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.

"Ah, she was rumored to be the most beautiful elf in all of Kalimdor! I see why you would have chosen her. I am sure it will please Billy as well."

He reached out a hand to hug his friend but stopped, remembering that he absolutely had to keep his hands to himself. She would be mortified if he somehow managed to mess up her clothing and really, he had a record for causing unfortunate and embarrassing (not for him), things to occur.

"You are excited for tonight though, yes? To be the Queen of our new monarchy that lasts exactly one day?" He was still unsure on that whole King/Queen/Prince/Princess business.

Ronnae laughed a bit nervously, "To be honest? I'm scared... I'm kind of hoping I don't win... I don't want to embarrass Billy..." of course she thought that it'd be her fault regardless of the outcome.

One eyebrow furrowed while the other raised. His lips drew to one side and he regarded her with a flat, bored look. Yes, all that skepticism is just for her.

"The only way you could embarrass Billy is by carrying on with a negative attitude."

"Y-you think so...? W-what about all those horror stories you hear about dance dates where everyone starts laughing at the shy girls or somethin' terrible happens and your make a big mistake and eveyryone jus' stares or... W-well you get my point!" she voiced a bit exasperated.

This was another one of those situations in which it showed just how much their child-to-adult lives had differed.

He'd heard very little about the things she mentioned, beyond the normal gossip that seemed to travel the city far faster than any military news. In fact, he could never remember a time where he went on a date, much less a dance date, so he could only take her word that that's really what happened during these events.

Nokosi bit back a sigh and instead, regarded her with a mischievous smile. "Ronnae, I will admit that I do not know Billy half as well as some people aboard this ship, but I do know that he is not the type of man who would be embarrassed about something that happened to you. He would be frantically worried about your feelings, comfort you and whisk from your source of despair, much like the Prince in the stories you have read me." He really did like those stories, even if they were written for children.

"Such a heroic save is what you deserve, yes? And you are nothing short of royalty on any given day."

Nokosi had a way of always saying what needed to be said regardless of the situation or her feelings, it was more about being a true friend.

The blush quickly rose to her cheeks and she smiled sheepishly. "Thanks... I... I d-don't think I am but... if you t-think I am... I... T-thanks Kosi."

She leaned over and gave him a soft hug before sitting back down. "H-how are you liking this so far?"

[identity profile] nokosi.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Nokosi returned the hug, glad that he could boost the esteem of his friend, even if it were a tiny bit. It added up, after all and maybe one day she would just realize that the positive things everyone had been saying were all true.

He wasn't as naive to believe that would happen, but stranger things had occurred.

The elf nestled himself back in his chair an folded one leg over the other. "So far I have to say that you and Kaya were very accurate in your assessment of what might happen here. It is interesting, I think. Adventurous in a completely different manner, but still quite fun. I am enjoying myself so far."

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Ronnae smiled brightly and nodded, "I'm really happy to hear you have been enjoying yourself. I was a bit worried it might not have been your cup of tea, but I figured you would have liked the theme at least and wanted to have fun in the area."

[identity profile] nokosi.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah, yes! The theme reminds me much of Vashj'ir! I would enjoy swimming in this place very much," he said, motioning to their surroundings. "And I am also looking very forward to dancing as well."

He paused and looked at her pointedly, the corner of his lips turned up in the smallest of a smile. "You will dance with me tonight, yes?"

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"I.... I'll try. I don't know what I'll be doing by then but... h-hopefully I'll be able to join you." she said a bit sheepishly.

"Excellent!" The elf exclaimed, throwing his arms up in joy. "I will be looking forward to it, Ronnae."

His eyes scanned her form quickly before fixing themselves back on her face.
"If we get the chance, I think we should take it easy as to avoid destroying your clothing." With the type of dancing they had practiced previously, 'destroy' was a very fitting word.

Ronnae smiled, "I'd hope to keep my clothes intact please. They're very important and I'd hate to think what Queen Azshara would say if she saw her dress getting torn."

[identity profile] nokosi.livejournal.com 2011-08-10 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
He made a face. According to rumors and history, Queen Azshara would have probably gone ballistic to see such a thing.

"You have a point! I will, of course, be on my best behavior tonight," he stated with a sharp nod. "Now. you should probably go meet with your lover before I decide to steal you away. I am sure he is anxious to see you."

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-08-10 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Ronnae giggled and blushed, smiling brightly at her friend before giving him another light hug and a chaste kiss on the lips.

"Okays~ I'll see you later then Kosi."

[identity profile] nokosi.livejournal.com 2011-08-10 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
He hopped up from his seat and bowed to the Orc girl before him. "Aye, I will see you later tonight! Hopefully still in a rather chipper mood."
