☆ 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.

Uh. [No really, he's not used to this, but it's awesome.] Okay! Okay, so... You have Thawfest where you're from, right? Holding a competition to see which one's the coolest and strongest to celebrate all the ice melting and stuff?
[It should be a thing everywhere, but... He hadn't heard anything about it so far here and Sho had said he'd never even seen a sheep, so he's gotta check.]
no subject
...Not really, actually! Maybe there's something like that up in Regna Ferox, but I don't know. It's pretty cold up there all the time, and I don't think it's been celebrated in forever if there is.
[...for various reasons BUT ANYWAY]
no subject
[Yep, he sure is looking at Cynthia with genuine pity. Everyone should have Thawfest!
But anyway, back to him...]
Well, Berk does have that, and every year I'm "challenged" -- [Fingerquotes included.] -- by the same guys who think that maybe, just maybe, things'll be different.
But they're not. Because I'm awesome. I'm the strongest and the fastest, and they should really just stop before they hurt themselves! Oh well, at least I get a shiny new medal...
[He misses his medals.]
And now that we have dragons, we made up new games and stuff so they could help us compete! Everyone was all, "Ooh, Hiccup tamed a Night Fury, he's got a chance to win this!" [Okay, but was the falsetto and the fake swoon really necessary, Snotlout?] Ha! They totally underestimated Hookfang n' me. And warriors don't like to be underestimated.
no subject
...yeah, it really does, because that sounds awesome! I'd really love to compete in something like that! ...Then again, I'm a Pegasus Knight and not a Wyvren Rider, so I probably wouldn't qualify on that end, huh? I guess even watching would be pretty great, though, especially watching a champion in action!
no subject
[He puffs out his chest, looking like the proud warrior he...is...?]
You know, the season for it is kinda over here, but I totally think they should have it anyway, right? I'm sort of working on something like some Thawfest games, but I've been busy training these guys to be warriors.
[He gestures over to the Eevee Squad, most of which seem to be minding their own business. One of the Eevees, though, has made her way over and started sniffing at Cynthia's feet. Dad seems to be having fun talking to this lady, so... She warrants an inspection from Heather, of course.]
You could totally come, though, if you wanted to. When I get it all ready.
no subject
[...oh god, they're so cute
she won't break eye contact or gush about the Eevees but she will kneel down a bit so she can give Heather ear scritches]
Both of those sound like noble endeavors! Hey, maybe you can put it together next year, right? And I'll definitely be there, because it sounds totally great!
