Persona 4 RP Story/Dungeon

"Mother, Father I'm back," Reika said as she entered her house."

"Reika are you okay?" Her mother stood and ran to her.

"I am fine," She smiled but looked at her father who was still sitting looking at the table.

"I'm sorry I wasn't much help to you Reika." Her father said looking up.

"Oh no its not your fault some random person shot me while I was in a restraunt," Reika said worried about her father's mental state.

Her father stood and gave her a hug, "I am sorry for how I have been for the last couple months."

Reika just stood there and enjoyed the hug from her father, he hadn't given her one in such a long time, "No it's okay."

Reika's mother entered the room from the kitchen, "Food is ready,"

Reika went over the table and sat down with her father happy to be home.

Rai stumbled into his house, his headahce had worsened, "What is this," He rubbed his head trying to make the pain fade, leaning against a wall he worked his way to his phone, "One message huh," he pressed the play button, "Rai-kun, your father and I are coming home in a couple days we have some time off so we will be home soon." he sighed, listening to his mother's voice, "A few days huh," he stumbled up the stairs to his room, "I need to rest", as soon as he reached his bed the pain flared, "Damnit," he passed out.

Masuyo had exited the convenient store with a 12 pack of canned green tea as he was humming random music to himself. He was then overcome with a chill.

"What the hell........" he said outloud to himself. He then shut his eyes when he got a quick flare of pain in his side that still wasn't naturally recovered and saw a quick sight of Yomiko being led around by a man in the TV world, but the man was just a silhouette hidden by the fog. "No fucking way! Why did I just randomly see something like that? But still............." he said as he quickly called Yomiko's cell to instantly be sent to voicemail. "Shit! Our phones dont have service in that place! No calm down, its just a coincidence." he said as he dashed back to the apartments to see if she was home yet

"Here." Stefan said as they entered the garbage dump where his shadow arose. "This is where I got my persona."

"Persona?" Yomiko asked Stefan confused, yet intruiged.

"It's like a manifestation of your real self. No doubt you have something you want to keep hidden from other people, or from yourself. It's like....your true self. Not the self you project to other people. At first it's a shadow, but when you come to accept it as part of you, then it becomes a persona, and it's an ally. I don't really fully understand it myself....."

"But shadows are apparently bad?" Yomiko said feeling a chill run down her spine. "O-okay, thats enough, I want to get out of here. NOW"

Rai opened his eyes, he was in the blue room again, Igor the man and Margaret the woman looking at him.

"Welcome, do not be alarmed you are asleep in the real world." Igor said his hands shifting.

"What's going on," Rai said looking around.

"I am merely checking on your progress, how has your investigation into this situation been going." Igor said smiling like he seemed to do most of the time.

"Okay, I guess, I lost a friend, we gained an ally but we really don't know whats going on." Rai said feeling a slight pang of guilt.

"Well, you must keep moving foward if you are to discover the fate of your friends and the entire town," Igor smiled, "We will meet again."

Rai sprung awake in cold sweat, "What the hell," the headache gone he went over what just happened, "I should mention this to the guys." he thought as he stood and went to shower quickly turning his phone on loud so he could hear it if needed.

"Not yet...." Stefan said. "There's something I came in here to get. And I don't think our friend is gonna let us out, right?" Out of one of the garbage heaps, came the small critter that had run away from Masuyo and the rest of the group. The 3rd guardian.

"H-HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" Yomiko shouted as she saw something moving around that didnt seem human. She then hid behind Stefan.

"That would be a shadow." Stefan took a few steps toward it. "And this....would be a Persona. Ippon - Datara!!!" Stefan's persona manifested itself, and used a mudo spell on the critter. It was unaffected. "Crap! That didn't work!"

"What in the world..............." Yomiko said watching Stefan fight the shadow. "Is this what you all have been doing this whole time!? this is why Masuyo keeps coming back all beaten up so often"

"Yeah. People get thrown in here. And we save them. That's how I got to know all of you. But this isn't the time for explanations! OooF!!" The shadow ignited fire on Stefan, scorching him a bit. "Damn. That was strong." He summoned his persona again, this time it bashed the critter, it gave out a shriek.

"HEY! IS YOMI HOME!?!?!?!?!"" Masuyo asked as he nearly ran through the front door of the apartment's lobby.

"Ah, Masu-chan. No she left a few hours ago. I've tried calling her but her phone seems to be off. Maybe shes in a movie with a handsome young man~" teased Yomiko's aunt.

"sfjljsdoiweufoiasd" Masuyo grumbled nearly vomiting at the sheer thought of Yomiko holding hands with Stefan and kissing.

"What?"

"Uh, nothing. I'll be back!" he said as she ran back outside.

The critter opened it's eyes and looked at Yomiko. Darkness started to cover her.
"Shit! Lookout!" Stefan ran, pushed her out of the way and took the mudo for her. "Rrrgh!!!" What's going on? ...I used that same attack on Shinta that first time and it nearly killed him. Why isn't it doing the same to me? ...Am I resistant to it?

"What is going on," Rai said as he got out of the shower, "I keep getting this feeling in my gut something bad is going to happen." he thought for a moment, "Igor appearing made me more worried" he checked his phone, no messages. He picked his spear up from its hiding place, swinging it around a bit, "I still have my movement but I am a bit sluggish, maybe I should use a different type of pole weapon, I keep trying to slash with a spear." he stepped outside making sure his phone would ring if he was contacted, "Maybe I should talk to Daidara." he started to walk towards the market area.

"Kyah!" Yomiko shouted as she was shoved out of the attack. "Whats wrong!? Cant you beat it?" she shouted

"Yeah. I can. Don't worry." Stefan stood up straight, a little shaky, but he stared the shadow down, it then growled. "....GRAAAAAARRRR!!!!!" Stefan screamed bloody murder, ran up to the shadow and kicked it under it's chin, knocking the shadow down. "TAKE THIS!!! RAMPAGE!" His persona manifested itself, and hit the shadow multiple times. It shrieked and dissipated. "HA!"

"That may be for the best," Rai turned and saw Shinta leaning next to the steps of his house, "I apologize for my silence earlier, I was lost in thought."

"Really know how to scare a guy," Rai said thinking about Igor contacting him, "So yeah, have you felt a little weird recently, like in the last hour or so, headaches?"

Shinta answered, "Depends, do you know the cause of them?"

"I don't know for me it started at Junes," Rai explained while walking, "Then as I got closer to home it became unbearable, I passed out then the man I mentioned before contacted me." he paused waiting for Shinta's reaction.

"Interesting, and how do you feel now?" Shinta asked.

"Headache is gone but now I have a sense of forboding, like something really bad is happening or going to happen." Rai said looking at Shinta while he walked.

Shinta replied, "In case you haven't noticed, something bad is happening."
