EP1: THE SEVEN (still) FALL APART
"Welcome back to the show Gods and Goddesses, Frank and Piper are up here with me, and why don't we just go hmm… DOUBLE POINTS FOR THIS ROUND. With the top four answers on the board, here we go!"
The audience inside the Olympus Theatre cheered in excitement.
"Here's the question: What's a place you would never want to go?"
Piper just beat out Frank and with a grin and an eye roll said.
"The Aphrodite Cabin."
The crowd laughed and cheered, especially the poor souls who had been dragged in there.
"Too damn right." Percy muttered, too close into the mic as the rest of the contestants laughed too.
"Let's see if it's up there, The cabin that somehow beats the Apollo Cabin in brightness: Cabin 10, Aphrodite's Cabin"
The #2 board spun over and showed exactly that., with 25 points to it.
"Well, I definitely thought that would be number 1, but Frank, let's see if you can do it, the question is yours to steal."
"From experience, a shopping mall?"
The crowd half cheered, with some of the Gods and Goddesses muttering to each other trying to figure out what on earth this mall thing was.
"Some people are finding out what this is for the first time but hey, let's go shop till we drop in the Shopping Mall."
The board just flashed a giant red X as the crowd voiced their displeasure.
"Sorry boys, you'll have a shot soon if they can't nail this, but for now Girls time to play!" Leo walked over to their side of the stage after Piper had gotten back and celebrated with her team.
"Miss Levesque, your time to shine," as the contestants laughed at the slight pun, as Hazel rolled her eyes smiling, "What's a place you would never want to go?"
"Let's go with Alaska," She replied as he grinned at her fellow questers as they remember back to that adventure.
"Land beyond the Gods should be an obvious answer let's see if it's up there, Giant ass board do we have ALASKAAAA?"
The board flipped number 1, and 44 points as the crowd cheered.
"Congrats Hazel, very nicely done. Thalia absolutely-no-last-name, your turn: What's a place you would never want to go?"
"Oh this is gonna be up there for sure, The Olympian throne room in a Big Three warzon- I mean argument."
The crowd laughed like crazy as the big Three looked at each other and just shrugged which set the crowd off again for another five minutes.
Leo had to send the broadcast to a commercial break while everyone in the theatre regained their composure.
"We're back and I think everyone's okay after that, Thalia you absolutely destroyed us with that one, oh my gods, it better be up there, COME ON BOARD MAKE MY DAY."
The board flipped over to reveal #3 and 16 points.
"The girls might just run away with this one, Annabeth here is where we are sitting." Leo walked back upstage to Annabeth's podium.
"One more answer left, no strikes, so you are sitting in a really good position as the question goes to you: What's a place you would never want to go?"
Annabeth sighed. "I really don't wanna do this one but I'm pretty sure it's up there, The throne room during an argument between my mother and Lord Poseidon…."
The crowd got right back to the volume of laughing that they did before, as Leo, doubled over laughing, of course just pointed at the screen which confirmed the answer, giving the round and 200 points to the girls.
As the crowd died down and there was a lull of silence, Leo started to transition to the final round.
"Okay as we head into rou-"
"I blame Poseidon if he wasn't such a du-" called out a voice, which the rest of the present Gods instantly froze in fear of what could happen.
Leo paled as he quickly tried to get the show back underway without any owl poop or water getting everywhere.
"Gimme Jason, and then give me Hazel, before we have a mini-war in the theatre and here we go…"
Everyone got in place as Leo quickly glanced at his cards and laughed.
"Oh man this one is gonna be a doozy, Jason, boys- you guys mess this up I'm coming for you."
The crowd cheered in anticipation as the girls looked confused, and the boys looked intrigued as Jason raised his eyebrows.
"Heh, let's do this with another DOUBLE POINTS ROUND! Top 5 answers are what we are looking for. We asked 100 people: What's a word that follows the word 'Strip'?"
(A/N: I hate doing these but- If you know Celebrity Family Feud, you know where this is going and it's gonna be great)
Jason got in first, "Strip lighting?"
Leo pointed at the board, "We got some lightning for the lightning kid?"
He got a red X.
"Ooo no not today, as the question is in the hands of Hazel."
"Um, strip mining?"
Leo nodded and repeated the answer, only to get another red X.
"Seems like this is stumping these two, but let's throw it to Nico." as Jason and Hazel just walked back to their places with their teams.
Nico instantly said "Strip steak?" to also get an X
Leo pointed at Thalia who gave her answer, "Strip heater?" which followed the same fate.
"Percy, come on man give me something that's up there," Leo said almost pleading with him as everyone turned.
Percy smirked and leaned into the mic and gave his answer:
"Strip rip."
A couple of things happened here, and let's paint a picture of the room.
Oh, and of course a red X came up.
Annabeth crumpled against her podium with her head against the top, Piper doubled over laughing also holding herself against the stand, while Hazel looked at him with her jaw dropped as she tried to figure out what the heck he just said and how on earth he got that.
And Thalia was on the ground shrieking in laughter, clutching her sides.
The crowd erupted into the biggest laugh of the night, most of which were laughing so much they were crying.
Percy's own team wasn't much better, Jason was leaning against Frank as both of them tried to not fall over laughing, as Nico facepalmed and laughed, walking over to Percy who just looked like a confused puppy.
