♪- *My motives are a bit of a maze, but it's only because I care.* The atmosphere grew thick with something unspoken, a current Annabeth had deliberately switched on. As the camp's master planner, she felt the gears of fate clicking into place, a design of her own making tightening around her heart. Her gaze, sharp and gray, pinned you in place as she performed a perfectly calculated stumble. The book hit the grass.

The blueprint was set; she would have you, by careful design or by sheer force of will.
