Demigods

{(c) Full Credits to the owner of the image} /Camera pans to the stage/ [EMCEE] Everyone, let's all welcome, the cast of DEMIGODS together with their author/director! //Enter Namjoon and Yoongi escorting Jennie //Hoseok and Jin escorting Jisoo,  //Jimin escorting Rose and  //Jungkook escorting Lisa //Finally, the author/director enters with Taehyung as her escort/ [EMCEE]   Looks like we know who'll be author-nim's favorite, nae? /The crowd and cast laughs at the emcee's remark/ //After the photo-op with the cast, they took their respective seats //There are two rows of tables set up on the stage //The maknae line is seated on the second row which was elevated higher than that of the hyung/unnie line's row which was just in front of them [EMCEE] Now, ladies and gentlemen, we proceed with the questions. [REPORTER ONE] Hello. My first question is for author-nim.  What should the readers expect from this story? /Author-nim gets the microphone then takes a quick glace at the cast who were smiling widely/ [AUTHOR-NIM] Well I guess, for starters, Greek Mythology. *laughs* Then it has a "modern high school" setting. So it's kind of a mix between Greek Myth and... Gossip Girl. /A mixture of gasps and murmurs were audible as Author-nim just smiled innocently/ [REPORTER ONE] Gossip Girl? Isn't that the American Show full of scandalous upper east side High schoolers acting like adults and adults acting like teenagers? And Greek Myth? Those are some peculiar choices, author-nim. [AUTHOR-NIM] Kinda. *chuckles* I actually turned on the "Mature Content" toggle for a reason. I'm a huge GG fan. I kinda like how twisted their idea of privileged students  and how they handle their lives. Also, I miss the show so much. About the mix of Greek Myth, I kinda want to justify that these kids are well-off but in a more unique way. Since this is fanfiction, I still want to venture my fave ships into something other than real-time imagines. Also, I've already done the supernatural theme with Hex so I'm kinda out of ideas. *laughs* [REPORTER TWO] Hi. I too am a fan of Gossip Girl. Will there be an anonymous blogger who'd make the lives of these teens messy? If so, can you give us a little overview of his/her character? [AUTHOR-NIM] Of course! Gossip Girl wouldn't be 'Gossip Girl' without that xoxo, right? The Fate--which is synonymous to the trio who's responsible for the thread of life but only with an 's', is a "blog" in which students from Olympus High have an updated database of who's who and what are they currently up to. They're the ones who give the superlatives and posts the 'scandals'. Of course, the person who handles the blog is anonymous. [REPORTER TWO] So if there's a Gossip Girl, there's Serena. Then who's the Serena of this story?  The infamous Blair and Chuck? Dan? Nate? Georgina Sparks? [AUTHOR-NIM] The one difference I can tell is that I really didn't pattern the whole story to GG. Just the blogger thing and the idea of highschool scandals. *lol* But if ever there'll be a 'Serena' here, it's definitely Lisa since she is, my muse. Another spoiler alert, she's the blogger's main dish too. /Lisa gets the microphone/ [LISA] Annyeong, yeorobun! I'm Lisa from Blackpink. *laughs nervously* It's quite an honor being chosen as a muse for a story and I hope I'd match up to the expectations of everyone. *glances at author-nim very quickly* Regarding the comparison between our characters towoards the inspiration, I think we're a different group of privileged kids. Although we get caught up with scandals and complicated relationships, it's safe to say that there's no actual Serena, Dan, Blair and Chuck. There's only Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, Rose, Jungkook, etc. /Jennie grabs the mic next to her/ [JENNIE] But I'll definitely be a shoe in for Chuck. *winks* /Jennie's witty comment made everyone chuckle including the cast and author-nim/ [REPORTER THREE] This question is for Jisoo.  