Persona 4 RP Story/Dungeon

"Alright. I gotta keep it cool, and hopefully I'll be able to blend in.." Stefan said, cooly walking, with his saxaphone in hand. "No security guys around either. Smooothe sailing from here."

"What are you doing here?"

"ACK!" Stefan turned around to see Kanji Tatsumi, head of Rise's security. "eheheheh! Y-y-you scared me sir! You should know better than to sneak up on an artist!"

"...You're not in the band." Kanji said.

"W-what? But of course I am!" Stefan held up his saxophone. "Why else would I have this?"

"Rise's band doesn't have a saxophone in it."

"....."

"That, and you're grossly overdressed. It's a pop band. Not an orchestra." Kanji folded his arms. "You gotta leave sir."

"Alright alright listen." Stefan held up his hands. "You got me, I'm not a musician, I'm just some guy. But listen, give me 5 minutes to explain my case before you throw me out. If you don't want me here after that, You can lock me up and throw away the key." Stefan looked sincere.

"Well....alright..."

"Okay...First off. KRAAAHHH!!!!" With that Stefan pounced Kanji, tying him up with some nearby rope and duct taping his mouth shut. "Sorry senpai. NO ONE CAN GET IN MY WAY." Stefan dragged Kanji's squirming body into a nearby closet. "Don't worry, I'll be back for you after the concert...If I don't forget." He chanted again, looking for Rise's room now.

"Well, she sounded suspicious but she said alright." Yosuke said hanging up.

"Probably only because you called yourself." Masuyo said. "Anyways we gotta get to her fast."

"Oh, dont worry. She isnt staying here." Yosuke said with a chuckle.

"Huh?" Masuyo said confused.

"Do you know how retardedly dangerous it would be for her to stay in the same hotel that her concert will be held in? All the fans would try busting into her room. She was here earlier because shes in a low key hotel, so it doesn't have a hot springs." he said with a wink and a smile.

"Ahhhhh. That makes sense." Yomiko said.

"With that said let us make haste!" Nene said.

"Yeah, I dont want anything bad happening to Rise-chan......"Tsubasa said concerned.

"Wait wait wait. If Rise isn't here. That means we can cut Steve off before he figures that out right? He should be here somewhere."

"Let's get goin' then." Karin said as she and Shinta followed the others.
Shinta sighed, "It's always something with this group."

"Shes not in her room at the moment. Shes out with one of our other friends." Yosuke said as they ran down the street.

"Is that safe for her to do a few hours before the concert?" Nene asked.

"Its fine, the one shes with looks like a cop and has a gun on her........im sure fans dont wanna get shot." Yosuke said with a laugh.

"Lets just hope nobody gets shot." Yomiko said.

"Wait where EXACTLY are they at?" Masuyo asked.

"Just follow!' Yosuke shouted

Kentaro skates behind the group. "hmm if we rescue Rise from Steve I won't have to sneak these guys backstage. And I really wanted to piss mom off oh well. Hey!" he says calls out skating up to masuyo. "How come you didn't tell me you already knew people in Rise-chans crew? And you still haven't met her yet?"

Shinta said, "It never came up. And honestly we have more important things to deal with."

"If he hurts anyone I swear I'll make him pay," Karin said with a determined look on her face.

"Cause we had some......."Complications" happen among the group when we found out yesterday." Masuyo said with an embarrassed chuckle.

"He got us chased out of the hotel yesterday." Yomiko said plainly.

"Never a boring moment with you all! I might just have to permanently integrate myself among you all!" Nene said energetically

"You should," Karin replied, "it's a lot of fun."

"I'm sure you'd fit right in." Shinta added.

"AHA!" Stefan kicked open the door with Rise's name on it. "FOUND YOU! .....DAMMIT!" Stefan slammed his head against the wall. "...." He ran back to the closet where he had left Kanji. "WHERE IS SHE?!"

"....Mmpgh." Stefan ripped the duct tape off. "Ow!"

"WHERE IS SHE?!"

"Like I'm gonna tell you! Ack!" Stefan grabbed Kanji by the balls. "W-what the hell is wrong with you?!"

"LISTEN GUY. I'VE GOT A MISSION TO COMPLETE. You're either gonna tell me where she is, or I'm gonna pry the information out of you."

"No way!" Kanji reared his head back and slammed it in Stefan's face, sending him flying back, unconcious.

"Hahaha I hear that Ne-chan. This is the most fun I've had in a while."

"This is it!" Yosuke said as he pointed to a cafe. He stuck his head inside to see if she were there. She was sitting off in a corner with a blue haired girl.

