Enchanted Aquatica---the Prom [WIDE OPEN Y'ALL]

[joyous_justice]

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

...It took a lot to get Allenby into the Sensoriums. The whole concept of the place gave her the complete creeps. How could anyone willingly go into this place? It was bad enough to have Stacy crawling around in their heads all the time without inviting her in!

Buuuut she'd been in brig while all the planning was going on, so it was kind of late to complain about that now. And after missing a wedding?! Like hell she was going to miss an awesome party. Prom. She had no idea what a prom was like except that it was going to be in costume and had an underwater theme. Allenby hadn't had a lot of time to order a costume special--or hell, even think one up--but she wasn't going to let Stacy have it all her own way.

She'd drawn a picture and told Stacy to make it, and she would never admit (even grudgingly) that she was glad Stacy had spruced it up a little so that it looked like something Alfred Nobel might actually have worn. The constantly-fizzing spark on the dynamite was a nice touch, too

Nearby, Shoutarou spied Allenby, and slipped on over, putting on his best fake-serious face and hands on his hips. "Now, Miss Beardsley, it's bad enough that you've flown the coop, but bringing explosives to a gathering like this?"

He shook his head, then sighed, dramatically putting a hand on his forehead.

"I'll have to take you in again."

[nobel_berserker]

Allenby grinned and waggled the stick of 'dynamite.' "Whaaat, this? This is just a harmless mining tool!" She put on a serious face and stood on her tiptoes in a (futile) attempt to make herself look more imposing. "Surely you know that Alfred Nobel was the greatest fighter of his generation! I couldn't let you put me under arrest so easily when I'm carrying on his legacy."

[thisclinchesit]

There's a delay, then Shoutarou laughs, unable to keep up the charade. "Okay, okay, I give." His laugh moves to a chuckle, and he smiles, hands in his pockets. "Good to see you made it out, Allenby."

[nobel_berserker]

Allenby had to laugh too. "Me too, seriously." She really hadn't been expecting Trudy to release her so abruptly. "I was startin' to get cabin fever in there. You guys oughta liven up those cells a bit!"

Hikari blinked, smiling quite a bit as she saw Allenby walk in. She was kinda dressed in a rather pink dress, and Tailmon had run off somewhere.

But still, Allenby was there. "Hey Allenby. Glad to see you. Are you okay!?"

[nobel_berserker]

"Heeey!" Allenby's face broke out into a huge grin when she saw Hikari, and she gave a big thumbs-up. "Of course I'm okay! Takes more than some time in a locked room to put a dent in me," she said.

[chosenlightchld]

Hikari giggled. "I guess that's true, but still, after everything I was a little worried. How long have you been out?"

[nobel_berserker]

"A little while. I didn't have much time to get ready for this whole shindig, so uh..." She plucked at the suit jacket. "Stacy had to do my tailoring this time." Allenby chuckled ruefully. "And ya didn't have to worry. It was my own fault for gettin' in there anyway."

[chosenlightchld]

Hikari nodded. "I'm glad you were able to make it!" she said, smiling a bit wider. "So... have you ever been to anything like this before? I haven't, so I'm not really sure what to expect later."

[nobel_berserker]

"Me neither!" said Allenby. "All I know about a prom is that it's a big fancy school party where people dance and stuff. But I didn't know about it having a court and you know... all this stuff." She waved her hand at the fish swimming above their heads.

[chosenlightchld]

Hikari giggled. "I'm pretty sure the fish thing isn't normally part of a prom unless it's themed like this," she said, looking around. "But it is nice that they were able to get this set up, isn't it?"

[nobel_berserker]

"Yeah, it seems pretty cool!" She swung her arms back and forth. "But... I wish they'd put it somewhere besides the Sensoriums. No matter what it looks like, this place gives me the creeps."

[chosenlightchld]

Hikari blinked. "What's wrong with them?"

She really had no idea why Allenby would be upset with it.

Zouichi was dressed like a pirate. Or like someone's artistic conception of one anyway, with a long red coat with gold trim draped over himself like a mantle, complete with epaulets. Alan was perched on one shoulder, cocking his head to look at the unfamiliar surroundings.

"Hey. Nice costume."

[nobel_berserker]

...oh, now that was a costume.

"I think you went and outdid me!" Allenby walked around him, flicking at the fringes on his epaulets. Dang, what kind of army used a fancy get-up like this? There was more gold on it than in a bank vault! "Just who are ya supposed to be?"
