☆ 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.

[That has Masato frowning a bit more. Doubting him already, Ren?]

Yes, I mean that! [He sighs.] I still think you're irresponsible. However... I'm not against your wedding. I never was.

[He feels like he's suffering right now.]
saxsongs: ➥ Anime (2000%) (Awkward)

[personal profile] saxsongs 2014-04-12 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Doubts forever.]

Ah... well, thank you.
codeforhope: (● when they're scared)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-12 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good... I hope things will be the same for me, once I actually start breeding.

[He's...definitely probably going to have to possibly borrow Pokemon from friends to start, because his type pool is pretty limited at the moment.]

[personal profile] angerpoints 2014-04-12 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Damn, she got all her badges already? Either she's real determined or she's got a lot of time on her hands. Fortunately for him, she presents the bookmark to him before he gets the chance to actually say that, which results in him just kinda... shrugging and looking a touch sheepish rather than, you know, stuffing his foot in his mouth. SAVED BY THE BELL. Or by the bookmark, as the case may be.

At any rate, when she mentions having mentioned him to a friend, Yusuke's face lights up, as if with realization. Ah, so that's why-- okay, yeah, that explains a lot.]


Are you talking about Kirikou?
soundmind: (Smile ► This time I'll disappear)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-04-12 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you met him already! I guess I shouldn't be surprised, he's a lot more social than I am [going around dancing and stuff. Dancing at a party, who knew.] I'm sorry if he bothered you or anything, Kirikou has a problem with putting his foot in his mouth and he's a little out of his element since he just got here.
moveslikestrider: (You say I'm a kid.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2014-04-13 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
It's a laptop. [He lightly taps the touchpad, cutting off the sound. The lack of discordant noise makes his voice seem a little louder than it is.]

You look like you had a long night. Or something.

[Fuck off? No. He won't. The bear hadn't had to deal with Dave in a while and he feels like talking.] If you're planning to sleep in you're gonna have to get up anyway I don't think Clair will tolerate it.

[ He let her snooze for half an hour on his shoulder, though. That was half an hour more than he would have let most people. Friendship!

Nanami is of course jostled by the shoulder-nudging, and rubs at her eyes as she wakes up a little more. The cat-nap did enough to actually make her wake up a bit further this time, sort of.

At least she looks really surprised to see Kuzuryuu there. ]


...Kuzuryuu-kun? When did you reach this level...
lullabytes: official art (= yawning hugely.)

[personal profile] lullabytes 2014-04-13 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ Chihiro, your paternal instincts are showing. Nanami doesn't mind the Eevee being put in her lap at all; she's gentle with the little creature, like she is with all Pokemon. Nanami never had to learn this; it's an ingrained gentleness, and something she usually uses with people as well.

When she's allowed to lay back down she will, careful not to jostle the Pokemon. ]


...Thanks, Fujisaki-sama. Did he just hatch?
lullabytes: official game sprite (AWAKE ► but barely)

[personal profile] lullabytes 2014-04-13 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
...Am I allowed to go there before bedtime?

[ CAN SHE REALLY STAY THERE ALL DAY... ]
artificialrose: (candycloud) (I think it's time we have the "weird)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-04-13 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
No. Dolls.

...And paintings that come to life.
pokestars: (bianca)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-13 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you, Hagakure! My name is Bianca; Assistant Professor to Professor Juniper.

[ ...Though some of y'all may not have heard of her esteemed boss, since Oak and Elm are in charge of these regions...

Bianca opens the basket and happily waves her hand to it. Please, help yourself! ]
pipers_son: (Party at my house. Liquor pinata.)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2014-04-13 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
They just need a bit a gentleness, that's all. S'worked for me so far.

[personal profile] angerpoints 2014-04-13 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Mmgh.

[... he says from his sprawled position on the ground. His eyes are closed. If it weren't for the fact that he grunted just now, it'd probably seem like he'd just collapsed in a dead faint. Anyway, the disinfectant stings like a son of a bitch, but Yusuke's too wiped out to do much other than make a bit of a face. As inclined to bitch about stuff as he is around Botan, bitching takes effort, and if there's anything he isn't interested in right now, it's doing anything that requires effort.

