☆ 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.

[He would gladly respect your personal space if he had any concept of it. Zip stays right there, watching Kuzuryuu with those unblinking eyes in a manner that's not intentionally creepy, but certainly comes off that way. Zip you're not helping, shoo.]

Y-yes, of course.

[Chihiro lifts the books a bit higher in his arms as he says this, idly hoping that nobody else trips over that rug if they happen by. Someone should really see about that...]
impheired: but it looked like he might have a shank, and i'm just not at a place in my life where i could handle having tetanus (unsure ♚ i almost took a picture)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-04-05 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes Zip, please. Shoo. Shoo before Kuzuryuu does more than just dodge and swat at you. You're really fucking creepy. Stop staring at him with your dead, digital eyes.]

[But aside from that, wow look at all this awkward silence. This might come as a surprise, Chihiro, but Kuzuryuu is awful at socializing. Shocking, I know. The fact that he knows you're delicate, knows WHY you're so delicate, AND the fact that one of the few friends he actually has would be very upset with him if he upset you...only makes this even worse.]


...do you need help with that?
codeforhope: (● sometimes a shadow wins)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-05 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Kuzuryuu, the fact that you haven't made Chihiro cry yet is earning you a lot of brownie points. It's awkward, yes, but Chihiro's not exactly the best at socializing either.

He hesitates for a beat when Kuzuryuu offers to help before just...shyly nods before cautiously handing Kuzuryuu two of the books so he's not trying to carry, like, eight at once. Chihiro why do you have that many at once anyway...

For a moment he looks like he's going to say something else, but instead he just turns and quickly makes a beeline for the area he'd been sitting so he can deposit the books on the table. Crawling over the top of the chair is a Sewaddle, who appears rather interested in a long string of silk she's constructed.]
impheired: with a trip to the emergency room, a broken macbook and a gigantic hole in the concrete of my driveway. (stare ♚ it started as a joke and ended)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-04-06 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[No wonder you didn't notice the carpet Chihiro. You really didn't need this many books...]

[But alright, if this is all Chihiro wants him to do to help then so be it. He totally could have carried more than two of those books but whatever. He'll just follow Chihiro over to his table wordlessly, while his Bisharp follows Kuzuryuu himself just as quietly. There's a flapping noise from above as Hiroto leaves his perch atop the shelf the boys were standing in front of to follow after them as well. Yeah he was kinda just...up there...the whole time. Okay, Hiroto, that's not weird or creepy at all...]


...what is that thing?

[He's clearly referring to the Sewaddle here.]
codeforhope: (● no matter what we breed ●)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-06 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Mm..?

[Chihiro turns back to Kuzuryuu once he's set the books down, following his gaze to Shiruku, where she's still perched atop the back of the chair. The surface of the chair is very, very....webby, considering the fact that she's made it a point to cover the entire thing with silk for some reason. She had just been moving to admire her handywork when the two walked up. Hello friends, check out her masterpiece.]

Oh, um....she's a Sewaddle. They like to....make things with silk.

[Case in point the hopefully not-ruined chair there.]
impheired: mouse traps and brownies on my porch? (unsure ♚ just wondering. did you put)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-04-06 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[That is...quite the masterpiece there. Yup. It...sure is a silk covered chair. Amazing.]

I...see...
codeforhope: [game sprite] (● anyway)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-06 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shiruku seems pleased at the attention, chirping happily when Chihiro rubs the top of her head.]

Don't forget to clean that up, Shiruku....we don't want to get in trouble.

[The Sewaddle nods slowly before turning back to the patches of silk coating the chair, beginning to work to carefully peel them off and dispose of them. One of these days she'll be making clothes with things like a pro, you just watch.

...Ok, we're going to avoid another awkward silence if Chihiro can help it, so let's...try to do this thing.

He looks back over at Kuzuryuu, remembering the struggle he was having with finding books previously, thanks to his mischievous Pokemon.]


Um....were there any....particular books you were looking for, Kuzuryuu-kun?
impheired: better when people don’t know what you’re up to. (talk ♚ i realized that life is so much)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-04-07 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[What a good little caterpillar baby...]

Aa not...really, no. Mostly the Elite Four's research. Info on dark types...

[So far so good on avoiding the awkward silence.]
codeforhope: (● though it's been)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-07 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods to the pile of books on the table.]

Me too....but I've been interested in reading about psychic and fighting types in particular. I've been trying to....choose which pokemon I should try to breed.

[So far he's got....normal, normal.......normal........bug/grass. Way to go on the variety front.]
impheired: where is the sex going? does it even have a license (unsure ♚ what is a sex drive?)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-04-07 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Holy shit, somebody doing even worse than Kuzuryuu and his predominantly at least part-dark team. Incredible.]

So you're a breeder then? [Way to go, Captain Obvious.] Why those two types?
codeforhope: [game sprite] (● but that's ok)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-07 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE'S....trying. In his defense, Porygon really doesn't seem like it should be a Normal type.]

Well....to be honest, I'm more interested in Fighting than Psychic, but I wanted to read about both while I had the chance.

Many Psychic Pokemon rely on special attacks, while Fighting rely on physical.....but they both are strong in their own ways. Just because one prefers a certain type of strength over the other....doesn't make them any less valuable, or strong.

...I don't know. ...I just.....find it interesting.
impheired: but then you got greedy and decided to eat it all (talk ♚ you decided to have a pasta fight)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-04-11 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's...kind of surprising. He really wouldn't have guessed fighting type by looking at Chihiro. But then again, given what Nanami said...]

Mmm... [Come on, Kuzuryuu. You can do this. You can keep this conversation alive. Why are you so bad at small talk.]

A lot of this shit is...more interesting than you'd think.
codeforhope: [game sprite] (● but that's ok)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-12 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
It is... I didn't expect for there to be this many books on them, so I've been enjoying reading all of the information...taking notes for later, and all that.

I'm guessing you're...a trainer, right?
