This year the choice awards stage was but a clear glass platform suspended in darkness. Pinpoint lights illuminated the seating area as characters file in and claim their spots.
Once all characters (and players) are seated, even these lights begin to dim, plunging the area into nearly complete darkness.
The Forces make their debut. A yellow-ish light shines over the stage. A large tome appears, giant-sized even, and slowly the leather-bound cover opens revealing the crisp clean parchment within. The papers flip quickly and slow towards the middle so that a drawing of Thuoth becomes suddenly lifelike as he steps out of the book. The book shrinks and Thuoth cradles it lovingly in his arm as he walks off to the side of the stage.
Next, a large plant begins to grow from seemingly nothing, budding, flowering. From within the flower, Worg stands and steps out daintily, a green-hued light following her as she walks away from the plant even as it withers and vanishes.
Two shimmering portals open, one white and one black. The white one hung suspended in the air while the black sat murkily on the stage. White feathers began to drift down out of the suspended portal while bats flew out of the black one. Taed rose from his lowly portal even as Efil descended down out of hers. The two touched fingertips lightly before breaking away and going to stand on opposite ends of the stage, their portals condensing into lights that followed them as well.
Then all of the lights that hung above the Forces abruptly pulled away from them and formed a circle on the stage, spinning around and dancing about in a dizzying pattern until it was nothing but a whirl of color. From this, Soahc emerged doing a backflip which he turned into a summersault and then stood, holding his arms out wide and then bowing deeply, leaving his whirling light-show behind him as he stood at the front and center stage.
This whirling ball of light rose up and up and up until, abruptly, it exploded into a cascade of a thousand little stars hanging int he blackness of the stage. Etaf descended lightly down from this starburst and with that the lighting took on a normal level for the show. Smiling, she walked up to stand at Soahc's side, holding the first award of the show.
"Welcome one and all, Narutans, to the annual Naruta Choice Awards!" Etaf greeted everyone. "And as traditional, we begin this show with a declaration of who the greatest Force of us all has been over this past year!"
"This year's nominees are myself, the reigning champion and winner of all mortal hearts," Soahc declared with a wink. "Etaf, my dear and fair sister who, if not nearly as charming as me, is at least as awe-inspiring. Worg, who..." He paused and glanced back at the stolid Force. "What the hell have you done lately anyway? Shouldn't your temples be falling into obscurity at this rate?"
"Not all of us are meant to put on big and flashy displays of how obstinate we can be," Worg sneered at him. "I am proud of my followers for managing to not make asses of themselves."
"But that's so boring," Soahc sighed. "Well anyway, Worg the silent folks. And finally, Taed. For being dark and broody. Chicks dig that I guess, but not nearly as much as they dig me."
"And the winner for this year's award is..." Etaf held the award up. "Soahc!"
"Yoink!" Soahc giggled and snatched the award from her hands. "Prrreeeeccciouussss..."
