Demigod Live!
Intro music.
Elisha: This is Demigod Live! And I'm your host, Elisha! It's just me in the studio today since my last co-host didn't work out. I'm told it might be awhile before they can find a replacement.
Sound of door closing.
Ian: Guess again!
Elisha: What are you doing here?
Ian: I'm your co-host remember?
Elisha: But – but I specifically asked for someone else! I refuse to work with you!
Producer: Sorry, Elisha, you have no choice. Our viewings sky-rocketed when everyone found out you two were hosting the show together. There's an on-going bet between the campers that one of you will kill the other before the week is out!
Elisha: Are you serious? Wouldn't killing each other on the air plummet your ratings?
Producer: Nope! The Ares cabin promised to name the fort they're building after the show if one of you dies and the Athena cabin has pledged to make a weapon worthy of the gods if you kill Ian.
Ian: Hey!
Elisha: Unbelievable!
Producer: That's the way the dice rolls, sweetheart.
Ian: (cheerfully) Guess that means we're stuck with each other, sweetheart.
Elisha: Don't call me sweetheart.
Ian: Oh, look at that! Our ratings just went up.
Elisha: Whatever. Let's just introduce our special guests.
Ian: I'll do it! (clears throat importantly) Introducing the magnificent, the wonderful, the only Percy Jackson!
Percy: Um, hi?
Ian: Also introducing the bravest, the boldest, the baddest, Charlie Beckendorf!
Beckendorf: Hello!
Ian: And last but not least, the toughest, the craziest, the crabbiest, Annabeth Chase!
Annabeth: (In a dangerous tone) Excuse me?
Ian: (chuckles nervously) Did I say crabby? I meant the greatest, uh, girl, I mean...help.
Elisha: While Ian's digging his own grave, let's move to the topic of the day. Last week, we listened to a segment where Annabeth cleverly came up with a plan to remove Percy, Connor, Travis, and Beckendorf from our last Capture the Flag game. Tell me Annabeth, how did you feel when Percy realized you'd tricked him?
Percy: Hey! That's not fair. I thought the game was over. She cheated!
Annabeth: I didn't cheat, Seaweed Brain. There's nothing in the rules against a little fibbing. As for how I felt, I'm a daughter of Athena, I like it when a plan comes together.
Ian: That's an awesome movie!
Elisha: Huh?
Ian: You know, the movie where those four guys are always doing crazy stuff? There's this one scene with a tank -
Elisha: We're not here to talk about some dumb movie.
Ian: It's a classic!
Elisha: Beckendorf, I hear that even though Silena played a part in deceiving you, congratulations are in order.
Ian: You dog.
Beckendorf: Um, thanks?
Percy: Dude, they're talking about you and Silena finally getting together.
Beckendorf: (embarrassed) Oh, that, yeah.
Elisha: Well?
Beckendorf: Well, what?
Elisha: Nothing you want to say or declare?
Beckendorf: Not really.
Ian: That's Charlie for you. A true romantic.
Elisha: You don't think your relationship with Silena was affected by the prank she helped play on you?
Beckendorf: No.
Elisha: Okay then.
Sound of crickets
Percy: What was that?
Ian: Sorry. I totally accidentally pushed this cool red button.
Elisha: Stop pushing buttons!
Percy: What are you doing, Annabeth?
Annabeth: I'm writing down a couple ideas for that weapon my cabin's making.
Ian: The one you'll make if Elisha kills me?
Annabeth: Yep.
Ian: Doesn't anyone think that maybe I'll kill Elisha?
Sound of crickets
Elisha: Percy!
Percy: Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Elisha: Whatever. Let's get back to our topic.
Sound of door opening and closing
Nico: This isn't the graveyard you mentioned!
Ghost: Sorry, Master. It would appear we shadow-traveled into a studio of some kind.
Percy: Nico!
Nico: (shocked) Percy?
Percy: Nico, I've been looking all over for you!
Nico: Stay away from me, Percy!
Percy: Wait!
Door slams shut
Annabeth: Percy!
Percy: I have to find him! I have to -!
Weather report sound interrupts the broadcast
Announcer: We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you this ground breaking news. The Princess Andromeda has been spotted heading toward San Francisco. All demigods are cautioned to notify the proper authorities if they encounter this ship. Do not, I repeat, do not engage the enemy. Known side-affects for those who see this ship include joining the enemy, dying in a pathetic attempt to be heroic, and feeling urges to dive off the plank repeatedly. And now, back to your regularly scheduled program.
