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.

"How cruel." There was an odd playful lilt in her voice, "You should be able to tell by now, there is nothing common about me." She smirked pleased with the comment of self praise. Even if MindF**k's opinions were counteractive to her own, this was the most she'd spoken with anyone in some time.

"Oh, no," she replied, mental voice brimming with amusement. "I think you've given me plenty (endless, really) of hints of your tumultuous past; enough to piece together that you're a delightfully nasty piece of work for a reason! As especially prudent of me as it would be to avoid most contact with a woman who has such a (well-deserved yet egregiously one-sided) reputation, I can't help but be intrigued that you have such well thought-out opinions to back your ideas. Just a (tiny) bit impressive, in the least."

"I suppose that will have to do for respect." Azula sighed dismissively but she was still smiling "Unfortunately I can't say the say for the people who are in control of my destiny on this ship. So many of this rag tag crew make choices impulsively."

"Honestly (which I always am), I don't think I can blame them too much, at least. We're all under the impression that we're the 'last survivors' of our world and we've got a (nigh) impossible foe to stop. I wouldn't be surprised if many of them simply think they're going to die on this ship."

"Not to mention the inability to track time, the (enormous but tragically) enclosed space and the relative lack of interaction with anyone beyond the people on this ship. Well...it's a fine groundwork for insanity to start seeping in (not to mention my description sounded like a prison, ouch!)!"

"To hear you explain it like that I almost feel like I'm the only sane person in a ship of insanity." Azula mused "It would explain alot." She added.

"Hey, now; given the circumstances, I'm a very sane person (I keep it that way)! Besides that; we're on an intergalactic living, ship that routinely awakens and puts 'survivors' to sleep. It gives us no direction and expects us to build a society and overcome our unfortunate predicament. We all nod our heads and go along with it because we really figure we have no choice. That, alone, makes us all a teensy bit crazy by proxy (I'm just thinking here...)."

Is her distrust of Stacy obvious?

Well if nothing else she may take comfort in the fact that Azula agreed with her on Stacy's trustworthiness. "How can we trust our own senses then knowing the capabilities and madness of Stacy?" She grumbled.

"You can't! Not really, anyways. Despite her being a living ship, even I don't have the (metaphorical) cojones to attempt to read her 'mind', in whatever sense that she has one. A.I.s (again, assuming she is one, and isn't some form of advanced life) are bad news for psionic-based abilities. Especially considering she has them, herself."
