☆ 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.

overbiterestart: Hello to you too! (Waving!)

I didn't know I would be here either, really. I kind of strolled in myself. It's good to see you!

[She bends down and gives Berik a treat, because, you know. Breeders like Jane are cool and always have treats on hand for the sweet Pokemon.]

How are you doing? Are you having fun?

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-15 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
I-I don't think I would've come if Alfred and Walter didn't go. I, uh... T-This is the first time I've been to something like this, so...

[--apparently Berik is too lazy to even lift his head, because he's doing his best to eat the treat from the floor. He'd get up and lick your face if he wasn't so tuckered, Jane :c]

To be honest, I feel a little weird though. I already told Tenten, but someone said I didn't really belong here and they're right, I think. I'm not - I don't know what I'm really supposed to do, you know?

I think I just wanted to come and see my friends here.

[Well, Berik. Rest easy because Jane is here to take care of your tall and sweaty trainer. She will take such good care of him. She straightens herself out, fixing her dress.]

I feel rather strange as well, Bertl. But this isn't something that I have ever done before, and I doubt you have ever done it either. Listen, how about we figure out what to do together? [A slower song is on right now and she has an idea, she is holding out a hand towards him.] There aren't many people out right now, come with me?

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-15 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
...Are you sure? I mean, aren't you worried I might step on your feet?

[Granted he hasn't done that yet, but he's still worried as he takes her hand.]

Berik, stay. I-I'll be right back, okay? [Gooooo, sweaty beanpole trainer. Go have fun!]

Not really, I'm more worried that I'm over a foot shorter than you. You're going to have to bend down for me, okay?

[Good, she grips his hand and pulls him out to the dance floor.] You do know how to slowdance? Don't you? I can teach you! It's super simple.
bertall: (Why make bad decisions when)

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-18 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
I can do that.

[He lets her lead him out, already trying to make himself smaller by hunching in on himself.]

--uh, bending down and slowdancing, I mean. I'm not good at it, but I was taught a few things before this whole thing started.

Don't be nervous then, it's all about having fun. It doesn't matter if neither of us belong here, we're here. So forget about what anyone else said to you.

[They'll be okay. This is gonna be fine.]
bertall: (Default)

[personal profile] bertall 2014-04-18 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
O-Okay.

[Deep breath, Bert. Just take a nice, deep breath and relax.]

Just... having fun, right?

[personal profile] overbiterestart 2014-04-19 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
That's right, just having fun.

[But if they're going to dance you have to lean down, beanpole.] Just take a nice deep breath. There is absolutely nothing to be afraid of.
