It's prom time, baby

[indigo_league]

This year, transport arranged by Riegfried and Soy will deliver everyone to the Sevii Islands -- a short trip for some, a longer journey for others. Either way, at around eleven AM, everyone who was interested in joining will have been gathered at a cheery cafe, fully reserved for the event so people have somewhere to sit and wait while the rest arrive. All bags will be taken by the couple's employees immediately upon arrival, with the promise that Trainers will find them waiting for them on the ship.

At eleven, Soy checks a pocket watch, then he addresses the crowd.

"Welcome all! Riegfried and I are so happy to see so many of you here. It heartens us greatly to see you trust us again with the hosting of this event. Please be assured that everything in our power has been done to prevent a repeat of last year's catastrophe, and we've worked closely with the League to ensure that everyone involved in this project is trustworthy. Now, if you'll follow me."

It's just a short trek from the bright little cafe to the ship's mooring. Or such is what all will be told as they walk. Riegfried and Soy lead the possession, coming to a momentary halt as the gathered Trainers crest a small dune. There, they both sweep off their top hats, giving deep and theatrical bows as they gesture towards a small, private bay where not one, not even two, but three airships lay moored along a pier, waiting for everyone to board.






"Welcome to Prom."

THE ITINERARY Inside their rooms, every visitor will find a short itinerary for this prom trip. There is also a small map, which shows the route they will fly to get to the mentioned island. Of course, considering the route is entirely over water, it is not the most useful thing. There is also a second, more useful map, of each of the three ships and where the various amenities can be found. Friday, 12PM - Lift off Saturday, 3PM - Island arrival Sunday, 8PM - Prom Monday, 5PM - Scheduled return Breakfast hours - 7:30AM - 9AM Lunch hours - 12AM - 2PM Dinner hours - 6:30PM - 8PM Small meals and drinks can be requested between these hours! THE FLEET Tyrantic The largest of the three ships, the Tyrantic will be the entertainment centre and hub during this trip. Of the three ships, it’s the only one with a top deck where characters will be able to take in the spectacular view and bask in the sunlight as we travel. Standing at the prow, you’ll really feel on top of the world, watching the ocean pass beneath you! Do mind the railings, please! We wouldn’t want anyone to fall off. Inside, Riegfried and Soy have tried to provide as many amenities as possible within the limited space, including: A small library – For anyone looking for some peace and quiet, this is the place to go. A few large windows let in plenty of natural light, and the shelves are stocked to the brim with various adventure and exploration novels. Leather armchairs are scattered around the room, giving readers a comfortable place to curl up. And when night falls, a variety of lamps bathe the room in a soft, yellow light, mimicking that produced by candles or oil lamps. A bar – Yes, for anyone old enough to drink (and the attendants will be checking!) Riegfried and Soy have provided a small bar with complimentary drinks. Take a seat at one of the small tables, or perch on one of the leather barstools and allow yourself to be poured a scotch. Perhaps you can share a story or two with the other adults hanging out here. A casino – Care to place a little wager? Or sit down for a hand of poker? Perhaps even test your luck at the Wheel? It seems Riegfried and Soy drew some inspiration from the Goldenrod City Game Corner, and have provided everybody with a chance to place some bets. Please note that betting in the casino does cost actual pokebucks, but the House is also rich and generous, so your odds are pretty good. And the attendants will make sure to herd you out before you can lose all your hard-earned cash. Every prom attendant also gets one (1!) complimentary spin on the Wheel for a chance to win incredible prizes. Make sure to claim yours! A ballroom – Naturally, no prom can be complete without one of these. The ballroom takes up the entire aft portion of the ship. The room itself is towering, easily spanning two decks. Two staircases lead to a balcony section over part of the dance floor where those who would like to sit down can find some tables and chairs available to them. The curved back wall of the ship is nearly entirely comprised of large windows that prevent the room from feeling cramped. Unlike previous years, there is no balcony portion available, though if your characters would like a bit of fresh air, they can always climb up to the top deck. Mary Celebi The Mary Celebi likely won’t be where your characters spend most of their time, but it is rather important as this ship houses everyone’s sleeping quarters. Due to the limited space abroad the ship, there are only two types of rooms available: single rooms, clearly meant for, well, a single occupant, and rooms with a double bed, meant for two. The bathrooms are somewhat small but contain all the essentials (shower, toilet, sink, and some storage). Every double room will have its own bathroom, and every two singles will share one bathroom between them. Oranguru Medan The smallest of the three ships is the Oranguru Medan, and even then, only half of it will actually be accessible to characters. In the accessible part of the ship, you can find a large dining room where characters can take their meals, as well as a small infirmary for anyone who might find themselves in need of some Drampamine to combat air-sickness. In addition to caring for human needs, the infirmary also has a small set-up for healing Pokemon and a PC where characters can switch their party if the need arises. But why would the need arise, certainly nothing ever goes wrong during Prom! The rest of the ship houses things like the kitchens and storage areas. Characters will be kindly but firmly shooed away from these. Please, the cooks are working very hard and don’t need anyone getting in the way. And the hold has nothing more exciting than potatoes. You do NOT need to check the kitchen trash cans for items. Each ship will also contain a warp pad room, allowing people to warp between the different ships. Why, were you expecting zip lines? A tight rope walk? Please. THE ISLAND As mentioned on the travel itinerary, early in the afternoon, characters who are hanging out on the deck of the Tyrantic will start seeing a small speck in the distance -- a small speck that grows and grows until it becomes a rather cute looking island. The island is not particularly big, and from what can be gleaned, there are no houses or other structures on it. Instead, the island retains all its natural splendour, with plenty of greenery and an inviting beach. It's the perfect location to moor down at (the ships will remain in the air, but a plank will be let down so people can depart, and for everybody to stretch their legs. There is only so much space on these ships, after all! While the ocean waters are probably still a bit too cold to go swimming, the beach gives a nice opportunity to go for a stroll and perhaps collect a few seashells. The meadow and forests are perfect for people who'd love to go on a bit of a hike, and if you are the kind of person who is always on the look-out for a new friend to add to your roster, why not go and see if you can find one of the island pokemon? Available Pokemon Beach/Ocean Krabby, Clauncher, Wishiwashi, Pyukumuku, Mantine, Barboach, Bruxish, Finneon, Corsola, Cramorant Meadow Bellossom, Petilil, Cherubi, Butterfree, Oricorio (all styles), Cutiefly, Kecleon, Tropius Forest Aipom, Spinarak, Pikipek, Trumbeak, Nincada, Chatot The level range for these pokemon is lvl 5 - lvl 25 THE DANCE Despite the shenanigans Saturday evening, on Sunday evening, Prom will commence as planned. Of course, Riegfried and Soy understand if you aren't in much of a dancing mood after having dealt with three rather unfriendly birds, but on the other hand, isn't successfully handling three legendary pokemon worthy of a small celebration? You've met a challenge that few will ever meet in their lives and you have bested it! Surely that deserves some exuberance. Also, the band was already paid for anyway. So, for all those who are still interested in dancing and merriment, the big doors of the ball room will open on Sunday evening, admitting all within. For an airship, the room is relatively large, ornate and almost toweringly high. The ground floor is obviously set up for dancing, though there is also a small podium. Twisting staircases allow access to a balcony section about the dance floor where people can take a break, sit down at one of the many tables, and even get some refreshments from the banquet table. However, it's not the dancefloor or the fancy balcony that will be the star of this evening. About half an hour after prom has formally started, there is an actual live band climbing onto the stage. With painted faces and elaborate costumes Steam Powered Girafarig is here to provide your entertainment for the night. (And then quickly re-negotiate their contract, because nobody told them they'd be dealing with angry poke-gods here) However, that's not the final surprise Riegfried and Soy have in store for their guests. Once Steam Powered Girafarig completes their set, and the hour slowly starts crawling towards midnight, they invite everybody to the upper deck of the ship to witness a spectacular display of Fireworks, painting the dark sky with a wash of colour.

