Reina put her hand on her hip and smiled sadly as Blue walked away.<span style="font-style: italic">My mutations force my life into a never ending kill or be killed scenario. I had the option years ago to die or become a murderer and I chose the latter. We'll see each other again Blue, I hope it's under circumstances as good as these.</span><br/><br/>A few moments later Reina heard Lestat start screaming and broke out into laughter. "I guess I'd better go wake up Mai too." She made her way up the stairs and into Mai's room. He was sound asleep, tucked into his blankets. "Wake up Mai!" She called and tore his blankets away. Mai just rolled over as if nothing had happened.<br/><br/>"Tch, he's an even heavier sleeper now that he's got his magic back," Reina said to herself. "Let's try this again," Reina grabbed Mai's arm and shouted to him. "Wake up!" Reina threw him on the floor and Mai jolted awake.<br/><br/>Mai rubbed his shoulder where he'd landed on it. "You're getting aggressive way faster than usual," he said. "Did Lestat hurt you when you were sparing or something?"<br/><br/>Reina shrugged, "Something like that. Oh and by the way," she said, looking down at him with a smirk, "While we're gone, Blue's in charge."<br/><br/>"Maybe I'll wake up with less bruises," Mai joked.<br/><br/>Reina went back down stairs and Mai began to get dressed.<br/><br/>------------------------------<br/><br/>Ebisu's alarm went off, causing him to start awake. He hit the snooze button and reached for his glasses and contacts, putting them on and pulling himself out of bed. Ebisu portaled himself to the main research room to find Insei wide awake surrounded by paperwork.<br/><br/>"You work too hard," Ebisu said.<br/><br/>"You don't work hard enough," Insei retorted. "All the paper work you skip out on I end up having to do. Someone has to keep this place running."<br/><br/>Ebisu rubbed the back of his head, "I guess you're right."<br/><br/>"I've finished all the arrangements for the maintenance tests," Insei said. "We'll have Lestat and Reina take them as soon as possible."<br/><br/>Ebisu sat down at his desk, "At least give them some time to wake up first." Ebisu took a sip of coffee and leaned back in his chair. "While you're supervising the maintenance tests I'll have a chat with Mai and Maryann. If either of them could shed any light on the situation that'd be great."
