'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
Ash would have done so himself, had he not choked with laughter when Haro decided to finish that by patting his head with a firm wing. As it was, trying to breathe left him rather unable to speak.
no subject
"Just what I needed. A giggly pirate."
no subject
"A poor one, too, with only a parrot as a prop. I should have looked for an eyepatch among all those masks."
"Hide the eye! Hide the scar!"
Haro's comment earned him a small tap on the beak, but Ash's smile remained.
no subject
Besides half blinding him, hair like that was just asking to get grabbed.
The little Petilil Blake got stuck with not long ago drifted over to check out the funny man. She looked up at him and peeped curiously. She wanted to see! Blake gave her a long-suffering look.
"Don't try ignoring her. It just makes it worse."
no subject
Piloting, really, but after Blake's reaction to space colonies he had a feeling the giant robots wouldn't go over well. He kneeled down to approach the Petilil.
"We can't have that. Has she stopped her great drawer exploration?"
no subject
Rachel was delighted to get some attention. She reached up with her leaves to try to push the hair away so she can see.
"Yeah, she's calmed down some. After the first day, when she dumped everything out on the floor and then went to take a nap in a sunbeam. Fucking plants."
no subject
Seeing what Rachel was trying to do, Haro used his beak to grab some of Ash's bangs and move them away. That left his scar uncovered, never a good thing, but he didn't attempt to push them away.
"I get the reason for the sunbeam, but the mess... Unless that's her revenge for every weed ever pulled."
no subject
Blake took advantage of the opportunity to scope out the scar. Frankly, he was disappointed. With the way the guy kept it covered up religiously, he was expecting something flashy and ugly.
"That's it? I've seen guys who got worse shaving."
Rachel was also examining the scar. She gave it a light touch with a leaf.
"Yeah, I should find some smug vegetarian to sic her on."
no subject
"They're only a few strands of hair; it's not like I gel it into some sort of opaque block. And it looked much more impressive when it was covered in blood and glass, really."
That touch tickled a little, but with that little display of hers the other day he preferred to count himself lucky that was all she did.
"Don't. Chances are you'd just make a smug fruitarian out of them."
no subject
It looked solid as a mop from where Blake was standing.
"What did you do, go headfirst into a windshield?"
The plant cooed and reached out toward Ash's hair. Blake thought she was about to demonstrate his point and gets ready to grab her, but all she did was pat his hair. Fluffy!
no subject
If that was all she was going to do. Ash was more than happy to let her. He even decided to pat her head in return.
no subject
Blake remembered Ash saying something about space colonies, but not what he was doing there.
The plant made a weird, planty-sounding giggle. She's made a friend!
no subject
That was not quite what he was when he received that scar, of course, but he thought it'd be more polite to answer the exact question.
His sentence was followed by Haro's attempted imitation of Rachel's giggle. A terrifying thing to hear.
no subject
They opened again and he winced some more at that giggle. "Shit, that's bad enough when it's not in stereo."
Rachel ignored him and toyed with Haro's feathers. She did a lot of ignoring him.
no subject
"...Yeah. I probably couldn't make a sea ship work if my life depended on it."
Apparently Haro had no problem with the toying, as he kept showing off the different colors of his plumage. Still giggling.
"He's quick to pick up new sounds. I brought him out to improve his vocabulary, but I'm starting to regret that."
no subject
The world either hated sanity, or it just hated Blake. Maybe both.
The world must have liked the Petilil, though, because it gave her a whole pretty bird with feathers to pet.
"He sounds like a goddamn prodigy."
Blake cast a look of frayed patience at the plant.
"Thank christ this thing can't talk. I'd be happy if she could listen. I keep telling it to smack things and she just wanders off to make fucking daisy chains. I know she can fight. There was this thing that looked like a boulder with arms, she smacked it with one of those little leaves and it went flying like a shotput."
no subject
It must have liked the Chatot, too. Free pettings, and his trainer was too busy talking to keep an eye on him. What more could a bird ask for?
"Maybe she only wants to fight if she has the type advantage? Or if she finds her opponent ugly. Who knows how plants think?"
no subject
Maybe it could ask for a new friend who isn't trying to pluck a pretty yellow feather for a souvenir.
"I think she thought it was some kind of game. She giggled when she launched the thing. It's a hell of a weird sound to hear from a tulip bulb."
no subject
Okay, that did hurt a little. Enough for Haro to try to hide behind Ash's head, at least.
"If it sounded anything like her giggle earlier, I can imagine that. Most Pokémon treat battles like some sort of sport, so thinking of it as a game wouldn't be too far-fetched."
no subject
Except Norman's. That she could harass to her heart's content. The onion-thing made another giggling noise and ran behind Blake.
"That's what it is, isn't it? Like dogfighting, except socially acceptable somehow. All the animal things seem to get a kick out of it."
no subject
But at least that meant Ash's hair would now be a safe hiding spot. The man reached back to pet Haro's head a few times, to calm him down.
"Why wouldn't they? They don't get any permanent injuries from it and it earns them attention and affection from people. All for a few scratches and thrown leaves every so often."
no subject
The plant was happy with her feather and went hopping around twirling it. Blake ignored it stolidly. He was getting good at that.
"That or they just like fighting. Huh, girl?"
He called to Steve, who came over and flexed to show off her toughness.
no subject
"I don't think I've ever seen a Snubbull that wasn't combattive, including my Bully. Putting those fangs to good use, are you?"
The question was addressed to Steve herself, of course.
no subject
Blake looked a little proud. "Yeah, she acts all cute and girly, but when it comes down to it she packs a punch."
She looked a little less tough when the plant waved the feather in front of her face and she sneezed, but he stood by it.
no subject
"Sometimes I'd swear the cute and girly ones are the most dangerous. Maybe it's nature's way of getting us to drop our guards and get ousrelves set on fire."
In a great display of control and restraint, Ash did not laugh at that sneeze. Haro did, but that quickly earned him a small tap on the beak.
