☆ 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....no, I don't think so. Not if it's something you really want to spend your time doing...

[That mindset is helping him to not feel completely ashamed about just holing himself up in here into infinity.]

I've been ...reading about different Pokemon types...so I can decide which ones I want to try breeding.
pokestars: (cynthia)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-06 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you're a breeder!

[She nods over at her Lucario, who is a short distance away manning her designated table in the library.]

I'm incubating an egg of my own right now, actually. It's a lot of fun! I'm sure you'll enjoy it, too, once you decide.
ardent: (Is an art that's hard to teach)

[personal profile] ardent 2014-04-06 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
...I know what you mean.

[And he does; he's been here for quite some time and he still gets that sort of feeling once in a while. Usually when something bad has happened, admittedly - he's never believed in running from his problems entirely, but there's something...good, about the fact that he can just leave the area if he has to. He's run once, when it became too much to handle in February; he understands needing to get away from everything.

And besides, being able to go out whenever you want to is one of those basic things that no one realizes how much they appreciate until they can no longer do it.]


Have you been getting accustomed to this place well enough?
codeforhope: (● when you feel my heat ●)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-06 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods slightly, glancing down at the book in is hands.]

An egg I got from the breeding center hatched this morning, actually...she's an Eevee. I think she and my Zigzagoon could breed eventually, but...I'm actually interested in fighting types too.

[..because of reasons.]
pipers_son: (leyline) (I would never do this in real life.)

[personal profile] pipers_son 2014-04-06 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[...Okay, maybe Ace has gotten up to worst things than breeding while Joker's been asleep.]

I don't suppose the one he's carryin' is yours?
pokestars: (cynthia)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-06 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I wish I'd known that a little earlier, and I would've given you an egg from my Lucario! Riolu is a Fighting-type, you know, and when it grows up it's Fighting/Steel.

[The Lucario lets out an exhale of breath at that, as if affirming what his trainer has mentioned.]
codeforhope: (● nothing's gonna hurt you)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-06 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[It really is something people tend to take for granted, a basic desire that- once stripped away- is really enough to make someone feel totally helpless.

...but yes, anyway.]


Yes...it's very nice here. All of the people here seem...nice too, so far.

[..Every single person except Saionji, but that's blatantly obvious and doesn't need to be said.]
codeforhope: (● when the days are cold)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-06 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[...Ace.]

She is, actually....she just hatched a few hours ago.

[It's probably obvious, given how small the little thing is.]
ardent: (You knew the game and played it)

[personal profile] ardent 2014-04-06 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Most of them, anyway! There are a few who have caused trouble here, but it's been very good overall. We're fortunate to have been brought here, I think.

[...]

And I'm glad you're here with us.
codeforhope: (● real fast)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-06 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
O-oh, well thank you... it's ok, though. A friend of mine was in here yesterday with a Riolu of her own.

[Chihiro leans up on his tiptoes so he can get a better look at the Lucario.]

But I didn't know Lucario was both Fighting and Steel..

[The more you know~]
pokestars: (cynthia)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-06 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't it interesting? That's a rare type combination! I think that's one of the fascinating things about Pokemon, is learning about all the different type varieties they can come in, and where their strengths lie because of it.

[DON'T MIND HER JUST. NERDING OUT, THEN.]
codeforhope: [game sprite] (● but that's ok)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-06 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
...I'm glad I'm here too, Ishimaru-kun.

[Elated...probably isn't the right word, but relieved isn't quite it either, but it's close. Being here with the rest of his classmates and, most importantly, alive and safe is an insurmountable improvement from the horror that Hope's Peak was. Whatever the word, Chihiro's definitely glad to be here, and not trapped there.

...

For a moment he falls silent, keeping by Ishimaru as they make their way to the falls. Next to his ankles Isamu has to jog a little to keep up, always running in that goofy little zig-zag that Zigzagoons are wont to do.]


Ishimaru-kun....do you mind if I ask you a question?
usedswift: (admiring |)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-06 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[She has no idea what she's setting herself up for. Tenten just grins brightly and nods, reaching to grab her Pokédex to pass it off to him.]

