Enchanted Aquatica---the Prom [WIDE OPEN Y'ALL]

The day had finally arrived for her big event, and Starfire couldn't be happier---or more nervous, actually. She was certainly not an expert on the inner workings of a prom, but it couldn't be too terribly complicated, right? As long as the people could eat, dance, and talk, it should be a reasonable success.

With that in mind, her decorations sprung from her mind into the large dome all around her, transforming a grey Sensorium into a beautiful underwater world, one with clear waters and free from the possibility of a shark attack.

The first change was the scent of the air, shifting into the comforting salty scent of the seas. Then the ground beneath her feet became a hardened sandstone, maintaining the gritty texture while remaining easy to walk upon---except for the smooth dance floor, of course. The grey dome transformed into a flowing bluish-green, rippling all around with fish of all colors passing in the background. Some of the 'sky' faded into a violet tone over the dance floor, lit by glowing circular lights in every color. Suspended in midair, they almost looked like motionless fireflies, though they sometimes swayed in tune with songs.

Tables arose from coral in all colors, rising from the ground and twisting to provide a flattened surface on the very top---rounded ones for guests, and long tables off to the side containing shell-bowls of food. Chairs were large floating clam shells with well cushioned interiors, some large enough to hold two people. More comfortable spongy places to sit were also littered across the area, notably by the large shell-shaped enclosure that was the promised swimming pool. It too was lit by the floating lights, providing what she hoped was a romantic atmosphere.

Finally, the glowing stage above the dance floor couldn't help but attract attention with its chairs. Six royal thrones and one plush chair of all colors directly in the middle rested in the back of the stage, leaving the front open for announcements. Just off to the side of the stage stood the DJ's table, with even that machine painted to match the soft underwater glow of the scenery.

Everything finally seemed pleasing to Starfire. With one last change, dressing herself in the formal attire of the prom, she sent out the signal to everyone and waited. She hoped they would have a wonderful time.

Ronnae was extremely happy to hear that, "It is~ He really likes exciting new sights and sounds and spending time with someone special." she smiled and winked at Kaya.

"Well...I've noticed that about him. I just hope I can be the person that is someone special, that's all."

Yes, she meant what she said.

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Ronnae was barely able to contain her giddyness at the words Kaya had just spoken. Did that mean she liked him liked him?! She'd wait a bit longer for confirmation, she didn't want to get ahead of herself.

"I'm glad, he really is a good guy, and sweet. I'm sure he'll treat ya good tonight, or any other time for that matter."

"Quick!" Zetta bellowed at Hit Girl. "Use the oversized nets that do be quite suited for capturin' boarders!"

[identity profile] kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm sure," Kaya said, looking down a moment. That was true-it was possible he would just treat her good, because he was Nokosi, and he was being nice.

"But...what if I don't want him to treat me like he would any other person?"

[identity profile] nokosi.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Indeed. I do not think something that ran this well would have been able to be done on the fly. I shall have to thank Starfire personally on the vast amount of work she put into it all."

Nokosi hopped up, still as full of energy as ever. There was still plenty left to do and plenty more he had to see before it was all over and done with. With that in mind, he quickly made his way to the refreshment table.

There was at least a full minute in time where he quickly tried all the snacks he could, before swiping two bottles of water and heading back to where Kaya sat.

He brushed his sleeve over his mouth to remove any crumbs that might have been left there, then passed Kaya the water with his other hand. "In the meantime, Kaya, would you care to go for a walk?"

"So to speak," she replied, splashing her feet in the water and watching the drops sprinkle on the surface, overlapping rings wiped away by the waves of the other swimmers.

"Was the West Genetics center used for recreation or for training? Or both?"

[identity profile] hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Got it!" She said, glad to have the Overlord back. She readied the nets, unloosening them in an instant, her fingers quick. "Let's get them now!"

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Ronnae smiled as she seemed to be nearing closer to what she suspected.

"Oh? What exactly would you like him to treat you as Kaya?" a bit of playful teasing was apparent in her voice.

[identity profile] aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Training," was her simple response as she looked out into the water.

"There were events planned by the student body and the faculty if you wanted recreation. The simulation center was for advanced Pandoras to train against simulated Nova assaults as to prepare for any encounters we would face later in our lives as Pandoras."

"She baked me a pie. Best apple pie I've ever eaten. Talk about good deeds being reward!"

And make no mistake, he's eying this latest batch of treats. But Morgan has no intention of eating them till he finds out what business she was --

"Business? At a prom?"

"I think I'd probably get censored," he said. "Heck, after the third multi-paragraph diatribe about the general idiocy of whichever given leader did something boneheaded or shortsighted, but was beloved by his people, I'd be LUCKY if I was only censored. And not forced to hide at the bottom of a dungeon, constantly being hunted down by five-man teams devoted to killing me for my loot."

He finally took a seat with her, which he did quite casually and comfortably despite the formal robes. So long as he told them to not rip... "Luckily for me, I still think you look pretty cute in a jumpsuit. Besides, you can always just use those mind powers to make me think you're in something amazing, it seems!"

