☆ 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.

[Zip hovers over with a series of beeps and trills, hovering around Shaun's head.

THERE you are! WHY did you leave? Master is worried about you!

Shiruku lowers her head a little, dropping her chin on Shaun's arm.

I'm sorry...I didn't mean it. I just got tired of staying inside all morning...

To be fair, Chihiro hadn't really been planning on leaving any time soon, either. Zip hovers back a little, making small gestures to the sleeping area with his feet. This way!]

[Susie watches the two pokemon be reunited as carefully as Shaun does.]

Is this your teammate? I guess your trainer's prolly worried about you too, huh?

[They follow Zip's gesture into the sleeping area, which has been mostly vacated by this time of day.]

Hello? I found your pokemon outside...
codeforhope: [game sprite] (● I do not know)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-07 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Inside, Chihiro is sitting on his knees atop a palate of blankets, gently rubbing the belly of a small Eevee rolled onto her back in front of him, squeaking happily as she paws at the air with her legs.

He looks up at the voice, surprised to see that Zip has brought back not only Shiruku, but a whole trainer and his Pokemon besides.

Chihiro moves to lift the Eevee into his arms before standing, approaching until he is stopped by Zip, who darts over and proceeds to shove himself into Chihiro's face and let out a few soft beeps. Yes hello he's happy to see you too, Zip.]


O-oh! ...Thank you for bringing her here.....I'm very sorry...s-she wasn't bothering you, was she?
neededlassie: (You know...)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-07 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[The girl who the little pokemon belongs to is really cute, Shaun decides, at a brief loss for words as he puts the little caterpillar down to let her scamper over to her trainer.]

N-no, not at all. She was just scared because she got lost, and I wanted to help her find her trainer again.

[He knows what it's like to be alone and separated, and it's probably a good thing that he couldn't understand that the Sewaddle was referring to her trainer as 'Papa'.]

I'm just glad I found you so quick! I'm Shaun.
codeforhope: (● when you feel my heat ●)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-07 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Chihiro kneels down briefly when Shiruku skitters over, holding out an arm so she can crawl up and onto his shoulder.]

I see....she must have gotten tired of staying in here...

[He can't blame her, really. He has been in here for most of the morning..]

I-it's nice to meet you, Shaun-kun. I'm Chihiro Fujisaki.

[He pauses before adding.]

But you can call me Chihiro, if you'd like.
neededlassie: (That was fun)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-07 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, there's that Japanese word again. Cool. Susie stands next to Shaun.

Shaun is glad that Chihiro elaborated on what to call him. He's okay with Japanese names after having so many friends but he likes to be sure.]


Okay, it's nice to meet you too, Chihiro! Have you been in here all day?
codeforhope: [game sprite] (● suddenly though)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-07 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Um......yes.

[That's a bit embarrassing to say, but it's....kindof true. (If we're saying this happens before Ishimaru took him to the falls, which we are because Chi has goldfish memory and what are timelines, so....yes)]

I...had an egg to hatch in the middle of the night, so I've been....watching over her, you see.

[Not a lie, but not completely the truth either.]
neededlassie: (smiling)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-08 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, however half-baked, he bought it hook line and sinker.]

Oh, really? That's so neat! Which one hatched?

[If he had to guess he'd say the Eevee that she's holding but he doesn't want to assume.]
codeforhope: [game sprite] (● don't you know that I)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-08 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Chihiro nods, gently petting the top of the Eevee's head.]

This one. I've been watching the egg for a few weeks now, but I thought she wasn't due to hatch for another few days..

[...SURPRIIISE.]
neededlassie: (That was fun)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-08 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess she just wanted to come to the party too, huh?

[He holds out his hand for the little Eevee to sniff.]

Can I pet her?
codeforhope: (● of somebody's lack of love)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-08 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Heheh....of course.

[As if to confirm the permission, the baby leans her head up slightly so she can nuzzle her cheek against Shaun's palm.]
neededlassie: (smiling)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-08 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Shaun happily pets the baby Eevee, scratching her behind her big ears.]

Does she have a name yet?
codeforhope: [game sprite] (● anyway)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-08 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Not yet. I haven't had the chance to really think of anything good to call her, yet..
neededlassie: (You know...)

[personal profile] neededlassie 2014-04-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well you've got lots of time.

What's your other ones' names?
codeforhope: (● though it's been)

[personal profile] codeforhope 2014-04-08 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods slightly in agreement before glancing over at Shiruku and then gesturing to Zip.]

This is Shiruku, Zip, and...

[He points over to a pile of blankets where he had been sleeping, a Zigzagoon rolled over onto his back with his legs in the air, fast asleep.]

Isamu.
