☆ 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!)

THE PROM-SPECIFIC INFOPOST | THE FOURTH-WALL-SPECIFIC INFOPOST | QUESTIONS AND INQUIRIES HOTLINE | WALK THE MOON
Komasan | Youkai Watch | ota
[...Komasan's confused.
Not that being confused is anything new for him, but a lot is going on in that head of his. The most noticeable of them all is how he didn't change back for...some reason. It's not like he didn't realize what's going on, it's one of those weird weekends. He's heard about them before, he knows what happens. But apparently he's broken. How else do you describe it?
So the moment he could, he slipped away into the garden, as if to hide. It's not like he can't live without being a small, adorable dog thing, Johto's definitely taught him that. It's more like he, uh, kinda told just about everyone that he's supposed to be a small, adorable dog thing, and a part of him worries people might think he lied now that he can't prove it on the only day he could have proved it. Life sure is difficult.
At least the party's nice. It kinda reminds him of the festivals back home, only more...well, on the moon. It's probably why instead of wearing something you'd expect at, say, a ball, Komasan instead wears a larger version of his kimono. He honestly wouldn't have it any other way.
He's not alone in that either, his Dunsparce also dons a kimono tailored for a snake, one much more flashy and colorful because she just has to be the center of attention. And by center of attention, I mean bouncing about on her bottom in front of her trainer in an attempt to cheer him up. She feels like the center of attention as long as he's watching her.]
Ohh, Noko-chan... I'm gonna have to find you your own date at this rate, zura.
[Even as baffled as he is, it's hard not to smile when he has a fat snake trying to dance for him.]
B. Ballroom.
[Thankfully it doesn't take much to coax Komasan out of a funk, and he can be seen in the traditional ballroom frequently. Why wouldn't he? It's traditional.
Unfortunately it doesn't take much time before the music overwhelms him and he starts making a fool of himself.]
Everybody watch me, zura!!
[The usually timid Komasan practically screams before he begins to dance. Horribly. And he's not without his backup dancers, either. Noko is of course there, doing her best to imitate him without arms. Shiro, his Vanillish, also floats nearby and waves his stubby ice arms in unison, while one of Komasan's newer teammates — a tiny lotad — spins herself in circles besides her trainer. If anyone's having a good time, it's her. ...At least until the excitement wears off and she notices all the staring. ...Then she might slink behind Komasan.
Someone please stop him.]
C. Spa
[There's a spa on the moon, how can you not go to the spa on the moon? Thankfully his trip to Cianwood has conditioned Komasan to accept swimsuits, so there's no horrible awkwardness when he puts one on and jumps into one of the pools.
Literally just jumps into the pool.]
MONGE!!
[Apparently treating the spa more like a playground, Komasan has no problem splashing water around like an idiot and generally ignoring the whole "relaxing" idea. His partner in crime is his Lotad again, the water Pokemon using her lily pad to glide across the water's surface as best as she can despite the waves her trainer makes.
The others, however, can only watch from a distance, knowing full well they can't stop this madness. They're so sorry.]
D. Wildcard
[THERE'S SO MANY OPTIONS, Komasan will eventually hit up everything at some point or another. Feel free to bump into him or drag him off to other areas.]
B
When the song ends, Chihiro applauds him softly, as does Shiruku. Zip even gives a few trilling beeps himself.]
Hehe, that was very good!
no subject
In fact, he looks thrilled to see him, and even Komasan's Pokemon hurry over towards Chihiro's to mingle with their own kind. Although... Komasan's group isn't nearly as large, oh the woes of owning mostly gigantic Pokemon.]
Heh... Thank you, z-zura...
[A hand is thrown behind his head as he rubs it just a little. Okay, he might be a little bashful right now.]
...I'm sorry...I ran off ahead without you, zura.
[There's also that. That was kind of a dick move.]
no subject
[And it's fun watching people enjoying themselves, even if he's not all that interested in dancing himself.]
Prom is always like this...but it's never been on the moon, before.
no subject
I'm sure if it was, you would've told me, zura.
[Seems like the kinda thing you'd share at least once.]
It's nothing like I imagined... [Even when you take away the whole moon thing.] ...but it's still very nice, zura. Did...u-um...did you want to anything...zura?
no subject
[He tips his head a little to the side as he thinks, his other Pokemon occupied with speaking to Komasan's.]
I was going to visit the crystal garden. I haven't been out there yet, but I didn't really want to go alone...
[Because moon, and all.]
Would you like to come with me?
no subject
Monge! I'd go there a million times with you, Chihiro, it's so pretty--
[He stops himself, maybe...maybe he shouldn't spoil everything. Not everyone ran off the moment they got here like he did, after all.]
W-Well maybe you should see for yourself, zura.
no subject
Let's go, then! It probably isn't very crowded right now since so many people are in here dancing.
no subject
It'd finally give him the chance to ask something that's been bothering him for some time now. Wasting it is not an option.]
We should hurry... b-before everyone else gets the same idea, zura. [A bit boldly, he takes Chihiro by the hand to lead him, much like he has before.] It's this way, zura!
no subject
After that, he looks back to Komasan with a soft smile, allowing him to lead the way.]
