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.

That's...good, then.

[HOW...DO WE TALK...TO TEENAGERS...]

I've wondered how well your lot has been adapting to this place overall; it's an interesting phenomenon that's brought you here, not at all normal. So it's been something of a curiosity of mine, from time to time.
awesmazings: (☼ that David played)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-06 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's kinda weird that so many people from different places have been showing up here, isn't it? Nobody really seems to know why, either..

[At this point, the non-native population probably overshadows the native by quite the staggering amount, with some people adapting to the pokemon world better than others.]

[Some are well-adjusted, some are struggling, others have become raging power-mad psychopaths bent on destroying the region for what amounts to little to no reason.

Let's be honest with ourselves, you guys are doing literally no worse than the actual native population.]


It is a good question, but it's also not one that I'm in any sort of position to answer. It's not my field, unfortunately.
awesmazings: (☼ heaven can wait ☼)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-06 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
That's ok! It's just something I've been wondering about, s'all. I guess maybe we'll figure it out eventually, but the important thing is we're already here so we might as well make the best of it!

[The Eevee in Jimmy's arms wiggles a bit more, either agreeing with him or just wanting to get down so she can dart away again.]

[Are you...real? I mean, it's not as though optimism is a bad sign, really, and it's a good way to look at things, but...who does that.]

Considering it an adventure, then?
awesmazings: (☼ and I don't)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-07 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[As astonishing as it may be to try to believe, Jimmy is about as real as it gets. And...well, he does this on a near constant basis I'm afraid.]

Yeah, exactly!

[You can almost feel the waves of optimism rolling off of this kid.]
pokestars: (and then there's this guy)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-07 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[...You're going to sprain something if you're not careful.]

Well, I wish you the best of luck with it; hopefully it'll end well for you.

[Lysandre...]
awesmazings: (☼ the baffled king)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-07 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Best to sprain something with a smile, right?]

Thank you! I...hope that it will! Now I just gotta get to work teaching you some manners...

[That's said in a chiding way as he ruffles the top of Solstice's head, who fully intends to take off again the second Jimmy slips up and puts her down.]
