Persona 4 RP Phase 2

"I see," Shinta said stroking his chin, So that's why we're needed, then. "Don't worry about it. I don't mind a little walk."

"...It's also not handicap accessible." He said, looking back at Rodrigo. "...And there's no show if we don't have everyone. May I ask that you three help our ailing friend down the stairs?" Toshiyuki looked to Masuyo, Shinta, and Stefan, then quickly turned to walk down the stairs.

"...What's so important that it gets him outta helping..?" Stefan frowned.

"Good luck boys." Dahni remarked, quickly following after Toshiyuki, leaving Shinta, Masuyo, Rodrigo and Stefan at the top of the stairs.

"Alright. Cant really hate this dude for being a cripple." Masuyo said grabbing his left wheel on the wheelchair. "Ready?"

Shinta grabbed the back of the chair, "Yeah, ready."

"One two!" Masuyo said as he lifted Rodrigo with the other two. "Welp lets get movin." he said as he began to walk forward

"..." Maeko followed quietly behind the group, keeping to herself, a serious expression on her face, she kept her eyes on Stefan and Toshiuyki. She followed behind Dahni and the others down the stairs.

"Hey...Maeko, you okay?" Dahni asked, as the climbed down the stairs.

"Geeze Rod, you're heavy, even with two other people." Stefan complained, trying not to fall down the steps.

"I assure you," He coughed. "The weight is in the chair, not me. Not at this point."

Maeko kepy her sight on the groung infront of her as she walked down the stairs. "I'm in the same general vicinity of two people whom I hate dearly with all my heart, imagine how I'm feeling." Maeko responded, trying not to direct her frustration towards Dahni.

"O-oh..." Dahni sulked for a minute. "..Well, at the same time, you're with far more people that you trust with your life, right? So...maybe that can help a little?" She smiled at her.

Maeko turned to Dahni, "..Perhaps, but until those two are either dead or out of my life, it will be hard to remain positive about anything." she replied, calming down.

"Just imagine crushing their skulls. Makes me feel better all the time when someone irritates me." Yomikp said with a wink

"Hm." Maeko smiled faintly, "Trust me, it's what I've been doing up til now.."

"And you were worried that you wouldn't fit in." joked Shinta as he, Masuyo and Stefan carried Rodrigo.

"How much further?" asked Karin.

"Well its nice to know that theres two murder hungry women in this group." Masuyo said with a laugh. "Though i'd be lying if I didnt say that i had dreams of wrecking Stefan and Toshiyuki. Though of course I could like, fucking fly and shoot lasers outta my eyes and just my breathing would cause explosions and my coughs could level buildings n shit."

"You REALLY have too vivid of an imagination." Yomiko said looking at Masuyo with a disturbed look.

"I kinda wanna see that..........." Tsubasa said. she noticed the awkward stares she was getting. "I mean the explosions and lasers! Not Stefan getting destroyed!" she said red in the face.

"Well, nice to know that there's someone who doesn't just outright want to murder me." Stefan sighed.

"Get over it." Toshiyuki commented. "And here we are." Toshiyuki opened a door to an obsidian colored room, a blue hue lighting it, with 5 platforms inside, four near to them, and one on the opposite side of the room.

"...Geeze. Couldn't you design this place with more lights?" Dahni complained.

"At least there's no coffins though." Rodrigo wheezed as the three of them put him down. "Thanks."

"Don't mention it," replied Shinta, "I take it those platforms are for you guys?"

"And that last one is..." Karin swallowed nervously, leaving her sentence unfinished.

"Hm.." Maeko took a step or two back, examining the room before turning her attention to the panels. "So why exactly do we need to be here again...?"

"To lift a cripple down a flight of stairs." Masuyo said with a grin on his face

"To be honest, this area has become somewhat unstable." Toshiyuki began. "Shadows have begun to grow more rampart here. Nothing we couldn't handle, but your group will act as extra insurance."

"And if anything goes wrong." Rodrigo added. "Let's be frank here. The potential for things to go wrong is small, but should they go wrong."

"Things will go badly." Amy finally spoke up, folding her arms in front of her chest.

"Things won't go badly. We have people to cover for any potential shadows, Mikako doesn't know where this is, nor is in a fit condition to do anything about it." Stefan commented.

"Rather than sit around talking about what could go wrong, let's get on with it before something COULD go wrong." Dahni complained, glaring at them.

"Well said. Places." Toshiyuki stepped onto the alter, Amy taking her spot, Stefan wheeling Rodrigo onto his before taking his own place. "Now, before we begin, any last questions, comments, or concerns?"

"Just get ready for a fight" masuyo said. "We dunno if this reaper will bring any friends with him or not"

"....Toshiyuki!!" Maeko called out, stepping forward. Her harpoon gripped tightly in her hands. She kept her sight on Toshiyuki as she approached him slightly, determination in her eyes.

"Well.....that could look like a concern." Yomiko said.

"H-hey!" Nene said shakily as she stepped infront of Maeko. "Is now really the time to do this?" She said nervously as her legs shook

"...Hm?" He faced her. "...My my. Something wrong?"

"M-Maeko.." Dahni began to approach her with an outstretched arm.

"Maeko? What're you doing?" asked Karin running towards her.

"Sorry, this is something I have to do." Maeko replied as nice as she could as she gently pushed Nene aside and turning to Dahni, Karin and the others.

"Dont get sly with me, you know exactly what's wrong." Maeko replied to Toshiyuki, turning towards him.
