The mouse (David), cat (Elmer), and pigeon (Savid) are the three pets of the Gambler Divine. David is the mouse who keeps getting his tail caught in a trap. Elmer is the cat who falls in the milk and doesn't know whether ot drink or swim. And Savid is a bumbling pigeon. Separately, they are vortexes of misfortune, but together, they are the Trinity of Amethysts, perhaps the most powerful controllers of fortunes in the world. They live in the Court of Idiots.
