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.

impheired: and have no chance of getting laid or robbing a casino. i consider this opportunity a failure. (sad ♚ i'm wearing a suit)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-04-05 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
I guess.

[Just the one picture though! You better not expect more than that!!!]

It'll be proof of the memory of coming here. ...And of dressing up. Although, you usually wear a suit anyway...you dressed up, too, right?

[ She wants photographic proof of all of them looking nice and having fun.

...

You know, until everyone goes INSANE. ]
impheired: better when people don’t know what you’re up to. (talk ♚ i realized that life is so much)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-04-05 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[KUZURYUU IS NOT HAVING FUN THOUGH. THIS WHOLE THING IS STILL STUPID. But you are right, he does look pretty damn nice. Not that he doesn't normally because he's always wearing at least a nice dress shirt if not a full suit...]

Of course I did. They would have kicked me out otherwise.

[Hence the snazzy vest. And the...one lone splash of color that is his tie...]

[But okay, here we are. Standing in the ballroom, yup. Gonna dance............]

[personal profile] lullabytes 2014-04-08 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't think so. You usually look like you're dressed really nice anyway, right? So...I think you wanted to, at least a little.

[ Is she...teasing? Or just pointing out what she thinks is obvious, again?

Either way, she holds out a hand to Kuzuryuu, expectantly. ]
impheired: how admirable it was that i felt comfortable going out with my friends dressed "like that" (sigh ♚ my little sister just told me)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-04-11 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Tch!

[What a well thought out and reasonable answer. At least he's taking her hand, though, so even if he's very clearly trying to end that line of conversation, he's not as done with her as he could be.]

[Alright, so what dance are we going to do here, Nanami. Hopefully it's something simple enough for Kuzuryuu to bullshit his way through. Because his knowledge of dancing consists entirely of watching people at weddings and maybe the occasional dance scene in a movie or on TV...and watching what everyone else around them is doing.]

[ Well, this is a fancypants dance party, it looks like we're going to waltz! ]

...Can you lead, or do I need to?
impheired: stop autocorrecting all my fucks into ducks. you're making all my strong worded texts look harmless and adorable. (angry ♚ seriously iphone.)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-04-30 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I can fucking lead!!

[...I am not sure what you expected his answer to be, Nanami.]

[But okay, waltzing. Simple enough as far as dances go, he's got this. Granted, he's not very fancy with his movements and honestly a little stiffer than he probably should be but he is dancing. And he is somehow managing to do at least a decent job of leading.]

[ARE YOU QUITE SATISFIED YET, NANAMI??]

[personal profile] lullabytes 2014-05-04 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...ALMOST SATISFIED...

But yeah she is doing a decent dancing job too, shockingly. THOSE LESSONS PAID OFF and she's concentrating really hard. ]


See, this is fun, right...? We need to take a picture after this.
impheired: issue where i hate myself but i still think that i'm better than everyone else. (sulk ♚ i have this weird self-esteem)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-05-09 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You have a strange idea of fun...

[No, Kuzuryuu, you're the one with a strange idea of fun. Do you even know what fun means? I don't think you do.]

But alright. [Apparently we're okay with pictures? Probably not going to smile for it but hey, he's at least not objecting to it so that's something.]
lullabytes: official art (& kuzuryuu. what's up?)

[personal profile] lullabytes 2014-05-13 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's rather normal...

[ AFTER HE TAKES A PICTURE WITH HER, she will turn him loose.

Or start to, when the Poolgate Incident occurs....... ]
