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

Comments

[itsjustdust]

[He grinned at him as he felt him relax and nodded once.] See? You've got this.

[aburame]

... [All Obito receives is a grunt in response. Yep.

At least he isn't looking down at his feet the whole time anymore, but the space over Obito's head. Or around his face or something- that vicinity. It's hard to tell with Shino when you can't see his eyes.]

[itsjustdust]

[He gave the last couple steps a flourish before drawing to a halt.]

Here we are~

[aburame]

...

[He lets go, returning hands to his pockets as usual without a word.]

[itsjustdust]

[He leaned in, studying the way he was holding his jaw and the tension of his body.]

Was it that bad?

[aburame]

[He doesn't react to Obito's sudden closeness, only returning the look.

... Don't make him say it.]

[itsjustdust]

[Have a tiny pout.]

[aburame]

[Nope, no really. He won't verbalise it.

But he does allow his shoulders to relax. He did it, didn't he?]

[itsjustdust]

[He brightened though, straightening up.]

Good!

[aburame]

[Obito, you look way too happy for this. He finally speaks up:]

... You seem to be enjoying yourself.

[itsjustdust]

I am! I finally have been managing to spot some folks I've been keeping an eye on over the network.

[aburame]

That's an advantage of this event. Most people are here... the network is not quite the same.

[You can't dance with people on a screen, for one.]

[itsjustdust]

Exactly! [There was a beat of pause.]

You realize once Naruto finds Sasuke there'll be no prying him off him right?

[aburame]

... Not if Sasuke says otherwise. Naruto is persistent, though.

[Wondering how that meeting will go.]

It will most likely mean we will end up traveling together.

[itsjustdust]

Yeah, I've noticed. [He moved up next to him and lightly nudged him.]

Walk with me? I kinda wanted to explore outside a bit while we were here.

[aburame]

[Nods. The atmosphere in here is beginning to feel stifling, he's much more comfortable outdoors.]

I haven't yet had an opportunity to explore the falls either...

[itsjustdust]

Let's go then! [He hooked their arms without even a hint of self consciousness about it and headed for the nearest door.]

[aburame]

!!

[This isn't like the dancing, bro! If anything, he's pretty keen to see what this place has to offer. He doesn't have to be literally dragged everywhere. Nevertheless, he's hunching over slightly as he follows along.]

[itsjustdust]

[he noticed the hunch and looked over.] If I'm botherin you at all just say alright?

[aburame]

It's-... fine.

[More like he still has the height difference too, and Obito is just going at a faster pace.]

[itsjustdust]

Got it! [He didn't release him, clearly happy enough to hang onto him as he headed outside, looking around as he tried to sort out which way the best things would be.]

[aburame]

[CONTINUED TO BE PULLED ALONG sob]

... -Did you have anything specific in mind?

[Apparently there is a waterfall here, or are we hunting for wild Pokemon. Where are they even going?]

[itsjustdust]

[He drew to a halt.]

Ummm not really. Just... foresty. I've heard some cool things.

[aburame]

Have you?

[Interest piqued.]

[itsjustdust]

...I kinda heard they had Sunkerns here, actually. I haven't been able to catch an egg of one so... I figured i might be able to battle one down to convince it to come with me.
