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.

"You could certainly say that (and boy, don't I know what it's like)," she thought with a barely suppressed huff.

"But I've been well (as well as could be on an inter-dimensional, living ship that's coasting the cosmos). At least so much so that I've come out of my usual hiding spot. And you?"

"Well I'm better now that you're here." he smiled and relaxed a bit against the wall. "But I've been good. Handling the club and doing work over in the hangar when I'm not training an' such. So nothin' too exciting but it's been swell. Kinda makes me feel as if somethin' big's 'bout ta happen."

"Something big, hm? I admit, I can't simply go wandering from mind to mind in this place (not without reprto pick out the good tidbits of information that would allow me to know if something were actually going on. But I'm sure we'll find out soon enough, right?"

She was far than confident that they really would, though. There was no way, barring insanity, that she could really bring herself to trusting Stacy and the position she held over them.

He crossed his arms and dropped his gaze slightly.

"True enough. Which is why I've been makin' minor preparations. Nothin' ta get carried away, but a few mods here an' there accordin' to what I learned from our last fight."

Shrugging off the thought he smiled at her, "But right now? Right now we get to enjoy the moment right?"

"Ah," she turned her head to scan the large room before bringing her visored gaze back to Splicer.

"Enjoy. Sure. This isn't really my thing (for obvious reasons), though I have been known to attend a Christmas party or two. Plenty of liquor there to even out my anxiety, though," she said with a lopsided smile.

He returned the smile and nodded, "Well, at least tell me if I can have a dance with the lovely lady standin' 'fore me yeah?"

"If you can handle the ruination of your feet by the missteps I will most certainly be taking due to lack of concentration (darn babbleroar). Then, sure! Have at it."

He chuckled, "I can deal with that." A warm smile spread across his lips as he bowed and kissed the back of her hand before leading her down to the dance floor.

She looked up at the much taller man and offered her hand to him. "What type of style will we be dancing to today, oh charmer of women? I couldn't (in good faith) suggest my earth's most popular ah...'dance moves'."

"Ah well, I was thinking something more graceful, something close and warm," his eyes locked onto her visor and he smiled, taking her out into the dance floor and pulling her close gently.

"Unless, of course you have something else in mind?"

[identity profile] piggyback-ride.livejournal.com 2011-08-17 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah, no. I had nothing 'in mind' as it were."

She smirked and settled into the closer embrace. "Never figured you for a slow-dancing type of guy, Agent. Color me surprised."

"Full of surprises really, tho I hope this one's a pleasant one." he smiled and led the step into the slow, pleasant dance. He'd make sure she had a nice time and hopefully forget about the situation they were in or her babbleroar.

"Ah, it will be," she said, looking up. "The slower steps mean i'll be gentler on your feet. And, quite frankly, it's been awhile since I could enjoy myself so freely."

"I'm glad to hear you're enjoyin' yerself then." he said with a wide smile, enjoying the pleasant moment himself. Gentle, graceful moves throughout the dance kept them close and focused, his eyes never shifting from her features as he led the steps.
