DISCLAIMER: I don't own Percy Jackson, I wish I did, I wish I did...
[cheesy music plays]
Big Speaker Voice: It's the show that- ah you know what? It's the same old routine so I'll skip it. Please welcome- er... You know her, ECHO!
[audience cheers as Echo appears in the chair]
Echo: Welcome back folks! You're on Olympus: LIVE! Now, before we were rudely interrupted by a angry thunder-zapping goddess, we were interviewing a daughter of Athena!
[audience cheers]
Echo: Uh-huh. So now, our next guest is pretty popular with our female crowd... and I believe most of you know him. Please give it up for the boy who didn't age for fifty years, spends more time with the dead than the living and smells of the Underworld. It's the son of Hades, NICO...DI...ANGELO!
[audience, mostly girls, scream and cheer as there's a puff of smoke]
[cheers die down as there's no one in the chair. Audience gasps]
Echo: Oh my! Where's Nico...? HOLY ZEUS!
[Nico Di Angelo materializes out of shadows in front of audience]
[audience SCREAMS]
Nico: Uh... hi. *waves awkwardly*
Echo: Oh my gods Nico, that was a dramatic entrance! Come and have a seat! *gestures towards seat*
[Nico gingerly walks over and sits down]
Echo: So, Nico... SO much to ask! How are things? Doing anything interesting lately?
Nico: Uh, I'm okay-ish. I've been pretty busy and all with the Underworld and stuff... *shifts uncomfortably*
Echo: Busy with the Underworld? Ooooh, DO tell!
[audience cheers]
Nico: *laughs weakly* Uh, you know... the normal stuff. Helping the Furies with the riots, helping police the long lines of dead people and hanging around Dad and things like that.
[someone in the audience shouts 'I LOVE YOU!']
Nico: *blushes* Umm... I love you too, random person.
[girl in audience screams]
Echo: *laughs* Well Nico, you seem quite popular with the female audience.
Nico: *squirms* Yeah...
Echo: Anyways, tell us Nico... how's life in the Underworld?
Nico: The Underworld? Well, not bright for one thing...
[audience laughs, one girl falls out of her chair giggling]
Random Girl: MARRY ME NICO!
Nico: *grimaces* Yeah, okay. The Underworld's pretty good. I can socialize WAY better with the dead than the living. *laughs weakly* I can meet tons of people down there, like for example, I met Whitney Houston last week, she was in Asphodel and to tell you the truth she is WAY nicer than the press put her out to be and-
Echo: *cuts off* Fascinating, you were talking about life in the Underworld?
Nico: Oh right... Uh, as I was saying... the Underworld's huge so lots of exploring time and stuff. It's pretty homey in Hades's palace even if it reeks of dead people and you can hear the screams of tortured souls in the distance.
[audience 'eeeewwwwws']
Nico: That and my stepmom Persephone is not quite fond of me so... let's say I feel a lot pity for dandelions more than I ever thought I would.
Echo: *whistles* Ouch. Anyways, another question for you. What does it feel like being a son of Hades? Rejected? Alone? Taken for granted?
Nico: *hand twitches toward Stygian iron sword* To tell you the truth, I don't have a problem with it. It's actually kind of cool with the ability to talk to the dead, shadow travel and summon an undead skeleton army whenever I want.
[female audience howls in laughter while males uncomfortably look on]
Random Girl: OH MY GODS NICO! YOU'RE SOO FUNNY!
Echo: *mutters in disgust* Stupid fangirls. *out-loud* HA! Anyways Nico, time for some fan-asked questions if you don't mind.
Nico: Question away, Echo.
Echo: Okay! So this is from a fan named *squints* Daughter of Iris. Here's what she asked!
Hey Nico, I just wanted to ask you a question. What qualities do you want your perfect girl to have?
