☆ 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.

oh my god I thought I replied to this backtags into eternity

I-I'll try. [And lord does he try. Fortunately it's not long before he finds a rhythm for himself and not much longer before he's able to maintain eye contact. (which also makes things a bit easier due to how much smaller she is compared to him.)]

But, uh... yes and no. I-I was talking to someone before you found me and I, um... I'm starting to think I don't belong here... [His self esteem is in the double negatives thanks to Saionji okay :c]
usedswift: (weapons | どんな武器を使ってる~?)

shhhh backtags are fine!!!!

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-15 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
That's all I can ask for! [That he try, anyway. And look at that, he doesn't even step on her feet. Well done, Bert. You did it.

Man, it almost hurts her neck to have to look up that high to meet his eyes. Jeez.]


Huh? What'd you mean, don't belong here? Who said that?

[Team mom mode: engaged.]

[B'aw, Tenten. He'd hold his hands up in mock surrender and offers her a small, sheepish smile.]

I-It's just someone I've had some trouble with here. I mean, not here-here, but in Johto. I think I can handle her this time, okay?

[At least until his courage runs out, which'll be like. five seconds after he puts Saionji in a tree.]
usedswift: (pout)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-16 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm...

[She stares up at him, doubtful, then pulls her hand off his shoulder to jab him hard in the sternum. Ouch.]

Anyone gives you trouble, you tell them you're here with me, got it? I'll take care of it.

[Bless you, Bert. Putting Saionji in a tree. Bless.

Also did Tenten just kind of tell him to tell people they came together to prom? Does that count as asking him to prom?]
bertall: (CRAIGSLIST IS NOT THE ANSWER)

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-16 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ow. He wasn't expecting her to hit him, let alone hit him that hard. That might actually bruise!]

What was that f--[...Wait.

Tenten, what. First she hits him, now she says something like that - is it getting warm in here or is he on the verge of turning red?]


H-Here with you?
usedswift: (wink | 私に任せてよ!)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-16 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Violence is how kunoichi show affection, Bert. You're lucky.]

Yeah! That way you can be sure you belong here, 'cause you got to go with someone like me!

[Ego. Amazing. She tosses him a playful wink for good measure.]
bertall: (Default)

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-17 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He'll wear the bruises with pride, weeps.]

Are... you sure? Ah, I mean, are you sure you'd want to be seen with me like that?

[Look he really doesn't get why anyone would want to okay his self esteem has been really bad here.]
usedswift: (excited!)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-17 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Why wouldn't I?

[No, seriously, why wouldn't she? Other than the fact that he's a god damn giraffe, but she really doesn't see why it'd be a problem.]

Don't worry, soon as you figure out how to get that maneuver gear to work for me, we'll call it even, okay?
bertall: (Default)

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-17 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...Do you really want me to list the reasons?

[He could write a book about it, Tenten. Maybe even two.]

But, uh... I-I've been trying my best as far as the gear's concerned. I found out that there's a shop that works with leather in Goldenrod, so I'll try and get a harness made for you, since um... [He glances down between the two of them, indicating the sheer size difference.] I have mine here with me but I really don't think it'd fit that well since I'm... really big.

[Bert. Bert. Remember that spot that'd gotten hit? She grabs his shirt and uses it to yank him down to her level so she can look him in the eye.]

Don't give me that shit.
usedswift: (fistpump! | やるわよ!)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-18 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[But then she lets go to let him stand back up again and gives him another smile.]

Okay? But yeah, if you can get it made in my size, you'd better bet I'll learn how to use it immediately.

[Oh, he's not going to stand up normally, he's going to stand up and hunch in on himself. That was terrifying.]

O-Okay! I'm sorry!

usedswift: (doing it my way thanks |)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-18 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't apologize! Jeez, do you really think so little of yourself? Don't!

[Apparently it's Pep Talk Time from Tenten.]
bertall: (Default)

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-18 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I-I'm sorr--[She just said not to apologize, didn't she? Better cut that short!] I-I can't help it!
usedswift: (FRUSTRATED |)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-18 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure you can! If you can't do something, work hard until you can!

[She's channeling her inner Gai-sensei right now, what a thing to behold.]

As long as you've got guts and determination, you'll be fine!

T-Tenten, please--! I-It's not that easy!

[Arceus have mercy on him if he ever meets Gai.]
usedswift: (number one! | 私なら、できる!)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-21 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Sure it is!

[She leans up on tiptoe to try to get as close to his face as she can.]

I believe in you! [And she punctuates it with another poke to the chest.] So that's that, you hear me?
