☆ 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:

THE PROM-SPECIFIC INFOPOST | THE FOURTH-WALL-SPECIFIC INFOPOST | QUESTIONS AND INQUIRIES HOTLINE | WALK THE MOON
Ashley | Until Dawn
[Why the hell are they on the moon. Ashley had debated back and forth for hours on if she'd accept the invitation, and she's kind of offended that it left out this rather important detail? Seems she's in a bit of a mood over all of this- or maybe it's just being here in general. Seeing a sudden influx of new people (that weekend Dave told her about), seeing others interacting with their friends. It leaves her a little cold.
In an attempt to try and cheer up, she'll explore. Wandering about the leisure rooms, taking note in particular of the library and arcade. Perhaps the dorms? Where she'll be sleeping for the next few days, maybe that'll cheer her up!
...Incidentally, a little Phantump will be following her around for the majority of the day and she, in contrast to previous encounters, she seems more bored than afraid of it. They're reached an accord.]
[B] SATURDAY - Ballrooms
[As it turns out, Ashley skipped her school's prom, so this is kind of like...a second chance. In a lot of ways. She's a bit of a wallflower at times, but her mood's much improved from yesterday, for some reason, and it seems she's waiting for someone. In her long dress, it's a little silly to see her, bouncing on her...admittedly non-existent heels, she's not that great at walking in those things. Shyly twirling her hair (no hat, what a surprise), positively radiating a strange energy. Likely, she'll be accompanied by two boys, or one or the other, in laughably casual clothing compared to her extravagant get up. Ashley doesn't really seem to mind either way.
She mostly sticks to the main ballroom, but maybe, if coaxed, she could try the one with reduced gravity. Have to be careful with her dress, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
At times when she's alone, that energy might dry up to a distant, wistful melancholy. It doesn't last for too long, though. Really.]
[C] SUNDAY - Crystal Garden and Terrace
[Most of the time, she'll be with... Well, her boys. She's well aware of what will happen after this, but Ashley's going to make the best of it, right?
There comes a time when she has to have some alone-time, however, or at least attempted alone-time, and for that she chooses to go out onto the goddamn moon surface itself. It's beautiful, and a little terrifying...but more awe-inspiring. From the terrace to the crystals, where she might just encounter a wild Pokémon, Ashley takes the chance to explore this little area out of science fiction movie.]
[D] - WILD CARD
[Or throw me a prompt! The one place Ashley is very much avoiding is the Holodeck, as she does not want to see what her memories can cook up, but she'll be at least around most places. If you have ideas hit me up at
OKAY YOU ASKED FOR IT, HERE'S B
It kind of relieves the tension a bit when she realizes this isn't some kind of horrible hostage situation and it's just a bizarre party of some kind? On the moon, you know, as one does. And at the very least, her mysterious fun-loving captor had the decency to give her something appropriate to wear to the occasion, though a dress like this doesn't exactly suit her. Bit over-the-top for her, as much as she's fond of red, but it's certainly not bad, as gaudy as she finds it, and it goes well with the red hat that she's grown so fond of. ...It's not exactly the most formal accessory, especially since, if one looks closely, some of the yarn is a bit stretched out. But poor Asuka's mostly just afraid she'll wind up losing it somewhere, and that would be absolutely inexcusable; there's no better place to keep it than on top of her head, where it's not going anywhere.
She looks a bit out of her element; being in a room with this many strangers is a bit daunting, since she doesn't really know what the expectations of her are. And as sad as it is, she's never really been to a party like this, even putting the whole damn moon thing. So she's just a bit nervous...until, out of the corner of her eye, Asuka sees a certain wallflower she recognizes, and just like that...
Huh. Of all the damn places. Suddenly, it's almost like there's a weight off her shoulders. With Ashley, at least, Asuka knows she doesn't have to worry about things like impressions or being judged for anything, and catching up in a place like this would be lovely; it's been so long, after all. At the very least, she'll come over and say hello... ]
Hey there, stranger. Didn't think I'd find you here.
[ If there's something wrong with this situation, Asuka hasn't processed it yet, but it may be a bit strange for Ashley to hear the aloof Captain of the European Air Force so...casual. Her guard is totally down, it's clear in her features, and it's a far cry from the disgruntled and distant voice she's heard over the Gear, the one that forces people to maintain arm's length distance from her, even in casual conversation. This isn't "you're not bad company;" the way she's talking to her now, full eye contact with two eyes (question mark exclamation point) and even a trace of a smile (what the actual fuck), this is "You're my friend." ]
The dress looks good on you. Maroon's a good color.
[ Of course she'd think that, she's so pretentious, it's fucking red... ]
oh no i'm already hurt
The voice addressing her isn't one she expects. At first, Ashley isn't quite sure it is addressing her, but she does recognize it. Spoken over text, audio, occasional video. Asuka, the Captain who looks so much younger than she is, who she's had some surprisingly philosophical conversations with. The unexpected factor means she jumps just slightly, but it's mostly because she has so much energy. Nothing can remove the smile from her face.]
Oh! Oh, thank you, I uh, I thought it would be...
[...Aaaand here's where Ashley raises her head and looks Asuka in the eye- eyes, which is a definite change from their video chat and registers just how strange this feels. The tone of voice, the appearance. The body language. She's no expert on people, a far cry from one, but the person she's talking to right now seems like a completely different girl (outside the obvious and there are two eyes change).]
Uhmm. [She keeps smiling but a hint of confusion's taken root at the corners of her lips.] Yeah, it was kind of hard to...decide, but it was in my price range...
[Feeling awkward? Why not gently overshare? Especially since Asuka seems so comfortable with her. It's almost like the atmosphere's tricking her into being comfortable too.]
sorry not sorry
But as she looks her over, she can't help but glance upwards, just for a second...either the scar (that scar) wasn't as permanent as hers is (though she has the good sense to have tried to cover up her own thick one, the sign of the strain of a rope wrapped tight around her windpipe, with a necklace), or she's way better with makeup than she expected, to be able to cover something like that up so seamlessly.
When she looks back at Ashley, her expression is just a bit more sheepish, and a little more confused, herself. ]
Price range? ...You bought it yourself before you came here? I'm surprised you had enough time to do that beforehand, seeing as though I was kind of just whisked here from my room. I think you did good, though. This was actually picked out for me by, um...whoever the hell it was that brought us here, I didn't catch a name and it's not like there was an invite, but...I mean, it's better for this sort of thing than what I usually wear, that's for sure.
[ She motions to the dress she's wearing, with a hint of embarrassment (another emotion some may have thought she was incapable of having), and she can't help but try and straighten it out a bit... ]
...But I don't think it fits me very well. I never was all that big on dresses like this...just feels a little weird. Y'know, too fancy. Between you and me, I've never actually been to a big party like this before...
[ Sure, there have been opportunities, but, she avoided them all. Big social functions absolutely weren't her thing, and they still aren't, judging by the fact that she seems just a bit uncomfortable, especially in her heels. Can't pass up a chance to be taller. ]
Not too much of a fan of crowds, as I'm sure you can imagine. Mein Gott, though, the moon, of all places...

