JP smiles to the maitre d'. "Yes I was considering it, but I want to see if the competition is worth my time first."
With a glow of confidence that only a Scion can display, JP strolls towards the gaming table. He stands in clear sight of the mouser and quietly watches the game continue, looking for an opportunity to catch the mouser's eye.

"Of course, sir," the maitre d' says motioning gracefully for the Scions to enter. "The bar can see to getting you a drink."
The bodyguards exchange looks and one leans in to the man. "Are you sure, the boss said he wanted to room clear tonight..."
He's silenced by a look from the maitre d' who waves sharply for him to return to the door. "If you please," he continues smoothly. Eric and John head for the bar immediately, ignoring the exchange entirely just as the players at the table barely glance at the newcomers.
Or do they? Wits + Empathy to read the room.

Juan Ibarra turns to glance back at his passengers before smoothly circling away from the city. "Your tour, amigos!" he says brightly and heads out to the north, crossing over more hard-packed land before some dunes come into view. Long-dry river beds criss-cross it like dark spiderwebs.
"Headed up to Moapa Valley," Ibarra is saying over the headphones. "Nice little reserve off the highway. I recommend it from the ground if you've got a car. Let me know if you want to get closer to anything too, I have a knack for finding what folks really want to see!"
Whether by coincidence or divine purpose, it is at this moment that Penthos spies a field that looks like the one from the photos.
Perception + Awareness can help you get a better idea of where to go.

Perception (5|1) + Awareness (1) = 3 success + 1 auto ==> 4 successes The view from the helicopter was great, and the sight of the barren lands below was a reminder that for all his power, there were still many many hazardous places for mankind. What I really want to see, eh ?

Penthos peers out the window, looking for familiar shapes from the photos and all of a sudden the dunes align to create letters. "Έλα" is there suddenly, spread across the landscape like the work of a giant calligrapher. Then it's gone, but the word was there amongst the riverbeds to the east. stretching north and west towards the low hills that the helicopter is skirting.
---------------------------
Ever perceptive, JP can tell the room is mostly concentrated on the game but that his entrance has been noted. Of the six players around the table, there is a Japanese businessman, two older white men, a Latina woman dressed very casually, a young man with dark hair and a goatee, and an dark-featured Indian man who looks more like a rock star than a gambler. The Scion of Damballa sees all of them glance his way at least once as he makes his way over to the bar, except for the Indian rock star who keeps his eyes on either his cards or the beautiful woman sitting next to him.
"Think that's our man?" Eric asks as they cross the room, "Ali G over there?"
"Thought he was Indian," John muses, then catches himself. "Oh... Well... Right. The other kind."

The sight of the words written in gigantic natural features struck the Greek Scion as an incredible display of power. It would have frightened him to perceive so clearly the strings that moved his kind, had he not already met his father, Zeus-Crowned-In-Lightning in person. From then on, nothing had been impossible. Such were the rules of the game he was playing, and the stakes were as high as the actors were famous.
"This river looks great" he said to Juan Ibarra over the mike, "what's its name, please ?" did he ask, pointing to the riverbed for Keiko's benefit.
Meanwhile, he tried to memorize enough features to be able to come back from the ground, because he would have to.

JP nods to Eric and John. "Yes. Let us see where 'dis does go." He then heads over to the gambling table and motions for the maitre'd to bring him a drink. "A nice scotch s'il vous plait". As he approaches the table, he begins to hum loudly a song from the production they watched the night before, hoping it will attract the figure's attention.

Keiko nods and holds her phone up to take video in the direction Penthos indicated, before turning her attention back out her window and videoing a bit more of the desert. After a few moments she pulls up Google Maps and gets their current GPS co-ordinates and marks the map spot with a pin.
