☆ 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

[aburame]

A Gyarados attempting to consume someone? Although it may partially be due to a change in temperament after evolving, I assume...

[itsjustdust]

It can't be all of it. Pokemon still remember everything when they evolve.

[aburame]

None of mine have evolved yet, but I can see why.

Because they are essentially the same Pokemon. ["same"]

[itsjustdust]

Really, it's just like... like poke-puberty, really, just not exactly?

[aburame]

... Closer to that than the usual principles of evolution.

[More like a sudden dramatic transformation than change over successive generations.]

[itsjustdust]

So yeah, they'll feel different, and be physically different, but they are still them the same way a little kid is the adult later.

[aburame]

That is a way of putting it.

[Do you hear it? It's the undeniable sound of water falling and pounding below. They're close!]

[itsjustdust]

Course it is, otherwise I wouldn't've put it that way.

[On hearing it he resumed the tugging, pulling the taller teen along without a second's thought in his hurry.]

[aburame]

[He's careful with his footing, unwilling to trip because of Obito's eagerness.]

Obito... the waterfall is not going anywhere.

[itsjustdust]

[He slows at the chide, sheepish.]

Okay, point. Got a little overeager,they're always so neat looking.

[aburame]

Mmhm. [A slight shake of the head, dismissing it. It's fine. He just has his own pace.]

[The sight of the waterfall eventually emerges from behind all the dense forest. It is pretty neat looking.]

[itsjustdust]

[He leaned forward, peering out over the path to see if they were near any ledges.] Don't wanna get stuck, right?

[aburame]

[... Most certainly no.]

Do you want to get closer?

[itsjustdust]

Course I do. C'mon. [He spotted a path, promptly setting off down it.]

[aburame]

[That way? Alright. The descent isn't too difficult, considering the path's been worn from people before them.]

[itsjustdust]

If they didn't keep this area cut off they'd probably be swamped all the time just because of the scenery, you think?

[aburame]

Likely one of their reasons why this place has been designated as their vacation retreat.

Most of our time has been limited to large cities... [And although each new town has its merits, this place is particularly unique.]

[itsjustdust]

And cities kinda suck. Good for convenience, bad for a lot of other stuff. [He nodded and looked out over the water.]

[aburame]

Busy... [trails off] Both have their advantages.

[Johto had quiet towns, but Kanto seems a lot more modern and industrialised. Then again, he hasn't roamed far from Celadon after the first two weeks.]

[itsjustdust]

It's true, I just miss having places I can go where you can't hear people, you know?

[aburame]

There is nothing wrong with good company... but yes.

[With a few hundred thousand insects with him, he hasn't truly been alone before coming here.]

[itsjustdust]

[He looked over at him.] I like company, but not everyone is content to not say something, that's all.

[aburame]

[He's quirking a brow back.

... Not saying anything? He can do that.]

[itsjustdust]

[He caught the look, blinked, then turned rather sheepish.] I didn't mean right this second.

[aburame]

[Hm? Either way he has nothing really to say to that.]
