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.

Weeeelll....

[Asahina stop it's so tempting.]

I do have other clothes to change into....but what about my vest?

[And fancy-smancy pants and bow-tie?]
justkeptswimming: Which I forgot when I started to sink (So I dive straight back in the ocean)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-08 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She is a pool siren, luring teenage boys to get their clothes wet and have races with her.]

You can just leave them with my clothes! [She gestures to her soaking wet sneakers and damp yellow dress.]
awesmazings: (☼ the fifth)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-08 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[TEMPTING.......SO TEMPTING...]

...Aahaha, well alright! It can't hurt!

[And with that Jimmy takes off his vest and white undershirt, tossing them by Asahina's clothes before moving to pull off his shoes...

Before he can quite get them, though, something comes sneaking up through the water past Asahina, circling slowly....slowly.....until.....]


SPLASH!

[Jimmy is suddenly yanked by the leg right into the pool with a yelp of surprise. Asahina might notice a little Buizel floating on his back next to her, snickering his head off.]
justkeptswimming: And hope for the best (Then all the sudden I hear a note)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-08 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Success! Aw yeah, swimming bud- oh shit.

Asahina lets out a yelp of surprise, throwing up her arms to shield herself from the giant splash Jimmy makes as he topples into the water. She doesn't have time to noice Lucky but Aoi the Floatzel sure does. She paddles over, making scolding noises at the Buizel. That wasn't very nice, Lucky. :(]
awesmazings: (☼ the minor fall)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-08 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, so much for buying new shoes for the prom. Jimmy resurfaces after a moment or two, sputtering, reaching up to brush the water from his eyes. There's a beat where he just wades in the water- ...even though he could just stand up- before bursting into laughter.]

Aahaha! Well, guess I'm goin' swimming whether I wanted to or not!

[Lucky jumps a little when Aoi comes his way, almost immediately deflating when she starts scolding him. Awww heck, you're no fun. Not like he wasn't going to get in anyway...]
justkeptswimming: Which I forgot when I started to sink (I will keep winning until the race is ru)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-08 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Asahina laughs along with him, pushing back her wet bangs out of her face.]

Since you're in here anyway, do you want to have a race with me? [Asahina, no. He may have a height advantage but you'll wipe the bottom of the pool with him.

Aoi sighs, delivering a light bap to Lucky's shoulder. He was but knocking people in like that is just mean. :( Go apologize.]
awesmazings: (☼ she broke your throne)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-08 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jimmy pauses long enough to pull off his now sopping wet shoes, dumping the water from them before tossing them up onto the ground near the other clothes.]

A race, huh? Sure, why not? You're on!

[Even if you do wipe the pool with him, Jimmy can't resist a good challenge.

Lucky huffs a little, his tails swishing across the surface of the water. ...OKAY............but wait don't they have to race first? Yes, let's not interrupt that.]
justkeptswimming: Which I forgot when I started to sink (I was swimming)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-08 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a particular glint in Asahina's eyes as she back up against the edge of the pool, back against the tiles and one foot flat against the wall. It's a glint that says "I haven't had anyone to be competative with like this in you have no idea how long, this is going to be great even when I wreck you but I'm a good enough sport that we should go raid the dessert table after this". Asahina's eyes can be very expressive.

Aoi sticks close to Lucky's side as their trainers set-up for their race. Fine but right afterwards you need to apologize!]
awesmazings: (☼ I got a taste ☼)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-08 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jimmy takes a position next to Asahina at the back of the pool, mimicking her and adopting her stance in the water. From afar Lucky watches with Aoi next to him, huffing and puffing because greeeaaat now he has to ~apologize~.]

So wait, who's gonna be our referee?
justkeptswimming: Which I forgot when I started to sink (It's a beautiful day)

[personal profile] justkeptswimming 2014-04-08 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm...Oh! [Asahina whistles sharply and a few seconds later Donut comes paddling over to her.] Donut, Jimmy and I are going to have a race. Do you want to be our referee and decide who wins?

[The Slowpoke takes a minute to digest this information and nods slowly.] Great! Thank you, Donut! [She gives him a rub behind the ears before he drags himself out of the water and flops at the edge of the pool.]

Ready, Jimmy?
awesmazings: (☼ and the moonlight)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-08 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Ready!

[Let's hope these dress pants don't slow him down.]
