LIGHTNING THEIF LINES

Luke's Lines in The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical :)

see you at dinner Percy! (Chiron exits)

Tough first day?

Before this morning I didn’t believe any of this

Believing doesn’t make it easier, trust me.

All this time I thought my dad was some deadbeat. Turns out…

He’s a deadbeat god. I get how you feel. I was your age when I found out my dad was Hermes, the messenger god. You know, Old Wings-On-His-Shoes?

Have you ever met him?

once

and?

we’re not playing catch any time soon. Look, the gods are busy. They have a lot of kids, and they dont always care. if you’re lucky (THEYLL SEND A SIGN IF THEY WANT TO CLAIM YOU, A SIGN TO ADMIT YOURE THEIR OWN)

(AND IF THEY DONT)

(THEN NO ONE CAN BLAME YOU FOR HOLDING A GRUDGE SO HEY, YOURE NOT ALONE)

(SO HEY UR NOT ALONE)

I’m Luke. I’m gonna be your counselor. Ther Hermes cabin takes anyone who hasn’t been claimed. You know what that means? We’re literally the reject cabin. Welcome to the dysfunctional family.

thanks, Luke

rejects stick together. Besides, there’s someone who’s been waiting to see you

Grover, I’m glad you’re here

WHEN PARENTS ARE DISTANT OR SEEM NON EXISTENT, HANG ON CAUSE YOURE GONNA BE FINE, i KNOW ITS A LOT TO BE HINKING ABOUT, ALL OF THIS AWKWARD ASS DARKNESS AND DOUBT, IF YOU NEED A FRIEND TO HELP FIGURE IT OUT, TOGETHER WEL;LL SEARCH FOR YOUR SIGN

come on, i can show you the blah blah blah

poor guy. he really fought the minotaur?

more like barely survived the minotaur

you dont believe him?

something doesn’t add up, i just cant figure out what

well if Annabeth Chase can’t figure it out

admit it, im the smartest person you know

also the toughest, so i would admit it either way

(are you ever gonna wear pant again) nope!

you’re going to need this (sword)

its a sword

havent you played capture the flag before?

are you sure he doesnt have a concussion?

This is Annabeth. Our cabins are on the same team. See, cabins are grouped by parent. And each cabin has certain.. gifts. I figure, if we find what ur good at, maybe that could give us a clue about your dad.

(whos captain of the other team? I am.) AAH

meet clarisse, the daughter of ares, god of war.

Hermes kids are fast, so luke-

actually thats a stereotype- foot brigade got it

i had an accident?

all hail percy jackson, supreme lord of the bathroom

what? what does that mean?

cmon, grab some dinner, and let the nectar flow

is the food here that bad?

offering to the gods. its not enough theyre omnipotent and all powerful, they need to feel appreciated. to the gods!

HE ATRE HIS CHILDREN

chiron wins!

he did vomit us up!

how abt u silena?

if I sing it might cause an avalanche

cmon we’re all friends here, give it a shot.

oh.. i dont know

A lot of halfbloods never know their godly parent. its okay, give it a try,

END OF CAMPFIRE SONG

go on. make your offering

to my dad, whoever he is

check it out, the stars

whats going on

i tild you, sometimes the gods send a sign

luke, whats going on

mr d want to kill you. i mean talk to u.

go west and face the trecherous lord

its got to mean hades right

a heros quest its only one of the biggest honor a halfblood can get

annabeths right. your dad needs a hero to clear his name. this quest could be the whole reason he claimed you.

END OF GOOD KID

pro tip. when youre the son of poseidon and want to be alone, dont go to the lake. first place theyll look. dont worry, i wont tell chiron youre here.

its like the sea and the sky are fighting

they are. when the gods are mad they want everyone else to know. I went on a quest last summer. my dad told me to steal a golden apple from some garden. it wasnt important. the world wasnt at stake. who knows, maybe the thought it would be fun to watch. or maybe he had a craving for apples. anyways, i got the apple, but there was a dragon guarding it. so i also got this scar. thats when i realized: the gods dont care about us, or if we get hurt. I get it. if it were my dad, i wouldnt go either.

that even if i found the bolt, id fail

thats pretty good, for the oracle. look, prophecies are weird, they dont always mean what we think they mean. and im not gonna say you owe your dad anything because you dont. but what about your mom?

my moms gone

from this world. but if shes anywhere… shed be in…

WE’RE GONNA MARCH STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE GATES OF HELL

underworld

Luke! you coming too?

Im needed here. but how about something for the road?

so where is the underworld?

Look for DOA records

WHERE IS THE BOLT

the bolt is on its way my lord. everything is unfolding as i… as we planned.

YOU FALTER

its nothing. the delivery requires certain… sacrifices.

(looks like we both have a choice to make seaweed brain) luke!

well if it isnt the big hero

you avoiding me?

not at all. tough last day?

but i dont feel like anythings over

I get it. my quest was supposed to be the biggest thing in my life. I came back changed, but the rest of camp was exactly the same. CHIRON ALWAYS SAID OUR PARENTS MADE CAMP A SAFE MAGIC SPACE….

TIMS SOMEONE PUT THEM IN THEIR PLACE

ares thought we were starting a war between the gods but its bigger than that. its about wiping them out and taking our turn.

ur the lightning thief

the oracle warned you, betrayed by a friend

ur trying to free kronos, why

he promised me the power to defeat our parents

hes using you to get back at the gods

good (edgy solo)

Luke what are you doing

what we promised. we said we would never forget thalia. join me. we will make the gods pay for what they did to her. to all of us.

it doesnt mean we have to make them (mistakes) too

i know youll choose wisely annabeth

youre right. its over luke

its not over yet, well, not for percy