1/2
It feels like forever for Komasan, there's a million things going on in his mind at once, and navigating a people maze doesn't help that any. Several times he tries to map out his plan of action, only to realize last second he's not paying attention and almost plows into someone.
Despite it all, the trek to the garden isn't nearly as long as his mind makes it out to be, and soon enough the two of them get there. Komasan lets go the moment they do, timidly sticking his hands into the sleeves of his kimono. He doesn't say much of anything at first, rather giving Chihiro some time to soak in the view of such an unnatural, glowing garden. Komasan's already seen it, so it's not nearly as exciting as the first time--
Who am I kidding, this is Komasan, of course he loves it like he's seeing it for the first time.]
Monge...
[Do not run do not run do not run do not run do not run do not run do not run]
2/2
MONGE!! Look at it, zura!! Look at how blue this one is, zura--
MOOOONNGEE!! This one is huge, zu--
MOOOOOONNNNGEEE!! I can't believe how bright this one is, zura!!
[He's seen them, all of them, and yet he still can't help himself. So much so that Komasan completely forgets he had an important question to ask.]
why are you such a cute Komasan GOD
...Chihiro just giggles before following him as best he can, his eyes practically sparkling with mirth. It's happier than he feels like he's been in quite a while, considering how things have been the last few months...so wild and unpredictable. Komasan's innocent joy does wonders to make all of that go away.]
It's very pretty, isn't it?
no subject
Don't you wish we had something like this back--
[Wait. Wait no. This was supposed to be serious, the perfect backdrop so to speak. Pretty is exactly the point, but there's not gonna be a point if he keeps messing around.
Slowly, so slowly, Komasan's smile fades, a hand rubbing the back of his neck. It's either now or never, he may never get a chance like this again.]
A-Actually...I kinda wanted to talk to you Chihiro... zura.
no subject
He tilts his head a little, letting his hands fold into the sleeves of his Kimono.]
Okay. Do you want to sit somewhere?
no subject
Y-Yeah, sure, there's a spot over here, zura.
[He gently takes Chihiro's hand again as he motions his head towards two of the larger crystals. The way they overlap each other, it almost looks like a makeshift arbor. There's definitely a space back there, great for privacy.]
no subject
Though, as they get there, he does seem to notice that Komasan's acting a little strange. There's that stutter, for one thing.]
Is everything alright?
no subject
M-Maybe... To be honest, I'm not really sure, zura...
no subject
[Chihiro's expression falls just a little as he sits next to Komasan, letting his hands fold in his lap.]
But...I thought you were having fun?
no subject
[A pause.
Komasan calms himself down, his expression more somber as he stares at his own hands that now rest in his lap as well. He's not gonna get anywhere if he keeps getting sidetracked like this.]
It's...not about the party, zura... I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, and they leave me really confused, zura...
no subject
[If it's not about the party...then what could it be? Komasan isn't one to worry or fret over things- at least not for a long time- so Chihiro's having a hard time imagining what it might be. He isn't going to rush him, though, prepared to be patient with his friend.]
You said you wanted to talk, right? You know you can tell me anything, Komasan-chan.
no subject
[He gives a sort of sigh through his nose as he somehow manages to look even lower. Not that being able to tell Chihiro anything is a problem in itself, but that it made him do something he very rarely does. Think a lot.]
You know how I feel...about everything, zura. [Granted, some of it was on accident--THANKS FRIDAY--but still. Everything.] But...
[He hesitates, confrontation is not his strong point. Could this hurt Chihiro's feelings? That's the last thing Komasan ever wants to do, especially at a party. ...On the moon. But he already started, turning back would probably make things worse.]
...I never really know how you feel, zura. A-And I guess that scares me a little, because sometimes...sometimes I worry...that you do these things with me...because you don't wanna hurt my feelings...because you're so nice, zura...
...I don't even know what to tell people when they ask about us, zura.
no subject
He has to wonder...he hasn't been using him unintentionally, has he? No, that...that can't be.]
...that's not it at all.
[He finally says, quietly. He's always quiet, but it's a little...moreso, right now.]
To be honest, I...I really like spending time with you. Ever since my classmates have gone home...I've been happier than I have been in a while. I really don't want anything to happen to that.
[He's honestly scared Komasan's going to leave, next, and then...that will be it, really. And Chihiro already knows he has nothing waiting for him if he goes home.
There's nothing waiting for the dead, after all.]
I'm sorry if you've felt like I haven't been...sincere. I-I...know that isn't fair. I've been thinking a lot, too, since...since that Friday.
no subject
So Chihiro really is happy, happier than he's ever been apparently. How do you even go about hearing something like that? Him. Making someone that happy. He'd smile for starters, the edges of his mouth even twitching as he starts to, but...he's just a bit too surprised by what he hears to break into a full blown grin just yet.]
...You have, zura?
[With the way things went on, Komasan just assumed they were pretending like it never happened. ]
no subject
Mhmm. We really...should have talked about this when it happened.
[But there's nothing they can do about that now. It's done and over with, but at least they are talking about it.]
Do...you still feel that way, Komasan-chan?