I've explored both Johto and Kanto and gotten all the badges from both, so take a look!
codeforhope: (● people searching)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-06 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't mind, actually! If there's one thing Chihiro can get into that isn't coding and computers, it's the intricacies behind different pokemon types and how that affects their strengths. He...probably won't be testing what he learns in any battles any time soon or anything, but knowledge is power after all.]

It is. I was actually surprised to read about the different type combinations that different pokemon can have... you would think they might be a hindrance in some circumstances. ...I suppose the benefits would outweigh that, though.
ardent: (And turning all against one)

[personal profile] ardent 2014-04-06 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[...You know, that question is often foreboding and it's about a million times moreso from a murderschool alumnus, but...]

Of course not - anything at all!
codeforhope: (● look into my eyes)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-06 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[If it helps, he's not going to be asking anything particularly heavy out here like this, nor will it be anything about Hope's Peak or otherwise. That will wait for some other day, behind closed doors.]

....You said I was here before...right?

...Can you remember how long I was here for?

Designated Sleeping Area // By the Pool

[personal profile] foolishwren 2014-04-06 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
OPTION A: Designated Sleeping Area

[So anyone who can actually piece together details in the hazy, early-morning afterparty delirium may recall the shady-looking person in the suit, hat, and Murkrow mask that had been lurking coolly in shadows and corners all night with their cooler of alcoholic temptation.]

[Well, this morning, the mystique of the mysterious Murkrow salesperson is pretty much completely shattered for anyone who may lay eyes on her, because Heather can be found in the rest area on one of the sleeping bags, still fully clothed in the suit (now a lot more disheveled, of course) and sprawled on her back in an ungainly fashion, hat over her face and one arm over her chest.]

[Her tie's loosened, shoelaces undone, and shirt even partially ridden up to reveal what seems to be some kind of tattoo on her stomach-- or wait, actually upon closer examination it's just a drawing in red sharpie. :I And it's not a dick, just for the record.]


[She's totally conked out, and so are the Manectric lying across her leg and the Furret laying underneath her head like a very long, tubular pillow.]

[Yeah... It was a long night.]



OPTION B: By the Pool


[Day one's for business. Party business.]

[But day two? Day two's for takin' it eaaaaasy.]

[Which is why later in the day, Heather can be found outside by the pool, flopped in one of the chairs. She didn't bring a suit, but it's nice out and a little sunlight after that hideous winter never hurt anybody. Looking up from the book she snuck out of borrowed from the library, she rolls her eyes.]


Zilla, you can go in the deep end. That sign's just to make sure moms don't like, throw their babies off the diving board or something. You're a water Pokemon. It's fine.

[Somewhat reassured, the chubby Croconaw (who had been giving her a worried, questioning look from the swimming pool) proceeded past the line marked 'No children past here', water sloshing in his wake.]
pokestars: (cynthia)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-06 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Mmhmm! But it's more than just the typing that makes the difference in a battle; the relationship a Pokemon has with its trainer matters just as much! Even when you're at a disadvantage, that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep trying your very best — that's the real way you earn a victory!

[And she would know, really. Considering.]
pokestars: (professor rowan)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-06 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
[FABULOUS. He takes it eagerly and begins to page through it, intently examining the lists.]

Hmm! Well, this is very impressive, young lady, but it looks as though you've already got data on the Pokemon we have in Sinnoh. How interesting! You must be a very accomplished trainer!
impheired: me look like im always in a bad mood, which is convenient because it’s usually true (sigh ♚  just...sigh)

[Lunch, Nanami. That's lunch you've got there. Presumably, anyway, since it's the afternoon when Kuzuryuu walks by the fountain. But it could technically be breakfast if you haven't ea--woah wait what? Back up, what is Kuzuryuu doing out here?? Seemingly of his own volition?? Or did he just get kicked out of the library again...]

Oi, Nanami. [He takes a seat next to her, gently nudging her shoulder while attempting to take her plate out of her hands so she won't spill it all over herself.] Wake up, you can't sleep out here.

