[This is a familiar dream for Percy: he's done it many times before. Percy is in a straitjacket and is being forced to take a standardized test. The teacher supervising him is a harpy-- those who paid attention during Camp Half-Blood will recognize it instantly.

But there's probably going to be more. There usually is in his dreams]

Confinement/Claustrophobia

[waterproofed]

[the room remains the same. The other person who comes in will be in a straitjacket as well. It doesn't seem so bad, right? Except you can't seem to get out of that straitjacket]

[Danny falls into the room struggling.]

Will someone get this thing off me!

[waterproofed]

Uhh. What are you doing here, dude?

Please remember to use a sharpened number two pencil, children!!

[schrodingersghost]

I don't know. Something seriously weird is going on, okay.

[He struggles some more with the straitjacket.]

Oh, come on! Why can't I phase out of this thing?

[waterproofed]

I donno. Evil straitjacket.

[schrodingersghost]

Who even bothers to make ghost-proof straitjackets?

[waterproofed]

I donno. Who bothers to make you take standardized tests while in straitjackets?

Remember to completely fill in the circle, children! [yep the harpy is still there ignoring their conversation]

[schrodingersghost]

I don't know. I think a couple of my teachers back home might have have had the thought occur.

[Ignoring the harpy.]

[waterproofed]

If I could just get to my sword I could bust us out of these. [wiggles restlessly]

[schrodingersghost]

Where is it? [Squirming.]

[waterproofed]

[Percy falls over in his chair. A pen is visible in his pats pocket. The walls have gotten a little closer while they struggled, though not enough to really be noticeable right away]

Urghh... Almost got it.

[schrodingersghost]

...Hurrying might be good?

[waterproofed]

[the pen rolls on the floor between the two of them]

Get it! Right there! [yes the weapon is a pen]

[schrodingersghost]

[At least it wasn't a tube of lipstick. Lets not ask why his parents thought making an ectoblaster disguised as one was a great idea.]

Great! How do we get it now?

[He squirms his arms again.]

[waterproofed]

I donno. Don't you have any gadgets on your ghost tool belt?

[schrodingersghost]

All I have is a thermos,.

[waterproofed]

A really cool one that holds the winds or something like that? [yeah it's a stretch but hey, worth a shot]

[schrodingersghost]

Don't be ridiculous, you can's fight ghosts with something like that. It's a thermos that traps ghosts.

[waterproofed]

[welp that doesn't help at all, so Percy's going back to struggling with his straitjacket. And while they talked the walls got a little bit closer. The harpy screeches at them to get back to their test]

[schrodingersghost]

[Yeah, Danny was running out of ideas. He goes back to trying to break the jacket. If he could just get one finger free...]

[waterproofed]

[this is Percy's nightmare so it will suck more for him. Danny might actually manage to break out of his straitjacket]

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny at last manages to force phase one hand through the material. He immediately blasts at the rest of the fabric and begins to squirm out through the holes.]

[waterproofed]

..Whoa. [Percy pauses in his own squirming to watch. That was pretty impressive]

[schrodingersghost]

[Finally free, Danny quickly runs over to Percy. He scoops up the pen sword on the way.]

Okay, how do I get you out of there?

[waterproofed]

Use scissors? [hey they're in a classrom; why not?]
