Heather just kind of... blinks at Undyne. The request is almost weirder than the other girl's appearance.]
--uh.
Well.
There... is a bar...
