Persona 4 RP Phase 2

"I don't think any of us are. I'm trying to avoid going myself." Dahni rubbed the back of her head and laughed.

"Makes sense to me, and Trust me, I'm no good with it either." Maeko replied turning to Karin, laughing slightly.

"No, you go too Dahni." She said turning to her.

"Nao may be number one, but that in no way means I'm only working to save one life Toshiyuki." Banchou said blowing out a puff of smoke. ".......stupid kid." He thought outloud

"And how many lives do you exactly plan to save by throwing people into TVs?" Toshiyuki's smug grin was slowly becoming a snarl. "The only thing keeping you from turning against her is Nao's medicine. I've even tried replicating it, but to no avail. I'm no medic." He folded his arms, taking his hands out of his coat pocket. "...How long do you think she'll play this game with you before she decides she no longer needs you? Then what happens to Nao?"

***

"Dammit...Well, I guess I like guys who aren't afraid to be themselves. That's what attracted me to Masuyo." She explained, then looked to Yomiko. "Of course, I would never try to pursue him now that I'm friends with Yomi, and they seem really happy together. But someone like that appeals to me." She said.

"Dunno." Banchou said blowing out a larger than usual cloud of smoke. "But she won't live long enough to be finished with me. Why are you so interested in what I'm doing anyways? Soon as she's gone I could give a damn what you do so long as it doesn't endanger this town"


"Uh huh......." Yomiko said.

"I'm interested, because I see you as a threat." He responded. "In the end, she still controls you because of her grip on Nao, and at any second she could order you to kill someone. And because of your loyalty to that girl, you would give no thought to killing another human. No matter who." He paused. "..More importantly, you have the ability to kill likely most any human in this town. Including those with personas. What exactly is your plan for breaking free of this woman's grasp on you?"

"I already said it. Imma kill the bitch dead." Banchou said getting irritated. "And just because I'm strong doesn't mean ill go around killing innocent people. I'm specifically ignoring her orders at the moment anyways"

"Hmmm..." Maeko sighed, looking around, she adjusted her hat and towel. Geez..you could cut the tension with a knife...

"Well...Um...now what?" Dahni asked. "...I'm almost afraid to ask, but what's the kind of guy you like Nene?"

***

"...Well, in the end, it's your daughter's life. I'm sure you know best on what to do in regards to that." He took a deep breath. "...I will say this though, you can do what you like, but if you harm any of my team, or if you get in my way, I won't hesitate to cut you down. I give you that warning out of my respect for you, not as a threat." He stuffed his hands back into his pockets. "And you need not even take note of where Amy lives, after tonight she won't be there anymore. Can't take the risk of Mikako finding out." He began walking away. I wonder if it would be possible to get Rodrigo to make Nao sick enough that she'd die. That would free up Banchou from her grip, and all the while thinking she tricked him. Worth taking under consideration.

"Yeah, no offense Nene, but I thought you'd have the most to talk about." Maeko said turning to her, smiling faintly.

"I'm sure by the next time you even think about me she'll be dead." Banchou said.


"Eh? I said I haven't thought about it much........ehehehe." she said laughing nervously.

"...I do hope you mean Mikako." Toshiyuki stopped walking.

"Who knows?" Banchou said shrugging his shoulders. "She is easy pickings" he said with a laugh

"...Maybe we should get out now. We've been in awhile." Maeko said, looking around.

"..I'll remind you, harm any member of my team, and you won't be forgiven Banchou." His body tensed. "Don't think that you're unstoppable. That kind of hubris is the fall of any man."

***

"Yeah, I suppose we have. And the boys deserve it after all we've put them through." Dahni said. "Shall we?"

"Hm." Maeko nodded, standing up, keeping how towel and hat on. She walked into the changing room.

"Yeah," Karin said getting out of the bath and heading to the changing room, "See ya inside."

"Oh, Karin, my mom dropped off our stuff with the front desk. Just so you know." Dahni called to her.

Maeko turned to see Karin walk in as she finished dressing herself. She adjusted her hat. "Hey, Karin."

"What's up?" she asked drying herself off.

"What's your relationship with Shinta?" Maeko asked, cutting to the chase.

Yomiko and Tsubasa got out to enter the dressing room. For some reason Nene silently stayed in the bath.

"Did you like that?" she asked Tsubasa

"Mmhm. It felt really nice~" Tsubasa said with a smile.

"Lets go in again later then." Yomiko said wraping a towel around herself. "Ok time to get dressed!"


"Whats got you sittin here all lost in thought?" Misaki said coming from under the water. "That was a pretty good dip. In terms of holding my breath and bathing."

"Ah.....its nothing. Just......thinking I suppose?" Nene said with a confused smile.

"Uh huh...." Misaki said.

"How'd you get those scars?" Nene asked seeing that Misaki wasn't wearing her bandages, obviously due to being in water.

"These? Ah. That cockheaded brother of mine sold me to that crazy nurse as a test subject to get on her good side. But hes dead, and now all thats left is to kill her, and we can finally go back to our lives." Misaki said as she got out of the water.

"Sold you huh........" Nene said looking at her reflection in the water. She then splashed her face. "Ahhhhh its all in the past! What matters is now and tomorrow!!!!" she shouted energetically as she followed the rest of the girls.



"I kid I kid." Banchou said raising his hands into the air. "I could give a damn bout that girl, seems like she doesn't even wanna be with your group anyways. Im more interested in Stefan and Rodrigo honestly."

"And why is that?" He turned around to face Banchou.

Karin coughed violently before turning to Maeko, "Where'd that come from?"

"Just curious." Maeko replied, shrugging and closing her eyes.
