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.

[Shaun was in the middle of helping pick the pearls out of the slime when the pokemon's shrill screech broke the calm. He looks at his pokemon and at the Swalot.]

Stay here, I'll go check it out.

[Bella floats along after him, unwilling to leave her trainer alone in a potentially dangerous situation. The Spoink, however, balked a little at the voice and is wisely staying with the Swalot.]

[When you walk closer to the sound, you'll notice the pearls stuck on the Swalots look lesser and lesser, till they're completely clean. You find a Mawile, impatiently attempting the pull a Swalot forward. It's a bit comedic, really. Unfortunately, they are BROTHERS OF THE HERD, AND THEY WILL NOT MOVE IF THERE IS SOMETHING TO STOP FOR.

What bros.

Anyway, it's a bit comedic, but since she's a Steel-type, she's unaffected by the poison.]
Mawile maw maw! [Hurry hurry, hurry hurry! We need to get to my trainer, stupid bitches! There's a Froslass nearby, looking like she's not sure what to do, and notices Shaun first. A human!]

Lass! [Who are you?]
neededlassie: (unsure)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-07 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Well that sure is a couple of pokemon. Didn't Saionji have one of those two-headed ones? Shaun and Bella pull up short at the sight.]

Munn? Mun na? Munna! [What has your trainer done? Where is she? The Vaporeon found Trainer Shaun to help look for her!]

[...Shaun decides to let Bella do the talking for the moment, since she can actually understand what they're saying in return.]

[WHOA WHAT. The Mawile backs up a bit.]

...Maw? Wile! Mawile, mawile! [...Oh? Back-up! You must be back-up! Saionji was doing mean things, so I knocked her out! ...But not before a lot of fighting, so when I went back to try to find Yuki, I got lost.]

Froslass. Lass, lass lass, fross. [I'm going to assume you know what's going on from Naoryuu, then... the horde of Swalots rushed back a horde of knocked-out Spoinks while we were away, and... the results were not very good. We were told to knock them out, but halfway through, we decided to go against it. By the time we gathered up the group and tried to get them back to the horde of Spoinks, they were gone. So we tried to bring the group to Saionji, but... our trainer was gone, too.]
neededlassie: (What's the matter?)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-07 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Munna. Munn... Munn munna mun mun! Munna munn mun na na.[We found the Spoink, and Ampharos. Maybe... You can take the Swalot to the Spoink so that they can get their pearls back! They're outside at the big human house. Stella is helping guard them but she might need help from another ghost. There is a lot of them...]

[She looks at Shaun and presses her nose to his head, filling him in telepathically.]


Now that we've found the Spoink's pearls, we can find Saionji and then get all the Spoink and Swalot back to their homes.

[The order is important because if he finds Saionji maybe he can talk sense into her and she won't just immediately go after the Spoink again.]

Her Ampharos is back at the front of the pack, we should go let her know what's going on.
konpeitoqueen: (Ampharos- happy!)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-07 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Maaaaw... [I guess that's one problem solved?

In any case, when the Ampharos waiting with Shaun's Spoinkfriend and also helping to carry pearls sees her teammates, she does get a lot happier!

The horde... slowly... makes it way to the human house.]

[Shaun decides that it's better to let Ayani (for her immunity to poison) and Yuki (for her strength against psychic) take the Swalots back to meet up with the Spoinks. Farron and Shaun's Spoinkfriend are welcome to go back, too, but the Spoink elects to stay close to Shaun instead. Time to find Saionji!]

...This would be a lot easier if I'd brought Richie with me this year...
konpeitoqueen: (KESESESESESE)

[personal profile] konpeitoqueen 2014-04-07 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[They wander away, and looking around the forest seems to bring... nothing. Someone's already found Saionji, unfortunately! Whoops.

Of course, you could always spend hours on a fruitless wild goose chase!]
neededlassie: (unsure)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-07 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Well maybe not hours, but at least one. After coming up with a whole lot of nothing, Shaun sighs.]

Let's go back and see how the Spoink are all doing. Maybe Saionji's back at the house...
