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.

[Tenten has to cover her mouth to stifle her giggles at Dave getting licked like that. Joonhee whuffs quietly again, tail pounding hard against the ground as he finally pulls back from Dave to sit and pant at him. Good friend!]

Yeah, that makes sense. I dunno if I'm all that good at smoozing though.

[She's usually way too blunt for that. Friendly, but blunt.]

I guess I'll leave that to you.
moveslikestrider: (Too long I've been without.)

You can pick it up pretty fast if you try. smoozing is basically being classier when you talk. You don't mention illegal shit, or stuff the cops would bust you for in a second. Imagine it like you're under cover acting like you don't have a knife in your sleeve.

[Nothing wrong with a little bluntness. Beats over talking.]
usedswift: (enthusiastic |2  聞いてる!)

[She laughs.]

I think you avoid illegal stuff on most first conversations, though, Dave! Or you're supposed to, anyway!

[But she leans over the book and gives him another grin.]

So, you wanna take a break from the library and dance some before we get kicked out? I don't think we have to worry about other people stealing our stuff.
moveslikestrider: (We should never be afraid to die.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2014-05-01 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
I think you mean, Dave can we bust a move because the books are sweet and all, but I heard you got some sick moves. Yeah sure I'll dance.

[He puts the book away on the shelf and stands up, popping his back. He'd sat so long in the same position he might as well been a fixture of the library. Only not really. It had only been a little bit.]