That said, after a moment, Yusuke does manage to crack one eye open to look up at her. When he does, he asks her:]


What the hell do you think I was gonna do? I woulda liked to just sit on my ass all day, but then Kuwabara woke up and started yellin' at me about not havin' his pants. I dunno about you, but I sure as shit can't sleep through the sound of a stampeding half-naked guy.

[He shoves the pants into her lap. He's already feeling like crap, okay? He doesn't need to be holding anything that was once warmed by Kuwabara's asscheeks.]
codeforhope: (● real fast)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-13 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[What can he say? He's not going to let you just sleep on the floor like that, if anything. He leans back on his heels again once Nanami lies back down, nodding.]

Mhm. In the middle of the night, actually...

[His sentence is broken off by a yawn that he stifles with his hand before continuing.]

...I...mm....haven't slept much, since...
codeforhope: [game sprite] (● don't you know that I)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-13 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yes....this is all very new to me, but...if that's the case, I think I'll be ok.
pipers_son: (leyline) (Also what is a socially acceptable)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2014-04-13 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
You'll do fine, don't worry about it.
rocketralph: (i can find it myself)

[personal profile] rocketralph 2014-04-13 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ahah. Hah. Yeah...

[Ralph actually looks a little bashful about that because he doesn't think of himself as the sort to start a food fight. Had he started it? He couldn't actually remember but he'd nearly finished it when the gross tuna stuff came out and he had to forfeit.]

[IT WASN'T A LOSS, YOU UNDERSTAND.


pianosongs: (frowning moepants)

[personal profile] pianosongs 2014-04-13 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
Mm... A-and if you need anything... [He trails off. He's offering his help.]
voidedrogue: (= b and w.)

[personal profile] voidedrogue 2014-04-13 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Roxy slumps beside Nanami, feeling about as tired as the other game girl looks. She's still in her pajamas, so sue her. But she notices Nanami looks about ready to get drenched, so with a yawn: ]

Yo, try the combo for shifting a little to the right unless you wanna lose a life in that fountain and soak your armor.
babel_hacker: (Side Glance | What...did you say?)

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2014-04-13 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
...Like, possessed paintings and dolls?

[MORE DEMONS?!]
artificialrose: (daydreamgalleries) (It's... I don't even know.)

[personal profile] artificialrose 2014-04-13 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not entirely sure if they were possessed or not, only that they warped reality and wanted me dead.

[While he does have his theories, he still has no idea what the sweet hell Guertena did. Only that he hated it. And since talking is still a thing, Garry decides he may as well just get out of the bushes entirely. It's a bit too awkward for him to carry a conversation like this.]
extraordinariness: (pic#7501494)

[personal profile] extraordinariness 2014-04-13 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You- oh, just you wait-!

[Guess who is reaching into her bag now- oh look, that's a Pokeball in her hand. It's empty though- because she fully intends to just bing Blake in the head with it.

While she's reaching for it, thankfully her own Pokemon, Lapras, has the sense to move between the two, albeit carefully with all the people around. When Marcia looks back towards Blake, she lets out a huff.]


Move, you silly creature!
enjoymyatelier: have fun storming the castle, kayneth (a totally honorable mage duel)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-04-14 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
...that is true, I suppose. Besides, those were awfully delicious.

[Kayneth graciously takes one and begins munching on it.]

Have you made any progress thus far, then?
ajustcaws: (no matter how far)

[personal profile] ajustcaws 2014-04-14 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[...yeah Thunderhoof is just going to cower more, thanks]

Oh, don't worry about it! She gets nervous around Ground-types even outside of battles, which I kind of understand. Still, I'd like to help her be a little more confident, you know?
pokestars: (professor rowan)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-14 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Not yet! But the day is young and my spirits are high. The word is that the Bloobers are fond of water, so I'll head down near the falls and see if I can spot one once I'm finished here.

[WHAT A FINE LAD. Clearly he's got a good head on his shoulders, appreciating snacks and all.]

Now then, what is your name? I'm Professor Rowan, from the Sinnoh region!
