Persona 4 RP Phase 2

Maeko stood up and stretched, feeling refreshed. She held up her line, hooked with a large fish. She smiled, "Heh, it's just like it was the day I received it..". She looked at her harpoon in her other hand, it also have a large fish, skewered through the blade. "Not too bad either." She smiled and laughed to herself. With I had my ice bucket though...Coulda caught more. She picked up her stuff and started heading into town.

The group finished their lunch finally. They were all walking down the shopping district together. The time was about 4:30 pm

".......I wanna play Idolgenius." Masuyo stated.

"You mean that game where you raise idols? Where'd that come from?" Yomiko asked.

"I dunno. I just wanna." he said

Maeko was walking through town, now holding a small bag of yen instead of fish. Maeko was walking with a smile on her face. She spotted Masuyo and the others and approached them.

"It is pretty fun," Shinta chimed in, "So who was your unit?"

Karin raised an eyebrow, "...You too, huh?"

Shinta shrugged, "What can I say?"

"Hibi, Tane and Mikiri." Masuyo replied. "Though Tane seems to have it out for me. She always has an attitude in the mornings....." he began to complain.

"I know what you mean. Chiya's the same way for me," Shinta sighed, "Mako and Yuki seem to like me well enough but..."

"Well i found out it was because Mikiri and Hibi were singling Tane out. Bitches. Just like real women." Masuyo said clenching his fist. "Tane is such a sweet girl too!"

"You're starting to sound like one of those angry otaku who don't like real girls." Yomiko said sighing.

"Hey I can dabble in both worlds if I want!" Masuyo shouted.

"Ehhhhh? Idolgenius? I have that too." Rise said approaching the group alongside Yosuke and Kanji.

"Really!?" Masuyo shouted.

"Well it was more out of curiosity of how accurate an Idol game could be." she said grinning.

"..........show me your Idols." Masuyo demanded.

"Eh? Sure.......after lunch?" she asked.

"We just ate!" Nene shouted. "You live basically next door to Aiya right? Lets just get carryout!"


............I hope she uses Yuki in her unit............ Tsubasa thought to herself

"....I should probably get outta here." Stefan finally sat up after a few hours of staring at the sky. He climbed down the pipe. "..This sucks..."

"Why hello there, 'TV man.'" A mysterious voice said from behind him.

"Whose there?!" He turned. "H-huh?" No one was around. "...My imagination..?"

"Certainly not. Just, hidden in the shadows. ...If you were to listen, I have a proposal for you..." The voice said.

"...Who are you?"

"Hey Maeko. You need anything before we go?" Yomiko turned and said to Maeko who she saw approaching the group.

"Yeah......Im pretty sure Idols isnt something that would interest her." Masuyo said imagining her irritated face at the overly cutesy game they planned to play. "Whats up?"

"Er....No." Maeko said as nicely as she could. "I just got paid for a catch.", Maeko said putting the small bag of yen away. "I'm done for the day, I was on my way back."

"Ah okay." Yomiko said.

"I'll go with you. Im kinda tired." Nene said yawning.

"Well then we'll see you later then." Masuyo said as he headed off with the others.

"You desire power yes?" The voice asked.

"...It never ends well when someone asks that."

"Someone will be thrown into the TV soon."

"What?! Who the hell are you?! Are you the one behind this?!" Stefan charged for the source of the voice.

"Hahaha. Please. No need to be rash. I'm not even here. Like you, I too have a persona. I am...a sensor type. I'm nowhere near you."

"Tch. You bastard."

"Like I said, if you desire power, you will listen. Soon someone will be thrown into the TV. You and your friends will rescue them. You wish to have power to protect them, no?"

"...I'm not so stupid as to listen to what you have to say. You know something about the TV world, and you're not with us. You're a danger."

"I am. Yet so are you. We are similar, you and I. The two of us are...outsiders. Of the two groups fighting, you and I...we don't really belong in this scheme. I will do my part regardless. Out of the two groups I wish for yours to come out on top. But...what if there was a third player? That's what you and I could be, Stefan."

"..You know my name?"

"I know a lot of things about you. I am a sensor after all. And you are a fighter. One with much potential. Each side of this battle fears you. This is why you are outsourced. How about this? You and I can meet face to face...."

"How do I know this isn't an ambush?"

"You can pick the meeting place. Someplace you're familiar with. Bring your axe. But come alone. I shall do the same, but unarmed. All I ask, is for one thing."

