'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

"Some of them are human gear, like Brenn's glasses, but most are Pokemon accessories from some other region, where 'Contests' happen. It's like a Pokemon beauty pageant, more about style than about combat strategy. My kind of thing." The topic clearly had the girl excited, of course... she's an excitable sort. Imogen looked up, and through the mask you could see her studying to try and place her new friend. She shrugged it off, weird deja vu things are fun but not as fun as clothes.

"I spent a while picking out the perfect mask and dress, and my Pokemon felt a little left out." She twirled, to show off every detail of her outfit, "So it took some time but I got them all something. But I was in Goldenrod, biggest city in the region. I can give you the info for whenever the next big exclusive secret Elite Four party is!"
usedacrobatics: (gotta get the girl)

"Is this an exclusive secret?" he asked, pointing at the ground. "If that's why we're all supposed to have masks, that makes a little sense."

He's joking, of course.

"I think I'd like that info. I think Caroline's pretty mesmerized by that twirl."

Just don't catch the dress on fire, please?

"We're in a place that isn't on either map. So unless this is like truck outside of the S.S. Anne rumor territory we're definitely in some kinda cool secret event spot," Imogen mused, a little to her new friend, a little aloud. "But mostly it's because masks are cool."

Imogen gets joking, but sometimes she plays it serious because it's more fun that way.

"Oh it'll be fine, I do forget if Charmander tails work like Rapidash manes, but I'm very careful with fire anyway," Imogen extends a hand to say hi to the little Charmander, being very careful with the gloves she has on, "I'll shoot you a message with the info later. What's your name?"
staystraught: (the best time for flirting)

"Your new fan there is Caroline, and my name's Dick." He didn't mumble his name or anything, but he was bracing himself for the usual reactions.

Caroline, for her part, takes her tail in one little... clawhand and extends the other for a gracious shake.

"Somehow, I doubt there's a dance hidden inside the games. At least, a dance for humans," Dick said. "Although that would be cool."

"It is nice to meet you Dick, and nice to meet you Caroline," Imogen gave Dick a polite curtsy, then shook the tiny clawed hand Caroline extended for her. Smiling happily at both, and making no mention of Dick's name at all in any way. Of course, she hasn't introduced herself, she's out in the public venues of the party in a mask, if she said her name then it'd ruin the fun later.

"Well, maybe not a dance, but the place might be special in itself. Some place to fight battles over you already battled. Or just to hold some secret items and TMs," Although... the list of people hat recognized Pokemon as a game was on the slim side, he was the right height and age as... naw, well, maybe? "So... why aren't you wearing a mask?"
staystraught: (we'll laugh about this someday)

"So that Caroline doesn't accidentally incinerate it," he answered matter-of-factly, and pulled the Zubat mask out of his jacket. It'd made him laugh.

Not getting a name in return didn't phase him; he remembered her being charmingly eccentric and/or absentminded.

"I could put it on if you think it'd make me more mysterious. It wouldn't work on you, but you could watch it work on other people." He shrugged. "It'd be cool if you refight gym battles. If only for the experience points."
