Persona 4 RP Phase 2

"No better than Rin-chan and Yomi-chan." Nene said. "Why do you ask? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?" She said grinning widely

"H-hush up!" Dahni blushed more. "..I-I kinda have a crush on Masuyo..." She whispered. "I-I mean...I know he's dating Yomi, and I certainly don't want to get in their way or s-steal him from her..b-but.." She covered her face in embarrassment.

"Doh hoh hoh......" Nene laughed. "Dead parents, lives on his own, onii-chan complex, quiet serious best friend and now the love triangle angle. He really is a lead from an anime!" she shouted. "Anywho, I don't know what to tell you.......Yomiko and Masuyo's relationship is truly an odd one. She's a very special kind of emotional support to him. I don't know the details but he nearly had a mental breakdown a week ago and Yomi helped him get back to his old self. I know on the outside it looks like an abusive relationship but I think Yomi is just too shy to be all DereDere with us around. She WAS too shy to get naked that one time......" Nene said thinking back to the bath.

"A-ah...I see..." Dahni receded into herself. "I-I've been meaning to tell him, but he's always busy, or doing something with someone else...I never get any alone time with him.." She sighed. "...I should have gone out with him when I had the chance....If only I had faced my shadow sooner..."

"Eh. Honestly I think its good you didn't go out with him before. When I met him he was in the middle of maturing a little, but I hear from Shinta and Yomi-chan that he was completely immature and idiotic. Like he would've picked going to play videogames over whoever he's with. He probably would've just left you upset or sad."

"I guess...I wasn't exactly matured fully either...The whole reason why I didn't go out with him was...well it was because of my situation with my Dad...I didn't think he would approve of Masuyo..But honestly, I really admired him. He was just...able to be himself, no matter who told him otherwise." She blushed some more. "I..I guess that's what I still admire about him. Heh.."

"I think that's the one good thing about him. And I bet he doesn't even realize he has that quality." Nene said chuckling.

"Well, he's got more going for him than just that!" Dahni protested, still blushing a bit.

Maeko was laying back, her arms and legs stretched out, staring at the sky. She turned over to her full ice bucket, then back to the sky. "..." She pulled her phone out of her vest pocket, she fiddled with it until she saw the time. "Oh..it has a clock. 7:30..." She sighed and tossed the phone not too far from her.

"What did you need, Tsubasa?" asked Shinta again.

As he approached his room, Masuyo could hear a faint crunching noise and the ruffling of paper.

".....what the fuck? They're already making a move or some shit? Chiaki-san is downstairs and Banchou isn't here......" Masuyo said to himself. He kicked open his door. "GET READY TO DIE YOU FUCKER!"

"C-can I train with you!?" she shouted nervously.

"Haa...that just won't do." Sitting atop Masuyo's bed was a single young man. He wore a Yasogami High Uniform in a clean and proper manner. He had short, straight black hair with bangs that barely reached his glasses. With a rice cracker in his mouth he put down the magazine he had been reading and looked at Masuyo with his clear green eyes, "Even if this is your room, you can't just go kicking open doors, Masuyo-kun. You did it at Karin-kun's house as well, didn't you? So that means I have to add two to the count today."

"Hm? I don't really mind but...why with me? Wouldn't you rater be with Masu or Nene or Kentaro?" asked Shinta.

".........What?" OH MY GOD ANOTHER TOSHIYUKI! AND HE GOES TO OUR SCHOOL? I HATE THE "VILLAIN IS YOUR CLASSMATE" ANGLE IT FUCKING SUCKS!!! "How the hell do you know what i've been doing. Better yet, WHO the hell are you. Answer quick."

"Wait, you're serious?" the boy asked looking surprised, " It's me. Tanamura. Editor-in-Chief for the school paper."

"........why the hell would I know you?" Masuyo said baffled.

