    Summary

    In which the quest to rescue Artemis becomes an endless nightmare loop, Percy bemoans the fact that he's always the last one standing, Thalia keeps insisting her strategies will work this time (they won't), Zoë Nightshade's dignified Hunter composure crumbles more each loop until she's threatening to shoot the manticore mid-monologue, Grover has a complete breakdown every time he realizes they're looping again, and Bianca always dies. Always.

    Summary

    "You bastard!" Tei screams— grabbing him by his collar.

    (It reminds him of his Father: it reminds him of the calm room.)

    Daiki doesn't want to go home— not yet, Ikeda thinks. He's not doing that— not in front of all these people. If he becomes that... Thing, if he's reduced to that state Noriko is as good as dead.

    The thought helps him focus.

    Tei shouts again at the lack of response, "I can't believe you— Daiki, I... I trusted you." His voice breaks a bit, he's trying to stare Ikeda in the eyes despite his vision. But Ikeda is solely trained on his raised fist. Ready and waiting— instinctually curled.

    Shit. Shit. Shit.

    (For a second, his Father is the one gripping him— angry and violent. He needs to calm him down, that way: it'll hurt less.)

    (So Daiki does what he always does when he pushes his Father too far and wants to escape the consequences of his own actions.)

    (He fawns.)

    Or, Ikeda Daiki is apart of the Bleeding— the trial goes a lot different then everyone was expecting.

    Ikeda suffers the consequences.

    Summary

    If anyone here should be a narrator it should have been Luke. Luke wasn’t a kid. He wasn’t new to this demi-god thing. He was-

    The snake haired ladies were starting to annoy Percy. They should have three days ago when he dropped a crate of bowling balls on them at Napa Bargain Mart. They should have died two days ago when he ran them over with a police car in Martinez. They definitely should have died this morning when he cut off their heads in Tidden Park. No matter how many times Percy killed them and watched them crumble to powder, they just kept reforming like large evil dust bunnies.

    The description of crumble to powder was familiar. “They’re like Mrs.Dodds,” Percy said out loud. He felt cold because unlike Mrs.Dodds they didn’t stay dead. How was his future self managing to keep killing them? Percy managed to kill Mrs.Dodds out of sheer luck and with Mr.Brunner having given him a pen that wasn’t just a pen.

    “They’re monsters like Mrs.Dodds.” Grover began to explain and Percy should be thankful for Grover giving him answers but Percy couldn’t help but feel a bit angry.

    “So you admit there was a Mrs.Dodds.”

    Grover looked as though Percy had kicked him in the ribs.
