☆ 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.

tentacletrainer: (You truly amuse me.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2014-06-02 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't recall trying to intimidate you. I'm glad you're not scared of me, because I am trying my best to be friendly. I am only trying to explain why I'm really not that scared of giving you my information. Even if there are things that I've missed. There just isn't any reason for me to be.

Perhaps not, but I've always been a bit spoiled so that doesn't surprise me to learn. You have to remember though that I didn't grow up anywhere near a mafia or yakuza or any sort of organized crime ring, so I really don't have much to compare my life too. Again, my apologies if I offended you at all.
impheired: issue where i hate myself but i still think that i'm better than everyone else. (sulk ♚ i have this weird self-esteem)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-06-05 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh...shit. He went a little overboard there, didn't he? Whoops...]

Tch...whatever. I still think you should show a little fucking discretion when you talk about your home and personal life.

[The things he has absolutely NO intention of telling others...]
tentacletrainer: (Why hello there.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2014-06-05 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not like she seems to mind.]

Well thank you for the concern. I'll keep it in mind.

[Now that her punch is empty, she's setting that cup down as well, offering him her hand thereafter.]

Alright, how about we steer away from this conversation. Care to dance?
impheired: in the park more than 2 feet away from me until they are capable of punching an eagle. (talk ♚ my kids are NEVER playing)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-06-08 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No.

[WELL THAT SURE WAS BLUNT.]

I don't dance.
tentacletrainer: (I'll admit it. That was clever.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2014-06-08 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't?

[Honestly she wasn't really expecting him to say yes. But it never hurts to try, right?]

Is it because you don't enjoy it or because you don't know how?

[Or is it because she's taller than you? It's not as awkward as you might think!]
impheired: to reproduce. the world doesn't need my sarcastic asshole demon spawn in child form. (sigh ♚ i should not be allowed)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-06-08 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Because I don't enjoy it. Besides, when I agreed to come to this stupid thing, that was part of the agreement.

[And yet, Nanami is still going to get a dance out of him. Just the one.]
tentacletrainer: (You are dumber than I thought.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2014-06-08 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rose purses her lips in thought, looking him over once before shrugging and smiling again.]

Honestly for someone so well dressed, that's a little surprising, but I won't push the subject then.

[She can respect agreements like that when you're not her brother or fiance]

Did they really twist your arm that badly to get you to show up?
impheired: happened last night, but i think i dislocated my kneecap during an epic mario kart battle... (nanami ♚ i'm not entirely sure what)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-06-09 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Rose, you are in for a shock when you see him again. Suits are kind of his thing...]

Just one person, really. One of my classmates wanted us to all come to this thing together. I told her I'd come so long as nobody expected me to fuckin' dance.
tentacletrainer: (Well it's all very simple really.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2014-06-09 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Is she the social butterfly of your group? Or was this her first prom?

[She can't wait. Suits are pretty much the best.]
impheired: me look like im always in a bad mood, which is convenient because it’s usually true (neutral ♚ my neutral expression makes)

[personal profile] impheired 2014-06-09 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Both.

[Though...it doesn't take much to be the "social butterfly" of their group.]
tentacletrainer: (How utterly quaint.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2014-06-09 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
That was sweet of you then.

[Shhhh that doesn't matter.]

Even if it did come with conditions.
