Persona 4 RP Phase 2

"But that's no fun. The point of a sleepover is to do everything with your friends!" She said as she clapped. "Nene and Dhani make whatever you two bought. Karin and Maeko prepare the fish! Shinta and myself will get the dining hall ready! Its pretty dusty since no one uses it."

"Sounds good!" Dahni smiled. She grabbed Maeko's arm. "Come on Maeko!"

Shinta nodded, "Will do."

"Just leave it to us!" said Karin putting her arm around Maeko.

Nene added to the Maeko clingfest and threw her arms around her from behind. "Yay! TO THE KITCHEN!" She shouted as they all carried off a strugling Maeko

"Alright.." Maeko made to effort to struggle as the three dragged her off to the kitchen. She sighed and her head sulked a bit.

"So. How was our friend doing?" Toshiyuki asked Stefan. The two of them were standing in the back yard of a house, a porch light on.

"As well as can be expected. None of the medicine is showing any results. But he's not getting any worse either. The doctors can't figure it out." Stefan responded.

"That's to be expected. It's mainly pointless to expect him to recover."

"...So he'll be like that forever?" Stefan had a sullen look on his face.

"Hmm...If not that, then for a long time. Unless he manages to control it. He won't die at least. Persona's are interesting things." Toshiyuki sneered at him. "Aren't you glad you got what you got?"

"...I can't exactly say I'm happy that one of my partners is going to be on the brink of death for the rest of his life." He said, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"Hm. Fair enough." He smiled and looked away.

"Well," Shinta turned to Chiaki, "shall we get started on the dining room, Chiaki-nee?"

"Sure." she said as the two went into the dining hall.

"Holy crap! These fish smell like death!" Nene shouted plucking her nose after trying to grab a fish to scale it.

"Well...It's fish. They just smell like fish. And I mean...they are dead technically." Dahni laughed at Nene, while she too removed the scales. "..Though doing this does make you appreciate the people who do this every day. Do you do this all the time Maeko?"

"Duh, how do you think I eat?" Maeko asked turning to Dahni, scaling the fish without needing to look at them.

"Hey sorry Im late! I got cake!" Kentaro walks in holding a bag of sweets. "Phew! What smells like death?"

"Fish. We're scaling them." Dahni looked at Maeko's pile of fish, seeing that it was twice as big as her and Nene's. "...W-wow. You're really good at this."

Maeko sighed and turned to Kentaro, she smirked a bit. She turned back to Dahni and the fish. "...again, how do you think I eat?" Maeko said and she washed her hands and started rumaging through the kitchen for spices.

"Don't you ever get tired of eating fish though?" Dahni asked.

"When it's all I can get, I'm not gonna get picky." Maeko replied, laying the fish on a plate. She handed a few spices to Dahni. "Here, spice them. Nene, could you set the oven?" Maeko asked pullnig out a baking sheet.

"Okay." Dahni grabbed the spices from her, and began to apply them to the fish.

"Don't forget to flip them and spice the other sides." Maeko noted while putting down the baking sheet and buttering it.

"Got it! How many degrees captain!?" Nene shouted rushing to the oven.

"Yes mam!" Dahni said, spreading the spices evenly over the fish.

Karin chuckled as she spice her share of fish, "You really know how to take charge, Maeko."

"Hey where's Tsu-chan?" Kentaro asks putting the cake away "And Masu-bro and Yomi-chan?"

"375." Maeko said to Nene. "Erm..Thanks." She replied as she started taking finishly spiced fish on to the sheet.

"Masu's in his room," replied Karin, "Yomi went to get him and Tsubasa went to warn him."

"You'd make a good head chef Maeko." Dahni chuckled. "What exactly do you want to do for a living?"

"...I just want to live." Maeko replied, putting the remaining fish on the baking sheet and sliding it in the oven. "Set it to 10 minutes."
