☆ 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!

THE PROM-SPECIFIC INFOPOST | THE FOURTH-WALL-SPECIFIC INFOPOST | QUESTIONS AND INQUIRIES HOTLINE | WALK THE MOON
Riku | Kingdom Hearts
[They're on the moon. They're on the actual moon.
Riku's trying to contain himself. Trying to keep a calm expression. Trying to relax, but his inner child has drawn him out to the low gravity ballroom. His Charizard snorts as he glances around, tapping his chin, looking up, contemplating if he should indulge himself.
Flare doesn't give him a choice. No, he knows Riku well enough to realize that his stubbornness often acts to his detriment. So what does he do?
He grabs Riku, shoots up to get some altitude...
Except with gravity the way it is, he shoots up and... smacks into the ceiling, dropping Riku in the process.
So now there is a falling young man trying his best to steady himself, while momentum remains outside of his control.]
Hey, look out below!
[It's a warning to anyone who may be dancing or otherwise enjoying the area within his general vicinity.]
Garden;
[It's one thing to experience the moon from inside, but outside is even more breathtaking. Riku finds himself lost in the glittering crystals and flowing pools.]
Man, it's like we stepped into another world...
[How tempting it is to find a crystal shard and take it home. He even circles some of the gems, looking down to see if fit's possible.
Still, one thing puzzles him, so to any passersby, he can't help but wonder.]
Wonder where this all come from. I mean, isn't it weird how we're only just finding out about this place?
Holodeck;
[It's been six years, so of course he's homesick. He'd never admit it, but he is... And for that reason, he's found himself creating a place of nostalgia. Palms sway in the breeze. Gulls flock among the clouds.
The waves lick the shore...
Really, it's no different from the other beaches in Johto or Kanto, at least on a basic level, but to Riku, it's a piece of his home.
He can be found in a few places, lounging on the Paopu Tree, wandering through a small cave...
He carries a training sword in hand-- another projection, but to any curious souls, he may turn to them and ask for a spar.]
Wild Card;
[Riku will be all over, so feel free to make your own prompts! Also note that he is twenty-one years old as of now, so significantly older than in canon.]
Holodeck
Riku-san?
[ Raising her voice just loud enough to be heard, she takes a step toward him, leaving a bootprint behind her in the sand. ]
Is this your home?
no subject
Mimi...
[Heh. He shouldn't be surprised. It was the right time for people to start pouring in.]
Well, this is part of it, anyway. Some view, right?
no subject
It's beautiful.
[ Her voice is quiet. ]
Where are we?
no subject
[Sighing, he folds his arms, watching the waves meet the shore.]
It's... well, part of Destiny Islands. Guess you could say it's a "play island," since you usually don't see any adults around here.
Garden
[Heather is hanging out in a vaguely nestlike cluster of crystals, her legs hanging out at the knees and her head leaned back to rest against the cool, smooth surface.]
[Heather has had a few drinks.]
[Heather is really not questioning anything anymore.]
[She lifts a champagne glass that's mostly empty.]
To... here.
Shine on, you crazy diamond.
no subject
Living life on the wild side? Haven't really tried the drinks yet...
[But she's right. The crystals aren't that weird, all things considered.]
no subject
[She's not even that drunk, but it's easy to get swept up in the excitement of this place. She has no overwhelming reason to be serious.]
But you totally should, they clearly spared no expenses on that thing. Whoever put this place together has way better taste than those prudes in the Elite Four.
no subject
[He vaguely recalls her selling something, anyway. It's been a while, and though he remembers a lot, not every detail lingers.]
Still, any drinks you'd recommend? I'll put 'em on my shortlist at least.
no subject
[Of course, her 'own' booze was actually just a stockpile of stuff she'd bought cheaply elsewhere and was then making a mint off of, courtesy of the fact that most other people did not think to bring their own. Ah, those were the days.]
Well, I had something called a Margotharita, which was like... black licorice vodka with cake-flavored liqueur and salt on the rim? It SOUNDS disgusting, but it wasn't half bad.
There was also something called the Draco Meteor that they like, set on fire in front of you and do a whole show, which I ALMOST tried but then I chickened out. Too intense.
no subject
[Shrugging, he lets out a tiny laugh. It's odd to imagine, but he'll have to take her word on it.]
I sure hope the fire goes out before you actually drink it, otherwise that's probably too intense for my tastes.
no subject
I got up to the counter just in time to see some giant muscular guy wearing belts of machine gun bullets throw two back at once, fire and all, and then just start screaming.
And that's when Wild Heather fled the battle.
These weekends are nuts.

Ballroom
[He's probably going to get hit, and he's probably going to deserve it, but oh well.]
no subject
Try as he may, Riku can't seem to slow his descent. He goes down, down, down...
And promptly crashes into Joker. At least he had someone to break his fall, and at least the lower gravity means he wasn't quite a cannon ball.]
You know, I tried to warn you.
no subject
Ta be fair, I didn't hear 'em.
[And then ignored common sense.]
no subject
Heh. Well, now we know not to let flying types try and cart us around out here.
[There's a grunt from above as Flare wobbles back down, flapping a touch clumsier than before.]
no subject
Psychic types are helpful, 'tho, so I'm glad I brought Angel with me again, ha.
no subject
[He snorts, watching as Flare finally thumps to the floor, rubbing his back all the while.]
Well, at least that's all powered by the mind. With gravity being what it is, it's no wonder Flare crashed and burned.
[Cue some grumbling from the Charizard. That pun kinda sucked.]
no subject
[Chuckling, Joker tries to regain his footing.]
Been savin' that pun for a while?

Holodeck
of course, he also knows where Riku is as well. it shouldn't surprise either of them that Sora's swinging himself over that tree to sit down. there's only one difference now. ]
It's weird, seeing my feet closer to the ground.
no subject
I know, right? Always thought you'd stay a pipsqueak forever.
[Teasing? You bet. It's a time honored tradition.]
no subject
[ taking that teasing and returning it in kind!
of course it is going to help him with his own nerves. they're kind of jumbled under the surface. he hasn't had anything to eat because Sora's stomach is also doing flips and there's no way he's going to ruin it all by throwing up everywhere.
that'd... kind of not be good. ]
no subject
[He puffs his chest out, trying to emphasize just how confident he is about his stature... despite occasionally bumping his head on things.
He doesn't suspect a thing.]
no subject
[ so that doesn't mean anything, Riku. stop trying to pretend that it does.
Sora leans and nudges Riku with his shoulder, playfully. it's funny because even though Sora is kind of fidgety at the moment, the sunset brings back so many memories. ]
You miss home, huh?
no subject
[He gives a playful nudge, though his expression soon sobers, and he looks away.]
I... just a little. I mean, it's been a while, so that's to be expected, right?
