☆ 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.

[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!
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!
usedswift: (pout)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-06 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh... Thanks! But you mean there's not any new Pokémon in Sinnoh? They all match Johto's?

[She takes the 'dex back and slips it into its pouch on her belt, puffing out her cheek in a pout.]

So anyway, what were you looking for out here?
pokestars: (professor rowan)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-06 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
What can I say? You're a very accomplished trainer!

[Girl what are you so upset about, you have evidently seen a shitload of Pokemon if you've got a Dex like that. Or you've just gotten the completed Dex from somewhere but it's not like Rowan's gonna assume that. YOU LOOK DETERMINED, YOU PROBABLY FILLED IT YOURSELF.]

I and my colleagues are here to look into the recent infestation of Bloobers we've heard so much about!
usedswift: (ah? |)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-07 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[OF COURSE SHE FILLED IT HERSELF she just wants to know about all the Pokémon. All of them.

She looks a little taken aback at the mention of the Bloobers. That's right, that was the whole reason this party got thrown in the first place, wasn't it? She'd forgotten!]


I should have brought mine! You don't know anything about them, do you? I wanted to bring him, but I figured since it was a fancy party, and he's kind of messy...
pokestars: (professor rowan)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-07 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He just chuckles at that.]

Well, now, that's why we're here, of course! To see what we can learn about them — they sound quite mysterious, you know!

[...at least from what they heard through the grapevine, anyway...]

But you say you caught one? How did you manage that? Tell me all about it!
usedswift: (unsure/arms crossed | そうだったんですか?)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-07 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
They are really mysterious! The Pokédex doesn't display any information, even when I try.

[She crosses her arms and frowns.]

There's not much to tell, really. I mean, they almost wanted to be caught, you know?
pokestars: (professor rowan)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-07 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Did they? How very interesting! I wonder if that's indicative of a possible friendship evolution somewhere in their line — a Pokemon that wants to be caught might be seeking that kind of bond with someone. Hm, hm!

[He pops another sweet in his mouth, thoughtfully.]
usedswift: (listening!)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-07 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe... Between you and me, though? I don't think they're that smart. Where I was, they kept dropping out of the ceiling!

Have you ever seen any Pokémon like that, though? Where you can catch them, but the Pokédex doesn't have any information?
pokestars: (professor rowan)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-08 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Ho ho! That's a question you ought to ask someone like Cynthia or Shauna! Unlocking the mysteries of Pokemon is part of what I do as a research professor, so meeting Pokemon I don't have any information on isn't quite the same experience for me!
usedswift: (eh? |)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-09 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Cynthia or Shauna...? I'll have to talk to them, yeah.

[Assuming she can find them in the whole party.]

What kind of mysteries have you unlocked? Or like... does what you discover then go into the Pokédex?
pokestars: (professor rowan)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-04-09 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm sure they're around somewhere. Cynthia had her Garchomp out, the last I saw her; if that's not easy to spot, I don't know what is!

Hm? Well, my specialty is in Pokemon evolution!
usedswift: (admiring |)

[personal profile] usedswift 2014-04-10 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Evolution, huh...? So if anyone can figure out what these Bloobers evolve into, it'll be you! Are you guys sticking around here very long?
