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.

Yep! I really like them. But...who knows if we'll get any or not! I guess I didn't hear about any. I should ask Clair!

[ Perhaps Clair keeps some in her pocket, or something.

Or knows a guy who knows a guy... ]
artificialrose: (daydreamgalleries) (But I'm still alive.)

Even if Clair doesn't have any, maybe we could make our own? There are Fire Pokemon, after all... But we'd have to have some Water types, just to be safe, and I'm afraid I don't have any.

[The tragedy of being a trainer who gravitates towards fire types.]

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-05 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh, that's true. I don't have any water Pokemon on me either, though. Just Normal, Dragon, and Grass slash Fighting!

[ So she can't help you there, either. :c ]
artificialrose: (daydreamgalleries) (Apparently I ordered a pogo stick)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-04-05 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there's always other fireworks, right? I'm sure they'll each be beautiful in their own way, right?
pokestars: (shauna)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-05 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
That's the best thing about fireworks! They're always pretty, and it's never quite like the time before. But...I think each time you see them, it reminds you of all the other times you've seen fireworks, and the people you watched them with.

[ Friends, all of them, old and new. ]
artificialrose: (yumis-icons) (He bought me flowers.)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-04-06 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
That's true... I think I would remember a lot of friends, in that case, from all the fireworks on New Year's Eve.

But even just the prom itself is guaranteed to have a lot of nice memories even without the fireworks.

Have you had any nice memories of it so far, mister?
artificialrose: (candycloud) (You gotta stick together in horror)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-04-13 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! I've been able to make a friend of mine very happy. I think the memories for us here together... will make up for some bad ones we've had.
pokestars: (shauna)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-19 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm sorry you've had bad memories...I mean, I know everyone has done, but it still sucks when they do, you know? I hope you make lots and lots of good ones instead, here!
artificialrose: (candycloud) (You gotta stick together in horror)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-04-19 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
I do as well! I think as long as my friend and I are together, we'll be able to make a lot of new ones.

Even when things seem bleak, we've been able to brighten things up for one another.
