'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

[OH LOOK WHO'S ALL LOOMING AND IMPOSING AND CLEARING HIS THROAT possibly a little awkwardly FROM RIGHT OVER THERE AT THE END OF THE REFRESHMENTS TABLE. It's that guy. Big beefy guy. Yup.
If he looks stiff and formal it's probably just because of his snappy military bearing. Or because he's trying really hard not to yell ATTEN-TION! to get her to notice him.]
Hum. Good evening. Damn fine evening, even. Fresh air, loud music. People everywhere.
[Reminds him of the WAR.]
no subject
Oh, um- hello!
[Yes, that. And a little wave, too. It's hard NOT to be a little scared of this guy, but Whitney smiles at him anyway. Just, you know. A bit awkward. She never figured out how to interact with him.]
Are you enjoying it? We weren't sure you'd come ...
no subject
[Whitney he is going to fill a glass of punch and hand it courteously to you because THAT IS WHAT MEN DO.]
I have been taking roll call of the gym leader presence in this region. [P A U S E] Is — is Leader Jasmine present and accounted for?
no subject
Thank you ... oh, yeah, totally! I think I saw her by the pool.
[ dot dot dot oh wait]
[She'll be looking at you with a very light bite on her lip now, Surge. NOT THAT SHE'S UH you know, nothing like that, that's for someone else to do and look significant while doing it - no, Whitney just. Has to bite down a particular kind of smile.]
Did you want to see for yourself? I can show you where she was!
[SHE HAS GOT TO SEE THIS]
no subject
That would be outstanding. [He says, with an authoritative point at Whitney for emphasis.] She contacted me several weeks back asking for advice on a wounded soldier! Glad I could help. Hate to see a good Electric-Type down.
[He reaches into the inner pocket of his (sleeveless) tuxedo, producing a small suede pouch.]
Brought an old field remedy with me. [From the WAR.] Thought she and her Ampharos might find it useful.
no subject
Um, I bet they will! She's been really worried about Amphy, and you're the expert on Electric types, so I'm sure it'll work, too!
no subject
[It would've been nice to get over into Johto and show his support and solidarity in person at that concert he'd heard about, but a true military man would never desert his post. Duty called!]
I would like to give her this pouch and my best if you can assist me in finding her.
no subject
[She keeps her punch glass in one hand (and tries some, while she moves around the table, and it's very good) and sort of SLIGHTLY AWKWARDLY joins Surge's side, her pokémon dutifully following her. She points out the general pool area because ... well, maybe he didn't know where the pool .. was .... and then proceeds to walk towards the north end of it.]
[... c:]
Hey, um, did you dance yet?
[Being brave in the name of future chinhandsing.]
no subject
TACTICS, WOMAN. TACTICS.]
Not yet. Duty comes before leisure!
[It's cool, though, he gets you.]
But I will be happy to ask you for the honor of a dance when my business is concluded!
[... c:]
no subject
[Also um no that's not quite it, but okay, she can roll with it.]
Y-yeah, sure! I mean, I think you should ask Jasmine, too. I don't think she'll dance much tonight ...
no subject
Outstanding!
[Damn right the ladies love a man in uniform.]
