'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
Um, hey! Sorry, I didn't hear you. [.. and oh gosh!] Oh, is that your Floatzel? She's really cute!
no subject
He manages a little smile. And then he almost misses what she actually asked.]
Oh! Uh, yeah. Her name is Susie. I-is that your Clefable?
no subject
Yep! This is Cleffy.
[The most creative name in the world, but she pats the Clefable on the head and he seems content enough.]
He's one of my best friends.
no subject
He's really cute.
[He smiles, looking not quite as nervous.]
Susie was my first Pokemon. She's kind of basically like my sister. A-and I'm Shaun! It's nice to meet you!
no subject
[But her Miltank didn't seem like the best choice to accompany her to the party, given her fondness of Rollout.]
Hi Shaun, I'm Whitney! It's nice to meet you too.
no subject
[Yeah, Calvin is a mischief-maker, but as long as he stays away from the pool his Pichu-ticular brand of mischief is well-contained. And Shaun is staying well away from the pool.]
I think you look really pretty. [Oh no that wasn't smooth!] I'm sorry! I mean-- are you having fun? This is a really big party...
no subject
Thanks, that's really sweet! I'm having lots of fun, since I get to meet so many nice people! I think it's great that it's a big party like that.
What about you? And your pokémon?
no subject
Shaun beams.]
Yeah, I'm having lots of fun! I've gotten to meet a lot of my friends I'd never met in person before. And my pokemon are having fun meeting everyone's different teams, too.
[Speaking of, Susie the wing-'Mon is going to pad closer curiously to see how her trainer's doing.]
no subject
[That's a bit of a joke, but ... well, Clair.]
[Also have a mildly curious Clefable looking your way, Susie. Tonight is a night of meetings after all!]
no subject
[Susie looks at the Clefable and smiles, holding out a paw in greeting with a cheerful Floatzel!]
[Shaun watches the Pokemon make acquaintance, and then looks back up at Whitney. Then he remembers something.]
Oh, uh, Whitney?
[He holds out a little white flower to her, like the one in his buttonhole and the "corsage" tied around his Floatzel's paw.]
Um, h-here, I want you to have this. If you want it. It matches your dress.
[You have a little admirer, Whitney.]
no subject
[Whitney, meanwhile, looks surprised at the gift but is happy to take it. She's ... kind of oblivious to the admirer angle, but that doesn't mean she's any less enthusiastic about it.]
Thank you, Shaun!
[She has one of those wristbands on, still, and she arranges the flower stem to fit beneath it so it's attached to her wrist. She admirers how it looks for a moment, then she looks at the rest of the little group.]
Now we all match, too!
[... well, except Cleffy, but he'll live.]
no subject
You're welcome! I'm glad you like it!
[He looks at their pokemon and the back at her.]
We do!
[That's okay, Cleffy matches Whitney's dress. Kinda. Susie nudges the back of her trainer's knees with her tails, enough that he barely has to shift one of his feet forward, and he glances at her in confusion. Susie glances between him and Whitney and then nudges his knee gentler this time. Shaun looks up at the gym leader and tries not to look too nervous.]
Will you, uh, dance with me, Whitney?
