It’s FINALLY done. I’ve finished the sit-com/reality tv show/whatever. It’s only one chapter/a oneshot because it honestly took so long just to write and I procrastinated a bit, but there’s like 4 drafts of just different scenarios for this AU and I’m tired. Not sure if I’ll post this on ao3 or not, but whatever.
context (I guess??) to my suffering.
@doodlebugdpj I hope you like it and I’m terribly sorry if it wasn’t what you were expecting! I understand if it’s garbage because it honestly is.
[camera pans on Will Solace’s face. He’s sitting on a love seat in a bland room and fidgeting with his hands]
Will: [blinks uncomfortably] uh, I’m not sure what I’m meant to—
[a piece of paper gets thrown at Will and he catches it effortlessly, he looks at the contents and sighs]
Will: [reading from the paper indifferently] welcome to the start of a spin-off series where we look into the lives of the demigods residing at Camp Half-Blood. There will be laughs, there will be hardship, but most of all there will be a rememberable and lovable cast of characters— do I have to read this?
Apollo [off-screen]: of course! How else am I meant to start off my career as the best movie director? You know, I’m still disappointed that I couldn’t be in the show, but maybe Hephaestus is just waiting to star me in something really popular! I know he would never brush off my experience and expertise!
Will: [sighs] fine, fine. —rememberable and lovable cast of characters who all face the mundane problems of Camp Half-Blood. Grab some popcorn and sit back because you are about to be sent to an entire different world.
[Apollo claps off-screen while Will puts his head in his hands]
Apollo: well done! Although I do think you need to be more expressive, but I suppose it’s usable. Now if I had done it I would’ve used more emotions to convey just how excited I was to show off my new show, but that might just be a me thing.
Will: [puts his hands on his lap] can I go yet? Nico said he wanted to play some video games today and I need enough brain power to mentally prepare myself for my inevitable defeat.
Apollo: [hums] I guess. All right, you may leave.
[Will stands up quickly and leaves the studio room/basement of the Big House without another word]
[The camera cuts to a shot of Alice Mizayawa and Julia Feingold, who are standing opposite each other]
Alice: so you know how Mr. D loves his coke?
Julia: [nods] yeah.
Alice: [giggles] so what if I told you I swapped it for diet?
Julia: [blinks] you… Alice!? Are you stupid?!
Alice: [scoffs] no? I am completely aware of the consequences! It’s called wanting to have fun, Juls.
Julia: [raises an eyebrow] are you sure you aren’t trying to impress Kayla?
Alice: [slaps a hand on Julia’s mouth] what?! No! Why would I?
[camera cuts to Julia Feingold sitting on the love seat]
Julia: [looks deadpan at camera] Alice has a crush on Kayla and before you say that it was rude of me to reveal that, I’ll have you know that everyone at camp knows except for Kayla.
[camera cuts back to the previous scene]
Julia: [sighs and gets rid of Alice’s hand] okay, okay. How are you supposed to know if Mr. D finds out?
Alice: [smirks] don’t worry, I’ll know.
[a beat of silence before a frustrated scream echoes through the camp, few campers look for its source]
Alice: there it is!
Julia: [face palms] you are so dead.
[camera cuts to Alice sitting on the loveseat, looking worse for wear yet smiling brightly]
Alice: I got put on dish washing duty for a month, but it was worth it! [she sits crisscrossed on the seat] Kayla said my prank was hilarious! Can you believe that? [her smile widens] I think I might explode.
[Dionysus sits at the love seat, looking beyond tired]
Mr. D: fuck you, Zeus.*
*Hephaestus TV would like to clarify that this is a figure of speech and Dionysus does not actually want to fuck Zeus.
[camera cuts to Cecil Markowitz, Lou Ellen and Will Solace sitting in a circle and playing a card game]
Lou: [places a card on the deck in the middle of the circle] UNO.
Will: [huffs] I swear if this is your third win—
Lou: oh please, you’re just mad you’re bad at a card game.
Cecil: [chuckles] even I’ve won at least once.
Will: [rolls his eyes] it’s a game of luck, Cecil. You don’t need much to win a game like this.
[in the background a cabin lights on fire and Percy Jackson can be seen controlling water from the lake to extinguish it]
Lou: [smirks] are you not lucky, Will?
Will: [deadpans] Tyche hates my guts.
Cecil: did you accidentally forget to heal Chiara or something?
Will: what? No! I take my job as head healer very seriously.
[the fire slowly dissipates, however the cabin is charred and badly damaged. Annabeth Chase walks over to Percy, the two discussing something too far to pick up on]
Lou: [shrugs] it’s your turn, dipshit.
Will: [looks at his cards, then places one on the deck ans grins] maybe Tyche doesn’t hate my guts.
Cecil: [groans] just great. [takes four cards from the opposite deck reluctantly]
Lou: what’s the colour?
Will: hmm, how ‘bout blue?
Lou: ugh! You son of a bicth!
[Will and Cecil laugh at Lou’s unfortunate situation all the while in the background the cabin has gone up in flames again, Percy and Annabeth staring for a single moment before trying to extinguish it again]
Will: [puts a card down] UNO!
Cecil: whaaaat?!
Lou: fuck you, sunshine boy.
Will: [grins smugly] I guess Tyche has finally blessed me. Suck it, losers!
Cecil: [frowns] you’re so cruel, William.
[the three friends laugh as the sun sets behind them. The cabin is no longer on fire and now Leo Valdez and Harley have joined Annabeth and Percy. They discuss something before Harley looks down dejectedly]
[the camera cuts to the bland room once more, Will Solace sitting in the love seat once again]
Will: for the record, I won that UNO game.
[a paper gets thrown at him and Will looks at its contents indifferently]
Will: [reading form the paper] that concludes the pilot episode for Apollo’s new TV show. He would like to thank himself for coming up with the idea and Hephaestus TV for sponsoring the production. Tune back in next Wednesday to catch the very first episode of the series. [looks at camera] how much longer is this gonna last, dad?
Apollo [off-screen]: dunno, I’ll have to check the views first. I’ll get back to you.
[the screen fades to black as Will stands up and leaves]
don’t ask my what kayla x alice is doing in here, I wanted a funny scene and kayla was the first person I thought of.
I hate this so much, but honestly I kind of just want to be done with this (for now). This most definitely branches out from my initial post because it’s hard to incorporate fight scenes when my vocabulary only consists of ‘explosions’ and ‘screams’ in that field. Also, I guess it would make sense if sometimes camp wasn’t in mortal danger and other times it was? So yeah. That’s what this is.
