    Summary

    “What’s Percy short for, Jackson?” Mr. D asked one afternoon where Percy had been roped into playing pinochle again.

    Percy looked up from his cards, “it’s short for Perseus.” Mr. D was apparently known for getting all of the campers' names wrong, so Percy thought it was a strange question. Percy also thought Mr. D was a strange man–god, whatever–though so he didn’t say anything about it.

    “Why did your mother name you that?”

    Percy just shrugged. His mother had never told him why she had named him what she did, and now he would never know.

    Mr. D looked at him for what felt like forever. “It’s an unfortunate name.” He finally said. Percy felt like he should have been offended–if only on his mother’s behalf, but there was something in Mr. D’s tone that made Percy not want to question it.

    He looked back down at his cards.

    ---

    Or, Percy resembles Apollo's long-lost lover, Perseus. This isn't a good thing.

    Summary

    Why have one champion when you can have them both? A bet between gods that decides humanity's fate. Yaldy knows that the outcome is certain, now with both tricksters under his grasp. Yet Humanity's sponsor is confident. The ‘god’ of the velvet room does not sway. It’s incomprehensible.

    Everything is going according to plan.

    Isn’t it?

    Akechi is certain that these upstart Phantom thieves' rumors are of far greater consequence. He realizes this when the castle that once loomed over Shujin Academy was gone post-Kamoshida’s confession. Gone yet replaced, by something larger. Darker. He is certain it holds the final piece he needs for his plans. All he has to do is recruit one lonely boy over to his side.

    One misunderstanding later and Ren finds himself isolated at school. Burdened by the rumors of his own past-and-present actions. He takes the hand of someone unexpected.

    -

    Akechi and Ren team up against the PT’s and Shido.
