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.

[By the end of the day, Tsumiki is finding herself very shorted out on the social department. She may not speak with a lot of people, but being around so many of them is enough to be overwhelming. Not to mention the high energy environment and it all adds up to one worn out, ready to find a quiet place to enjoy herself nurse. But instead of finding that quiet place, she spots Hinata. She can't very well not say hi.]

...a-are you enjoying yourself, Hinata-san?

[Surely sitting with him will be quiet enough.]
tallandproud: (We have to make our own future!)

[He looks up when Tsumiki speaks up. Hinata has Vaporeon in his lap, idly rubbing his tummy. He still has no idea what to call his pokemon. Monomi had been easy, these might already have names that he doesn't remember. It's a little confusing.

He shifts a bit to the side so the poor tired nurse can sit down.]
Yes, it's been a lot of fun. Are you enjoying yourself, Tsumiki?

[She looks tired. He should offer to get her something to drink.] Do you need me to get you anything? You should sit down.
puppetnurse: (r-really...you think so?)

[personal profile] puppetnurse 2014-04-10 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maybe you should ask, Hinata? Or perhaps have one of Nanami's Psychic types ask!

But she nods in response to his first question, fidgeting a little as she's told to sit down. He scooted over so there's room to sit by him, but at the same time what if he doesn't want her to sit beside him?

She just sort of...gathers her skirt a little and kneels on the ground instead for now. This way she doesn't have to assume and make a fool of herself, or ask and risk sounding stupid in front of him.]


A-ah...y-you don't have to...I'm alright. Thank you, Hinata-san. B-but um...I am enjoying myself, yes...it's really fun, and all of my classmates are here...who are here, at least...
tallandproud: (It'll be alright.)

Most of us are. [Gundam not being here is a little odd. He'd been at the party on the island and wanted to be around other people. Well, he'd ask about it later.]

Um, I moved so you could sit down too, Tsumiki. [Right, he completely forgot he has to make that sort of thing clear around her.] It's an interesting party. I haven't seen this many people in a while.

[It's a little jarring. So many people after a time without many around. It's life outside of the game.]
