☆ YOU ARE HERE ☆





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.

[Ah, it's the girl that shares his memory problems. She'd made some crazy theories but she seemed ok to him.]

That's right. It's Jane, isn't it? [This is the guy who doesn't remember anything. How does one make conversation?]

[If they can even call them memory problems. She makes her way next to him and stands to look at what he is looking at.]

That's right! Have you been well?
tallandproud: (It might become important later.)

[personal profile] tallandproud 2014-04-17 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I still don't remember anything but that doesn't seem to bother my pokemon or my friends. How about you? How have you been?

[He's looking at the pictures of the elite four hugging after two of them graduated into the elite four.]

I've been the same. [She's been thinking.] I have a Pokemon that was originally raised by me the other time I was here, the time I don't remember. Even he was wary of me at first. So that must be saying something.
tallandproud: (Maybe we're going about this wrong.)

[personal profile] tallandproud 2014-04-21 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe because you didn't remember anything he was wary of being attached to you again or unsure what to make of you. [He reaches down and plucks a pokeball from his belt, letting Vaporeon on.]

This was the other Hinata's starter. [It feels weird saying other Hinata but saying my original starter doesn't seem to fit.]

He sulked for a few days when I first got him back. My friend Souda held on him for me. But he left them in his computer box because he didn't want to touch them or make them forget me.

[He crouches down to offer his hand and his pokemon pads over to sniff him and look at Jane with curiosity.]

[She calls over her Bisharp, Dart. He had been trailing behind her, making sure his trainer was safe and sound.] He was probably wary, since this is the second time I have been here. Perhaps he is unsure if I will remain here.

[She reaches over, letting the Vaporeon sniff her before petting it as well.]

Whatever is happening here. It's so strange.
tallandproud: (It'll be alright.)

[personal profile] tallandproud 2014-04-26 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[If someone he cared about kept disappearing...he'd be wary too. It makes sense.]

At least we're not alone. We have our friends and pokemon with us.
overbiterestart: (pic#3357161)

[personal profile] overbiterestart 2014-04-26 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
Not being alone is always a plus. Perhaps it is silly of us to wonder about what happened in the past when we were here. Maybe we should be focusing on the future. This is the future that we will make here.

[A smile, because she knows she is making sense here.]
tallandproud: (It'll be alright.)

[personal profile] tallandproud 2014-04-28 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hinata actually pauses at her words. They're so true and the future is the only thing they can do anything about, isn't it? How had he forgotten that? He smiles and feels a bit lighter.]

Right. No matter what the future is, it's what we make of it. No one can control us or make it for us. I'd forgotten that. Thank you, Jane.

[personal profile] overbiterestart 2014-04-28 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[She realizes that she's made an impact, and it makes her smile. That is all she can ask for is to make an impact. A good one at that.]

Of course, Hinata. I want nothing more than for everyone to look ahead here. No matter what was going on at home. It isn't going on here. So we should not worry. [She fixes her dress, blushing.] Have you been having fun?
