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!

[There were other things that had brought them together -- a siege on a radio tower, the bizarre glitching hither and tither. But she hadn't seen prom since being here, nor anything as casual.]
Bear in mind, of course, that I'm still rather new myself. I've only been here a handful of months.
[Seven, to be exact, but it wasn't a number that really stuck in Angel's mind. Time flew when you were practically in paradise.]
no subject
[She says it in a musing manner but honestly she still can't wrap her head around wanting to be away from home that long. Though, then again, maybe a lot of the people here were just glad for the chance to get away from whatever they were dealing with.
Who knows.]
I guess that means we just have to make the best of it while we can. Especially those of us that usually travel alone.
no subject
[Cissnei's homesickness was probably a sharp contrast to Angel's own sick-of-home syndrome. There was no desire in her whatsoever to return to the hellish place from whence she came.]
[Not that she even could, of course.]
I'm guessing you travel alone, then? [Angel couldn't imagine -- it seemed far too lonely of a life for the siren to even consider.]
no subject
This place is pretty spectacular. I suppose it's not too strange to think people would want to just stay.
[Was there even a way to return home?]
I do. There was someone from my home here but she's gone. [Ever the illusive flowergirl Aerith was.] So for now I've just been traveling on my own, seeing where it gets me.
no subject
[It was a troubling thought to have, considering her own fate. She wanted to hope that a strong enough force of will would compel whatever deity that decided their fate to allow them to stay. The fact that Janey, her beloved guardian, had disappeared from her life was evidence enough against that. Surely the woman would have wanted to stay, if not for Angel than for her partner.]
Is that something that makes you happy? Being alone, that is. It sounds... a little hard to bear, in my eyes. I am not particularly fond of being alone, you see.
no subject
[Whatever force it is at work. Cissnei was curious to find out what was behind this place; behind all of them being here.
Perhaps she'd find the answer one day.
She shrugs in response to Angel's question, glancing down at Reno who yips happily at her.]
I'm not completely alone but I suppose it would be nice to be around people. I was alone for a long time back home and I've missed having company. But at least I have these two for now.
no subject
[How was that for finding out the source of your kidnapping, eh, Cissnei?]
Beyond that, I am sure as clueless as you are.
[The siren pursed her lips as she folded her arms around herself. Idly, her pointer finger tapped against her upper arm.]
Well, if you ever find yourself in need of company, you are welcome to come find my friends. How about that?
no subject
[Cissnei can't help but stare at Angel for a moment as Furfrou let's out a yip of agreement at her feet. She glances down at her companion then back to Angel, her expression relaxing as she shakes her head.]
I really shouldn't be surprised that it's something out of the ordinary like that.
[This whole place was just special, wasn't it.
Genuine surprise touches Cissnei's face before her expression softens into something sincere.]
...I really appreciate that offer, Angel. I may very well take you up on that sometime. For now, I want to see where the road takes me but..thank you.
no subject
You'll get used to it. [Probably.]
[Admittedly, Angel was relieved that her offer hadn't been taken the wrong way. It had been genuine, of course, but Angel was quickly realizing that a great deal of people had come from a similar background as herself. Trusting an offer like that was a heavy undertaking.]
Of course. Take your time, my friend, and do what is best for yourself. The offer will always be open.