[He looks up in time for one of the rocks he's been kicking to go spinning by the girl's shoulder and he cringes until he's sure it didn't actually hit her. Even in the low grav that probably wouldn't have felt great.]
Sorry 'bout that.
no subject
Anyway, she's just prone to getting lost in thought sometimes, so Ralph's surprise soccer rock catches her off guard, resulting in a small squeak and jump...sending her a little into the air, oh this feels weird.]

[So there is an actual, literal monster child trotting around the moonbase barefoot, seein' the sights. He cares less that they're on the moon (something he has little context for to begin with-- he's been told about the planets, sure, but to him they've still always just been funny lights in the sky at night) and more that there's so much on the moon!]
[The arcade in particular has snagged his attention pretty thoroughly.]
[So thoroughly that when Ashley walks in at some point, he doesn't even notice her. He is too busy literally being ON TOP OF the Whack-a-Diglett game, wildly pouncing and batting at the little robotic mole Pokemon popping up out of their holes.]
[Wrath that's not how the game works]
[Wrath you're supposed to use a hammer]
no subject
Regardless.
Ashley is just the kid of girl to awkwardly shuffle up and clear her throat and raise her finger to try and get his attention, excuse me honey uhhhhh]
You- uh, you'd probably have better- Wrath? Uh....
no subject
Come back!!
[He shouts this directly into one of the holes, literally right as poor Ashley shuffles up and starts to speak.]
[Immediately after that, as though heeding his call, the plastic Diglett pops up and nails him right in the eye. He recoils with a yelp.]