"What's that?"

"When you go and rescue the next victim. Observe. Keep a keen eye out for the strategies, tactics, and abilities your teammates have."

"So you can exploit their weaknesses?" Stefan snarled.

"So I can exploit their strengths. I told you before, I want your friends to come out on top in this struggle."

".....I'll come with the information when we meet. But I want info on you first."

"When we meet, we will share our information. Mr. TV man."

"Mm." Maeko nodded as Masuyo and the others walked off. "...Let's go, it's starting to get dark." Maeko said to Nene as she began hastily walking off. Still slightly traumatized from when she was on her way home at dark, the night she was kidnapped.

"Ah.......alright." Nene said noticing Maeko's uneasiness.



"You know I really thought you'd use Io." Masuyo said looking at Rise's file on her PS3

"What? I cant stand her voice. I dont know why. It just annoys me." she said rolling her eyes.

"Holy shit how did you get your stats so goddamn high?! AND HOW DID YOU UNLOCK THIS SWIMSUIT I JUST HAVE THE TASTEFUL SWIMSUITS!!!!!!!" Masuyo shouted.

"Oh, you just have to sell 700 thousand albums within 15 weeks. Pretty easy actually." Rise said laughing.

"You're one to talk........" Masuyo groaned. "I can barely push 1 hundred thousand. "YOU HAVE IDOL EXPERIENCE!"

"Im glad you use Yuki........" Tsubasa stated. "I was afraid nobody liked timid girls."

"Hey what are you talking about? Timid girls are the best!" Kentaro says scooting up close to Tsubasa and trying to put his arm around her casually.

"That sounds so suspect." Yomiko said glaring at Kentaro.

"Ah.......ah....uhm......." Tsubasa stuttered while red in the face. She flinched when she felt kentaro's arm touch her but didn't completely run away from him.

"Thats right! Most women now days are loud, outspoken, demanding and bitch you out the first mistake you make!" Masuyo stated.

"Hmmmmmmmm?" Rise said raising an eyebrow.

"Is that so?" Yomiko said.

"You see, just like this. Im about to get beaten, proving myself to be correct." Masuyo said looking at Tsubasa and Kentaro.

Yomiko silently moved her hands away from strangling Masuyo. Dammit, he's smarter than I give him credit for!

"...This late already, huh?" Stefan said, looking at the sunset. "...What a bad day...Can't get much worse, save getting hit by a bus...." He sighed. "Heh...Maybe it would be an improvement. Ugh..." He meandered back to the shrine and flopped down.

"Yip."

"Not now...." Stefan covered himself in his robes and tried to force himself to sleep.

Dahni sighed across town, doodling on the page opposite her homework. "I can't concentrate....I almost beat the high score on that game...It was soooooo good!" She threw herself back, her hair hanging off the back of her chair. "Hmmm...."

"Er...Hmph." Maeko fidgeted and mumbled. Maeko wanted to be friendly, but she knew it was pointless to start conversation, she didn't like talking.

Later on Maeko and Nene made it back to the apartment complex. Maeko looked around cautiously before heading inside, holding the door open for Nene.

"Thanks." Nene said with a warm smile. "So....its only six. You wanna do something?" she asked Maeko



"I.....see........" Tsubasa said blushing. "Ehehe. Thanks."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you're so cute!" Masuyo squealed.

"Is he always........" Rise asked looking at Yomiko

"Yeah......yeah. You get use to it." Yomiko said shaking her head

"What do you mean?" Maeko replied sharply, walking towards her room.

"I dont know. Theres at least 4 or 5 hours will we should be heading to bed. Why spend the day alone?" she said tilting her head making a confused face

Maeko turned away and closed her eyes. "..I'm used to it by now." Maeko replied, putting her fishing gear away. She pulled out a book and layed on her bed.

"Oh......okay then." Nene said. "I have homework to do anyways ehehe." she said scratching her head as she went back to her own room.

Kentaro puts his arm around Tsubasa and waits for the impending beatdown but to his surprise it doesn't come. Perturbed he falls silent and just sits there painfully aware of her next to him his thoughts racing.

oh shit shit what do I do next? She's so soft... and warm oh shit where's the pain? say something kentaro say something!!!

"Uhh... er... uhh...So Tsubasa what do say you and I go discuss the merits of timid girls somewhere private?" he manages to stammer.
