'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
bywiseguidance: (and that would be?)

[personal profile] bywiseguidance 2013-04-10 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Ziva smiles as she watches. It's nice seeing Jethro start to act his age for once--he's actually still a puppy, despite his size.]

It is much easier when we are all in once place, it is true. I am Ziva.
starspangledavenger: (Small smile)

[personal profile] starspangledavenger 2013-04-10 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you, Miss Ziva. That's an interesting name, very unique.
bywiseguidance: (well hey there)

[personal profile] bywiseguidance 2013-04-10 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Please, just Ziva is fine. I have never been much of a person for formalities.

[Despite her speech patterns. Also, such charm, Steve.]

It is Hebrew.
starspangledavenger: (Charming bastard)

[personal profile] starspangledavenger 2013-04-10 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Just Ziva then. I was raised in a time where to not add the miss when first meeting would have been very uncouth, so it's ingrained in me.

[smiles at the mention of it being Hebrew]

Does it have a meaning?
bywiseguidance: (you flatterer)

[personal profile] bywiseguidance 2013-04-10 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ziva smiles back. Always refreshing to meet a gentleman, though she doesn't really like any 'miss' title.

Better than ma'am though.]


Of course. It means 'splendor,' 'brilliance,' or 'light.'
starspangledavenger: (What's talking to women)

[personal profile] starspangledavenger 2013-04-11 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
That's a good meaning for a beautiful name.

[realizes he might be flirting and isn't sure how to continue, so subject change]

Have you danced much tonight?
bywiseguidance: (oh and?)

[personal profile] bywiseguidance 2013-04-11 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh come on now it's cute flirting. Ziva's totally used to guys flirting with her. It's amusing.]

I could dance more.
starspangledavenger: (Charming bastard)

[personal profile] starspangledavenger 2013-04-11 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Steve has trouble with flirty talk after a while]

Well, Ziva, would you honor me with a dance?

[offers his hand and does a slight bow, with a playful smile on his face]
bywiseguidance: (bright smile)

[personal profile] bywiseguidance 2013-04-11 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[But it's charming flirty talk. Not like. 'You have a nice ass' or 'Did it hurt when you fell out of heaven' because she's probably totally gotten that before.]

It would be a pleasure.

[Ziva takes his hand, and lets herself be led out to the dance floor.]
starspangledavenger: (Really? Amused)

[personal profile] starspangledavenger 2013-04-11 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[naw, Steve is more about honest flattery and floundering for a subject type of flirting]

[he leads her out on to the dance floor, the song right for a waltz, so takes that position, keeping his hand on a respectful place on her waist]
bywiseguidance: (slinky dress)

[personal profile] bywiseguidance 2013-04-12 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey she totally does have a bangin' ass, that is completely honest.

Luckily for Steve, she's not wearing a dress with a low-cut back. And she can dance without stepping on people's toes.]
starspangledavenger: (Charming bastard)

[personal profile] starspangledavenger 2013-04-13 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[oh without a doubt she does, but Steve hasn't peeked yet.

He'd be very flustered if she was wearing a low back dress, he'd have trouble with where to put his hand. With fluid movements, he leads her in the dance, remembering everything he was taught]
bywiseguidance: (like what you see?)

[personal profile] bywiseguidance 2013-04-14 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Tony would tsk you for not looking, Steve, you should get on that.

Ziva is obviously enjoying herself, she does enjoy dancing after all, and dancing with handsome men? Even better.]

You are a very good dancer, Steve.

[She's close enough that she can very nearly whisper as the song continues, despite the volume in the room.]

starspangledavenger: (Charming bastard)

[personal profile] starspangledavenger 2013-04-14 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
[oh dear, can't disappoint Tony now can he? He'll fix this mistake soon enough.

Steve is making sure to keep his movements smooth and not over think anything, he's really just learned how tonight, but he's a very fast learner and had a good teacher. But for now he'll keep that to himself and not jinx it]

Thank you. You're really good as well, very graceful.

[he's enjoying how close they are right now, it's not very often he's this close to someone without malintent playing a strong factor]
