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.

Tobias fidgeted at the edge of the dance floor. He was dressed in borrowed clothes that managed to look a little rumpled on the uncomfortable human. He wasn't really comfortable here. It reminded him a little bit of the dance he'd been at before his capture. When he'd nearly missed the deadline. Besides all that he still felt awkward in a human body. Plus, he'd thought he was supposed to keep his morphing a secret.

Still. It would make Rachel happy and he was glad for the opportunity to spend some time with her, no matter the circumstances. He stared around him with that rather eerie, bird-like flick of his head as he tried to spot her in the crowd. Where'd she gone to?

Rachel, of course, wasn't even using the Sensoriums to enhance her look-- it was all natural, and she was confident that she looked great the way she was. It was a dress she'd picked up on shore leave, styling and elegant, her hair done to match. She was definitely okay with this-- and getting Tobias out and in decent clothes was always a win.

Not that he was doing great at the 'decent clothes' bit.

She casually strode over to him on the dance floor, with a small smile. It was nice, even if he was so obviously awkward about it. But she could fix that.

He actually cracked a smile when he spotted her moving across the dance floor. There was no mistaking her, ever. She had a smooth, graceful way of moving that drew your attention. And she looked gorgeous. He held out a hand, a little awkward, but getting better.

"Hey. Uh, you look good." Not exactly Shakespeare, but it worked.

Rachel moved a bit closer, her smile getting just a little bit bigger when he smiled back, and she reached to take the offered hand. Almost anyone else would have gotten a sarcastic comment for it, but for Tobias, she gave a sincere "thanks."

She pulled him a bit closer, with the intent of leading him out to dance with her, and she said, "you look... better," she laughed slightly, but it was good humoured. "You kind of give off the 'don't-want-to-be-here' vibe though."

"Thanks," he muttered, looking around the dance floor with another quick jerk of his head. As usual, he felt like he'd lost his glasses, at best.

"I mean--I want to be here. With you. But I thought we were supposed to keep my morphing quiet." With the loud music and the crowd, he felt comfortable enough speaking in quiet tones to Rachel.

"Aren't they gonna wonder who the awkward kid with long hair is?"

Rachel's expression softened a little bit, and she moved to have just one hand hold onto him lightly as they got far enough out, encouraging him to move with her. She knew he felt awkward about this, she did, but that didn't mean she couldn't enjoy it.

"I know," she said, sympathetically. "But it's... complicated, I guess." She gave a half shrug, nonchalant. "The whole thing's been kind of blown, anyway. It'll be fine. Besides, I think most people are kind of occupied with their own stuff."

"That's probably true. Plus they'll probably be too busy looking at the amazingly beautiful blonde." He wrapped an arm around her as they began move in something that resembled being in time with the music.

"I think Jake just wanted to keep it quiet since it's good to have something they don't know." A pause.

"Sorry. You don't wanna talk about this stuff while we're supposed to be having a good time."

Rachel smiled warmly at that, giving him an affectionate, light squeeze. "Working on your flirting skills?" she teased, voice warm. "You're not so bad yourself, you know." She hummed a little with the music, moving close to him.

"I guess. But whatever. I'll deal with it if he throws a fit over some dance." She shook her head and said, "No big. But yeah, let's just worry about that later, okay?"

"Probably been listening to Marco too much," he replied with a smile. Ah. Rachel being closer was nice. Especially since she was all warm and smelled nice and all.

"I don't think he will. Let's just relax though, yeah?" Easier said then done. He occasionally glances around the room, the same movement he makes in the air or on a branch. Looking for potential threats. He was also trying to keep track of the time, but didn't want to ruin Rachel's mood by asking how long it had been.

"Just don't ever emulate his 'flirting'. It'll end badly," she smiled back, staying close. It was nice.

"Yeah. That sounds fine," Rachel said, nodding her head almost imperceptibly. She saw him looking around, and it bothered her but... there wasn't much she could do about that. She frowned just slightly, but kept silent. She knew what it was about. She just held back anything about it for now.

"I'll do my best. Promise." He sighs quietly and leans forward slightly to rest his head against hers. He saw that frown, but he didn't want to comment on it. Not now. The last thing he wanted was an argument.

"What do you think of the decor?"

"Glad to hear it," Rachel smiled, and leans into the touch. It's nice to have Tobias like this, frankly. It didn't happen that often. And he'd been stuck in the pods for a long time, anyway. Maybe she wasn't a clingy sort of person, but sure, she'd missed him.

"Besides being totally weird and taking 'theme' too far?" she joked in reply to his question. "It's okay. I'm betting you hate it, though."

"It's not really my thing, no," he replied, looking around the room for a moment. Being inside wasn't really his thing anymore, either. He pressed a little closer in order to sway with the music. He was trying not to think about the time, to relax. But that little voice nagged at the back of his head. He'd be trapped again, this time no Ellimist to fix things.

After a short pause, Rachel rested her head just gently on Tobias, now that he was closer. Letting herself relax and get close to him. A moment later, she said, "Thanks for doing this then, I guess." She smiled a little bit. It was nice to maybe just chill a little bit.
