ACTOR AU ch 1-3

*in an interview with jillian and percy*

Jillian:

"It's gonna be so cool! Big sis is gonna die!"

Percy, chuckling:

"What my baby sister means is that y/n's character is going to pass away in order to be reincarnated in another world."

Jillian:

"Yeah! Imma kill her!"

*poseidon and aphrodite getting their makeup done*

Poseidon:

"It's amazing how much time is used for my makeup when I'm only going to be on screen for a couple minutes."

Aphrodite:

"You're complaining? I feel like I've got a new face! Not only that, the lamps they put behind us to make it look like we're glowing are so damn hot.

***

*after the eighth failed take of the funeral scene*

Director:

"CUT! Goddammit y/n! Quit doing that!"

y/n, who had been making funny faces at whoevers turn it was to speak and could therefore see her face above the pyre:

"You know you can't fire me! It's funny as hell so I ain't quittin!"

***

y/n:

"Who wants boba?"

All the child actors plus percy:

"mee!"

y/n, to percy:

"You can get you own damn boba"

*Chiron and dionysus are in an interview where the camera only shows their upper halves*

Chiron:

"A Lot of people think that the horse costume is just on wheels and I control it by putting my legs in the front."

Dionysus:

"Jokes on you guys."

*The camera pans down and Dionysus pulls away the blanket on Chiron's lap. Revealing, no legs*

"This son of a bitch doesn't even have legs!"

Chiron, laughing then putting his arm around dionysus and kissing him on the cheek:

"Yes, the legs are fully mechanical and my husband is always volunteering to be the one to put me on them."

Dionysus:

"You're damn right I am! Nobody can hold you but me!"

***

*during an interview with y/n*

y/n:

"It's super weird when im just talking to nothing for the iris call scene. Shout out to our editor and cgi expert bill though! I have no idea how he can manage to make stuff like that happen, he's magic"

(this is actually a shout out to my uncle bill. He helps me beta read and my story would be so much worse if not for him pointing out my mistakes)

***

*during an interview with the director*

Interviewer:

"So now that you've confirmed that the strix aren't cgi, what are they really?"

y/n:

*excited*

"Oh my god i've had to tell someone this for a while. So the strix are actually trained crows that we borrowed from the demon slayer crew and Nico is tasked with putting little props on them to make them look cool as hell!"

Interviewer:

"So you would say that the crows are really well trained then? To be able to act so smartly"

y/n:

"Weeellll, the demon slayer crew did train them really well, the only problem is that they are still crows, so occasionally they do get distracted by shiny things"

*cue a swarm of crows flying away with Zeus, who's covered head to toe in sequins for his costume*

Zeus:

*flying away*

"Help me! HELP ME!"

***

y/n:

*trying to hold back her giggling*

"Snrk-"

Director:

"CUT"

*through a megaphone*

"y/n we need you to keep it cool!"

y/n:

*still giggling*

"I- i know! B-but look at it!"

*full on laughing now*

*the camera pans to reveal a plastic skeleton*

y/n:

"CHARON IS A FUCKING PLASTIC SKELETON HAHAHAH!"
