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!

At least in her mind.
The Snorlax had carefully made her way through the crowd and away from Noctis, who was doing his best to follow, approaching the buffet with cracked open eyes and a pleased almost grin on her face. She doesn't hesitate to plop down rather close to Korra and start to pick up pawfuls of food, happily munching away despite the fact that others may have wanted what she's eating.]
Bean! What are you doing--people are trying to eat! [And there's Noctis, with his Lycanroc in tow who just seems thoroughly amused by all of this, the prince frowning before turning his attention on the person beside Korra.] Sorry about her she--hey, we've talked on the network before, haven't we?
no subject
Oh, hey. Yeah, it's Korra.
[Looking much different than usual, in her two piece dress and makeup, with her hair pinned up.]
She looks like she could polish off the whole buffet....
no subject
Noctis.
[He stops beside the Snorlax and rests a hand against her side, sighing in an exaggerated manner.]
Probably. That's been the biggest challenge having a Snorlax around. Sorry if she took anything you wanted.
no subject
[That's a way safer point to mention than anything else, considering how their first conversation had gone.]
They look like they make great portable beds, though. I bet they're awesome camping. And don't worry, the food...it's not great.
no subject
Yeah that's me. Name's Noctis.
[True. So very true.]
She's definitely the best living bed I could ask for. And cuddle buddy in general. [Forced cuddles most of the time since she loved to hug everyone but hey, he can't complain.] Really? Is it usually better at these things?
no subject
[It's weird, how you can know someone here and never actually see them in person. Except at stuff like this.]
Ha, I bet Snorlax give the best cuddles. I've thought about getting one, a couple of times. And oh yeah, the food's usually way better. I dunno what happened this year.
no subject
[Just costs him a lot of money in food which means he cleans a lot of dishes when they stay in various towns.
Noctis's expression turns thoughtful as he glances at the buffet.]
That sucks. Maybe they didn't have as much help as previous years?
no subject
[She knows she can't imagine having started out with anything but Iqniq. The growlithe-turned-arcanine is about as perfect a poke-companion as Korra could ask for.]
Maybe. I haven't been to too many, but...I dunno. This one seems kinda different.
no subject
[Maybe that person or the people responsible were also the ones that had brought them here.
Who knows.]
Different as it just weird or different as in potentially something bad? [Noctis glanced at her, eyebrow lifting.] Whenever someone says a line like that, it usually means one of those options.
