'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).

[ just gonna flash a smile and give a little wave. ]

No one said you had to. And, ah ha... This is as dressed up as I will get without mom getting on me.
sonore: (pic#5389700)

[personal profile] sonore 2013-04-08 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I get the whole 'someone else getting you to' thing...

[ A slight, sheepish grumble because that's how he ended up like this. Either way, he's making his way over completely and standing next to Sora, glancing out at the pool, arms crossed. ]

You're gonna fall in if you keep doing that, you know.
heartdive: (( 2 ) ❣ hpijd)

[personal profile] heartdive 2013-04-08 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
The only person that might've stood a chance of that isn't here anymore.

[ he gives another kick, snickering. ]

Even if I fall in, it's fine. I happen to be a really awesome swimmer.

[personal profile] sonore 2013-04-08 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Really? [ Now he's curious. Eventually, after a second or two, he manages to get comfortable enough that he takes a seat as well, though is mindful not to get the rented suit wet. ]

Did you grow up by the sea or somethin'?
heartdive: (( 2 ) ❣ hvgfj)

[personal profile] heartdive 2013-04-08 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ it's okay. Sora won't splash you, Neku. he won't even splash at the pokémon. 8) ]

Yup! My home's a place called the Destiny Islands. We even had these row boats that'd we'd take from the main island to a play island. Swimming's kind of an important thing to know.

[ Such a kind heart, young Sora...!! c: ]

Right. [ That's so radically different from where he grew up it's not even funny. So it's a bit hard to imagine, living a life like that. It seems boring. But then again... ] Have you been back? ... Since you got here, I mean.
heartdive: (( fa ) ❣ xeuqx)

[personal profile] heartdive 2013-04-08 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ he'd still like to see Shibuya sometime. probably would be overwhelmed. ]

Sort of? I left this place, anyway. But we left the islands for something else important.

[ thoughtful. ]

Which... That's when I met you, Rhyme, Shiki, Beat, and Joshua.

[ he's very curious now and all. right this again.. ]

...Right. So you know all of them, too, huh.. Even Josh.

He was really helpful. Joshua explained what was going on when Riku and I didn't know anything.
sonore: <user name="big_obnoxious_font"> (pic#5431882)

[personal profile] sonore 2013-04-08 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Have you talked to him since you've been here...? [ Joshua? Helpful? He's resisting laughing ok... ]
heartdive: (( 2 ) ❣ yktnz)

[personal profile] heartdive 2013-04-08 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe once? I admit I was disappointed when he didn't know who I was...
sonore: (pic#3018969)

[personal profile] sonore 2013-04-08 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
He's kinda hard to get used to. ... Sorry about that. [ he can only imagine joshua's reaction to the 'news' ]

[personal profile] heartdive 2013-04-08 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
I've lots of friends like that. Ever talked to Sasuke?
sonore: (pic#5389698)

[personal profile] sonore 2013-04-08 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
No. I don't think so?
heartdive: (( 2 ) ❣ bnebm)

[personal profile] heartdive 2013-04-08 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
He's not really a talkative guy. Kind of cranky and sort of...

[ shrugs. Sasuke has a lot of problems. ]

It's kind of like he says things to push people away and then acts surprised when people see through it.
sonore: (pic#5390055)

[personal profile] sonore 2013-04-08 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
I guess you could say the same thing about Josh.

[ Sorta. Some of the times he means those things he says and yeah. He's a prickly Rubik Cube all right. ]

I don't get people like that. [ Just a quiet murmur ]

[personal profile] heartdive 2013-04-08 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
They're just scared, I think. Because if they get close to people, then those people that they care about can hurt them. It's like they're believing that will happen no matter what. That's kind of sad, if you ask me. But I think that just means they have a bigger heart than normal.
