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.

[One Jade Harley has been spotted, Dave shuts his laptop and collects his stuff. He pads after her, moving fast enough to catch up.]

So, word is it you're gonna jam. There room for more than one in this jam party or should I head on back?

[He pulls his headphones out of the jack and stuffs the mess into his pocket. He'll boot everything up when they get where they're going.]

[Jade gives him a small smile. It's a little tired. She's completely wiped after the day.]

There's always room for more. I just didn't want to bother people with my bass playing. I'd love company though.

[Well, company that was familiar. She thinks she's totally good on the meeting new people and hanging out front for the day.] I would love a jam. Didn't really get to do that before, did we? Not in person. [They didn't have time with SBURB then they were separated for three years.]

[He helpfully keeps his trap shut on what he could babble about.] Hahahaha, in person we had our hands full of frogs and time loops. We didn't even have time to scratch our noses. [It didn't matter that he had all the time, it was all devoted to a goal. Dave scratches his nose as if it suddenly itches.]

It was ribbit ribbit oh shit I need to go back to an hour ago and start some shit. Robbing the stock market blind for fun and profits but mostly profit. [Well, he'd tried to keep his trap shut on the past. He shrugs, not mentioning the previous time she was here. They didn't do shit then. She didn't talk to him much either. She talked to other people but not her friends. It felt like she wasn't really around. It was all awkward as fuck when she did talk.

Yeah.

He didn't get it. But what a previous self did has nothing to do with now.]


I have one set of headphones but we can jack your bass into my laptop and mix something up. It will keep it down so Clair doesn't throw a fit about those crazy musicians.

We have plenty of time to scratch our nose! Even pick it. But I'm not gonna pick your nose. That's gross. [Dave can pick his own nose if he really wants to.

Jade would apologize so much about her previous self!!! She didn't mean to ignore her friends. :( Not that she is ignoring them. But...ugh, sometimes this stuff could be confusing. She might be bummed if she knew though. She loved her friends...
]

I'd love that. I always wanted to do something like this. We all played different instruments, but we never got to play together. You'll make my bass playing sooooooooo cool sounding. Coolkid approved and everything. [She strums her bass very gently. It's unfortunate all the extra necks will have no use here. She can't jam out like her dreamself.] I'm glad I brought it along. It's too big to take around for travel, so I left it at Rose's and John's place. Maybe if I get a custom case for it, I can bring it around. [It's still a bit inconvenient to take with her, but she likes the idea of having it on her.]
