☆ 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
wontturntostone: (Mmm let's see...)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-06-03 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Kanaya turns her attention towards their feet, trying to follow Aradia's movements, much as she had when John was teaching her a different dance earlier.]

...Why would I lead normally?
timelymaid: art by <user name=strovi site=tumblr.com> (= wut.)

[personal profile] timelymaid 2013-06-03 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
You're taller! I'm given to believe that means you lead?

[ ...Actually, now she's not sure. B|a How do humans actually decide this sort of thing? ]
wontturntostone: (Mmm let's see...)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-06-03 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. Okay. [She doesn't mind, but for now she follows since she doesn't know what she's doing.]

Humans have very strange customs sometimes.
timelymaid: art by <user name=spkolala site=tumblr.com> (= well!)

[personal profile] timelymaid 2013-06-07 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
They do! Like all the dead Christmas plants.

[ FOREVER UNSURE ABOUT ALL THE DEAD CHRISTMAS PLANTS.

Aradia's leading admirably, though, not exactly looking at their feet, but capable of keeping up the simple steps without stamping on Kanaya's own feet. ]


I don't get that custom.
wontturntostone: (Elegant)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-06-08 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
I believe they consider it a sacrifice necessary for proper holiday decoration.

[Kanaya's not precisely thrilled with the process either.]

[She follows along, picking it up fairly quickly, and eventually she can even look up from Aradia's feet, offering a tentative smile.]


I believe I am getting it.
timelymaid: art by <user name=dodostad site=tumblr.com> (+ genuine smile. close.)

[personal profile] timelymaid 2013-06-08 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Which makes it a bit more homelike, I suppose! Sacrifices around holidays.

[ She's pretty much teasing about that, although their home is pretty violent.

And when Kanaya looks up, she'll see Aradia has been smiling the entire time. ]


You are! I knew you'd be good at this; you've always been coordinated.
wontturntostone: (It Will Be Alright)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-06-09 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
I have always been good at faking coordination, Aradia. It is not quite the same thing. [Still, the other teen was right, Kanaya was picking it up rather quickly. And she was enjoying herself as she did so...it was nice to figure out this sort of thing, and she could hardly argue with the company.]

If this wasn't the dancing John taught you, where did you learn?
timelymaid: art by <user name=strovi site=tumblr.com> (= arms around knees. watching.)

[personal profile] timelymaid 2013-06-15 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
It is nearly the same thing!

[ There's another little laugh at the question. ]

Believe it or not, some of my coworkers taught me. Sometimes they'll play the radio at work, when we're cleaning up after close, and...well, you get the picture, right?
wontturntostone: (Elegant)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-06-15 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Kanaya looks thoughtful for a moment. She's worked at many of the same places as Aradia at this point, and she can't help but smile at the mental image.]

That sounds rather fun.
timelymaid: art by <user name=strovi site=tumblr.com> (Default)

[personal profile] timelymaid 2013-06-22 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
It is! We'll have to make certain to start something up next time we share a job and shift, don't you think?
wontturntostone: (Always lighting the way.)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-06-22 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
I think I could live with that.
timelymaid: art by <user name=strovi site=tumblr.com> (& kanaya. my lady.)

[personal profile] timelymaid 2013-07-03 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I wouldn't make you die with it!

[ ...was that a joke. ]
wontturntostone: (Hugging for your own good.)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-07-05 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Kanaya just sighs fondly.]

Given your death-obsession, I feel I should say thank you for that.
timelymaid: art by <user name=madammonkey site=tumblr.com> (= party hat activate!)

[personal profile] timelymaid 2013-07-07 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't say I'm obsessed!

I mean, do you think I'm obsessed?
wontturntostone: (Ho hum)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-07-07 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps a small bit.

Or, at least, fascinated by it.
timelymaid: art by <user name=light-brights site=tumblr.com> (- whoops.)

[personal profile] timelymaid 2013-07-13 11:37 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's fascinating! Or perhaps being dead for all that time just made me curious about it.

[ you were curious about it beforehand, Aradia. ]

Or speaking with the dead all my life, really.
wontturntostone: (Always Supporting.)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-07-14 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
[That 'being dead' comment brings a frown to Kanaya's face, but she manages to hide it well enough. So many of them have had to die, and even those who were still alive had been through so much. Or died before, as the two of them had.]

It's not such a bad thing. You are not nearly as depressed as someone else with the same fascination might be.
timelymaid: art by <user name=strovi site=tumblr.com> (+ content. quiet.)

[personal profile] timelymaid 2013-07-20 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, what reason do I have to be? I'm alive! And that's something that's truly amazing, when all is said and done.
wontturntostone: (My Word!)

[personal profile] wontturntostone 2013-07-25 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[That makes the former vampire smile.]

It is, isn't it? Considering everything that happened, we're quite fortunate.

[They'd both spit in the face of death, as the circumstances went.]
timelymaid: art by <user name=strovi site=tumblr.com> (Default)

[personal profile] timelymaid 2013-07-28 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly! So I don't think there's much to be sad or upset about, all things considered.