[identity profile] kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"I agree," Kaya said, noting all of the care and planning that Starfire had made to this prom. There was no way that something like this would have happened on a whim. She had to have been planning to do this for awhile.

While Nokosi was gone, she was a little nervous, but did her best to seem composed. After all, this was nothing but an innocent outing to him, right? It didn't have to mean anything, whether she wanted that to be the case or not (she did).

When he returned, she took the water gratefully and took a long drink, wiping her mouth and exhaling. At the question, her mind shut down quietly, and she looked up, smiling.

"Sure, ok!"

[identity profile] kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
She was baiting her, and she knew it. It would make sense to say it to Ronnae, she would understand more than anyone.

"Like someone he cares for fondly, like a girlfriend," she said softly, "but I wonder if I'm horrible for wanting that."

Or stupid, really.

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Ronnae did a little excited yelp before settling down quickly embarrassed hoping no one heard or saw her.

"T-that's great!" She said in an excited low voice, trying to keep it down.

"You're no horrible at all! It's actually really exciting news~ I was wondering why he was asking me about relationships and such recently. I jus' figured he was curious, but considering you two have been hanging out recently and then you come together as a date to the prom, my suspicions grew higher. And now~ Well~ You know~!" She smiled broadly.

"I feel you two would make an incredibly cute and caring couple, but don't let my opinion speak, you tell me! Out of the times you've both spent together, how have you felt?"

[identity profile] kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Kaya chuckled. She didn't think she had ever seen Ronnae this excited in a long time. It was sweet though, that she would take an interest in what was happening with Nokosi and her.

"It's..it's just been awhile since Matt, and I'm not trying to think of Nokosi as a fling. But I know even that isn't true: Nokosi makes me feel really happy, and completely takes me by surprise most of the time: fact is, I never know what's going to happen when I'm with him. He's been asking about relationships with you though? Really?"

She smiled to herself. "Good. I can talk with him about anything, we can have these crazy discussions, and he's so free spirited and spontaneous! I really like being around him, talking with him, you know?"

There were people with tails swimming around in the water! Anwei withdrew her feet with a little jerk, and tucked them under herself. Her dress persisted in trying to crawl into the water; well, better than reaching for her neighbor.

So the West Genetics center sounded like a school. A battle school. But all she knew about a Pandora was it had something to do with Earth mythology. It was - a woman in a box? Now she was picturing women in boxes, fighting suns. That didn't seem very logical, though.

"I'm afraid I don't know about Pandoras. Are they like Gundams? Fighting machines?"

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Ronnae laughed a little and nodded, "He is, and I'm really happy he can relate and talk with you so freely without feeling as if you'd judge him. I know for a fact you wouldn't, you're amazing, and sweet and understanding. Much unlike most humans in our world."

"But yea, he;ll send your head spinning at times, but that's what makes him special, how spontaneous he is and how he lets his voice and curiosity spill out letting you into his thoughts as open as if you could read him at times."

[identity profile] aphephobiaqueen.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm not familiar with the term Gundam," she started as she looked at the people swimming by and eyed the curiously.

"But Pandoras are genetically altered and enhanced select females trained to fight Novas and be able to use Stigmas which grant us our powers. Novas are a mysterious race of aliens from another dimension that invaded our Earth out of nowhere and started destroying everything. Nothing could harm them until Pandoras were trained."

[identity profile] kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Kaya giggled, reddening a little. "Look, anyone who's inquisitive about people and can look beyond what's different would like Nokosi. I love just talking with him about things, hearing about all of what he's seen! He's led an amazing life!"

She nodded. "Well, stick around Ronnae: we're going to be dancing pretty soon! That might be something you'll want to see!"

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Ronnae nodded, "He really has. I'm sure his parents were mighty surprised to see him again at this age considering... Well I'm sure you'll know soon enough."

It was a bitter subject for her about his life, but not her place to relay the message. She smiled once more and nodded, "I'd love to see you both dance!"

"Sounds embarrassing. Were there cameras around for the inevitable wardrobe malfunctions?"

It doesn't bother him so much that they're created to die. They barely get a chance to get attached to life, just with one night to live.

"Eh, you're not that obnoxious. You're way less obnoxious than almost everyone else here." That's as close as he'll get to giving anyone a compliment tonight, probably.

"Actually, I'd be totally happy doing that. And the next time an evil robot rage-virus dream monster decides to run through the city, I'll just hunker down in my basement. I don't see what's wrong with wanting that."

He looks a bit surprised. "So wait, I'm in the friend club now? And yes. Yes I am."

He thought they were just 'coworkers that get along'.

"The Gundams are down on the hangar level. Bipedal robots, with implanted reactive weaponry and other energy weapons. I'm not sure what level of skill it takes to pilot them, but I suspect it is very high." They had been quite impressive in battle at NiSaris.

She listened, fascinated. No doubt why this woman had been chosen to come here. "That must have been incredibly difficult; genengineering under the gun, literally. Did you win? Defeat the Novas?"

[identity profile] kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh believe me, I know," Kaya said. "He did mention his family to me a little bit when we were talking. I'm glad he was able to rise above that."

She grinned. "Well, keep an eye out! We'll be getting out on the floor pretty soon!"
