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).

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[She's not going say anything at all to Heather's little taunt. Instead, she's just going to lay there quietly for a few seconds...and then lash out with her elbow, aiming to hit Heather's smug little face. Hard. If that works, expect Jeane to take advantage of the blow pretty quickly, by trying to get Heather on the ground instead.

...except instead of holding her down, she'll just sit on her.]

_{[... Wellp. Yeah, she didn't expect that.]

[She DOES react quickly enough to move her HEAD out of the way, but that just means the sharp elbow gets slammed into the crook of her NECK, which isn't honestly much better. Ow.]

[She lets out a strangled cry and removes the weight she'd been pressing down on Jeane with-- only to get wrestled to the ground herself.]

[But while it works, she doesn't go down easily-- writhing and clawing like a damn wildcat. The stream of profanities escaping her is distinctly human, though.]}

[I assure you, the profanity is like music to Jeane's ears. Although she doesn't appreciate those new scratch marks very much.]

I'm an assassin who specializes in hand-to-hand combat, Heather. Did you honestly think this would end differently?

[...oh wait, she never said WHAT she specialized in. Oops, her bad.]

_{[With her mask lying on the ground next to her, Heather just sort of grits her teeth, straining to try and throw Jeane off. But it ain't happenin'.]

[But when the words sink in.... oh. Oh yeah. She WAS an assassin, wasn't she... well, shit. Heather had legitimately forgotten that part, both due to not recognizing her AND just the heat of the moment.]

[She doesn't really have an answer for that, so her response is just to growl an emphatic "BITCH." and try and jam a sharp elbow into whatever part of Jeane she can reach.]

[Because ATTACKING THE SELF-CONFESSED ASSASSIN WHILE YOU'RE PINNED DOWN IS REALLY A GOOD IDEA.]}

[Taking a page out of Jeane's book would probably be a good idea. Except...she's not that stupid. Moving out of the way to avoid the blow, Jeane changes up her position so that she can get Heather in a leg lock. Because really, when you've already stabbed someone with a metaphorical knife, you might as well give it a little twist.]

_{[Heather lets out a squawk as her leg is yanked into the lock.]}

Fuck!

Let GO!

_{[Cue twisting wildly underneath her, trying futilely to reach SOMETHING to punch or claw. It doesn't really work.]}

[Well fine, she'll loosen up just a smidge.]

You want me to let go? Give me the booze for free this time.

[Yes, you bet your ass she's going to be a petty bitch about it.]

_{[The words "Over my dead body" are actually on Heather's lips before, in a blinding flash of duh, she realizes that that MIGHT NOT BE A GOOD IDEA TO SAY TO AN ASSASSIN.]

[Instead she grits her teeth and snarls.]}

Go to hell, bitch!

_{[And there's your answer.]}

Already been there. Unsurprisingly, it's a bit over-hyped.

[And just to be a bitch, she'll pull on her leg again, this time harder than before.]

Now, feel like changing your mind?

_{[She has to chomp down on her lip to not let out another 'OW'-- she'd rather save her dignity as much as possible. Y'know, what's left of it.]}

NOT gonna happen!

You wanna stay here like this all night with no pay-off?

No pay-off? I'd say entertainment is a decent enough pay-off.

[Don't mind her, she'll just try to grab that other leg, cross it over the other, and then pull them both back for a double leglock.]

_{[When Heather feels Jeane shift, she thrashes with her leg, aiming to get one good kick-to-the-face in. It's not enough to escape, and probably not enough to prevent said leg from getting captured into the lock either, but it makes her feel a little better. :Ib]

[She doesn't have a very verbose reply for that, just a strangled snarl.]}