We heard that you'll be having an inconvenient appearance in this story. How did you handle it? And, if it's not revealing too much, can you share with us your experience? /Jennie gives the microphone to Jisoo/ [JISOO] Nyeong-an! *waves* I can't reveal yet the entire story  but I can reveal one thing: the mask makes me so hot. /The cast members burst out laughing/ [JISOO] What? It's true! It's makes my face feel hot! /Jennie leans towards her and whispers something that made her wide-eyed/ [JISOO] *panics* Ani! Aniya! That's not what I meant! It just makes my face sweat, that's what I mean. [AUTHOR-NIM] *dives in to save her* The mask on Jisoo's character is somewhat a big part on her story line which involves one of the parents of these demigods. Please do watch out for it! [REPORTER FOUR] If it's not revealing too much, can we ask the cast who their  God/Goddess parents are and what's it like working with them? With your consent of course, Author-nim. /Cast members look instantly at Author-nim who gave them a thumbs up/ [NAMJOON] Ah. *grabs the mic* Good day, everyone. I'm Kim Namjoon  and my parent in this story is ATHENA, the Goddess of Wisdom.  I was very intimidated at first but she was fun to work with.  I also learned a lot from her and she was indeed very wise.  *hands the microphone carefully to Jennie* [JENNIE] Jennie Kim. I think everyone can guess who my parent is, right? *looks at the crowd* You don't? *laughs* Well, my mom here is the Goddess of Wealth, HERA. I too was intimidated at first 'coz, hello? She's totally my idol! But she's really warm-hearted and motherly. She gave me tips on fashion too!She prefers Gucci. *winks* [YOONGI] *gets mic from Jennie* Yo. Suga here. I'm Min Yoongi in this story and  I'm the son of HADES, God of the Underworld and Death. He's a cool guy, really. He even showed me around his place. He's actually just misunderstood since they see him as  the King of Darkness or something. *shrugs* Shout out to Thanatos, *salutes* great mixtape, man. [JIN]   I'm Kim Seokjin, worldwide handsome, son of the gorgeous Goddess of Love, APHRODITE. I really enjoy working with Aphrodite-ssi 'coz she gives amazing tips on skincare and cooking! She makes the best ambrosia cupcakes in the world! [JISOO] Bultaurune! *laughs* I'm Kim Jisoo and my parent here is  HEPHAESTUS, God of Fire. He's such a caring and warm person which I didn't expect at first. He actually made me this necklace  *shows everyone her necklace with her name on it* from scratch! Isn't he amazing? *chuckles* [HOSEOK] Hello! I'm your hope, J-Hope!  I go by Jung Hoseok in this story and my parent  is none other than the God of Sun, APOLLO.  We actually share some key points--personality wise  and I've learned a great deal of lessons from him.  [JIMIN] Park Jimin, son of HERMES, the Messenger of the Gods. *smiles like an angel* He lent me some shoes with wings a day ago and they were awesome! He's a great mentor and would oftentimes treat me and the hyungs to some food. The girls too.  He makes funnier jokes than Jin hyung. [JIN] Ya! /Laughter echoed within the four corners of the room/ [ROSE] Annyeong everyone. I'm Park Chaeyoung and my dad is  POSEIDON, God of the Seven Seas. Did you guys know that he sings very well?  He thought me some techniques that would  improve the color of my voice. He's really daebak! [TAEHYUNG] Hello! I'm V. Call me Kim Taehyung. *smiles widely* My dad here is DIONYSUS, the God who knows how to have fun! /Everyone erupts into heaps of laughter/ [TAEHYUNG] He took me out to a club one time and it was so much fun! Well, that's what I remember before I blacked-out from having so much dri-- [JUNGKOOK] *cuts his hyung 'coz they might get in trouble*  Ireumeun Jungkook! *he smiles widely* My father here is uh, ZEUS, the God of Gods. Contrary to his character in this story, he's actually a hands-on kind of father. Hercules-hyung told me so.  