"Still nothing?" Rise said

"Unfortunately no." the blue haired girl said.

"Ugh. Then whats the point of this stupid concert?" she said slumping over.

"Did you hear that!?" Masuyo whispered to the group. "She doesnt sound like she wants to do the concert!"

"No way!" Nene whispered loudly.

"One can only wonder why." Yomiko said. "One way to find out." she said as she entered the cafe with Yosuke.

"Oww...." Stefan shook himself awake. "Damn... that hurt..."

"You're up already?!" Kanji yelled. "Hey! Is anybody there?!"

"..." Stefan shut the closet door on Kanji, and stumbled around. "God damn...My head is killing me. He grabbed a nearby bottle of fluid and started drinking it. "Not bad..." He continued walking around, staring at a concert hall. "...What the hell?"

"Who's that?" Someone in the seats said.
"Is he a member of the band?" Another person said.

Stefan found himself face to faces of early arrivals to the concert. "Oh....Hell..." He spun around to head back stage, when the crowd got riled up.

"Oh I got it! It's some pre-show guy Rise came up with to satisfy us early fans!"
"Yeah! That must be it! Rise's so awesome like that!"

"....Ah...." Spotting backstage more security guys, Stefan decided to roll with it. "Yes!" He said into the microphone. "I am Rise's opening act for the night!" He looked at his watch. "The show starts in....half hour? That soon? Er. Yes! That soon! Rise might be a bit delayed! Her security is tied up at the moment, but I...! Uh...." He stared at the bottle of fluid in his hand. "Lotus Juice! Lotus juice....? YES! Lotus Juice is here to entertain you!"

"He seems pretty weird...." One of the female members of the audience said. The crowd began to agree.

"Er...No worries! I, Lotus Juice will perform one of my favorite songs! A song about freedom, peace, and tranquility!" Stefan started to play poorly on the saxophone. The crowd responded negatively.

"Get this loser off the stage!"

"Yeah! We want Rise!"

".....FUCK IT!" Stefan through his saxophone on the ground, denting it. The crowd got quiet. "Er....MASS DESTRUCTION!" Stefan grabbed a nearby guitar and started playing on it, utilizing his guitar lessons as a kid to play a sloppy, but satisfying string of notes.

"Uhm excuse me, Rise-san?" Yomiko said as she walked towards her.

".......what." she said with a haughty tone.

"Rise! Dude! Not cool." Yosuke said. "These guys came to warn you about the manic fan."

"Oh. My bad. I'm just still.......*sigh*" she said as she held her head up by supporting it with her elbow on the table.

"Still nothing Naoto?" Yosuke asked.

"Unfortunately." Naoto said sadly.

"I don't get it, what's wrong?" Masuyo asked.

"A friend of hers can't make it." Yosuke said looking down.

"Awwwww. That would sadden me too if the man I loved couldn't make it." Nene said as she hugged Rise.

"How could you-"

"We're both women here. I can understand your situation." Nene said winking.

".....man you love?" Tsubasa mumbled depressingly.

"Guitar solo!" Stefan said into the mic, to his now captivated audience, getting into it, Stefan played several challenging guitar notes, with increasing vigor.

"Woo!"

"Yeah! Go Lotus Juice!"

Stefan's guitar playing got more and more extravagant, as he tossed his head up and down, his hat miraculously staying on it, swinging his arm in a circle, strumming the strings.

"Uhh....Is he okay?"

Ignoring the crowd, Stefan continued playing till he noticed that only the sounds of his guitar playing filled the room. He stopped and looked at the audience, staring at him, concerned over his sanity and well being. "...Uh....Still workin on that part." With that Stefan went back to the chorus.

"Yo Rise-chan don't worry 'bout it. I'm sure Mr. MC's doin' what he can. He's the quiet reliable type afterall, ain't he?" says Kentaro trying to be reasuring. Suddenly his phone beeps. "Uuuh dudes... I think I found Steve. Pre-concert internet buzz is fillin' up 'bout some fool clamin t' be 'Lotus Juice' openin' for the Rissete concert as we speak. Get this..." he says reading out loud " 'Wearin' a suit... saxaphone... guitar playin' like he's batshit insane' sounds like our boy."

"*sigh* By the way Rise, we came to warn you about that guy. He's doing.......something retarded invovling your concert. But it looks like hes already ruining it." Masuyo said ashamed.

"Wow......uh.......never had a fan so nuts that he's rushed the stage and played himself before the show." Rise said with a slight chuckle.

"Weeeeeelllllllllllll this friend of ours is............" Yomiko started.

