'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
kingbowser: (Smooth operator)

[personal profile] kingbowser 2013-04-07 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, she probably won't wanna dance with this big, hulking behemoth who's currently stomping around the ballroom with a toothy grin and a Torterra by his side. While he's dolled himself up in a white tuxedo, it's near impossible to mistake him as the nimrod who poisoned all those people.

Oh, and it looks like he's headed her way.]


Boy, aren't you looking fancy?

[His heart's still set on Peach, but if there's one thing he can give the place credit for, it's attractive ladies who'd totally make good kidnapping fodder later.

...right?]
bywiseguidance: (like what you see?)

[personal profile] bywiseguidance 2013-04-07 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[No, no she doesn't. But she does recognize him, this hulking man she's seen on the network--she's paid particularly close attention after the poisoning, and has been waiting to meet him face to face.

He's big, yes, but Ziva's fought big. She's fought multiple big, and she's not intimidated. Jethro growls lowly at her side, sensing her agitation.

But she hides it well, playing the part of a simple woman in a fancy dress.]


That was what I intended. Thank you.

[...kidnapping her would end in hilarity.]
kingbowser: (Grin)

[personal profile] kingbowser 2013-04-08 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Bwa ha ha! I just call 'em like I see 'em. 'Course, Princess Peach is leagues ahead of everyone here, but it's tough to compete with royalty.

I should know.

[Ziva's far smarter than some to put up with Bowser's... unique outlook on life. It shows patience that he sadly lacks, and when her Pokémon growls, he pays him little to no mind. Why should he be scared when he's got a big, tough minion like Smasher? Appreciation for small wonders in life is something he's yet to grasp.

Also, a kidnapping would not only be hilarious, but it would probably end in a disaster. Such is Bowser's sad life story.]
bywiseguidance: (happy)

[personal profile] bywiseguidance 2013-04-08 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Ziva puts on an act of being suitably impressed, curious, and kind of stupid, falling easily into the act of just another pretty face at a party, no more. She wants him to take her lightly, at least for the moment.]

Oh? And what of you, then?

[It is possible to take Ziva prisoner, but there's usually extenuating circumstances...and it doesn't end well for the guys that try it, one way or another.]
kingbowser: (HELL YEAH)

[personal profile] kingbowser 2013-04-08 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Hah! That's an easy one. I'm the powerful, awesome, and intimidating ruler of the Koopas!

[Given Bowser's idiocy, he doesn't even suspect an act. Nah, he's fully content to toot his own horn a bit more. Bragging opportunities this smooth don't appear all that often, and he's more than happy to soak up the spotlight.]
bywiseguidance: (and that would be?)

[personal profile] bywiseguidance 2013-04-09 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Allow her to feign more awe and being-impressed-ness. Ruler of the Koopas, eh?]

So you are a king yourself then...I cannot say that I have ever met someone of such an impressive status before. I am afraid I am a bit lost for words...

[Stroke his ego a bit, why don't you...]
kingbowser: (King of Awesome)

[personal profile] kingbowser 2013-04-12 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Bwa ha ha! Yeah, I have that effect on people. Kind of comes with being such a high-class tyrant.

[What he fails to mention is how he gets his butt kicked by a certain plumber. But hey, that's one tiny little detail. Yup.]
bywiseguidance: (go on. please.)

[personal profile] bywiseguidance 2013-04-14 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[If this were any other guy she'd be afraid she was laying it on too thick, as they say--but he just seems to be eating up the attention. Ziva's torn between gratitude that she seems to be able to play him so easily, and disgust for pretty much the exact same reason.]

I am rather surprised that this...event is high profile enough to warrant a man of your...caliber.

[What would Bowser do if Ziva, say, touched his arm in an appropriately flirtatious way, with the expression to match...because she kind of is.]
kingbowser: (Deep thawts bro)

[personal profile] kingbowser 2013-04-15 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[...Oh. Well, this is new. If only Peach would react so stunningly to his greatness. But hey, he'll take what he can get, and after giving her a brief eyebrow raise, he chuckles and continues his tirade.]

It could be loads better! Throw in some lava pits, a bigger buffet, and some flattering portraits of me, and then it'd really be a stand-out shindig.

But it sure beats what the rest of this place has to offer. Maybe I oughta snag this resort from those Elite Four losers and give it the remodel it deserves.

[Worst idea? The worst idea, but that won't stop him from trying.

And once again his ego's left him both obnoxious and clueless to the situation.]
