☆ 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.

Dude, I sold you that beer.
I thought you knew it was me!
no subject
[ Snake just lifts the sunglasses, looking SHOCKED. ]
... I... I had no idea... What were you doing selling booze?
no subject
Jeez, I thought the voice would give me away, at least...
[Snake, if this isn't the first sign that Heather's been getting up to some crooked stuff while you were gone, who knows what is.]
no subject
no subject
Why are you lookin' at me so weird?
no subject
Not every person would look at a party like that and think "Yeah, this would be a great opportunity to sell booze while in disguise".
Are you okay, kid?
no subject
[Or maybe he just hadn't been to the kinds of parties Heather always had...]
[Still, she looks unsettled by the question.]
'Course I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be?
You're kinda freakin' me out, Dave.
no subject
Sorry. [ Suddenly wondering if he can leave her alone again... He had plans to go back to New Bark Town, but... would that be a good idea? ]
You used to be able to make enough money with part time jobs and Pokémon battles... I guess I've been gone a long time, haven't I.
no subject
I don't need to do it, I just... I dunno, it's fun.
[And it gives her that breaking-the-rules thrill.]
no subject
I wonder if you even sold it to kids. [ Oy vey. Why did he buy anything at all. His wallet was so much lighter now. ]
no subject
Don't make assumptions.
I would never sell that shit to kids.
[If a teenager came up and seemed convincing enough, whatever, okay-- there's no real reliable way for her to card and it's not like she didn't do her fair share of drinking back when she was fifteen and sixteen.]
[But jeez Snake, what do you take her for?]
no subject
[ Snake grumbles. ] I've had my fair share of... dealers that I've met on the battlefield. They don't care who they can deal to, kids, adults...
Just became worried that you'd become like them. Sorry... Just an old man rambling and worrying.
You can take care of yourself, I get that.
no subject
I just brought booze to a party 'cuz I knew it wouldn't be there.
I'm a pretty messed-up person but I thought you knew me better than that.
[She folds her arms. >8(!]
no subject
... I shouldn't have left you all alone back then. I guess I'm worried that something might have happened to you because I broke my promise to stick around.
... Anyway, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions like that.
no subject
[Because... well, something DID happen to her while he was gone. A LOT of things happened to her. ... But that's not his fault, no more than it is the fault of anyone else who disappeared back to their homes. Or anyone who got to stay, for that matter.]
[There's nothing anyone could have done.]
... Dave, it's not like you chose to go home. It's not your fault you had to go.
no subject
And I went back on that. [ It didn't really matter if it were his fault or not, Snake would take the blame onto himself, as he always had. And now he wanted to leave Heather's side again, to start his adventure anew. He wasn't sure if he had the ability to do so. ]
no subject
no subject
I'm... not going back to Mahogany Town. [ It had to be now... Or else he wouldn't have the heart to tell her. ]
no subject
... Okay? I mean... I figured you and Otacon would wanna-- you know, do your own thing at some point.
no subject
... Hnh. If this was going to be your reaction, I feel like an idiot deliberating for so long. [ There's a bit of a smirk in there. ]
no subject
Snake, I have-- or have had-- a lot of friends. Most of 'em didn't travel around with me. I don't need to be surrounded by the people I care about 24/7 in order to be happy.
I mean, don't get me wrong, it's been great having you around and I'll miss you, but we can turn on the 'Gear and talk to each other any time.
no subject
Huh. All right.
[ He lies back down on the chair, a long sigh escaping him. Well, that was a huge relief anyway. Snake had been worried that he'd disappoint her again. ]
no subject
Okay?
no subject
[ Snake gives her a smile, putting on his sunglasses. ]
