Would You Rather…?
The Argo II sailed somewhat safely across the Pacific Ocean. Leo was tinkering around with his tool belt, Annabeth was sketching out a new architecture blueprint, Hazel was trying not to throw up from sea sickness, Jason and Piper practiced sword fighting, and Frank was reading an article about grizzly bears. The only demigod with nothing to do was Percy. Bored, he strolled into Annabeth's room. "Hey," he poked her, "Annabeth. Annabeth, hey. Annabeth, guess what?" Sighing, Annabeth turned around, her beautiful golden curls falling off her shoulder, making Percy stare. "What is it, Percy?" she sighed, "I'm busy." Percy flopped onto her bed next to her, where she now sat cross-legged.
"I'm bored." he stated. Annabeth rolled her eyes.
"Really? You can't find anything to do?"
"Nope."
"Nothing?"
"Well, you see, I got this game but it's only fun with a bunch of people."
"What is it?"
"It's called 'would you rather'. It came with a bunch of cards, see?"
Percy pulled a neat stack of multicolored cards out of his jeans pocket. He sat up and gave Annabeth his most powerful sea green puppy dog eyes.
"Play it with me?"
"No."
"Aww, c'mon!"
"Go ask Frank."
"But I wanna play it with everyone! I love you."
"Not going to work."
"Please?"
"Alright, fine!"
"Yes! Oh! We can play in here, let me call everyone in."
Annabeth sighed in exasperation at her boyfriend's childish behavior. She distantly heard Percy shout through the ship, "EMERGENCY MEETING IN ANNABETH'S ROOM! GO NOW! QUICKLY!" After several minutes, the seven were all gathered in a disheveled circle in Annabeth's room. "So, what's this about, Percy?" Jason asked from a beanbag chair that he sat far too stiff in. Percy beamed and whipped out his cards. "I have a game," he announced from the floor, "We are all going to play it." A collective groan from the other demigods followed. Leo was the only one who seemed amused by the idea, "I needed a break." he had stated. Percy explained how to play.
"Okay, so I'm going to pull out a card and read it. It will have two options. We will then go around the circle and announce which option we would rather perform. It sounds confusing but it's actually really easy." he chirped.
"Oh, well if Percy, of all people, says it's easy…" Leo chimed in.
"Hey!" Percy cut him off, "Alright. Let's start."
Would you rather make out with Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee?
Leo burst into laughter, "Ooh! I choose Chuck."
"He'd kick your ass." Annabeth noted, "I'd do Bruce."
"It'd be worth it!" Leo replied.
"Neither." Jason grunted.
"Party pooper, Jason." Percy sang, "You have to choose. I choose Bruce."
"Fine. Bruce." Jason sighed.
"Chuck." Frank added.
Hazel turned a deep red and fanned her face. "I - I feel uncomfortable answering this. I - I do not even know these men!"
"Okay, you get a pass. Piper?" Percy inquired.
Piper's fingertips tapped her chin. "Chuck." she answered.
Would you rather have a bird that swears all the time or have a dog that constantly humps everyone's legs?
"The bird!" Leo and Annabeth shouted in unison.
"Yeah, I gotta go with the bird," Percy stated, "I mean just imagine it. 'hello motherfuckers, bawk fuck you, dipshit'. Haha!"
Hazel and Jason both muttered that they would pick the bird.
"The bird, definitely." Frank added.
"How boring!" Piper yelled, "I choose the dog!"
Hazel's hand fanned her face faster, at this point.
Would you rather have 5 layers of clothing on in the middle of the desert or be naked in Antarctica?
"Naked in Antarctica!" Leo chose, "I mean, I have the advantage there."
"Hmm," Annabeth contemplated, "Antarctica. I'm done with the heat."
"Yeah, I agree." Percy agreed.
"I agree as well," Jason announced, "I'm used to the cold.
"I don't know," Hazel droned, "I guess Antarctica. I would like some clothes on though…"
"Antarctica," Frank decided, "I'm used to the cold, too, you know."
"Eh?" Piper chimed, "Ha, I'm kidding Frank. I pick Antarctica, too. The naked part is a bonus."
Would you rather bite your tongue every time you talk or have bad cramps every time you fart?
"The fart one." Leo chose, "I talk more than I fart."
"Same." Annabeth agreed.
"You sure about that, Leo?" Percy teased, "And I agree. What about you guys?"
"I guess." Jason mumbled.
"Um, okay." Hazel muttered, her face bright red.
"Sure." Frank shrugged.
"I gotta go with you guys on this one, too." Piper finally agreed.
Would you rather kiss a pig or kiss a goat?
"Why do these all have to do with kissing?" Hazel moaned.
"Pig." Leo stated.
"I guess a pig." Annabeth clicked her tongue, "I mean, I already kissed Percy."
"Hey!" Percy cried, "I'm not that bad! And goat."
"Goat." Jason groaned.
"Pig." Hazel mumbled.
"Pig, I guess." Frank flinched.
"Both!" Piper exclaimed.
Would you rather kill a bunny or eat a live shrimp?
"Nasty!" Leo gagged, "Ew, uh bunny."
"You would kill a harmless bunny?" Annabeth asked, "I would do the shrimp."
"Yeah, shrimp." Percy agreed.
"Bunny." Jason decided.
"Heartless!" Percy cried.
"Uh, shrimp." Hazel decided, not wanting Percy to call her heartless, too.
"Shrimp." Frank stated, "I love bunnies.
"Bunny." Piper growled, "Ever had a bunny bite you? That's what I thought."
Would you rather make out with your friend's crush or go naked in front of your crush?
"So let's change this from crush to girlfriend/boyfriend. But, uh, not for you, Leo." Percy decided.
"Mmmhmm." Leo added sarcasm, "Thanks, man. I would make out with my friend's crush."
"I would go naked." Annabeth shared.
Leo wolf-whistled.
"Yeah, same." Percy agreed.
For a moment, they shared a knowing and turned-on glance but resumed the game rather quickly. Hazel continued blushing and fanning her face at these responses in particular.
"Ugh." Jason groaned, "This is dumb. I'm leaving."
"Whoa!" Leo put his hands up, "This is about to get good."
"Fine." Jason grunted, " I'm not answering this question though."
"Oh," Piper chuckled, "We all know what you would pick, anyway. I mean, of course my answer is obvious."
"I don't want to answer this, either." Frank complained.
"Me as well." Hazel added.
"You guys are boring as fuck, oh my gods!" Leo whined.
Would you rather French tongue one of your parents or French tongue your sibling?
"Sibling!" Leo wailed, "Both are pretty gross, though."
"I'm out!" Jason stood up and stormed out of the room.
"Aw, hey, no!" Percy called out, "Don't go!"
"This is awkward…" Frank mumbled, eyeing Hazel, "I'm going too"
"Yeah, I gotta take a shit." Piper announced.
"I do not even understand what that question meant!" Hazel fumed.
Leo, Percy, and Annabeth were left alone.
"This is sucktastic." Leo stated, "Okay, one more question then I have to go and polish Buford."
"Okay one more," Annabeth agreed, "I want to finish my blueprint."
"Ready?" Percy asked.
Would you rather moon your teacher or moon your crush/boyfriend/girlfriend?
"Crush for sure!" Leo exclaimed.
"Yep," Annabeth stated, "I'd do boyfriend."
"And I would do girlfriend."
"Okay, uh awkward." Leo stammered, "I gotta go."
Leo shuffled out of the room, leaving Percy and Annabeth alone.
"So," Percy started, "You wanna follow up on that last question?