Nico whispered into his ear, and Percy's face went bright red as he grabbed his mic.
"I THOUGHT YOU SAID RHYMED MAN, OH STYX DAMMIT."
Leo walked over to him, as everyone else burst back into laughter, and showed him the card.
"RHYMED?! DUDE WHAT?" Leo exclaimed as a few chucked escaped him.
"Where in the blue skies did I say RHYMED? What's a word that follows the word 'Strip'? Oh gods man." Leo practically cried as he threw his hands in the air in exasperation
Percy just sulked and pouted a bit as Jason just patted him on the shoulder as the last of the chuckles escaped him and the rest of the teams.
Leo wiped the tears out of his eyes. "I know this is only the first episode, but I already love this show,"
The crowd cheered as they regained their seats, a few chuckling saying, "Strip rip" and then giggling to themselves.
"Annabeth please, save us," said Leo as he leaned against the middle podiums
"Strip graph?" came her answer, which flipped the #4 panel and showed a possible 10 points.
"Hazel, pass or- oh yep they're playing, and let's not waste any more time."
The music played as Leo walked on over to Thalia.
"Thalia, well a lot of answers have been crossed off already so let's see how we do. What's a word that follows the word 'Strip'?"
"Strip of Bacon, just cause I'm hungry." which made those who knew the Daughter of Zeus laugh.
"It might just be there, Oh magical board of answers: Do we have a Strip of Bacon?" The crowd cheered as the #1 tile flipped over, with 43 points attached to it.
"Ladies and gents, now we are rolling. Annabeth, you got us going- can you give us one more?"
"Hmm, is a strip of lawn on there." Leo just double pointed with both hands at the board, but got the dreaded red X.
"Damn, that's not good, Beauty Queen bring us back to another win: What's a word that follows the word 'Strip'?"
"This is gonna sound so stereotypical for someone of my descent, but a strip mall?" She cringed as she said it.
"Daughter of Aphrodite and a strip mall? Sounds about right, but does it sound right another win?" Leo pointed at the board, as it flipped on #5 and 7 points.
Leo fist-pumped the air. "Yes! And we are back, Hazel, we struggled up there before, but we only have 2 answers left, with 2 strikes. What's a word that follows the word 'Strip'?"
"Stripling?" Leo looked at her in complete confusion.
"I have literally never heard that word befo- oh it means a boy going from boyhood to manhood, okay board do you have it?" Of which it responded with another X.
"Well ladies and gents, we knew this one would be tricky after that start, but the girls could win it here, and win 300 DRACHMAS." which erupted a roar from the crowd.
"Thalia, one strike and two answers left, What's a word that follows the word 'Strip'?"
"Strip poker?"
Leo grinned. "Ooh la la- ow ow okay okay, board, is it there." He finished panicked, as Thalia death glared him and the crowd laughed as he cowered.
The board flipped as the girls only had one answer left, and #2 with 28 points available, as the crowd buzzed with excitement.
Leo barely controlled his excitement. "One answer to go, one strike. And 300 Drachmas ARE ON THE LINEEEEEE. Annabeth Chase, for the win. If you get this, you win the game and move to fast money. If you unfortunately don't, the boys have the chance to steal, and win the game for them." He said dramatically, as the boys huddled up to talk and figure out their answer.
"Annabeth Chase, Daughter of Athena. What is something that follows the word 'Strip'?"
Everybody held their breath.
"Striptease?" No one could laugh or wolf-whistle at the answer, cause you could cut the tension in the room with a Celestial Bronze blade.
"FOR THE WIN, is number #3 striptease?"
Everyone looked at the board, and all sighed and awwed as the board flipped the final red X, as the crowd re-worked themselves up.
"Oh Styx girls, unfortunately, your fate in this game, well it doesn't rest with The Fates, it lies with- definitely not you Perce." he pouted, as the crowd laughed.
"Oh come on man, after the last answer you gave me- hey Frank what have you guys decided, What's a word that follows the word 'Strip'?"
"Stripper?"
"Now that's one heck of an answer, but will it be the one? Here we go… to decide who goes to fast money… is STRIPPERS THE FINAL ANSWER?"
The girls had 176 points added to their score, making their total 376 as they celebrated the Red X for the boys, as they sighed and grumbled at the loss.
The crowd cheered, as the teams converged into the middle to shake hands, and exchange words.
Leo stood just in front of the mass. "Congratulations to the Girls! Piper, Hazel, Thalia and Annabeth now have the chance to add another 200 Drachmas to that 300 they just won when they play FAST MONEYYYYY, after this break."
"But before we go, and let the girls decide the two who will be playing, let's reveal what #3 actually was."
The card flipped over as the whole theatre chanted:
"STRIP CLUB"
And the boys exploded in shouts of how obvious it was, and they should have gone with their gut.
"SEE YOU AFTER THE BREAK FOR FAST MONEY WITH THE HEROINES OF OLYMPUS."
Yeah, I know that was a long wait, and honestly, I did not mean for it to be that long. Life got a bit nuts, and I wanted this up 2 weeks ago, and with Fast Money in here too.
But I just wanted this up so 2 hours of leaning against my bed, my laptop nearly dying and my knees clicking about 1000 times, here we are. Grammar and Spelling might be a bit dodgy but I just wanted to get this out to the world. Fast money should come mid-September if I have my sh*t sorted.