[...does he look a little tired himself? Weird.]
pokestars: (crasher wake)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-06 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[For at least part of today, Wake's outside over by the waterfalls. He wanted to get a look at these Bloober things everyone's talking about and well, he's not really sure what they are, but he's out here looking at them.

He's got a notebook with him though, and seems to be writing something down every now and then. But they're not observations about the Bloobers or anything like that. Instead, there's a rough sketch of a Bloober themed mask, and a bunch of names next to it. The Bloobing Bloobers. Bombastic Bloobers. Blooberbrawl. Bloober Bomb. And other such names. He's not sure which one's best, but he's pretty sure one of them's going to be the perfect name for a Bloober themed wrestler.

After contemplating another one for a moment, he jots something down, and turns to whoever's around, ready to let them in on his next idea.]


I'm telling you, these Bloobers could be the next big thing! Bloobermania, what'd do you think? Catchy, right?

[ There's literally no resistance to the plate being taken. Not that she would have put up a fuss even if she were 100% awake. ]

...I'm not sleeping...

[ ...............That's a blatant lie, but she does wake up enough to rub at one of her eyes, stare at Kuzuryuu for a few seconds, and...

Well, her head keeps nodding down. It's clear she's trying to wake up enough to talk, but after a second it's equally clear she hadn't fully woken up that much. Just enough to see who was there.

Her head flops onto his shoulder. Apparently Kuzuryuu is an appropriate pillow at this juncture; he's someone she trusts and he's there. ]


...........I'm out of power ups.................

[ ..............YEAH, GOOD LUCK, KUZURYUU-KUN. ]

[personal profile] angerpoints 2014-04-06 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
[A couple of things happen when Kuzuryuu rushes at Yusuke like that: Hana leaps the fuck out of the way, not because she's afraid of Kuzuryuu (though being barreled at like that does strike her as a little disconcerting), but because Yusuke told her he could handle this and she's electing to believe him; Yusuke drops into a fighting stance, with his fists up, his elbows low to protect his body, his knees slightly bent, and his feet spread shoulder-width apart; and then, once that's done, he does a quick mental inventory of his options here, because not only is Kuzuryuu coming at him fast and with all the force of an approaching freight train, Yusuke's still standing in front of those damn bushes, which, no offense to them, he isn't particularly interested in falling in again, particularly now that the fight has for sure begun. Kuzuryuu might not be able to bowl him over, but he's proven to have enough strength in him to propel him backwards, and that, friends, would suck, as it would definitely put him back in the bushes and potentially lead to him getting tangled up and thus left vulnerable to further attacks.

The smartest move here, he decides, is put as much distance between himself and the greenery as possible. Kuzuryuu was already pretty close to him in the first place, though, which means that he doesn't have a lot of ground to cover as he's charging towards him, which, in turn, means that Yusuke has a limited amount of time to dodge. So he doesn't. Instead, he stays right where he is, and then, when Kuzuryuu gets in close enough...

Yusuke ducks down and swings his elbow straight forward, aiming to smash the pointy end of it right into the side of Kuzuryuu's head. If he's timed this correctly, it should not only hurt like a mother, but also provide enough momentum to knock Kuzuryuu back and give Yusuke time to move off to the side where he's not quite as cornered; if he didn't time this correctly, or if Kuzuryuu manages to block or dodge it, then... well, he's gonna get tackled. And then he'll have to pull something else out of his ass. Such is his life.]

[ May as well since he's offering. Plucking one off, she studies it to ensure it hasn't spoiled any before taking a bite. ]

A Pokemon trainer, yup. I haven't taken on any of the gym leaders myself yet, but I'll do that when I visit Kanto soon.

For now, I study the various types of poison associated with the Poison-type Pokemon in order to create antidotes for them. I lost all of my previous research, but that just means I get to pick through it again to see if I overlooked anything as I catch up.

["Seems" would be the key word here. While Marcia is indeed engrossed in her studies, much as she has been ever since prom started, she's still observant as ever. So when Rin decides to try and swipe one of her books, a hand shoots out and quickly yanks the book back.]

It would have been more polite to ask, you know.

[She fixes a firm stare on the girl.]

Are you incapable of getting your own books, or do you just enjoy stealing?
