Ebisu looked at Insei hopefully.<br/><br/>"Absolutely not," Insei said, totally immune to their persuasion. He looked square at Ebisu, "And no portaling yourself away either. I'll have the monitors on so I'll know."<br/><br/>Ebisu slouched, "Darn it I hate those things."<br/><br/>"If you hate them so much why did you build them?" Insei asked in a slightly irritated voice.<br/><br/>Ebisu was slouched to the side, anime tears streaming down his face. "I just really like machines," he said.<br/><br/>"You're hopeless," Insei said, putting a hand to his forehead.<br/><br/>Ebisu smiled and tilted his head to the side, "Yeah, kinda." He looked at Silver, "I'll lend you my camera, so I want you to take plenty of pictures for me okay?" He looked at everyone, "And make sure you all have a great time. Just in case you do pass those maintenance tests."<br/><br/>"You shouldn't have to study for them either," said Insei, putting on a more serious atmosphere as usual. "I garentee they won't be quite what you expect. At least not all of it."<br/><br/>Ebisu put his arm around Insei's shoulder and looked out at everyone, smiling. "Seriously though, I need you guys to have fun equal to the suffering I'll have on another all-nighter with this stick-in-the-mud." He gave a big smile, "I give you full permission to break some stuff. We can always fix it later."<br/><br/>Insei rubbed his eyes and pushed Ebisu off him. "Disregard that. Try to keep the damage to a minimum." Ebisu made 'don't listen to him' signs from behind his back and Mai and Reina couldn't help but laugh out loud.<br/><br/>Insei let out a little groan, "I can see you."<br/><br/>Ebisu stopped quickly and rubbed the back of his head with his hand. "Right. 360 degree vision. You're such a spoil sport."<br/><br/>Mai, Reina, and Ari laughed again. Insei not being amused by the situation almost made it more funny.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ebisu is nothing what I expected him to be,</span>thought Mai.<span style="font-style: italic">For someone leading rebel forces to save the world, he's more carefree and normal then a lot of people I've met. I guess maybe he himself is an image of what he wants the future to be. That we could all laugh again...</span>
