'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).

If this is nothing, then I might just swoon when you truly go all-out to impress a gal.

[No he cleans up really damn nicely and nothing he says will make her change her mind.]

You're a head turner yourself, mister. I'm surprised and rather glad that there isn't a crowd to fight with for your attention.

[Stop stop stop he can't handle this. So when she's finished, he honestly can't help but blurt out something that he definitely wishes he would've kept to himself, all things considered.]

I'm no Egbert, though.

[Immediately he tenses and wishes he had not spoke, because that. That's not something she needs to know. She doesn't need to know how inferior he feels to Egbert. Just... fuck.]
matini: (Even more classy)

[personal profile] matini 2013-04-12 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Mom is surprised by this comment, but then it melts into a soft smile.]

No, you're not. You're Bro Strider, and I like Bro Strider just as much. Strider can be a charming man when he wants to be.

[And she does miss the Egbert gentleman, truly she does. But, at the same time...it's been months since she last saw him. He hasn't been spirited to the Pokemon world at all since then. Mom can't wait forever for someone who might not even come. The only thing she can do is move on from it.]

I also have it on good principle that he was a damn adorable teenager, too.

[If Mom is surprised by his statement, it's nothing compared to the surprise he feels at hearing that statement from her. But then his mind says no, she's either just trying to make him feel better, or she means it in a different way. Platonic way. He's as good as him, but she doesn't think of him like that. That much is obvious, or at least to him it is. That's what he's convinced himself of. So he's not going to get his hopes up, he's just going to take it for what it is.

Though honestly that last part is pretty fucking embarrassing and he just looks away.]


You know what? I think we should keep talkin' about how gorgeous you look in that dress, yeah. Not anything about me and my idiot teenage self.
matini: (Nudge nudge wink wink)

[Mom grins playfully.]

I dunno, Dirk is quite the cutie.
plushaeusrumpified: (he's always with you)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-04-12 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah, fuckin' adorable.

[You can practically hear the eyeroll in his voice.]

But he ain't me. I'm me. And I'm all fuckin' man. Not an adorable bone in my body.
matini: (Tee hee orly?)

[personal profile] matini 2013-04-12 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm...no, I think you're still adorable. Teaching Jigglypuffs how to rap is adorable in my books.

[There is quite a bit of mischief in her grin, now.]

[Why do you do this to him. Seriously why does he deserve such torture.]

I'm just gonna tune you out every time you tell such ugly lies. Yep. Sorry lady, but I'm ignoring you. Just gonna stand here in my not adorable-ness.
matini: (Ohohoho)

[personal profile] matini 2013-04-18 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Because he's fucking cute. She looks utterly amused, too.]

Oh, you want to ignore me instead of dance with me? I see how it is.
