Ways to Annoy the Romans
Warning: Several of these pranks will probably get you killed, or at least tied in a sack with some angry weasels and thrown into the Little Tiberius.
1) Sing any song related to fire in front of Frank. "Burn Baby Burn", etc.
2) Refer to Octavian by disgustingly sweet nicknames, such as "Tavey-kins", "Snuggle-Bug", or "Octy-Wocty".
3) Dress up as Gandalf, ride on a giant eagle, and leap in front of a fort during the middle of a war game and shout to the invading team "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"
4) Fill the baths with oatmeal and/or grits.
5) Pass out "Team PiperxJason" t-shirts in front of Reyna.
6) Anytime you say something is "beast", stare pointedly at Frank.
7) During training, play "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Mulan.
8) Ask Percy if you can borrow his pen. Every five minutes. Even after he says no.
9) Go around talking in Latin all day. Be sure to mispronounce all of the words, and say them in a country accent.
10) Call the Ghostbusters on the Lares.
11) Dress up some of your friends as the PETSA (People for Ethical Treatment of Stuffed Animals) and sic them on Octavian.
12) Sing songs from Disney's Hercules during mythology class. Act as though you thought that Disney's version is how the story actually went.
13) Give Dakota three cans of Red Bull, four cans of Monster, and as many candy bars as he can eat. Then hand him a paintball gun, a pair of roller skates, and a ski mask.
14) Feed Hannibal peanuts, even after you have been told that he's allergic to them. Blame it on Octavian.
15) Talk about how much you love shish-kabobs constantly in front of Gwen. Always make sure that Octavian's in the vicinity so that you can ask him what he thinks about shish-kabobs, if he's ever made one, etc. Wink at him at random times during the conversation.
16) Refer to Jason as "Mr. Sparky", "Megavolt", or "Sparky-Sparky-Boom Man".
17) Ask Jason if you can borrow his coin for a coin toss. Repeatedly.
18) Play "We Are the Champions" over some loudspeakers whenever your Cohort wins the war games.
19) Lure the fauns into camp with promises of free donuts and coffee. Watch the resulting chaos.
20) During a war game, run around screaming "Look at me, I'm a target!". Then duck, and say "What's the matter with you? I SAID I'm a target!"
21) Ask sons and daughters of Trivia how good they are at Trivial Pursuit. Ignore the fact that Trivia's name has nothing to do with trivial facts.
22) Plant some fake Greek invasion plans somewhere that Octavian's sure to find them.
23) Refer to every faun you meet as "Mr. Tumnus". Ask him if he's learned any new Narnian lullabies.
24) Flood the Mess. Say that you only did it so that campers could have baths while the oatmeal is being cleaned up at the real baths.
25) Dye all of the officials' hair different colors according to rank. Praetors are purple, centurions red, etc.
26) Sing "Womanizer" anytime someone mentions Apollo.
27) Recite The Odyssey, Julius Caesar, and/or The Iliad from beginning to end. Anytime someone interrupts you, start over.
28) Sing "Grim Grinning Ghost" anytime you pass a lar.
29) Anytime someone does or says something stupid, slap them on the back of the head and yell in a really bad British accent, "You blocks! You stones! You worse than senseless things!"
30) Give Hazel a Happy Meal in front of Nico. Do not say anything, just give it to her with a very solemn expression, stare pointedly from her to Nico, nod gravely, and run away. This will confuse Hazel and annoy Nico, at the very least.
31) Play the "Imperial March" during evening muster.
32) Stare at all of the major characters in Son of Neptune. Don't say anything, just stare.
33) T.P. the field in front of Terminus. Sing "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" while doing so.
