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.

[Currently making her way past the dancefloor over to the drinks (god, it's nice to be able to have a bit of alcohol again...), Celes can't help but notice the girl in the yellow dress currently having a grand old time dancing with herself. She's content to keep going and leave her be, until her gaze drops to her feet.

...

Sneakers? With a ball gown?! Who even let this girl in?

Celes is more than happy to try and pretend that this...person doesn't exist and be on her way - until, at the last moment, said person twirls around, and Celes gets a full view of her face.

...]


Asahina-san?

[...this is going to be a long night.]
justkeptswimming: So I dive straight back in the ocean (I open my eyes and I see that it's you)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-06 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow, Celes, way to completely miss the horribly clashing dratini around her neck. Get with the program, girl.

Asahina freezes mid-boogie, staring at Celes with wide eyes. She already knew Celes was in Johto thanks to Naegi but actually interacting her is a whole other ballgame.]


...Celes-chan.
divinitea: (AMUSED ♣ all of these keywords are lies)

[personal profile] divinitea 2014-04-07 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Celes pauses for a moment, her eyes flicking up and down the length of Asahina's body - before her usual smile slides back onto her face.]

How lovely it is, to see you again...and in such auspicious circumstances.

[...now, what part of the whole Hope's Peak debacle are you from...? Judging by that reaction, she's willing to bet it's something similar to Kirigiri and Naegi.

...hee hee hee.]


Are you enjoying yourself, here in Johto?
justkeptswimming: Cause that song that sent me swimming (I can't remember the verse)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-07 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Peachy to see you again too, Celes. Once the initial shock of seeing yet another dead classmate in the flesh (how many does that make now, 4?) Asahina's expression shifts from shock to something more serious.

Three guesses who is still not happy with you that whole entire last 3/4 of chapter 3 and the firt two don't count.]


I am, yeah. [If the baby dragonworm around her neck is any indication.]
divinitea: (SMILE ♠ you're an idiot ^_^)

[personal profile] divinitea 2014-04-07 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Ohoho, someone seems a little grumpy tonight! How very amusing...]

You don't sound like it.

[It's almost like her presence has had some sort of effect on you! But surely that isn't the case.]

You're usually so talkative, and yet...tonight you seem oddly reserved. How very curious.

It's almost like you aren't happy to see me.