Sunday

[Is it...weird to say that Izuku is actually in better spirits now than he has been at any part of the rest of this weekend? Like sure, things could have been better. Something happened, as it always does, but even if it culminated in one of the worst ways it possibly could have...it actually worked out? Somehow?? Izuku isn't feeling quite so miserable about losing more people, especially not when he's pretty sure he has a girlfriend now. Like...that's a thing, and he'd be hard pressed to actually complain about it.

So he can be found at the dance doing some careful mingling, not having to hide the way he's feeling as much as before. It means that he looks a lot better just in general. Tired, but isn't everyone tired at this point? He at least didn't do any strenuous battling or racing...he's just emotionally exhausted, okay. He's not sure how much actual dancing he'll do, but Mighty his Eevee is of course up to his usual mischief, winding around peoples' legs in every attempt to get their attention.]

[gobetween]

[The Eevee certainly does catch his attention, which is needed at this point considering that, while he's at the dance, the dance wasn't what was on his mind.

Kneeling down, he offered a hand to the Pokemon, laughing softly.]

And who are you, eh?

[mightdoriya]

[Oh hell yes, attention. Mighty hops forward pretty immediately, nudging his head up into Gobo's hand eagerly.]

Eee! Eevu-!!

[He won't linger like that for long though, taking advantage of the pause to weave between Gobo's legs, fluffy tail skirting his ankles just before he bounces a few feet away, as if trying to coax Gobo into following.]

[gobetween]

[Ohhhh that was adorable. Gobo can't help but pet him a little, interrupted when the Eevee bounded away. He watched curiously, then laughed. Ah, this behavior he knew! How often had his Growlithe done this same sort of "come get me" thing?]

Alright, I'm coming, I'm coming.

[mightdoriya]

[This probably isn't the best place to play keepaway, but the Eevee seems totally undeterred by the sea of legs around him. He shifts into a playbow, fluffy tail wagging excitedly just until Gobo gets almost close enough to touch before he darts away again.

The back and forth will go on like this for some time, at least until the exasperated voice of his trainer rings out over the sound of the music.]

Mighty? Mighty! Where did you go now...?