"Because I tried to interview you after your little stunt in Kyoto. It was in the paper...on page 12...but still, my point remains. Then again," Tanamura gave another dissonant smile, "considering what happened after the trip, I'm not surprised you forgot. And even now it looks like you've got even more on your plate. I'm beginning to think you're some kind of adrenaline junkie, Masuyo-kun."

".......Huh. Don't remember you-"



"Excuse me Masuyo-kun if I could have a word-"

"NO I HAVE TO GET THE RISE MAGAZINE THIS MONTH'S ISSUE COMES WITH A CD BEAT IT!"



"........oh yeaaaahhhh....." Masuyo said. "And what are you talking about "I have even more on my plate"? So I got suspended for a week. Thats not gonna kill me. I'll just copy all of Yomiko's homework anyways."


"Well.......I could but.......we seem to fight similarly.......so......so......." Tsubasa said looking intimidated

"Well, there's that too, I suppose." said Tanamura nonchalantly taking another bite of his rice cracker, "But I was talking more about your hospital visit. But hey, that's life: People come, people go, right?"

".........What else do you know" Masuyo asked realizing it would be useless to try to play secretive.

Tanamura replied, "The Midnight Channel. You and your friends are involved with the disappearance of people that appear. I don't know the full details, interestingly enough, but what I do know is that everyone who appears on it is related to you in some way." Finishing his rice cracker, Tanamura stood up and headed out the door. "But enough about that, you have a sleepover in an hour, correct? We can talk more tomorrow if you'd like. I'd love to meet the others. Oh and remember: You should be careful with what you say at parties. You never know who's listening...or watching."

"Yeah, I can see your point there." said Shinta, "Well then, I look forward to training with you."

Masuyo's eye twitched. I know we're a little out there, but he knows WAY to much to have just "overheard" us. Take no chances with this one. "W-well since you stalk me anyways why don't you just make yourself home here tonight? We kinda could use more guys here anyways and they may be classmates you recognize! Heheheh........" We're keeping a close watch on this guy. Who knows what he can pull. he may be with Stefan and Toshiyuki, he may just be a random passerby with.......insane stalking abilities. Only way to find out is to get close to the guy. God damn it its not like I have my hands full enough with this huge group and now this fucking training tomorrow. Cant I get a goddamn break when im NOT away from Inaba!?

"I'd prefer it if you didn't refer to my information gathering skills as 'stalking,' Masuyo-kun." advised Tanamura, "Anyway, while I appreciate the offer, I'm afraid I must decline. There is some newfound information I need to process by tomorrow, I just stopped by to let you know I'd like to talk to you all later, but if I have some free time tonight I'll let you know if I'm coming by. Until then." Tanamura gave another wave and closed the door, "Hm...now that you mention it, there are a couple of people I'm interested in seeing."

Tanamura bid farewell to Chiaki and made his way to the floodplain. Settling down at the stairs, he pulled out his phone and began to fiddle with it. "Masuyo-kun...he's a pretty interesting one. I expected him to be more hostile based on my data but..."

"So, Tsubasa, what do you make of all of this?" asked Shinta.

"He's crazy. Hes gonna be hiding somewhere later. I know it. Why are all these outrageous stalkers following us around? Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooodddddddddddddddddd dammiiiiiiiittttttttttttttt I want to just kill them all!" Masuyo said falling over face first on his bed.


"I don't know." Tsubasa said. "This is all crazy and complicated, Onii-chan said one time its better to not bother trying to analyze everything and just simply doing. Thats why I want to train. I know Toshiyuki isn't a good person to have around..........at least thats how I honestly feel. I don't know anything about Stefan-san but........I just want to be able to protect myself at least. So you all dont have to waste time worrying about me.......I don't think im good enough to protect others so i'll at least achieve the bare minimum..........." she said trying to keep from looking away from Shinta.

Shinta placed a hand on Tsubasa's head and smiled, "I see. That sounds good."

"So, we got everything?" Dahni asked Nene, a bag of groceries in each of their hands.
