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!

Saigusa Haruka | Little Busters! | DRRP R3 CRAU

[whenever and also wherever]

[Haruka panicked at first. She ran around the venue, checked herself over, looked suspiciously at the vents. But once she tracked down her friends, hugged them tightly, and reminded herself that what she'd immediately thought of was not what was going on, she was having fun. A lot of fun.

You can find her all over the place, wearing a dress she doesn't remember and carrying a beat-up messenger bag full of stuff. A Psyduck with a little red ribbon on his head is following her around, quacking happily and occasionally playing with a rock. Haruka and Meringue flit from place to place, spinning around by themselves on the dance floor, trying and failing at instruments in the music room, and playing every game in the arcade -- Feed Big Bear-tha is a lot more friendly when you're throwing the little balls at a Snorlax instead.]
throatofeternity: (May angels lead you in)

[personal profile] throatofeternity 2016-05-28 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[HAVE A SMALL VERY THIN PINK CHILD, HARUKA. She watches Haruka play games for a while because... well, she's never actually played a video game, so. Her Spiritomb stands behind her, just as curious.]

You're really good at that!
mopocalypse: (life is an adventure)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2016-05-28 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Haruka looks up from Poké-fied Frogger and waves. She steps to the side.]

Thanks a lot! You want to try? You just get the Froakie to hop across the road and stuff to try and get to his home.
throatofeternity: (I'd sing to you just one more time)

[personal profile] throatofeternity 2016-05-28 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! Thank you very much!

[And a moment or two of figuring out how the joystick works later, her Froakie is off! Until she times a jump poorly and loses a life and her hands fly right the heck up to her mouth.]

Oh no!
mopocalypse: (just won't listen)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2016-05-28 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Ehe. Don't worry, it's hard to do at first. And it goes on forever! Have you played any of these before?
throatofeternity: (God wouldn't let it live)

[personal profile] throatofeternity 2016-05-28 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lil shakes her head.]

No, I haven't. I've only been outside once before this.
mopocalypse: (was that what i think it was)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2016-05-28 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Small gasp.] You haven't... what kind of place were you in? Wait, that's really prying, huh. I'm sorry. I hope nothing goes wrong for you, I mean, that no one...
throatofeternity: (On sleepless roads the sleepless go)

[personal profile] throatofeternity 2016-05-28 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay. My parents just never let me out of my room, that's all. [N-No big...] The outside world is just as wonderful as I knew it would be.
mopocalypse: (this is where we cry isn't it)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2016-05-28 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
That's... [She shakes her head.] I know you don't wanna hear this and you're gonna want to make it sound normal, but it's not. No matter what reason they said they have.
throatofeternity: (And if you were with me tonight)

[personal profile] throatofeternity 2016-05-29 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe, but... they're gone now. [Her smile fades but doesn't vanish completely as she keeps playing the game - she doesn't do the being sad thing, after all.] I'd rather live in the outside world while I can.
mopocalypse: (sadness well hidden)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2016-05-29 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah. [She nods.] I get that. It's like you're free and you can do whatever you want. There's a bunch of kids like us here, we understand that.
throatofeternity: (Hear you me my friends)

[personal profile] throatofeternity 2016-05-29 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! And now I'm here, so I can keep living. [The second part of that does catch her attention, though.] Really?
mopocalypse: (prepare yourself)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2016-05-29 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
My friends! I guess we all sorta ended up at this party? We were worried for a while, but it's way better than the last time we all got randomly kidnapped to another world, which let's not talk about that because parties are way more fun. Have you tried any of the food yet?
throatofeternity: (On sleepless roads the sleepless go)

[personal profile] throatofeternity 2016-05-29 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
I had some when I got here! I hadn't eaten in a long time, so it was nice. [She was... in the middle of starving when she got here oops???]
mopocalypse: (you at the end of this game)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2016-05-29 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[this just gets worse and closer to "I have known you five minutes and you are an honourary disaster child"]

For serious? I mean -- yeah. This seems like a nice place. Somewhere you can live and do whatever you want. It's good to go somewhere like that.
throatofeternity: (May angels lead you in)

[personal profile] throatofeternity 2016-05-29 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Well she is incapable of feeling despair, sort of. Which is why she still sounds so happy.]

Yeah. I thought I was probably going to die, but... I guess this is like a second chance. Even if I would rather be on Earth than look at it from the moon, it's beautiful either way.
mopocalypse: (go team weird people)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2016-05-29 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
I've never been to space before, either! Well, there was this one time I thought we were in space, but we were just in a different world. On Earth. And it kinda sucked most of the time, but at least we weren't in space. There's a ton of people, though, think they actually have enough beds for everyone?
throatofeternity: (And if you were with me tonight)

[personal profile] throatofeternity 2016-05-29 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's really incredible. I didn't even think there could be more than one Earth out there before this, but... now I'm on the moon of an entirely different one, playing a video game.
mopocalypse: (do you think?)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2016-05-29 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
There's, like, tons! It's some kind of scientific theory, I guess? My sister goes on about it when she reads advanced textbooks for fun.
throatofeternity: (May angels lead you in)

[personal profile] throatofeternity 2016-05-29 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. I'd love to see them... that sounds wonderful.
mopocalypse: (veeeeery interesting)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2016-05-29 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it is! I think Ryouji-kun was gonna show us what his old world looked like in that hologram room.
throatofeternity: (On sleepless roads the sleepless go)

[personal profile] throatofeternity 2016-05-29 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like fun. [She likes you, uh...] Oh! My name is Lil. What's yours?
mopocalypse: (good morning san francisco)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2016-05-29 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Haruka! I'm Saigusa Haruka. My Psyduck here is Meringue! [He looks up when his name is mentioned and quacks, rolling a rock around on the ground.] Nice to meet you, Lil-san! I hope this place stays fun, you know? There's a lot to do here.
throatofeternity: (God wouldn't let it live)

[personal profile] throatofeternity 2016-05-29 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Haruka. Nice to meet you! I'm sure it will, it's so incredible just being here, after all.

So what's the world you come from like, Haruka?
mopocalypse: (what else can i find here?)

[personal profile] mopocalypse 2016-05-29 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's a nice place, I think. I mean, there's still bad people and stuff, but I have friends, and we like to make every day fun. It's the kind of world where sometimes a miracle will happen eventually. --Yahaha. I dunno, that didn't explain anything at all, did it?
