'Cause Baby, Tonight The DJ's Got Us Falling In Love Again...
Who: EVERYONE
Where: Scenic Tohjo Falls!
When: Friday, April 5 through Saturday, April 6
Summary: WHAT SUMMARY DO YOU NEED, IT'S POKEPROM
Rating: May vary by thread, please mark accordingly!
Log:
It's here! It's here! Clair's first-ever (and, Lance hopes, last-ever) Pokemon Prom is here, coming to you straight from scenic Tohjo Falls! You've packed your bags, you've hitched your rides, and now you're taking your first steps in to a super swank palatial PokeManor where, prior to now, only the pseudo-legendary best of the best had ever tread. Gosh, that must make you pretty special, huh? (Well, you and everyone else in the massive crowd that arrived along with you, that is.) Of course, you're all destined for greatness. But at the moment, your more immediate destiny is forty-eight hours of fun.
So get going!

☆ YOU ARE HERE ☆
KEY:
• BLUE areas are where the bulk of the party's events will be located! As you can see, the festivities will be taking place largely outdoors, and the grounds will reflect that; there'll be the usual decorations of pretty floral arrangements, little lights, things like that. Think garden party!
• GREEN areas are where guests will be staying overnight! Unfortunately, you'll be sleeping-bagging it up, since this is a house party and not a hotel party, but this is where you'll be given space to leave your possessions, claim some sleeping room, and generally crash for the night once the festivities do you in. (Note: you're welcome to try to sleep elsewhere, but Clair might catch you and disapprove. You don't want that, do you?)
• RED areas are unfortunately off-limits to guests! If asked about them, anyone will tell you that those are the rooms and areas that the Elite Four have claimed for themselves, and they're sealed off tight. Please don't try to break into them anyway; you'll only be caught and punished.
• AREA A is the designated Indoor Ballroom area, for the people who would prefer to class it up a little more than just your standard garden party. There's a big skylight, hardwood floors, tasteful artwork, and classy music — a little more upscale than the shenanigans going on outside, for the people who'd rather that kind of thing.
• AREA B will be the area of interest for anyone hoping to sneak a little Pokemon research on the side: this is the Library/Gallery area of the house. While most of it is your standard "tall shelves of ancient identical books" fare, there are a few points of interest — a sculpture of Lugia, a painting of the Ecruteak City skyline before the Brass Tower burned down, some stone etchings of what might be Fossil Pokemon, and so on. Guests are welcome to look around a little, but burying themselves in research the whole time will be highly frowned upon, and you'll be politely encouraged to leave the library alone and go rejoin the festivities if you hole up in there for too long.
• AREA C is...well, the Parking Lot. More importantly, it's where you take your Pokemon battles if you simply gotta get your battle on; keep it out and away from the house, please, and try not to make too much of a mess. Skirmishes, sorties, and sparring will be tolerated here and here alone. Do it anywhere else and you'll be facing some very displeased hosts.
• AREA D is the Elite Four's Trophy Room. Please be quiet and respectful if you come up here to have a look around; it's a solemn kind of place. Here you'll find various collections of badges, ribbons, awards, and trophies put on display, with one wall devoted to each member of the Elite Four. Of particular note is a glass case with a broken Ultra Ball mounted inside; the brass plaque attached claims it's the ball Lorelei was using when she almost caught Articuno. On a lighter note, there are also pictures of the Elite Four themselves — your standard Official Portraits™, sure, but also some framed candids of them in various configurations hanging out with their Pokemon and engaged in various activities around the house (Agatha making waffles, Lance and Bruno clowning around in the pool, stuff like that).

THE ORIGINAL INFOPOST | QUESTIONS AND INQUIRIES HOTLINE
no subject
Tenten's attention is on Joonhee though, her cheeks flushing pink at the compliment.]
Thanks! What's wrong with the punch, though? [Are steel types allergic to punch? She clasps both hands behind her back and smiles again.] You don't look all that bad yourself, Nii-san.
no subject
he laughs a bit and touches his hair a bit gingerly. he's not really used to this kind of look. ]
I hope you don't mean I look thirty. [ because he had actually tried on a more formal dark suit but...yeah, he looked thirty. ]
no subject
[Now she's interested, cheeks flushing pink again.]
Are they going to kick me out if I try it? They threw me out when I tried to go to a bar before...
no subject
I don't think it's supposed to be there... [ so no, they probably won't kick her out. ] Don't go crazy with it. Especially if you've never had anything to drink before, you don't know how you'll react to it.
no subject
[She tosses a glance toward the two spiky Pokémon, then grabs his arm to tug.]
C'mon, show me where it is, then will you dance with me?
no subject
Hm...do you want to dance inside or outside?
no subject
Tastes pretty terrible, [she pointed out before just downing it in a gulp and starting to cough. She tried...?]
no subject
[ and yet he's downing a full cup himself. he's only drinking this quickly because she wanted to go dance after! ]
no subject
[Yeah, she doesn't see the appeal of it, though she gives him a bit of a frown that he gets to have a whole cup and she only got a quarter. Rude, Nii-san!]
Anyway, you were asking about where we can dance, right? Can't we do both? It's different kinds of dancing for each area, I think.
no subject
We can do both if you want. You want to go back over and dance with Dulie and Renkon for a bit?
[ he looks over at the two spiky metal pokemon. what are they even doing? it looks like Dulie is trying to teach her baby her version of shuffle dancing. ]
no subject
Sure! Um...
[Okay, she takes a glance at the two spiky 'mons and just. takes a second to stare.]
How do you...?
no subject
Not like that. [ it'd look pretty embarrassing if a person flailed around like that. on them it's kind of cute though... (or menacing but he doesn't seem to mind the spikes anymore) ]
...have you danced before? [ he wouldn't be too surprised if ninja training didn't cover dancing, though he wouldn't be surprised if it did either. ]
no subject
Kind of! The stuff that's going on in the ballroom, I can handle that. Compared to some of the people in there, I'm not even half-bad, either. Kunoichi had to learn that stuff for infiltration missions.
[She bounces a little.]
Can you teach me something Korea?
no subject
I don't know how to do folk dances if that's what your asking, the music isn't really right for that either.
[ he takes her hand and pulls her closer to where their pokemon are dancing. ] It's easy as long as you're sticking to simple things to have fun.
no subject
Alright, well show me that, then.
no subject
[ he starts pretty slow so that she can see how he moves for a shuffle step before speeding up and transitioning into a running glide. he slows down a bit again so that it's easy to see the more subtle movements... and then he spins and goes back to shuffling.
he could probably use that kind of precise muscle control for things Tenten would consider more useful... ]
It'll probably be easy for you, the rest of it is just following the beat. [ it's obviously something he's really comfortable with. much more so than crazy physical training or battling. ]
no subject
It's a lot more subtle than she thought, but once she gets the rhythm, she manages to fall into step with him, expression still deadly serious.]
I think I've got it!
[It's a lot like combat, too, if she really focuses!]
