☆ 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.

Ooh, ouch. Lost, huh?

[This is weird for Ralph? Vanellope is thrown off normalcy even more by their reversed settings! Just let her dig a box of Miltank Duds out of her bag and start popping a few of those, surely everything would be how it should be soon...

Or a nap, but whatever. Candy was better.]


I...like her. [And it's only a little hard to admit that!] She's pretty cool, actually. I talked to her once before, but I didn't know it was her, then.
rocketralph: (another brick in the wall)

[personal profile] rocketralph 2014-04-06 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Now hold up just a sec! I didn't lose...I just. Didn't win.

S'totally different.

[He waves one of his big meat hands to shoo away the very idea.]

And that's great! Alice is a real pal, she's helped me out a ton. I knew you'd get along.
rarestcandy: (you gotta use two different breads)

[personal profile] rarestcandy 2014-04-06 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, sure. Mmn, yup.

[...Yeah, that line totally won't work if she goes back to Sugar Rush and doesn't win this guy's medal back, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE NOT GOING TO BRING THAT UP. She's got it in the bag, anyway. Never mind that "can't drive" thing.]

Yeah, yeah, rub it in! [She silently offers up her box. Want candy, dude?] But nah, you said she was a "good guy" back in her game, right? For a good guy, she's not so bad.
rocketralph: (i wreck things nbd)

[personal profile] rocketralph 2014-04-06 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ralph leans down and looks over the candies.]

No thanks, I'm not much of a chocolate guy...And yeah. Kinda strange how the game made her, y'know, one of us. Aw well, nobody knows how this place works.
rarestcandy: (no but really let's do this)

1/2

[personal profile] rarestcandy 2014-04-06 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Congratulations on knocking her awake enough to earn this face.]
rarestcandy: (should i be mean or nice to this gurrrl)

[personal profile] rarestcandy 2014-04-06 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[But she'll pull the Miltank Duds back in close with a shrug! More for her.]

Uh-huh. I mean, we kinda knew it was a little busted, though. [YAWN! Enjoy the shot of the chewy chocolate caramels caked onto her molars.] Gogurt likes her lots, too. She's gonna spoil her with chips, I guess! S'good. I think some base guys kinda hate her for eating all of theirs.
rocketralph: (very funny)

[personal profile] rocketralph 2014-04-07 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He grimaces at her impression of the MGM lion and wrinkles his nose. Eugh, gross! Little kids were gross! Ralph leans back up.]

Pffff, the guys back at base can get over it. It's not like there's a Johto-wide chip shortage.
rarestcandy: (just wait until you meet whitney)

[personal profile] rarestcandy 2014-04-10 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Awh, come on, Ralph. You like her, grossness and all, just admit it.]

Well yeah, 'cuz she's not even like a month old and has only been to G-rod and this place.

[PHEW, FINALLY CAUGHT UP. Taffy heaves a sigh of relief as she plops down next to Ralph's side. And then looks at the person next to her, over to Vanellope, and then confusedly back up at this mountain of a man. Well that wasn't right. But she could rest here, for now... Her trainer was much too far at the moment.

Vanellope just smiles at her, shaking her head a little, before apparently remembering something and looking back up to Ralph.]


Hey, you never said! You had fun, too, right? Even though you lost a battle?

[...It's probably best not to question why looking at her Slowpoke prompted this.]
rocketralph: (i wreck things nbd)

[personal profile] rocketralph 2014-04-11 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He glances down at the little pink lump and part of him wants to pick her up. Tailing after Vanellope all day has to be tiring. Those little legs are so short.]

Yeah, I'd say so. Didn't get into any food fights this go around, but I think it was worth the trip.
rarestcandy: (bros before hohos)

[personal profile] rarestcandy 2014-04-12 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Taffy would be perfectly okay with that, honestly. She still wouldn't be moving as fast as her trainer, but compared to her usual speed, she'd be flying.

Vanellope's smile is a quick one, what with going back to looking sleepily curious real fast, but she's happy to hear her bud had a good time.]


Food fight...?
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.


rarestcandy: (kicking battlelink butt)

[personal profile] rarestcandy 2014-04-14 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Vanellope definitely thinks of him as the sort to start a food fight. He'd probably be really good at it, too... Plus he could draw away fire, with his size. She'd have to remember to have him around, should she ever want to start something at the base.]

You got up to a lot of trouble while I was away, didn't you? I'm impressed!
