GIVE ME PROM OR GIVE ME DEATH
So you’ve gotten on the ferry, piloted by a man loudly proclaiming himself to be Captain Garfield and won’t this be fun everybody? We’re going to a party! Hope you all like boundless enthusiasm for boating, because this guy and his trusty Rattata (who will be collecting everyone’s fees, pay up or you don’t get on!) sure do love this and want everyone to know it. Finally, through caves and up rivers, there it is, shining in the dim evening light: The Elite Four’s Mansion (and blessed freedom from Captain Garfield). It looks amazing! Bunk down for the night and get a good night’s sleep, because tomorrow? It’s party time.
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. Some of the landscaping is a little different than what longterm residents might remember-- again, this WAS the site of a pretty epic battle between Teams Aqua and Magma at one point! All the same, in two years, you’d think they’d have wrapped up most of the work… there’s a lot of large-ish dirt piles and general disarray in the grounds outside the main yard, although the main grounds are still tidied up and decked out pretty heavily for the garden party. There’s even a little gazebo set up where you can have pictures taken of you, your date, and/or your Pokemon! The gazebo smells a little like fresh paint and plywood, but the paint is at least probably dry! There’s also an indoor ballroom for the more fancy red-carpet dancing, but in general, most of the activity will be happening outside.
• GREEN areas are where guests will be staying overnight! Unfortunately, you'll be sleeping-bagging it up, since there's a limited number of bedrooms in this house and they all either belong to Claire, the rest of the Elite Four, or are reserved for guests who are regrettably way more important than you. That much is the same as always-- Bruno really doesn’t want anybody digging through his underwear drawer, guys. He never has.
All that said, the green areas are 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.
• RED areas are RESOUNDINGLY off-limits to guests! There’s a lot more blocked-off doorways than there were in the past, and if asked about them, the staff will inform you that the mansion is under heavy remodeling and to please move along! What do you want to look at a bunch of sawdust and exposed wiring for anyway! Stop being nosy!
For everybody’s safety, there will be some staff stationed near the various restricted areas to move people along and make sure nobody wanders where they shouldn’t.
• 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 and lots of space to move around! … But the hardwood floors are looking a little scuffed, and there doesn’t seem to be the usual array of tasteful artwork on the walls anymore, even though you can still tell where a lot of the frames used to be hanging. There are some red banners strung up over most of those empty spots, and although don’t quite match the decor and they’re a little on the cheap side, they certainly make it look like a sweet party! Overall, though, a little more upscale than the shenanigans going on outside, for the people who'd rather that kind of thing.
• AREA B, as some of the more bookish types will remember, is the Library/Gallery! A long-time favorite of visitors, it’s usually a nice haven for people who are a little partied-out but not ready for bed, or who just want to dig into the Elite Four’s personal collection of books and research. SADLY, this year it would seem the door is blocked off! Remodeling in there too, huh? What a shame. :(
• AREA C is...well, the Parking Lot. Normally it’s spotless (no cars!), but this year it looks like they didn’t really have time to clean up, as there seems to be a lot of litter lying around. But more importantly, this is 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. Don’t be that person, guys!
• AREA D … is the Elite Four’s trophy and commemoration room, and it too seems to be shut off to the public. :( Awwww.
For all other information about the Prom and the venue, head on over HERE!

Around the mansion
[Cissnei had been trying to do much of the same thing though it wasn't really out of curiosity for it. It was more because she liked to know everything about where she as.
At her feet, her vulpix Reno was looking eager to dart about, tails flicking as his ears perked forward and he let out a happy little chirp--he was seriously more dog than fox creature.]
I can't help but wonder what they're hiding. [It comes out in a musing tone as she taps her chin with a finger, eyeing the door that Asriel had been turned away from.]
no subject
...Maybe it's something to do with that surprise mentioned on the invitations? But...it's gotta be a real BIG surprise if we can't go into parts of the house, right?
no subject
It must be big. This is a pretty big estate.
[Her tone is a musing one as she glances at the door again then back to Asriel, a ghost of a grin creeping onto her lips.]
How much of the place have you explored?
[At her feet, Reno let's out an excited yip. Adventure!!!]
no subject
[And he's only so big, and can't fast travel or anything here.]
I really wanna see that door, though...maybe the surprise is behind it?
no subject
[It's just a suggestion, because Cissnei's not really sure if the mansion staff would be keen on that either.
But hey, a ghost Pokemon might have a good chance. Or something that could open it for several feet away.
She thoughtfully wanders closer to the door, keeping an eye out for any approaching staff members as she studies it.]
Or maybe one of the staff as a key we can get our hands on.
no subject
[Unless...they gotta STEAL the key...which, I mean, would be easier to do if he was a flower with roots and vines and the ability to make distractions, but still.]
no subject
Cissnei glances over her shoulder at him.]
I bet one of our Pokemon could get it.
no subject
[He glances up at Gracie, the Floette who's made her home in his hair, but she shakes her head. Nope, not doing it for you.]
C'mon Gracie, you're small 'n quiet! You could do it...
no subject
What about you? You think you can weasel the keys out of the staff?
[The vulpix tilts his head, staring at her with his tongue poking out a bit.
She's going to take that as a no.]
Unfortunately I only have Reno and Shuriken. We may be out of luck, kid.
no subject
[I mean, a Midnight Lycanroc might be sneaky enough, but a Xatu and a Gastrodon are just too slow to really get the job done.]
no subject
[At least in terms of the kid. Cissnei wouldn't hesitate to attempt to get into any of the doors but in doing so it would mean getting in trouble and she's not about to drag a kid along.]
...Unless there's access from outside or maybe a vent. Might be worth checking windows, at least.
no subject
[Clearly you need LOADS of windows in a huge house!]
no subject
How about we take a peek outside then. See what we can find in terms of open or even just loose windows we can wedge open?
no subject
[Nevermind that he's a small kid and can't scale a building.]
no subject
Let's go take a look, then. [She motions for him to follow, her Furfrou and Vulpix hot on her heels.] I'm Cissnei, by the way.
