A/N: So, it's been quite some time since I updated. I honestly had many more things on my mind to devote another chapter. Anyway, this time I'll be doing Grover, which I guess a lot of you have been asking for some time now.
Your Grover PJOmetronic will contain:
1. One Grover, Lord of the Wild
2. That's pretty much it. He'll get the rest of his needs through nature.
Now, the first thing that you need to remember about keeping a Grover PJOmetronic is that he is a hardcore environmentalist.
Hardcore.
Of course, he'll loosen up a bit later on, but he'll be the most obsessive in the beginning. He'll probably first of all comb through all your stuff and throw out everything that isn't environmentally friendly, so you might want to lock them up and put them somewhere. Another thing, you probably shouldn't try to grill meet in the premises, or get anything non-vegetarian for the first week. Later on it'll be fine, but your Grover PJOmetronic will request a separate dining area if you do continue with such a diet.
You might be wondering why it is so extreme in the first week but gets better later on. The reason for this is that the Grover PJOmetronics, before packaging and shipping, are raised inside a small area of perfect wilderness. So perfect that a taste of something besides that disrupts his innate tendencies until he gets used to them. So give him some room.
Next thing that you should know is that while a Grover PJOmetronic might be perfectly cordial normally, he is not a morning person. Don't believe us? Here's a sample video of what happens:
The screen goes on to a small testing lab in the PJOmetronics Inc R&D facility. There is a small white table there with a Grover PJOmetronic sitting quietly. There's a clock on the wall showing the time, 7:30 A.M. The camera zooms out to behind a one-way window.
On the other side, a few plates of food are being kept. A few other PJOmetronics walk to the table. They start eating. It all seems fine for a few seconds, but then the Percy PJOmetronic asks, "Hey Grover, can you pass me the fork?"
And then all Hades breaks loose.
The Grover PJOmetronic looks at the Percy PJOmetronic as if he'd been having an affair with Juniper (which clearly isn't the case or the Annabeth PJOmetronic would have had him in a headlock way before) and then shouts, "YOU WANT A FORK? HERE'S A FORK?"
The Grover PJOmetronic then chucks the fork at the Percy PJOmetronic. "Whoa, Grover, what'd I do?" Percy asks.
"You wanna know why Jackson? YOU WANNA KNOW WHY? 'Cuz you've been going around hogging all the attention through the books and at the end despite me helping I end up being forgotten for the next five!"
"That escalated quickly," someone not visible on camera says. It turns into a fistfight and eventually several researchers are forced to break into the other room to intervene.
You hear some muffled screams as the video ends.
And that's it. You should probably give Grover a private corner where he can relax in the morning for a few hours before coming out. Treat it sort of like Dionysus getting up at ten every morning. Trust us, you'll be thankful at the end.
So leaving that, your Grover PJOmetronic might be okay with city life for a while, but you should probably take a trip to the park every once in a while.
Aside from that, to keep your Grover PJOmetronic busy, you should probably let him take care of any pets/plants you have.
Otherwise, aside from those few land mines he should be easy to get along with.
Troubleshooting:
1. My Grover PJOmetronic won't calm down after the first week and he's going crazy: Ah, maybe your Grover PJOmetronic hasn't been able to get the wilderness out of his system. In this case, call customer support and we'll mail you a bottle of Wild-Be-Gone (at no extra cost and free shipping and handling). Spray it over your Grover PJOmetronic and he'll return to normal.