Weather report sound
Elisha: Uh, Percy will be joining us again shortly after he...does something.
Ian: Yeah, he had to use the bathroom, like urgently.
Sound of someone getting slapped
Ian: Ow! Why'd you do that for?
Elisha: Shut up, moron!
Ian: I want to lodge a complaint! This is abuse!
Elisha: Quit being a baby. Let's roll the tape.
Static
Beckendorf: So, what do we do now that the game is over?
Silena: I'm taking you to the infirmary.
Beckendorf: (groans) I don't need to, I feel fine, really. Percy might need to go.
Silena: Don't you lie to me Charlie Beckendorf! I can tell when you're trying to hide how much pain you're in!
Beckendorf: Man, my girlfriend acts like my mom! Um, I mean – sorry.
Silena: It's okay. I would love to be your girlfriend.
Beckendorf: Great!
Silena: (giggles)
Beckendorf: Silena, the game is over right?
Silena: Of course it is.
Beckendorf: Then why is Annabeth marching Percy off like he's her prisoner?
Silena: (laughs) Annabeth's weird that way. Don't worry, I'm sure she's just playing around with him.
Beckendorf: (uncertainly) Okay.
Silena: Hi, Will! Charlie needs your expert healing.
Beckendorf: I'm good. I only have a few scrapes and bruises.
Silena: (scolding) Charlie.
Will Solace: Let me see. Huh, not too bad all though you do have a nasty looking cut below you're elbow.
Silena: See?
Will: Hang on, let me get some ambrosia for you.
Kid from Ares Cabin: Aaaahhhh! My leg! Get it out! Get it out!
Elisha: Hold still you big baby!
Beckendorf: That looks painful.
Kid from Ares Cabin: (screams)
Elisha: There that wasn't so bad was it?
Kid from Ares Cabin: You broke my freaking leg!
Elisha: Well, I had to do get it out somehow.
Will: Here you go. Half a square ought to do it.
Beckendorf: Thanks.
Silena: Thanks, Will.
Will: No problem.
Beckendorf: Ah! Nothing like the smell of freedom.
Silena: (giggles) See you tonight, Charlie.
Beckendorf: See ya!
Sound of running feet
Percy: Where were you? I've been sitting in a jail cell while Annabeth won the game!
Beckendorf: What? The game was over by the time we were done messing with the dragon!
Percy: No, dude. The girls duped us and planned everything to get us out of the game.
Beckendorf: They couldn't have planned all that!
Percy: I wouldn't put it past Annabeth.
Beckendorf: Why those little – we have to get back at them!
Percy: What do you have in mind?
Beckendorf: Sorry, man, I've got nothing.
Percy: I know a couple guys who are just as eager to get even with them and sometimes come up with good pranks.
Connor: (outraged) Sometimes!
Travis: Dude, we are the kings of pranksters and Connor has come up with our best one yet.
Beckendorf: What is it?
Connor: Here's what we're going to do...
Static
Elisha: I'm afraid that's all we have time for today. Tune in tomorrow for the third segment to listen to Travis and Connor's side of the story and how they ended up in the jail cell.
Ian: Did you seriously break that guy's leg? Talk about harsh.
Elisha: Annabeth, Beckendorf do you have anything to say before we sign off?
Beckendorf: Nope.
Annabeth: Not really.
Elisha: Beckendorf, how did you feel when you found out Silena tricked you?
Beckendorf: I think it was pretty obvious how I felt on that tape.
Elisha: So it really didn't effect your relationship with her at all?
Beckendorf: No.
Ian: I have something to say.
Elisha: (sighs) What is it?
Ian: I think Percy won the record for longest bathroom break ever.
Elisha: Of course you would say something stupid like that.
Ian: Hope he sprays in there. I really have to go!
Elisha: Stop being an idiot!
Ian: Is it true you sleep with a teddy bear named Mr. Snuffles?
Elisha: That's it! You are so dead!
Loud crashing and banging
Beckendorf: Should we sign off for them?
Annabeth: That might be a good idea.
Someone screams and glass shatters
Recording Sings: Demigod Live!
