'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
hoperaider: (Oops I did it again)

[personal profile] hoperaider 2013-04-13 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it can be pretty overwhelming. I have to escape somewhere else every now and then in towns to get some solitude, and to regain my composure.

[It's hard, but the need for solitude has been getting less every week he's been here. He's...not sure what else to say, but....]

It's...a shame Roxy isn't here. She would've loved this.
healium: (wave)

[personal profile] healium 2013-04-13 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Hoo hoo, she would be living it up and hauling us all around, making sure we danced till we dropped.

[We, all four of us. Jane quiets again, also not sure what to say. Picking up some snacks at the table again, she pushes a half smile out.] And you, sir, have a date! I shouldn't keep you from him, you've got dancing to do!
hoperaider: (Uh...well that's awkward)

[personal profile] hoperaider 2013-04-18 10:59 am (UTC)(link)
No kidding! The rowdier the better, too, I'm sure.

[Jake shakes his head.]

We decided to split up and find friends after the first dance.

[He frowns a little.]

Has nobody asked you to dance, yet, Jane? [Because he'll be offended if she hasn't on her behalf. Why wouldn't anybody dance with a pretty girl like her? Like, seriously?]
healium: (awkward hey)

[personal profile] healium 2013-04-18 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? Oh, uh, well, a little dancing has happened. Poppop and Rose both found me on separate occasions, so hoo hoo, it's like I've been taking some lessons at the same time as actually dancing.

[Laughing a little, she ends up stuck fidgeting with her hands, trying to not pick at her nails. Well yes, she would like to dance with Jake, but he's kind of dating right now and -- isn't there some kind of thing where they can't dance? There should be some reason she can't dance with him because that's just her luck.

Increasingly awkward Crocker, yup.

hoperaider: THE ONES ON HIS FACE GOD (You know you wanna pinch his cheeks)

[personal profile] hoperaider 2013-04-21 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Then...do you mind if I take this next dance with you?

[If there is a rule, then Jake doesn't know it. He just wants to dance with his close friend and see her have a good time.]
healium: (Default)

[personal profile] healium 2013-04-22 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
[It as like she saw it coming and was thinking no no no no no no you shouldn't ask, and then he asked and she couldn't stop looking wistful, but at least her expression is facing down at her hands first. Good god she wants to. It still hurts, but.. right, friends can dance together. Hoping to everything that he didn't see her looking that way, she turns her eyes up and smiles gently.]

I'd like that.
hoperaider: (Are you saying that you believe in me?)

[personal profile] hoperaider 2013-06-06 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[He grins and takes her hand, leading her to the dance floor.]

Um...any type of dance in particular?
healium: (baking)

[personal profile] healium 2013-06-09 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Just whatever the song calls for. [A waltz. Which at least it isn't a tango that involves faces pressing together, heavens no.]
