DEMIGOD LIFE: THE REALITY
EPISODE 1 - THE CABINS
PART 2 [C5,8]
TRAVIS
welcome back from the commercials
CONNOR
that was fast, wasn't it?
TRAVIS
don't buy the Zombiegone in the second advertisement, it's a replication product, a rip off [A/N: (c) Big Time Decision]
CONNOR
if you one, a certain cabin might be able to brew you some real zombie repellent upon request
TRAVIS
he means Hecate cabin, kids of magic, but we won't be meeting them so soon
CONNOR
but for now, we'll get to see a really interesting bunch of cabins.
TRAVIS
yes, what a variety. violent, smart, literally hot and feminist.
CONNOR
and it starts with...the Ares cabin
camera on the weapon shaft and inside of cabin 5
TRAVIS
one look through their window and you know you're dealing with the children of war
twins shudder
CONNOR
fortunately they're out training right now, or they might smash the cameras and kill the broadcast
TRAVIS
no kidding. their head counsellor is none other than Clarisse La Rue.
CONNOR
strong, buff, and basically not girly girl
TRAVIS
for those who are wondering, or have bad mental imaging, Ares just sent us her picture from Olympus.

CONNOR (OFFSCREEN)
this came with the lovely threat that we would die if we didn't put this picture up
TRAVIS (OFFSCREEN)
we don't take these chances
CONNOR
by the way, that thing is a drakon
TRAVIS
a kind of ancient, giant, almost-indestructible dragon
CONNOR
we say almost because Clarisse destryoed it
TRAVIS
why do you think she's dragging the carcass around?
CONNOR
but you can't charge into a war without plan
TRAVIS
to CONNOR you could
awkward pause
TRAVIS contd
but you would die...I guess
CONNOR
to camera and folks, this is why I'm the smarter host
TRAVIS
but I'm still better looking than you!
CONNOR
Well dear brother, our next cabin would tell you brains over brawns, because cabin 6 houses the children of Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy
TRAVIS
you just saw their head counsellor a while ago at the Poseidon cabin.
CONNOR
you guessed right - it's Annabeth Chase, girlfriend of Percy Jackson, architect of Olympus, Head Counsellor of cabin 6 and too smart for her own good
TRAVIS
do NOT call her - or any other cabin 6 resident for that matter - a dumb blond. You may as well pick a fight with the Ares children.
CONNOR
because they are definitely smarter than you. unless you're the smartest athenian demigod around.
camera the library and lots of bookshelves
TRAVIS (OFFSCREEN)
Yes, so if books are your thing, you might be in Athena cabin studying pretty soon, even if you still have dyslexia and ADHD and stuff like that
CONNOR
but even if you don't end up in there, ou can still be smart like me
TRAVIS
BUT cabin 7 is really hot. Not travis-stoll-good-looking-hot but like really, really HOT
camera pans to the afternoon sun above
CONNOR (offscreen)
Oh what an afternoon
TRAVIS (offscreen)
standing under the sweltering heat talking to cameras. ah well, the show must go on
CONNOR (OFFSCREEN)
yes, so, you might be shocked if I said Apollo is the sun god. mimics protesting kid Helios is the god of the sun!
TRAVIS (OFFSCREEN)
Let me tell you: the romans started downsizing, Helios faded and Apollo got the job
CONNOR (OFFSCREEN)
it's not all that bad. he got a new ferrari. I mean sun chariot
flash video feed of glowing sports car on the GRANDPRIX track
TRAVIS (OFFSCREEN)
And he's still a great archer
video feed of arrows hitting the bullseye
TRAVIS contd
and the god of music
camera shifts to CONNOR sitting on the steps in front of the glowing cabin with a guitar strumming and SINGING
CONNOR
SAAAaaAY YOooOu'LL SHARE WITH ME ONE LOOooVEe ONE LIFETiiIMe...
TRAVIS
manually turns camera to himself but not that kind of music
CONNOR (OFFSCREEN)
hey! I'm good okay! strums angrily
TRAVIS
to offscreen Not as good as me! to camera Watch.
TRAVIS snatches guitar from CONNOR
TRAVIS contd
singing Try see it my way, do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on? Why see it your way, running round and knowing that our love will still be gone? We can work it out, we can work it o-ut...
[A/N: (c) The Beatles]
passes guitar back to CONNOR
to camera Now THAT"S charming
CONNOR
practicing to ask Katie Gardner out huh? Cause Aphrodite just commented that you should try "Boyfriend".
sings Have you ever had the feeling you're drawn to someone...yeah...
[A/N: (c) Big Time Rush]
TRAVIS
Al-right train for your popstar future later, we have a show to run
CONNOR
right then. The Apollo campers are currently hitting the bull's eyes at the archery range, which will be seen next episode.
TRAVIS
Meanwhile, here's another bunch of demigods who can hit the target spot on
CONNOR
If you're thinking twins, then great minds think alike, because I'm thinking Cabin 8.
TRAVIS
which is the twin of Cabin 7. Presenting...Artemis!
video feed of Cabin 8 glowing as sun sets
TRAVIS (voiceover)
dramatic voice As the sun goes down over Half-Blood Hill, the moon rises, and the Artemis cabin starts glowing...
CONNOR
breaking video feed Just in case you're going all fake voice "Whaaat? Artemis is a maiden goddess she can't have kids!", chill
TRAVIS
Cabin 8 is honorary. But it also houses the Hunters of Artemis whenever they drop by.
CONNOR
currently,their lieutenant is Thalia Grace, who is originally a daughter of Zeus and so happenes to be Jason Grace's sister.
flash picture of Thalia with shield and spear
TRAVIS
it used to be this old fashioned talk girl, Zöe Nightshade
flash picture of Zoe scowling in the rec room meeting
CONNOR
her father Atlas backstabbed her
flash picture of statue of atlas holding up sky
TRAVIS
the perks of being a demigod
CONNOR
demititan. Atlas was a titan.
TRAVIS
Perks of being a demi-whatever
both lower heads for silence
CONNOR
snapping head up and smiling as if no one's death was mentioned but on the bright side, there was this other girl, what's her name? Perry? Phoebe!
TRAVIS
Yours truly put her out of action for a while with the original centaur-blood stained shirt idea. She was really annoying.
CONNOR
relishes vicotory IS sweet...but glowing cabins are cool. And that's what cabin 8 is at night, as Travis showed you earlier.
TRAVIS
but we'll show you again
repeat video feed
TRAVIS contd (VOICEOVER)
If Apollo got the sun, it only makes sense his sister Artemis got the moon
CONNOR (VOICEOVER)
we don't know if she got some sleek Porsche or anything of the sort though
TRAVIS (VOICEOVER)
but you might be tempted to buy one in the upcoming advertisement break
CONNOR (VOICEOVER)
Afterwards we round up the Olympic council, and meet some special friends.
BOTH (VOICEOVER)
stay tuned!
ends with video feed fading out to black
Aaaaaaaand...CUT! The Stolls are really good at live shooting aren't they? By the way, do you happen to know where they get their film equipment from? *wink* Also, the camera man will be revealed in Part 3!
