There came a day when there were two mortals, one beloved by Dyonisus and another by Hermes, who fell in love.
They decided that, when they were wed, they wanted to both be united in worship of the same deity. However, they could not find a fair way to decide which.
So, on their wedding day, they communed with their gods. They did this by consuming a quite astonishing amount of mind-altering substances.
(This went largely unremarked upon by the guests of their tastefully rustic ceremony, as they did so during the photos. Thus, everyone was busy with Instagram and/or fistfighting that one uncle who had really had it coming.)
Being quite thoroughly stoned - to the degree that they were not only *out* of their gourds but that if you asked the gourds about them then the gourds would have denied them three times - their consciousnesses drifted up into the firmament to walk upon Olympus.
Hermes and Dyonisus agreed that they would settle this in a game of poker.
The couple nodded and smiled beatifically, happy to be valued so highly as to be chips in a cosmic game (also, snacks were provided, which was a real win).
The two deities locked eyes over the poker table, their two drugged up devotees between them.
"Well, I think we can agree on one thing." Said Hermes, stuffing cards up his sleeves.
"Oh yes." replied Dionysus, as he spiked Hermes' ambrosia.
"The stakes have never been higher."

The first time he saw a sponsors' billboard at a music festival, Dionysus threw up on the ground.
He stood there for a moment, transfixed by the swirls of bile and wine and other glittering substances that fizzed and smoked against the earth.
He stared at the augury spelled out by his godly fluids and his eyes were wide as shotguns.
"D?" One of his followers had noticed that this was more than the usual moment of revery that followed revelry. She looked at his eyes. She gasped.
His followers had seen him horrified on many occasions. There were times, after all, when he had seen something awful and needed to be cradled to sleep like a child. Often, they were awful things that he had *done*. They had come to learn that his rages were just as beautiful as his sorrows - these were the times he was his most alien and his most vulnerable.
But this was the first time they had seen him *scared*.
"D, are you ok? Do you ... do you need a drink?" His expression was like a warning sign in a foreign language. "Do you want me to hold you?"
"What is this doing in my temple?" They had never heard his voice so level, so drained of music.
"That? It's just a beer company, D. They pay the festival to put the branding up..."
"Oh, it's not a brand, dearest." D clicked his finger and this particular follower - he thought her name was April, or maybe May or September, a month of some kind at least - fell to the ground, her body spasming in what could have been pain or pleasure but was most definitely ecstacy. "It's a *muzzle*."
Then Dionysus walked away into the forest, never once looking back at the revellers he left behind.
The press speculated on his disappearance, but never found anything concrete to say, just endless waves of speculation. Most of his followers moved on to worship other gods or celebrities, following the party scene.
Tuesday - the girl who had noticed D's fear and whose name he had very nearly remembered - left the scene entirely and became a computer programmer. Many of her employers have commented, over the years, on the vines that occasionally grow out of the servers wherever she works. But they always stopped asking questions when she fixed her eyes on them with that whipcrack of drunken intensity.
When asked what had happened to D, she would only say "he's coming back".
When the 8acchae announced their presence by streaming a live concert from a prominent bank's website, most dismissed them as just another Anonymous knock-off.
But some people recognised the name, or noticed the vines that decorated the ivory of their theatrical masks, or recognised the drunken stare of their shotgun-dilated eyes. And they began to stock up on tinned goods, for they knew the wild time that was coming...

I’m sorry but Mr D. telling Percy “yeah I’m totally your dad now can you circumvent my curse and get me that wine” is the best addition to the series that they possibly could’ve made.

It's that magical time of the year when you find out everyone is susceptible to misinformation if it confirms their pre-existing biases.
Y'know, Christmas.
Edit: I know I start by saying I like this creator, but... uh... I found out some stuff that's not great, so maybe Imma roll that statement back a bit.
