'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
moveslikestrider: (How we can behave?)

He laughs at that. "Best way to be. Betting she wanted in on the fun." Dave actually smiles at that, it's brief but present. Having fun is a badass reason in his mind. "It's kinda like setting up a sprinkler system and running through it. Not that I'd know, city guy not an suburban one."

His version of a sprinkler experience was running out into the rain. Something he never got to appreciate because he was rushing to meet the bus in his area to go to school or somewhere else, if it a weekend. "Shit. That's right. Summer will be hitting us at some point." Man. If he gets a lot of sun, he'll be back to tan and snowblinding everyone.
wontturntostone: (Always lighting the way.)

"I suppose there is a certain draw to doing things without thinking them through," Kanaya just...wasn't very good at that. At all. "She does seem to embrace the concept."

And then she actually grinned. "I have heard. I am looking forward to it finally being warm."
moveslikestrider: (Looking for anything.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-04-20 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Just watch out for sunburn, that shit sucks. Sunblock and stuff like that helps with it though." He nods imperceptively as puts his hands into his pockets. "There's quite a lot of fun in doing stuff without thinking it through. Keeps all the big thoughts at bay until later." Dave does it all the time. He leaves the thinking for late night hours.
wontturntostone: (Pushed To Breaking)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-04-21 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
"I prefer to think things through most of the time, I..." Her attention wasn't really on the conversation there, just frowning faintly at him.

"...Sunburn?"
moveslikestrider: (They will not force us.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-04-22 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
He opens his mouth to start a ramble and shuts it. Of course she wouldn't know what a sunburn is. Dave shifts and rolls up his sleeve, showing her suntanned skin from his morning training. "This is a tan. Human skin does this after a while of being in the sun. But, if you hang out too long under the searing ball of fire in the sky, your skin turns pink then lobster red. If anyone slaps one of those, no one will blame you for punching the offender."
wontturntostone: (Elegant)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-04-23 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"I...see," she glanced down at her own skin, naturally darker than Dave was 'tanned' it seemed, her expression thoughtful for a moment.

"On Alternia the sun couldn't hurt me. I was the only one, in fact. I wonder if perhaps that transferred over to here..." He wasn't really sure if that was even possible, but the thought of the sun hurting her was just...so foreign.
moveslikestrider: (So we waited.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-04-23 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's possible." He rolls his sleeve back up and spreads his hands in a wide sweeping gesture. "Skin is as varied as people are. You might burn fast, might not burn at all. You'll know when the time comes. Sunblock is still the smart option to take." Dave mulls it over, thinking about the specifics.

"Aloe vera is a good burn soother if you ever get a sunburn. Dunno if they have it here but the nurses will have something."
wontturntostone: (Ho hum)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-04-25 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
"I will keep that in mind," she finally decided, nodding. "But I may still attempt to see if the sun can actually harm me first."

She was just having a hard time imagining it at all.
moveslikestrider: (Now I make it.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-04-28 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Just keep in mind if you need it, sunblock is easily found and bought." Dave nods as he examines the dance floor then looks to her. "Now, I've been rude long enough. Care to dance?"
wontturntostone: (Elegant)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-05-03 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Kanaya seemed to think it over for a moment before she nodded, offering out a hand to him.

"Yes, of course."

Dave takes her hand lightly in his and leads her to a clear spot on the dance floor. She's taller than he is, for the moment. That might change in later years. Or might not, who cared. He's not too bad of a dancer by now, he's got enough experience under his belt to make it all smooth and comfortable.
wontturntostone: (Mmm let's see...)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-05-10 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Kanaya had mostly been picking up dancing as the night went on, so she's not so bad at it by now, following his lead easily enough and quite used to being taller than pretty much everyone.

"You are fairly good at tihs."
