OOC THREAD | HOST BID
The entire arena is lit up in subdued red. There is a curtain hiding the entire stage; a timer is projected onto it. The orchestra would be playing an instrumental rendition of the Worldvision 62 theme. Occasionally, images from social media with the hashtags #Worldvision62, #Ylfa, #Breaktheice would appear on screen with the timer. When the timer hit zero, all of the lights would go dim as a lone piano would being to play.
""BREAK THE ICE"
A spotlight would open to reveal Isobella Bachelor, one of our two hosts, standing on a platform in the middle of the audience. She would be wearing a black cloak, and with all attention on her she would begin to sing.
All alone in the spotlight
Are you ready for the great big show?
All alone on the Worldvision stage
Are you ready to start it all?
A large abstract glacier would be projected onto the curtain. As Isobella would gracefully moved her arms during her singing, cracks would appear in the glacier, mirroring her movements.
Could you ever leave, the magnificent scene
The great spectacle and the shine
The great spectacle for you tonight
Light would pour out of the cracks in the glacier, as Isobella sang. The mobile lights hung from the ceiling of the arena would descend and move like a wave, corresponding with Isobella's movements.
All alone in the spotlight
Are you ready for the great big show?
All alone on the Worldvision stage
Are you ready to break the ice?
The mobile lights would go out, as well as the projected glacier. There would only be a spotlight on Isobella.
Can you feel the nerves tonight, the terrible anxiety and song
Can you see the melody, yearning to be free
Just yearning to be free
During the small instrumental break a bunch of lights and pyrotechnics would start going off around the arena, as all of the spotlights would move from Isobella to the curtain. Suddenly, every light would focus on the curtain as suddenly, it would be ripped back to reveal the stage. All of the performers for this edition of Worldvision would be dancing on stage, as Isobella, clad in a simple but tasteful white gown, would be standing in the middle of the catwalk. Various spotlights and would be shining out and moving amidst the audience during the chorus.
All alone in the spotlight
Are you ready for the great big show?
All alone on the Worldvision stage
Are you ready to start it all?
The lights would start flashing again as the song moved to the verse.
Let’s put some light onto the songs
But keep the light for your life
And lets break the ice tonight!
A lone spotlight would be shining on Isobella, as she sang the bridge.
All alone in the spotlight
Are you ready for the great big show?
All alone on the Worldvision stage
Are you ready to break the ice?
The piano would play a few notes before suddenly transitioning into a new song.
""TONIGHT"
The lights would all move to Laura, would be standing on the left hand edge of the catwalk. She would be dressed in a similar fashion to Isobella. Several dancers would be standing behind her, all dressed in a similar way to her.
So you finally came and broke the ice
You're in your seats and seeing the spotlight
But are you ready for the show that will rock tonight?
Do you really think you're ready because you're not
Laura would start walking to the center of the catwalk, as the lights would gradually start moving out.
Those big singers, they have big teeth
You hope they see you
Thought you said that you would always ready, for it
But you're ready for it, no more
Did it frighten you
When you first saw the stars align
With the stage bathed in light?
The dancers would start moving with the song as it transitioned to the pre-chorus; both Laura and Isobella would be singing together.
And you hear sounds in you mind
Brand new sounds in your mind
But, honey, you'll be seein' them 'ever you go
But, honey, you'll be seein' them down every road
You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's coming!
Laura and Isobella would both hold hands as they would cross a bridge lowered from the ceiling; the bridge would connect the gap between the catwalk and stage, and they would join the dancing performers onstage.
'Cause, honey, you can stay or leave, but you won't let go!
(You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's happening!)
'Cause, honey, you can stay or leave, but you won't let go!
(You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's happening!)
The bridge would go back up as the lights would all focus on Isobella and Laura.
When the music hits it feels like something different
They sing something and you'll sing it back to 'em
The lights would go back to the audience, as the LED screens on the stage would start showing partying Worldvision fans from all over the multiverse.
Those big singers, they have big voices
You hope they see you
Thought you said that you would always ready, for it
But you're ready for it, no more
Did it frighten you
When you first saw the stars align
With the stage bathed in light?
And you hear sounds in you mind
Brand new sounds in your mind
But, honey, you'll be seein' them 'ever you go
But, honey, you'll be seein' them down every road
You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's coming!
As the partying fans were shown onscreen, the performers onstage would join Isobella and Laura in singing the pre-chorus.
'Cause, honey, you can stay or leave, but you won't let go!
(You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's happening!)
'Cause, honey, you can stay or leave, but you won't let go!
(You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's happening!)
'Yeah, honey, you can stay or leave, but you won't let go!
(You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's happening!)
'Oh, honey, you can stay or leave, but you won't let go!
(You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's happening!)
The arena would suddenly explode into a storm of light as the lights would all start going in random directions, alongside pyrotechnics and confetti going off on and around the arena.
You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's happening!
You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's happening!
You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's happening!
You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's happening!
You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's happening!
You've been waiting for it, tonight, it's happening!
All of the lights would suddenly go back to focusing on stage as the song ended. While audience erupted into cheers, the performers onstage would all shuffle off, leaving just Isobella and Laura.
Isobella: "Welcome everyone to the 62nd edition of Worldvision, coming to you live from the beautiful and icy city of Ylfa!"
Laura: "Yes ladies and gentlemen, for the third time we are back in beautiful Talvezout! I am Laura Ledin, and my beautiful compadre with me tonight is Isobella Bachelor."
Isobella: "We are the hosts tonight, and we'll be guiding you along the way for this year's Worldvision. But for now:"
Together: "MAY THE SHOW BEGIN!"
