☆ 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.

....I see.

[He's not...sure what else to really say to that, but for now he has no choice but to believe that at face value. Maybe he can ask Naegi later if he'll tell him more about the photographs that he saw. That and having their memories taken sounds exactly like something that Monobear would have done, so that at least he can believe.]

So....we actually used to know each other...

...I wonder what it was like.

[That's more of a rhetorical question than anything, but he can't help but wonder what things must have been like. ...Were they all good friends? ....did they all know about, well, him? ...did he tell them, perhaps?]
ardent: (Is an art that's hard to teach)

[personal profile] ardent 2014-04-07 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
...I think we must have known each other well, and we must have been on good terms at least - I don't know why our memories would have had to be taken away at all, otherwise.

[That...makes sense, doesn't it?]

There has to have been a reason Monobear did that; if we didn't like each other, there wouldn't be a point, right?
codeforhope: (● real fast)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-07 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Makes as much sense as anything else. He nods, reaching up to brush his bangs from his eyes.]

I would think so. ..We wouldn't have been so likely to...

[...Well, you know.]

..if we all knew each other. But knowing that, it....it's so sad. ...

Being here is like... another chance, don't you think?....to be friends again.
ardent: (And as you step back into line)

[personal profile] ardent 2014-04-07 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I think, anyway! It's...good, to be able to get to know all of you; I never had friends before coming to Hope's Peak, after all, and something...happened, before I was brought here, that ensured I didn't have friends anymore there, either.

So I'm really grateful to be here, actually.
codeforhope: (● glance to glance)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-07 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[....Oh.]

...I never really...had friends either before, actually.

So...I understand how you feel.
ardent: (Is an art that's hard to teach)

[personal profile] ardent 2014-04-07 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
...But you're a nice person, Fujisaki-kun.

[He suspects he's missing something vital; like hell if he knows what, though.]
codeforhope: (● and the blood's run stale)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-07 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets a small, sad smile.]

Thank you...but I never really....went out much, back home. So even if I could have made friends....I didn't.

[You can imagine why.]

I stayed inside, most of the time...working on programs, constructing new codes...that sort of thing.
ardent: (And now you steal away)

[personal profile] ardent 2014-04-07 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
...I see.

[He mulls that over for a moment. Hesitates.]

I never really had time for them, myself; I was always busy with the disciplinary committee - something that didn't really gain me any friends in the first place - and when I wasn't doing that, I was at home studying. When I had free time, I studied further to keep ahead, or just to pass the time.

I...tried making friends once in a while, but it never worked out; it was just easier to not have any after a while.
codeforhope: (● when the days are cold)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-07 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Ishimaru, that is very sad and Chihiro isn't sure what to say at first. Especially since you actually made an attempt at friend making, at some point.]

Mmm....I understand. ...if it helps, I'm glad to call you my friend now, Ishimaru-kun. You're a very hard worker and...a kind person, too.

[You do the right thing because...it's the right thing to do and rules and whatnot, but if poolgate taught him anything, it's that you do the right thing because you care on a level that others probably just don't understand.]

Anyone who didn't make friends with you before was just missing out.
ardent: (And turning all against one)

[personal profile] ardent 2014-04-08 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
...I'm glad to call you my friend as well, fujisaki-kun, and the rest of that's...well, it's very kind of you to say!

[No, really, what does he do with this other than get kind of flustered and try not to just...yell.]

If there's anything you need at any point, you can let me know!
codeforhope: (● we still are made of greed ●)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-08 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well you seem to be doing pretty well with not yelling so far, Ishimaru. And we're outdoors, even, where outside voices are generally more appropriate.]

Thank you. I will.

[Oh look, during the course of all that we have made it to the Falls. Isamu runs on ahead a ways, sniffing curiously at the ground, no doubt intrigued by the scent of Bloober that's probably in the air that thankfully only he could detect.]

...This place is very pretty, isn't it?
