☆ YOU ARE (STILL) 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

Comments

[itsjustdust]

[He laughed and looked sideways at him.]

I'm glad you agree.

[aburame]

[Shino doesn't do cute cute but ok. Now that they've accomplished their objective, he's settled back into a contemplative silence.]

... It's... nice. Here.

[Could almost be the forests around their village at home.]

[itsjustdust]

[He was quiet a beat at that, looking around.] Hey Shino?

[aburame]

...?

[This is as much of a questioning look that you're ever going to get out of him.]

[itsjustdust]

If you get to go home... Will you go say hi to me on that side sometime, if you can?

[aburame]

[To... him. The memorial?]

I... will do my best to not be late.

[itsjustdust]

[He smiled, then laughed, clearly happy with his reaction.]

Not interested in my bad habits huh?

[aburame]

Not if it can be helped.

[It's put lightly, for Shino.]

[itsjustdust]

Mmmm well I guess that's only fair, I already got one mimic out there. [He looked over at him and smirked.] But we got goggles so that'll work.

[aburame]

[At the mention of said goggles, he'll adjust them slightly. It's not often his face is this uncovered these days.]

That one hadn't occurred to me... [there's that! Only coincidence though, not mimicry.]

[itsjustdust]

I know that's not a me thing... I just like that we both like them.

[aburame]

[Naruto used to wear a pair too, didn't he.]

Something shared in common then... [Better to see similarities than differences between.]

[itsjustdust]

[He nodded, clearly happy.] Exactly! I mean, there's nothing wrong with that.

[aburame]

If anything, often similarities lead to a mutual understanding of some things.

[Nothing wrong with it at all.]

[itsjustdust]

Is that your way of saying that you like that we have something in common, because it means that we'll understand each other better?

[aburame]

... Not these, necessarily. [Who knows why he wears them. It is all a ~mystery~]

[itsjustdust]

So yes, but you weren't talking about our goggle habits.

[aburame]

[Obito, are you going to decipher everything that comes out of his mouth.]

I was speaking in general terms... But one might say it would apply to us.

[itsjustdust]

[He's not doing it on purpose! Still, he laughed.]

Course it does. I mean, we're clearly both awesome, yeah?

[aburame]

[Doesn't respond to that. He's only aware of what he can or can't do.]

... Would you like to return inside?

[itsjustdust]

Awww, I wasn't trying to make you feel put on the spot, really. [He moved over, taking his arm and leaning on him with a grin.]

[aburame]

[... A 'no' then. That's fine by him. It's far more peaceful out here anyway.

He seems almost conflicted with what to do about Obito, but allows him to lean on him.]

[itsjustdust]

[He was a little surprised, but more than happy to stay planted there if the guy didn't intend to shove him off, leaning into him.]

Yeah, it's pretty nice out here huh? I bet we won't be able to come back, so we should probably make the most of it.

[aburame]

Most likely. It's surprising that this opportunity has come up at all...

[Had it not, they'd still be in Celadon and wouldn't have seen any one of them so early.]

[itsjustdust]

Yeah, I'm not gonna question it though. [He shook his head and gave him a light tug.] Let's find the waterfall.