[audience *oooooohs*]
Nico: *blushes* Uh... m-my perfect girl? Well... you know, it's sort of... ah... I'm not good with g-girls so... ummm... *shifts uncomfortably*
Echo: *laughs* Oh Nico, rest assured. There are hundreds of girls falling head over heels for you! There must be ONE who'll be just right. Come on, speak up!
Nico: Well... *scratches back of head* The girl has to be... well, okay with hanging around a guy who reeks of death...
[girls in audience scream 'ME! ME! I LOVE DEATH!]
Nico: Then... *bites lip* She has to be smart yet funny... A girl who can beat me in battle...
[girls in audience scream 'I LOVE BATTLE!]
Nico: And... you know... not creepily obsessed with me...
[girls in audience *aaaaawwwws*]
Echo: *cuts off* Oh joy. Anyways, time for the second question from a user oh so cleverly named 'Hi'
'Hi' asks:
What do you think about all your crazy fangirls? No, I'm not one of them 'cuz that would be [not Olympus-appropriate]. Bai!
[girls in audience scream 'WE ARE NOT CRAZY FANGIRLS!]
Nico: *eyes widen and glances at group of fangirls* I have fangirls?
[audience gasps]
Echo: *laughs like crazy* Oh Nico, of course you do! You have more fangirls that just about anyone! *wipes away laughing tears*
Nico: So THAT's what you call those crazy Aphrodite girls who keep stalking me? Holy [not Olympus-appropriate] !
Echo: *laughs again* Uh-huh. What do you think of 'em?
Nico: *gapes* They- they're crazy! They're like annoying fleas that don't leave you alone! Gosh, if I had the chance, I'd squish them! They- they freak me out! Once this girl followed me around for a week and took pictures! It was CRAZY! I mean-
Echo: *cuts off by laughing* Well Nico, that's-
[gets cut off by loud 'DING!']
Echo: *confused* Really? But I want to ask him so much more! Ugh fine... *turns to audience* Well folks, due to our set being nearly obliterated during the last interview, the annoying producers *glares evilly* has decided to restrict the length of the interview. So I guess that means we have to cut this short!
[audience groans]
Echo: I know! I know! But there's nothing we can do! So, thanks for being on the show Nico!
Nico: *laughs* No problem Echo. See you around.
[Nico gets up when a girl screams 'NICO, TAKE ME HOME!]
Nico: *confused* Whaaa...?
[another girl jumps up and screams 'WE LOVE YOU NICO! MARRY ME!]
[Nico stares in horror as an army of girls stand up]
Fangirls: WE LOVE NICO. WE LOVE NICO.
[Fangirls scream and start running towards him]
Nico: *scared* Oh Styx, not again.
[Nico runs offstage as fangirls start chasing him, screaming 'NICO! NICO!]
[audience in silence as they observe Nico and the fangirls of doom]
Echo: Well at least no angry god/goddess zapped us this time.
[audience screams as ground starts to shake]
Loud Male Voice: HOW...?
Echo: *exasperatedly* Honestly? We didn't do anything THIS time! I didn't insult anyone!
Loud Male Voice: ATHENA, HOW DO YOU TURN THIS MICROPHONE THING OFF?
Loud Female Voice: HONESTLY POSEIDON, YOU CAN BE SUCH AN IDIOT SOMETIMES!
[audience and Echo gasp. Echo motions for audience to keep quiet]
Loud Male Voice: THAT'S WHY I LOVE YOU OWL-HEAD.
Loud Female Voice: I LOVE YOU TOO FISH-FACE.
Loud Male Voice: *laughs* CAN YOU IMAGINE IF OLYMPUS KNEW THAT THE SEA GOD AND THE WISDOM GODDESS HOOKED UP?
Loud Female Voice: *laughs louder* OH GODS THAT BE EMBARRA- DI IMMORTALES! THE MICROPHONE'S STILL ON! POSEIDON YOU IDI-
[angry loud voices fade away]
[audience gasps]
Echo: Oh. My. Gods. *jaw drops open* That's SO going to make the front page of Olympus Daily. *laughs*
Echo: Anyways, up next is...
