'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
ghostytrainer: (keep your chin up and grin.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-04-06 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Psshhh, no need to apologize! It's a free country, you can go wherever you like! I was just hoping to get a dance out of you before the night is over. That's all.

[Aww, come on Janey. Proms are supposed to be fun.]
healium: (detective)

[personal profile] healium 2013-04-06 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Still, that makes her smile gently, popping another chip in her mouth.] Hoo hoo, is that so? Of course I'll grant my dear Poppop a dance, that would be just silly of me not to, you know?
ghostytrainer: (call me mr. anderson.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-04-07 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Incredibly silly! Downright ridiculous and I just can't stand by such absurdity, no sir.

[He can't help but laugh a little before extending his hand.]

So. May I?
healium: (shenanigans)

[personal profile] healium 2013-04-07 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Smiling a bit more at the offered hand, Jane sets her plate down and after dusting her fingertips on a napkin, takes his hand.] I'll just warn that I never learned how to dance anything but the chicken dance so beware of my two left feet.
ghostytrainer: (no i cannot smile doofishly.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-04-07 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[John laughs a little at that, leading her away from the tables, crowd, and pool.]

I really shouldn't be surprised about that. It was the same for me. But luckily for the both of us, Rose and Valeria gave me a few lessons. [Ah, this area seems suitably out of the way.] So I can give you a quick crash course, no worries.
healium: (<3)

[personal profile] healium 2013-04-13 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
Hoo hoo hoo, well, since you insist. The fate of your shoes lands in your skill with teaching, Poppop!

[Smiling and relaxing, Jane waits for John to tell her what to do.]
ghostytrainer: (that was a pretty funny joke!)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-04-13 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[He laughs at that, taking her left hand in his right.]

I will do my best! For my fine shiny shoes! [His left hand comes to rest on her waist as he get them into proper hold, raising their clasped hands.] Now, do you know where to put your other hand?

healium: (chatty cathy)

[personal profile] healium 2013-04-13 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
I can make an educated guess, hoo hoo!

[Lifting her free hand and settling it on his shoulder, Jane looks down to get her feet as situated as possible.]
ghostytrainer: (chillin'.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-04-14 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe, there was never a doubt in my mind! Okay now first you...

[And here's where we pretend that John starts teaching her how to waltz. Because it has been years since Katar has had to waltz and awmittedly she does not remember the steps right off the top of her head. Nor does she particularly feel like using google-fu so... ~imaaaaaagination~]

[He's counting the steps out loud though. Yup.]
healium: (heeee)

[personal profile] healium 2013-04-15 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[AND THIS IS HOW ONE DANCES yupperski. The counting helps, and Jane ends up counting a bit quietly under her breath with John. At least it seems she's caught on quickly enough, and it's making her smile each time they finish a set completely.]
ghostytrainer: jane (rockin' it crockbert style.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-04-16 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[He even goes as far as to spin her under their arms a few times! Because Jane is probably one of the few that he can actually manage this with without her having to bend down a little. Whoosh look at all these rugs they are cutting!]

[But most importantly, John is happy to see her smiling.]


See? You're a natural at this!
healium: (OH YOU HAHA)

[personal profile] healium 2013-04-16 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[]It's probably the first fun she's had all night, having been hiding out at this end rather than anywhere else. Relaxed and beaming happily, Jane gives a light hoo hoo.]

It's because I have a great teacher, Poppop!
ghostytrainer: (no i cannot smile doofishly.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-04-16 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[And turn and two and--]

Heh, you give me too much credit! [--dip!] I am still a student myself, after all.
healium: (cheery)

[personal profile] healium 2013-04-16 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Then we'll have to show your teacher how well we're doing, hoo hoo!
ghostytrainer: (welp.)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2013-04-18 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh most definitely! We're bound to run into her at some point...unless she found the library. In which case we might not see her for a while.

[So that was supposed to be a joke but now that he thinks about it...]

Actually, I think after this song I might have to excuse myself to go check the book trap for any stray Lalondes.
healium: (hoo hoo)

[personal profile] healium 2013-04-19 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
That's perfectly fine; you need to keep an eye on those Lalondes, they tend to flit out of sight like birds and sneak right back behind you like they've mastered their own version of the Strider flashstep.

[Hoo hooing again, at least the dance has done what John wanted; Jane is in much better spirits and it shows.]
