Persona 4 RP Story/Dungeon

"And as I recall you were no help," Shinta glared back, "You just said a guy kicked your ass and you ended up on the other side. Meanwhile the only other victims were Kishin who gave us nothing, Fujioka who was pulled into a wall and Asakura who unless you're doing it, was completely unrelated."

"Well, what about known murder cases? Do we know anything about this guy's sucesses?" Stefan asked.

Shinta took another sip, "...He shot Kishin. Maybe. We're not even sure if this is the same guy."

"How do we even know this guy is a murderer then? Something's weird about this whole deal."

"How the fuck do we know if its a PERSON." Masuyo asked. "Aparently Reika was randomly pulled into a wall and it was meant to happen, which meant whatever got her was intending to get her. Ugh. This is fucking stupid." he said scratching his head.

"Well, I was attacked by a person....." Stefan thought for a minute. "Think the person could control shadows? Like we do with our personas?"

"How do you know it was a person. We've fought shadows with humanoid forms." Masuyo said sipping his tea.

"That's why this is so infuriating," Shinta sighed, "this is getting us nowhere fast."

"Well, the only thing we can do is keep looking and keep saving. Eventually this guy is gonna come to us, right?" Stefan said. "No need to get worked up over it. Isn't this the reason we took this vacation? To relax? Besides, the police are at least looking. This guy still has to be careful."

Masuyo grabbed his head in utter irritation. I swear to god if he thinks the police will do anything then............

"I dont think its a person. I remember Masuyo telling me about a guy who shot Reika, and a guy who shot another one of your friends. Its probably the same guy, what are the chances of a bunch of people running around inaba with guns?" Yomiko said.

"If the guy SHOT them, then how is it NOT likely to be a person? Why would a shadow think to use a gun, when it could just kill normal people with one swoop? the only intelligent shadows we've come across are ones created by ourselves. That's the only shadow that has shown us some kind awareness of itself. The rest are mindless. From what we know, there's no way that there's not a human involved somewhere in the process. Even if they had been killed by their shadow, at some point, a human was involved."

"Explain this then," Shinta grew annoyed, "if it is a guy. and by your reasoning because he has a gun, then why didn't he just shoot you? Let's face it, 'Random Bum Found Dead at Shrine' does not make for a good story nor would it blow his cover. Actually a better question is why were you thrown in at all?"

"Yeah seriously. I fell in, Rai went to save me, Kishin was abducted because he was our friend and was always with us, which makes sense. The shadows probably didnt want him gaining any potential to help drive them off. Shinta came in with us to get Kishin and his shadow showed up then, Reika was as clear as day grabbed by shadow hands that shot out of a wall of a back alley, probably because she was obsessed with stalking our group and Rai, then You...............................something?" Masuyo said

"A motive for his killing is completely unknown. He could just be a serial killer, killing anyone that's on their own and alone. He's only shot people that have attained their persona's right? And only people that are involved with the investigation. The initial way of his killing is to throw us into the TV, then when that fails to work, he shoots us. Why does he go for the TV route? Maybe cause it's harder to prove. 'Killed via TV' isn't exactly as traditional as 'shot dead.'"

"Uh, dude. he actually only shot Reika because we went into the store as he was kinda robbing it." Masuyo told Stefan.

"Technically he robbed the store while we were in it." Shinta corrected.

"True. I wasnt even there remember? I was on my way after just meeting Yomi. I ran into the asshole after he shot Reika and he was running off." Masuyo said

"Oh yeah that's right," Shinta shrugged, "talkin' to that cop was sure a handful though."

Karin grimaced, "He was pretty pushy, wasn't he?"

"Hmm...I got nothin really. That's all I could think of. Sounds like the guy who shot Reika is probably completely unrelated. Or an outside influence."

"Well, im gonna put this on hold, to enjoy my vacation." Masuyo said as he stood up and began to leave.

"Im gonna go take a shower, im all sweaty from that fight earlier." Yomiko said as she also took her leave

"Fight?" Stefan inquired.

"Fight." Yomiko plainly replied to stefan

"....Okay. I can dig it." Stefan shrugged. "So what are you up to then Shinta? Karin?"

"Me? I traveled across the city. Got a feel for the place."
