A/N: So, this is an updated chapter. HoOisawesome, thanks for your review, and I like inserting little things like leaving 'presents' and stuff like Mars eating Mars Bars because I think almost everyone knows the stereotypical characters, and a little bit of something else is needed in these manuals. Sorry, bearah cubecars, I'd like to do a Calypso one but I haven't completely finished the Blood of Olympus and I want to in order to see if I'm leaving something out. Don't mention it in the reviews though. Ksoccer16, sorry for not replying to your review earlier, but thanks for mentioning my fanfic! DaughterOfAthena, thank you, and I think a lot of us would like to have some of these PJOmetronics, despite how dangerous they are.
And so, today we will be discussing the Kymopoleia PJOmetronic. Yes, we do as a matter of fact do minor goddesses, and Jason did promise to give her recognition first. Not to mention the fact that one of our major research stations is anchored out at sea and we don't want another accident.
So anyway, your Kymopoleia PJOmetronic includes:
1. One Kymopoleia, Goddess of Violent Storms
2. One Ruined Undersea Palace
3. One Audiotape
4. One Storm-Causing Metallic Disc
5. One Model Argos II, Capable of Self-Resurrection
Okay, so the first thing that you should do is to make a room for Kympoleia at the bottom of some lake. Now, make sure that whatever container you keep, it is at least seven hundred square centimeters in area and at least forty-five centimeters deep (that's 0.7534 squared feet and 1.476 feet deep for the rest of you, though you might want to use a calculator for this). Also, she will need a separate pool from anyone else, trust us, she doesn't want to share and no one wants to share with her anyway.
Another note, you might want to put this thing outside, since she does conjure up microstorms (yes, we just made that word up), which though small, can damage your household appliances.
Now, the first thing that you should know is that you should never call her Kym, as that reminds her of both Kim Kardashian and Kim Jong-un, neither of whom she wants to be compared to. Also, be sure to pronounce her name right. That's why we included the audiotape. Practice it. Also, don't mention how she laughs like a dolphin or that she should 'smile some more.'
Oh, but let me guess. You already opened her up and mispronounced her name already and didn't read the whole manual before opening her up like 99.995% of our customers. Or better yet, you didn't even bother reading the manual and just opened up the box like 87% of our customers. And we get blamed for the accidents. Okay, maybe we could make things a little less dangerous, but what fun would that be?
So, if you've managed to survive till now without your house becoming deluged, you can go ahead and safely put the Ruined Undersea Palace in whatever is supposed to become her home. You might want to add some seaweed as well. After that, put the model Argos II on the surface. Add some moss stones or something.
Now, your Kymopoleia PJOmetronic will want to test her powers out once by destroying the ship (don't worry, it will reconstruct itself within a few hours) and she might cause some mild disturbances in the atmosphere so be prepared for that. After a while the water in the container will become murkier, and you might see some other creatures in there. This is perfectly normal.
As you might imagine, building any kind of relationship with your Kymopoleia PJOmetronic is rather difficult as she doesn't like talking and you probably can't breathe underwater. That's fine, don't try and go swimming in what is her home.
After some time though, she might start warming up to you and coming out of her home to visit you occasionally. You probably shouldn't mention topics like her going to visit your Poseidon PJOmetronic, let her come to that on her own. Also, she will demand shrines and banners built for her, but just remind her that not even your Zeus PJOmetronic gets that sort of stuff so tough luck. This will probably get her mad. (You can however, order a simple Kymopoleia action figure from our website. She will appreciate the merchandise.)
After a long time, you and your Kymopoleia PJOmetronic might get along better and like the Hades PJOmetronic she might agree to chase away bullies, salespeople, and those annoying dinner guests who can't take a hint that you don't want them there.
Troubleshooting:
Boredom: Sinking a ship over and over again gets really boring after some time. For that, there's a game that you can play along with your Percy PJOmetronic.
So, take the model of the Argos II and place your Percy PJOmetronic on it. Then, take a stopwatch as well as an umbrella and/or raincoat. Place it on the vessel that your Kymopoleia PJOmetronic is in. The objective of the game is for Kymopoleia to sink the ship as fast as possible, and for Percy to make it stay afloat as long as possible. Your job is to measure the time and maybe cheer them on. You can add in a Jason PJOmetronic or a Leo PJOmetronic for even more fun.
Parenting: Oh look, you happen to have a Poseidon PJOmetronic in the house with you. Uh huh, they'll probably ignore each other, but you might want to act as a mediator in case they fight.
Briares: Oh, so you got a Briares PJOmetronic as well. Uh huh, well, Kymopoleia does not like him, and it really isn't good for you to try to get them to move towards each other. It might happen, but don't try to force it and tell the same to your Percy and Aphrodite PJOmetronics. As with most things, you have to make sure that she thinks she came up with the idea.
A/N: So that's done, and I realize just how many more PJOmetronics there are left to do and I'm like whoa, slow down! Anyway, I will try to do as many as possible as quickly as I can. I know I haven't updated this as often as I used to, and I'm sorry for that but stuff does get in the way.
And oh yes, I like that you guys like this idea, but I just want to mention one more time that this isn't originally mine, and was actually from an Animorphs fanfic I can't find anymore.