FRIDAY - LIBRARY
[While he likes reading books well enough, he's more prone to using them for arts and crafts instead. Edward can be found very very carefully creating detailed sculptures from the pages of a large encyclopedia.]
no subject
...Funny? Amusing? Tinged with a small shred of irony?
'Cause see, she hates them. And she's entirely and completely the kind of person who unfortunately, when she hears a weird noise, slowly and trepidatiously and instinctively goes to check it out, while the unheard audience hisses desperately for her to turn back. Yeah. She's that kind of cliché.
Luckily, this isn't the kind of situation where she would become a shish kebab, or be, you know, ambushed by a terrifying monster, because what a horrible occurrence that would be! Ha. Instead, all amped up with anxiety, she approaches...from an angle where she can just see a familiar weedy form, along with forlorn scraps of paper.]
...Edward...? Is that you? What are you...?
[Why would anyone hurt a perfectly good book.]
no subject
[Edward startles--but only just so. A quiet gasp, a twitch of his arms. He looks up and at least has the sense to look a little guilty. He gingerly lifts the book with his wicked hands and turns so she can see what he's been making.]
I didn't know what else to do.

But for real, though, take away the hat, put her in some other clothes, maybe make her look nervous. Yeah. That's gotta be Ashley.]
Damn. [He grins at her, warm and not at all about to bring up her stint as a child and his stint as a less amnesic version of himself.] Looks like you brought a date along. Lucky him.
no subject
Ashley + fancy dresses isn't a common occurrence. Ashley + a date is even less of one, but she recognizes the voice, and she puts one and two together and certainly comes out with three, and-]
O-oh! Church, hi-- [the last time I saw you you were incredibly nice and I was incredibly small and talking about that would be much more comfortable than talking about this at least on my end] u-um, thank you, I- he's a friend from home.
[She doesn't exactly object to the word date but Chris. doesn't really know about certain things so.....]

FRIDAY
He glances up, grins (??) the second he recognizes her, and gives her a small wave.]
Hey, Ashley.
[Teeth. Many sharp, shiny teeth. Not quite wendigo-level but maaaaybe a bit more unintentionally terrifying than either of them would like? Oops.]
no subject
Her eyes linger on the teeth...but they're all together. Not overgrown like that wendigo's. Instantly, it's enough to relax.]
So, this is what trolls look like, huh?
no subject
Yeah. Like I said, we're pretty similar to humans. The weirdest thing was always your species' lack of horns.
[He touches his own as he says it, and thank god, yes, they're still here. They're as practically nonexistent as they always were, but they're still here.]
I'm not sure how the fuck that happened, but I guess it's because we created your universe? Except you're mammals and you don't have quadrants, which is still absurd.
[... why is it back to quadrants again wow, maybe he should say something else for a change?? Jesus.]
So, uh, how are you enjoying the moon?

C
That and the return of her Soul Perception plus visitors is a little new.
Said perception tells her immediately that there's another soul coming her way, so she glances up to see who it is.]
Ah…Ashley? [Being dressed up all fanciful makes recognition dubious.] Hi there, all partied out?
no subject
...Even though they're at a fancy party and okay look it's not a rational or reasonable thing to think she knows this.
The point is, it surprises her, therefore, to see Maka as well in her fancy clothes. It's on both ends that there's some recognition delay.] Maka! Hi, um. No, no, just getting some air, you know?
no subject
[That's silly, this is silly.]
Nah, I get you. I'm not really into parties and stuff myself, so I figured if nobody needed me for anything I'd get some reading out of the way.

Sunday
That is to say, there's a lot, but she's kinda tired from partying, man. But when she notices who else is around, even her wings perk up a tad.]
Ashley! [Just gonna hop over to the older girl, an arm outstretched and waving.] You made it to the party too!
no subject
It's fine. There's enough to worry about right now. Just turning to say hi to Rakka, for example, with a small jump in her step, pops her up into the air, just briefly. Oops.] Rakk- ah, oh damn it. Yeah, I wasn't sure I would but...
[...wings. halo.]
...You're a Haibane again.
no subject
And she felt even better now, seeing yet another one of her friends enjoying themselves. Seeing Ashley again at all, after the call they'd had was already better.]
...Ehehe! That's right. [Yes, wings and a halo. The whole shebang. Rakka makes them flap, just a bit. They're not big enough to fly, but they put a spring in her step...] So, do I really look like an angel now?
