@Atroposer@Polaris NorthSimon popped the cork on the vile and drank it while absentmindedly flipping to the proper ritual. In the game, the ritual minigame only took a few seconds. About halfway through he realized that the guy up ahead was holding a sign with Tes's name on it, but he'd already sacrificed the $20, so he finished it and sat down beside a pillar that supported an overhang. A few seconds later the spell kicked in and everything took on a bluish, foggy haze as he saw two boys drawing some kind of symbol on firecrackers and throwing them at each other. A woman's voice started yelling at them, but as she spoke Greek he was only able to catch a name. He floated away, accelerating towards his body far away while he flew over a forty-something farmer, returning to his body about a second later.

He opened his eyes and stood up, a bit weak from the experience. Leaving your body tended to have that effect, he'd learned. He walked over to the boy holding the sign and held out his hand. "Simon Hutchins" he said, taking the man's hand without asking permission. "Maybe you've heard of the game I made called "Mage Wars"? I'm here to research more spells for my game. Which brings me to an unusual question. Do you know anyone named Achilles Ambrosia? He looked to be in his late teens, and I think his family are witches too."

Tes asked about the music and he looked over to a street performer he had somehow missed. "Yeah." he said. "I think that might be the girl you're looking for."

"Well," said Simon. "I can rent a car if we need one. I guess I could track them, too, but 'Sacrifice of the Damn' seems to be drawn to magic, so if anyone's casted recently, I'll be drawn to them, not the one I want. If you want me to try, though, I'm sure someone in the area sells Pomegranate juice. We could check the shops in the airport. If you have their numbers, though, it'd probably be best to call them."

@AtroposerYeah, she could know him as the creator of a popular game. In that case, he could unlock her version of the game so she can use the rituals, or teach her the rituals IRL.
He'll also recognize her from Broadway. I'm assuming she'd be in first class? Maybe they sat next to each other on the plane.

Also, was it one of the Fates that came to her in the hospital or Hera? The description sounds like Hera, plus, I could see her helping you get back at a rapist.

@Joshua Tamashii'But none are as handsome. It's nice to have some male company occasionally.' She moved slightly towards him, leaning forward slightly with a smile on her face. Maybe a bit of seduction could get her a companion for this quest. The fact that it was an attractive elf man was just the icing on the sweetroll, as they say. 'As for a name, I guess 2-1-9-F is the closest I have to a "real" name.' Laughter showed him her right forearm with the slave rules on it. 'I was the two hundred and nineteenth slave born of may master's slaves, daughter of 152M and 175F. Does that answer your question?'

@AtroposerI was already thinking I'd have to tell him "you know, people will hate you if you're even accused of rape again, right?"

@AtroposerGood. I'd rather my character not get his liver eaten while chained to a rock if it can be helped.
