☆ 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

[itsjustdust]

Yeah. If she'd tried to report him after that she would've been arrested and that just wouldn't have helped anything. We've already had two of my group in jail because they tried to move from place to place too fast."

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Carter gives his professional opinion] That's bullshit.

You can't arrest somebody for leaving town unless they jump bail or something.

[itsjustdust]

Got arrested for quitting their job early.

[lieutenantantichrist]

I knew this place was crazy, but how is that a crime?

[itsjustdust]

I really have no idea but they spent a week in jail for it.

[lieutenantantichrist]

Christ, and I thought the one back home about not smoking near buildings was stupid.

[This place is even more screwed up than he thought. Law is supposed to be something you can rely on.]

[itsjustdust]

[He shook his head and gave a wry smile.] Can't say I've seen it do me and mine much good yet.

[lieutenantantichrist]

You can't judge everywhere by Child Soldier Planet and whatever this is.

In the real world, law's what keeps everybody from doing whatever they want and making the whole thing go to hell.

[itsjustdust]

[He rolled his eyes.] We have laws. In fact, we have laws strict enough in some cases to call for execution, so don't say it like that.

[lieutenantantichrist]

Jesus, by what, the Kindergarten Firing Squad?

Child soldiers, that's supposed to be illegal in the first place.

[itsjustdust]

Hey, it's not all that bad. You have to start shinobi training young no matter what, but at least they hold back the kids from the war front as much as they can in my village.

[lieutenantantichrist]

Yeah, sure can't be a whatever that is if you don't get a head start.

So you're the humanitarians.

[itsjustdust]

Erm, no. It's more that the abilities just don't work if you start too late in life. It's like... like flexibility. If you wait until your late teens you're not going to be as flexible, ever, as someone who started at say, four, right?

[lieutenantantichrist]

Sure, gotta start killing people early or you might miss that prime window for getting good at it. I think I heard about that being somewhere around first grade.

[itsjustdust]

I think you missed the middle by a mile. No no, first, the abilities are a physical thing. Training that makes certain abilities work is started early. They keep you at home until you're skilled enough to take care of yourself. Anything else is a waste of lives, seriously man.
