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.

"He was an inventor!" Allenby said brightly. "He invented dynamite for mining--plus lots of other stuff--and then he founded the Nobel Peace Prize." Despite her apathy towards education, she'd made an effort to learn about the guy her Gundam was named after.

As for the dress, well, Kaya could think that. Maybe one day Allenby'd see if she was right, but she liked running around in trousers. "Looks like you got plenty of frill, though."

She sighed. "It's so dull in there. That was my first time ever stayin' in jail--I wouldn't mind not doing it again."

"So I guess you look up to that guy pretty much, and you want to dress like him?" Kaya asked? She didn't really understand it too well, but to be honest, Allenby didn't look half bad in what she was wearing anyway: maybe dresses didn't suit everyone.

Not that it would stop her from wanting to see how Allenby would look in a dress. "Well I was thinking of what I would like in something a little more elegant today, but I won't wear it when I go dancing: I don't think I can, I'd be tripping all over myself!"

Kaya nodded. "I remember: you get so bored! I'm glad I got to see you here!"

"Yeah, he ended up dedicating his legacy to peace and scientific advancement!" Partly because he hadn't wanted to be remembered for the awful things that people had done with the explosives that he'd invented. "Plus he was really damn smart."

Allenby almost said something about it being awkward to run out and get changed again, but then she remembered. "So you got Sensorium clothes too? I guess... it can be sort of handy, sometimes."

She brightened, though. "Me too! I'd have been real disappointed if I'd missed out on seein' you and everyone at this shindig."

"That's pretty amazing," Kaya said. nodding. "I'm glad you decided to dress as someone who's actions you've allowed yourself to admire. "I'm sure you have every reason to admire him."

Kaya laughed. "I have an eye for changing my clothes when it comes to the best of times," she said. "It's helpful."

She nodded. "I'm glad! I think its pretty fun here!"