"Vivid." Nene said

"Scary" Tsubasa said

"A whack job." Masuyo said.

"Retarded." Yomiko said.

"Yeah just pick one of those." Masuyo said. "Or hell, all four."

"Well then I guess its time to go put a stop to his "show" Yosuke said. "So what are you gonna do about the concert?"

"Hmmmm........at this rate I might just cancel it."

"WHAT!?!??!" Masuyo Tsubasa Nene and Karin shouted in shock.

"I just dont want to get on stage and give a half hearted show. It would insult my fans." Rise said with a sad tone.

"Canceling the show 2 hours before hand makes for sad fans who dropped a nice sum of money to fly out here and get a hotel........" Masuyo said as he wiped a tear from his eye.

"Ah...........didn't think about that." Rise said. "But........I just dont-"

"Before you pass your judgement on whether you'll go through with this." Naoto started. "I suggest you look at this." she said handing Rise her phone.

"Hm? .............Omigod omigod omigod omigod!!!!!!! Where!?" she shouted excited.

"If you finished the message, or might I say, STARTED reading the message itself rather than just seeing the name of the sender, it says "Infront of the hotel at 5:30 pm" Naoto said with a slight sigh

"Its 5:15!!!" Rise shouted as she jumped up, knocked over a few tables and jumped over a couple of chairs to dash out of the cafe. "Oh! Bring those guys backstage after my concert!" she shouted at Kentaro before she completely dashed off.

".........................well I guess the man in question was found." Yomiko said.

"I'd say so." Nene said.

"BACKSTAGE WITH RISE-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN~" Masuyo squealed

"..........christ." Yomiko said facepalming

Noticing that his audience was getting tired of 'Mass Destruction', Stefan decided to switch gears. "Um...If you guys don't mind, I'm gonna try something a little different. ....We all face many different situations in life, and more often than not, the right path is always hidden from us....Often times we find ourselves doing things that we'll later regret....and it affects those around us. So this next song, is a....personification of...of the Mist that's in our way." Stefan started to play the song, getting emotionally engaged into the music.

"Hahaha! Im suprised he managed to keep a straight face 'til after she left." says Kentaro laughing at Masuyo's reaction. "Aight!" he yells getting serious again. "While Rise-chan gets reunited with her boo, we better book it over to the stage and take care o' Steve. If he slipped past security to get on there and play they probably haven't registered him as a threat yet. While the others are busy we should keep it that way."

"Sounds like a plan," Shinta said, "I am curious to see see what that bum's tryin' to accomplish here."

Karin nodded, "Yeah, whatever it is I just hope it won't ruin the concert. After all this that would just suck. For us and Risette."

"It would suck for Stefan, if he were unable to walk for the rest of his life." Masuyo said.

"Thats assuming that we'd let him live." Yomiko said.

"I dont think we should really.........kill him." Tsubasa said.

"I didn't hear "dont hurt him." in that sentence Tsu-chan" Nene said with a wink.

"Well i've saved up a long time for this! And. And. And!" Tsubasa began to stammer

"We get it, even you would be mad after this." Yomiko said.

"Cmon! Get a move on!" Masuyo shouted as he dashed to the hotel.

"Hehehe. You know t' be honest, I kinda hope he does try sumthin'. Not sayin' I wanna see the concert ruined, this is gettin' hella interesting." Kentaro says, as they run up the stairs to the stage. A guard stands by the entrance, but Kentaro flashes a badge and he steps aside. "You know you guys let an intruder up on stage? If i was you I'd start workin' on my resume." Kentaro says as they pass leaving the worried looking guard behind.

"Well shit, Kentaro doesnt fuck around when shit gets real it seems." Masuyo said looking at the guard begin to cry.

"Hurry up!" Nene shouted grabbing Masuyo by his hand and pulling him along

"H-hey!!" they heard knocking on the closet door. "I'm in here!"

"So.." Stefan looked at his watch. "Er...Rise should be here any minute now!" Stefan had a nervous laugh. The concert was now starting ten minutes late, people in the crowd had grown numerous, roudy, and Stefan's guitar skill reserves were running dry.

"We want Rise!!"

"Yeah! Where's Rise?!"

"S-she should be here any minute!" Stefan started playing a simple song on the guitar.

"No more distractions! We want Rise!"

"Crap, if Rise gets here, her security's gonna tear me apart, if I leave now, this crowd will murder me even worse. Quite another great situation you got yourself into Stefan..."

Shinta shrugged, "Normally the guy's all talk, but lately he's been surprising me."