Please watch out for the story soon!  *waves then hands the microphone to Lisa* [LISA] Yo yo yo! Wassup everyone! I'm Lisa and in this story I'm Yoongi-oppa's dongsaeng and our father is  HADES and our mother is PERSEPHONE, Goddess of Spring. Only oppa and I have parents who's both gods so please tune in to know the reason behind us being demigods. Please support and love us, juseyo! *full of aegyo* [OTHER CAST] *cringes* [EMCEE] Omo~! Nomo Kyeopta! A few more questions and then we proceed to the fans' queries. [REPORTER FIVE] Will there be other idols who'll be recurring or guest stars in this story? Can you reveal their identities? /The cast members looked at each other then Author-nim grabs the microphone/ [AUTHOR-NIM] There will be various guests that would make appearances from time to time. I won't disclose any of them but I can name a few recurring stars like Got7's Park Jinyoung, Red Velvet's Kang Seulgi and Twice's Chou Tzuyu. Whether they're friends or foe, you guys will find out soon. Guest Stars? Hmm. Bigbang, maybe?  Negotiations are currently on the works so, who knows? *grins* [REPORTER SIX] We've heard that this story will showcase multi-ships. For the cast, who do you want to be paired-off with? [NAMJOON] Honestly, I can't pick. These girls are equally attractive and talented-- /Jennie suddenly grabs the microphone from Namjoon/ [JENNIE] Just pick already, Joon! [NAMJOON] Fine. Rosie. [JENNIE] I pick... Taehyung! We'd be the best dressed couple ever! *laughs* [TAEHYUNG] *does finger hearts at Jennie* Sarangheyo Jennie-a! /Crowd chuckles at V's cuteness/ [JIN] I think I'd choose Jisoo or Lisa. [HOSEOK] My main girl, Lis! *points gun-finger at Lisa then winks* [LISA] *basically does the same* [JISOO] I'mma choose Namjoon--er, I changed my mind.  He might break my things. Jin for me. *laughs teasingly* [NAMJOON] No fair! No changing answers-- *drops the microphone beside him* /crowd laughs again/ [JISOO] You see that? [JIMIN] I pick... Lisa. She's a dancer like me so, yeah.  It would be great to shoot some dance cover with her. [ROSE] Um... I'm not quite sure but... I think it's a tie between Namjoon oppa and Jungkook-ssi. [JUNGKOOK] Me? *laughs nervously* Woah. I'm flattered-- [ROSE] But I choose Prince Limario! /The crowd bursts out laughing/ [LISA] Aww Chaeng! Sarangheyo! *she makes a Beulping Heart with her hands* [TAEHYUNG] I choose... Author-nim. *grins like an i***t* /various reactions from the other casts were thrown at him while the crowd laughed/  /Author-nim blushed crimson/ [JUNGKOOK] Smooth, hyung. Smooth. [LISA] I guess we have a new muse, yeorobun! *giggles* [JUNGKOOK] I pick Author-noona too! *laughs* /Again, author-nim turned a red-shade deeper/ [LISA] Me? Um... *grins* Jennie unnie. 'Coz she's sexy. [JENNIE] *shocked-shy face* Lately Lisa's been very touchy. Now I know why. [LISA] *winks at Jennie* [ROSE] I feel like I'm being cheated on. *pouts* [LISA] It's okay Chaeng. Limario oppa only loves you. Lisa's whipped for Jennie unnie. [JISOO] But Jennie's whipped for me. [JENNIE] True. [LISA] *fake dies and leans on to Jungkook* /The crowd and male cast members couldn't stop from laughing at how witty these girls are/ [EMCEE] Aw these girls, jinja. Last question from the press then we proceed to the fans. [REPORTER SEVEN] So, what should we look forward to the DEMIGODS? [AUTHOR-NIM] Greek Myth. Scandals. Complicated Romance. Drama. Some subtle comedy. More Drama. And... *grins* Some R-18 scenes. /Cast blushes crimson/ [EMCEE] Ooh! Intriguing. So that's it for the questions from the press. Next up are questions from the beloved fans out there. We'll be right back after some word from our beloved sponsors! ✿*ﾟ
