[Hi, Percy.

Here's Damian, looking not so much worried as perhaps a bit rushed when he comes into Percy's room. Makes sure no one else is there before he asks:] Have you spoken to Todd about the Deputy?

[There's a mumbled "well, fuck" under his breath.]

...I need to tell you something else that I found out about the Sheriff, but one thing at a time. Also shut up, you're ten. I know you can handle yourself, but I can, too. And you're still worrying about me, aren't you? Papika and Yuna are definitely people we should be watching.

Maybe we should make a list of people in that "young" age range. It'll give us something to work with at least.

[bittybat]

[Wow wtf, don't tell him to shut up, Percy Jackson!]

Me, you, Russell, Tohsaka, Papika, Yuki, Potter, Xion, Goodman. Those are the remaining ones who haven't been in the stocks yet.

[hydrokinetics]

...did you really have this list prepared? [He smirks a little, but.] Who says the Deputy won't repeat the pattern, too, just to throw us off?

[bittybat]

[He gives Percy a look as if to say, "What?" about the list. Listen, he has a damn good memory, and he can quickly recall everyone their age who hadn't been in the stocks. Blame his father.] Irrelevant.

If this holds true, the Deputy has already made the error by putting three teenagers into the stocks already. Covering their motivations would have meant picking more adults already.

[An eyeroll. Damn bats.]

Good point. If he puts another teenager in the stocks this week we'll know there's definitely a pattern they're really looking for. That means we make sure they can't get a hole of you specifically. That means we figure out a way to keep the stocks safer from Bandits. Hal told me that it's kind of impossible, but we can try anyway.
