A/N: First of all, I'd just like to say that we've finally hit 100 reviews! Thanks! You guys are awesome!
So thanks to Koolkat0207 (just make sure the place has wi-fi so you can continue reading this), PrincessOfAtlantis, Vexy Minion (it was short, sadly, and this will be too sadly, being a punishment chapter, and other punishment chapters will be too unless I can think of more complex ones), Ayano's Theory of Relativity (it was a bit less in the unbelievably ridiculous stuff, I admit), Neutrino 2000, lunarchroniclesandcockatiels (that's a great idea, and maybe I'll do it some other time. Sadly I already thought of what the punishment was going to be. And it is rather hard to do ballet in a maid outfit, though that depends slightly on what type of fabric- okay I'll stop myself there before I embarrass myself), Calefe, CrazyBlueOwl (truth be told, that was a Yo Mamma joke that I told a classmate of mine, who told it to another classmate of mine, who laughed really hard at it but said she was laughing not because it was a funny joke but that she was laughing because it was a really terrible Yo Momma joke and was stupid. And it is still apparent how much autocorrect loves you), Star (Percy had to fall eventually and I do sort of agree with you on the Refuse You Lose challenges. In the original show, they were allowed to ask for some R-rated stuff so someone would eventually refuse, and I sort of wanted to have some people refuse but then always thought that they would do it anyway so they wouldn't lose. I'll see if I can change it or do something about it since it does take away the suspense of it), DrakonOwl21195, and Guest.
Percy was understandably nervous. "What is it?"
"We're not telling you just yet, Seaweed Brain," Leo said.
Percy stared at his fingers for a few more minutes before asking, "Just tell me whether or not it involves a maid outfit."
Frank frowned. "Unfortunately, it doesn't."
They were all standing outside a seemingly normal bookstore/café in New York… though Percy knew that rarely anything would be normal after Leo's punishment.
"So, this is what you have to do," Jason said. He took out something that looked like a laptop but was much heavier. "Take this, find a table where you'll be alone, and then sit there."
Percy knew that couldn't be it. "What's the catch?"
"You'll find out soon enough," Frank said.
Percy walked in, and the bookstore/café wasn't much too different from a normal one in New York. There wasn't anything odd that Percy could see, just people browsing books and stuff on their phones or drinking coffee, though he was kept guessing as to how many people were in on the prank.
Percy found an empty table though and sat down, keeping the laptop-thingy on the table.
"So Percy," Leo said. "Do you know what that thing is? I call it the Fart-o-Matic."
A bead of sweat ran down Percy's forehead. "You can't be serious."
"Watch what happens when I press this button," Jason said.
Immediately, one very clear and distinct fart noise emanated from the machine, and of course, pretty much everyone stopped whatever it was they were doing and stared in Percy's direction, wondering who had caused the noise.
Thankfully it was still vague enough that no one had pinpointed it out to be Percy, but they would if Jason pushed the dreaded button again.
"Really guys?" Percy asked, trying to keep his voice low, blood rushing to his face in embarrassment. "Fart noises? That's the best that you could come up with? First of all, like that dog poop thing, this is totally gross, and also registers as the lowest level of humor. I have to honestly say that I expected a bit more from you guys than this."
"True Percy, fart jokes are old," Leos said. "But what can I say? I'm a fan of the classics. I even read that one old book where the main characters die."
"You literally described almost all Greek and Roman classics, and other classics for that matter," Jason aid.
"It still is pretty funny," Frank said. "And so, your punishment is that you will continue to sit in that chair while we press the button. It ends only when we've managed to empty the store, or the manager kicks you out."
"Can you imagine how awkward that would be?" Jason asked. "I mean, for the manager. The guy, or girl, would have to go up to someone and say, 'I'm sorry sir, but your passing gas has taken away all of my customers and they're leaving. I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave.'"
Leo snorted. "Okay, that would be pretty awkward and no one wants to say that, but then again all your customers are leaving so…"
"Push the button!" Jason said.
The noise came out again, and this time it was pretty obvious it was from Percy. Percy wasn't sure what to do so he just tried hard not to look at anyone.
And then it happened again. Someone looked up this time and didn't stop staring. At least three people started giggling.
Percy felt so out of place a fountain ten feet outside the store suddenly exploded due to his nervousness.
Two sounds later, an old lady left the store.
Jason and Leo fist-pumped. "Yeah! We did it! We did it!" they began singing in an oddly Dora the Explorer sort of way.
Frank put on a Darth Vader mask. "The Fart is strong in this one," he said.
And so it went on and on, with Percy's face getting redder until it looked like you could make toast on his cheeks. By now, the café was half empty.
"No sign from the manager yet," Jason said.
"I say we increase the frequency," Leo replied.
Now, there were less than six people left.
"As always, this show really is an insight into human psychology," Frank said. "So many more people are leaving now that almost everyone has left. Clearly no one wants to be the only person who didn't leave."
Quite surprisingly, the entire store emptied before anyone kicked Percy out.
"Well Percy, you're free to go now." Jason said.
"I hate all of you," Percy said.
A/N: And that ends it. I added that maid outfit mention due to lunarchroncilesandcockatiels' recommendation. This ends the second arc of this story, and as always, the score will reset and we begin again with the next chapter, hopefully updated next week.
Thanks for reading, as always, and here's to a hundred more! Do please review if you liked!
