He hadn't been here long, in fact his journey had been delayed considerably. Once more surviving an unfortunate fate,
the man would find himself back in the thick of things and would find him once more in a mask. Originally meant to be a competitor in the events currently unfolding, it was a slight relief that he was not on the grand stage. Would the accolades have been nice? Of course, but he couldn't deny who he was; a person more comfortable with a mask than the limelight.

Raising his hand he would politely get the attention of the waitress that was patrolling the tables. The permanently smiling face of the masked Ebisu would tap his empty cup as the waitress would bow at understanding the non-verbal request. Ebisu would start to rummage through his coat pocket as he eyes would scan outwards.

"Well, if I can't be here for the fight, might as well be here for the work..."

This country had something hidden within it. Their representative, Number 10 of The Sovereign, was something completely different from the rest of the Ancient hybrids they were creating back in Sora. Instead, she was entirely raised within this country and seemed to know an awful lot about The Orders. All of it bugged him, but this tournament gave him the perfect cover to scratch that itch. The fact he was wearing a mask out and about in public, while still extremely odd, was not all that out of place given the current event unfolding. He wasn't the only person in a mask, nor was it a wild concept for shinobi to wear such an item. He was going to take advantage of this hiding in plain sight for as long as he could.

The waitress would return, filling his cup with more tea, as he would finally withdraw a cigarette from within his coat. It was time for just a little relaxing before he went snooping about. Taking the first drag of the tobacco stick, only one thought came to his mind:

Shit... I hope this isn't just as big of a headache as that exam back in Soons...or the Cabal... or the fight with Shouki... or just trying to travel here... hell, who am I kidding; this is gonna be a big headache.

Vacations were overrated.
