☆ 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 upscale garden party! There'll also be a ballroom indoors for more traditionally fancy red-carpet goings-on, but most of the action (and volume of guests) will be found mingling out back.
GREEN areas are where guests will be staying overnight! Unfortunately, you'll be sleeping-bagging it up, since there's a limited amount of bedrooms in this house and they're all being occupied by Clair, Lance, the Elite Four, and guests who are regrettably way more important than you. However, 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 (and their special guests) 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 prefer the classy elegance of a formal red-carpet gala over the more whimsy outdoor garden party atmosphere in the back. 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 — we've detailed them further right here. 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. There are also pictures of the Elite Four members themselves, though it seems there's been a changeover since the last prom; the candids and Official Portraits™ depict different people entirely now (with the exception of Bruno) and there are a few photos of some sort of ceremony among the others. These photos include Lance being declared Champion of both regions by Professor Oak, while the rest of the Elite Four look on; Lorelai hugging Will and Karen immediately after their promotion to Elite Four; Agatha and Koga having an exhibition battle between her Gengar and his Crobat; all six of them piling into the frame for what amounts to a massive group selfie, etc.

I'm not sweating that bad! [To be fair it'd be a lot worse if he was back home, but details.] A-And I can't help it, it's a condition I've had since I was a kid!

[That's... one way to put it at least.

Berik on the other hand is just going to stick his head out a bit and sniff at the cup. What're you playing at, Naoryuu? This smells a little funny.

...Okay, maybe that's because he's never smelled anything so fruity before, but it's making him screw his face up and flatten his ears back with a whine.]


I-I'm not even thirsty!
konpeitoqueen: (whats up you meme loving fuck)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-04 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It's an air-conditioned room, you're not even supposed to be sweating! Don't pull out any stupid 'condition' excuse out of thin air!

[Naoryuu gets a bit more aggressive. ACCEPT THE DRINK. GODDAMMIT. On closer inspection, it doesn't have anything off other than some Vaporeon drool by the side, which is basically pure water.

Also, the Ninetales, though... he tilts his head a bit.]
bertall: (STAY IN YOUR APARTMENT.)

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-05 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
It's not an excuse! E-Even ask Walter if you don't believe me and we've been rooming together!

[SWEATS AGGRESSIVELY someone save him except rescue isn't... really that likely. He's just going to sort of

flatten himself against the wall as if it'll somehow swallow him up until Berik gently knocks his head against his knee until he actually picks the cup up. Saionji, your pokemon are so weird.]


W-Why are you making such a big deal out of it, a-anyway?
konpeitoqueen: welp (ehhh?)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-05 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Ehhhh...? You and another guy rooming together?

[Saionji, you know it doesn't have to be like that. Uh-oh, you've given her something else to yell about.] How scandalous! And kinda gross. Cliched, too... don't all love stories start like that? You knowing things about the other, and always defending them, even if they don't have anything to offer you...

How unhealthy! [GOD FUCKING DAMMIT] And I'm not making a big deal! I'm just telling you what you should do.

[You have not seen what 'big deal' means to Saionji yet. Well... you'll see at the end of this day, but, still.]

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-05 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
T-There's nothing wrong with two guys living in the same space, and there's plenty of friends that stick together like that! [At least it takes the attention away from his excessive sweating issues, right? Right?] Besides, just because people know things about each other doesn't mean anything! My best friend back home knew me better than I did most of the time!

[OF ALL THE TIMES HE WISHES HE COULD DISAPPEAR IT'S NOW.]

I-If it's not a big deal then why'd you bring it up? [He can't even bring himself to try drinking anything, his hands are shaking so bad right now.]
konpeitoqueen: (kiss kiss fall in love)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-05 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
[whispers softly into the wind

gaaaaaaaaaay]


Oh, so something platonic? Like soapies, then. [Soapies is a completely different plate altogether.] Letting your 'best friend' know more about you than yourself is pretty pathetic, though. I can see why people take advantage of you so easily!

[HAHAHAHAAHAH] It's not a 'big deal', per say... but it is pretty painful to see you standing there and having people stare.

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-05 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[homo intensifies.

They'll be so shocked.]


...You're the only one who keeps trying to take advantage of me.

[THIS PROM THING WAS A STUPID IDEA why did he talk himself into this ugh] They weren't staring at me before you showed up.
konpeitoqueen: hell nothing is mine (awww cmon)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-05 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
You're the one who's letting me do that.

[So yes. She is taking advantage of you. 100%. Exactly how many words can your trust from her?]
bertall: (Default)

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-05 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Only because you start kicking up a fuss if I don't.

[And one of these days he's going to snap and do something




drastic.]
konpeitoqueen: (or ill tear ur face off)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-05 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
So, all I need to do is cry, and you'll just be completely under my thumb? Kyahahah! I rarely meet someone so easily consumed by fake tears!

[Like




putting her up a tree?]
bertall: (We kind of crashed their funeral party.)

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-06 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
...I just don't like the sound of people crying. I've heard enough of it for one lifetime.

[



Exactly.]
konpeitoqueen: hell nothing is mine (awww cmon)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-06 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Cry her a fucking river, Bert.]

Who do you think you are, some tragic hero of a story?

Everyone has! Live with it.

[seriously though, leave her up there the entirety of day 2, just make sure Clair doesn't find out]
bertall: (Default)

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-06 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have to be a hero to not like it, Saionji.

[He's the furthest thing from a hero but shhhh]

A-And I've been living with it since I was a kid. You don't have to tell me that.

[It'd be worth it if she did though. So worth it.]
konpeitoqueen: (...huh.)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-06 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course not! But you're making yourself sound like one... is that what you want to be, then?

I can't blame you for that... but you're going to have to be ten times better than what you are now if you even want to think about helping people!

[SO WORTH IT]
bertall: (Default)

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-07 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Bertholt + helping people = getting that item off the top shelf]

Maybe I wanted to be one a long time ago when I was a kid playing soldier, but not anymore.
konpeitoqueen: (ahahahahah... i'll fucking krill you)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-07 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
So you're disillusioned, at least.

[Who doesn't want to be a hero when they're small?] Well! I'm getting bored with you; either take my advice, or embarrass yourself.
bertall: (Default)

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-07 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[The same can't be said for his best friend sadly. Reiner no.]

The only advice you've given me that was actually good was to stay away from the microwaved burritos.
konpeitoqueen: (fucking do as i say fucknugget)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-08 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Good by your limited definition! You should take it all to heart. When you're ruined, you'll be cursing yourself!

Well, I shouldn't waste time trying to play piano for a cow. I've only so much life to live.

[And she just... calls Naoryuu back, turning away.]
