'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
paladinlost: (meh)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2013-04-06 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[There is now a paladin by the side of the pool, looking distinctly unimpressed.]

...What were you thinking.
combat_butler: (My life as EVA-02.)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2013-04-06 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't thinking at all! I didn't even know he was with me!! I thought this was Sasaki!!

*At least Overfiend seems significantly more subdued than the last time he was brought to the attention of the populace.*
paladinlost: (sighing)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2013-04-06 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
You should mark his pokéball with a drawing, to avoid such future incidents. I doubt Clair will appreciate his... visit.

[Keeping an eye out for security, now. Just in case.]
combat_butler: (H-Hina why are you glaring at me--)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2013-04-06 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
It... It should be fine! I just... need a moment to collect his ball from my jacket! ... even if that's always like performing a magic trick when he takes hold of me like this.

*There is even more boisterous Tennnnnta tenta tenta laughter from the Tentacruel as he holds his trainer, who is now doing his best to get to his jacket pocket without emptying the contents into the pool...*
paladinlost: (uncertain)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2013-04-06 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Will you need help with that? I have a Flying-type with me; he can help you find it, or catch any object that might fall out.

[Rosie walks to his side as he speaks, holding a bowl of popcorn. What, this is like a free show!]
combat_butler: (OTL)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2013-04-06 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
N... No... I'm fine! I've done this upwards of fifty times now, I just... need a minute or two... Possibly ten at most, depending on if he starts juggling me...

*That is a smart plan, Rosie... It's free entertainment on top of the party...*
paladinlost: (open-mouthed)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2013-04-06 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
...Juggling, you say. Is that such a common occurrence?

[Some juggling would be even more entertaining, which is why she's now cheering for it to happen.]
combat_butler: (Mada mada dane...)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2013-04-06 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
It happens roughly one out of every five times...

*No don't egg him on!!! Overfiend is too easily hyped!*
paladinlost: (surprised)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2013-04-06 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
In this particular case, those are very bad odds. How can you tell when he'll decide to do it?

[All the better! Do iiiiiit!]
combat_butler: (God I hate tigers.)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2013-04-06 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Erm, well... Usually his tell signs are him raising about ten tentacles up-- *Which he just did.*-- then starting to wiggle them about, as if he was cracking his fingers in preparation.... *Again like he just did...*
paladinlost: (freaking out)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2013-04-06 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
.........Run. Run now.

[Go go go!]
combat_butler: (Some kind of sexual tyrannosaurus...)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2013-04-07 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
--eh? Run? It's kind of hard to run when I'm hanging upsi--

*cue a tiny girly shriek from him as the process of him being tossed from tentacle to tentacle to tentacle begins....*
paladinlost: (panicked)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2013-04-07 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there any attack we could use that would not harm you?

[He asks that, But rosie sure doesn't look like she wants to interfere.]
combat_butler: (This taste-- Death?!)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2013-04-07 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
--der--- aa--v-e--!

*It's really hard to talk when he's being juggled from one tentacle to another, okay?*
paladinlost: (woe)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2013-04-07 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn! Rosie, use Magical Leaf!

[Whoever said that Magical Leaf never misses is a liar, because those leaves fly over a metre away from the Tentacruel. ...Surely that was not Rosie's intention?]
combat_butler: (This really isn't worth it.)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2013-04-07 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
*Rosie pls...

Overfiend lets out a cackling laugh at watching the move go so off course, continuing to juggle the butler as his eyes resemble spirals from all the tossing about happening.*
paladinlost: (sighing)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2013-04-08 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I cannot believe this... Tellah, come give us a hand!

[And out comes Tellah, the super Delibird! ...That probably won't help, right?]
combat_butler: (Zetsubou Sensei; Please save me.)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2013-04-08 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
*If Hayate could see what that was amidst all his being juggled as he struggled to reach for the proper pokeball, he'd likely let out an extra shriek of horror.

Luckily(?) for him he can't exactly tell!*
paladinlost: (Tellah)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2013-04-09 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Water Pulse, and try not to hit Hayate!

[...But even if he doesn't quite manage that, a little more water shouldn't hurt, right?]
combat_butler: (HRK-!)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2013-04-10 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
*Sure, it wouldn't normally hurt!

Unless your pet tentacle monster decides to throw you right in front of it during the juggling, holding you up as a human shield for giggles which results in a highly undignified shriek at the sudden blast of water.*
paladinlost: (angry)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2013-04-11 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Ten points for the excellent use of props, minus fifty for the annoyance.]

Oh, for- Tellah! Try to get him out with Fly!

[And try Tellah does! Hey, mister, need a ride away from there?]
combat_butler: (H-Hina why are you glaring at me--)

[personal profile] combat_butler 2013-04-11 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
*Why is this turning into the circus?! He should really get paid for the entertainment he's providing at this rate.

Hayate is flying from tentacle to tentacle until the bird closes in, at which point Overfiend decides to be particularly mean and... hold the butler in place.

Don't try TOO hard to ride him away...*
paladinlost: (Tellah)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2013-04-12 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[He won't try too hard, don't worry! He'll just grab Hayate's arm with his claws and attempt to fly off into the sunset!

...Keyword being attempt.]
