Persona 4 RP Phase 2

"Masu!" cried Karin as the ice spell hit him, "Dammit all!" She formed spiked bracers out of ice around her wrists and knuckles. "Hyaah!" she punched at the blocks of ice in an attempt to deflect or shatter them, her own bracers cracking with each strike. Eventually she gave in to the assault ans was knocked back onto the floor. "Gaah!" Slowly she staggered to her feet, her legs shaky and her arms growing numb.

"Fuck this." Masuyo said gritting his teeth in pain from the bufudyne. "Mamuudon!" he shouted as he enveloped all of the shadows in darkness. "Go to hell."

Masuyos attack destroyed the remaining shadows, and put the battle to end. As the party recovers from the shadow attack, the golden door unlocks itself and opens for the party to venture forth through.

"Sigh..." Maeko sighed, recovering from the fight. "Mediarahan." Iris waved its hands, healing the groups wounds before dissapating. "We alright?"

"....." Dahni held her knees, sitting in the girls room. RRRGH. I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! She got up and walked out of the inn, frustrated by her situation. "Sheesh. I really needed some fresh air." She took a few deep breaths and looked around.

"...Woman..." A sullen voice called out from the darkness.

"H-huh?! W-Who's there?!" Dahni asked, getting on guard.

"Pretty woman..." The voice called again, getting closer.

"I-I mean it! I'll scream if you don't come out." Dahni looked around frantically.

"Need...pretty woman...." Stefan walked out of the darkness in a haze.

"...Oh it's YOU." Dahni grumbled. "I actually got worried for a minute. What's up with you?"

"Need pretty woman...." Stefan looked at her inquisitively. "....Not pretty enough, where Karin?"

"....EXCUSE ME?!" Dahni yelled, her face red with fury. "I'll have you know, I am JUST as pretty as Karin, mister! And if you-"

"Your breasts aren't as big, your face isn't as delicate, your hair isn't as lush, you have poor taste of clothes, Karin is pretty. You...are plain...Need pretty woman." Stefan responded in a monotone voice, saying things very plainly.

"....." Dahni's eye twitched, her hairs standing on edge, her face red with anger. "Oh....THAT does it. Imma use your head for my next spike!" She growled, raising her fist, ignoring the dumbfounded look on Stefan's face, slamming down on his head so hard, his face knocked into the ground beneath him. He let out a sound of muffled agony. "WANT SOME MORE, PUNK?!" She screamed at him, her body tense as she towered over him.

"GAHH!! FUCK ME! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Stefan stood up, clutching his bleeding nose, standing to his feet. "Ow! Ow! Ow!"

"WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT MY BREASTS, HUH, YA BASTARD?! YOU WANT MORE!?" She screamed at him, an aggressive side of Dahni coming out that hadn't been seen before.

"I don't even know what you're talking about! Or how I even got here! Ow, fuck!" He clenched his face.

"YEAH, RIGHT!" She yelled.

"Seriously! The last thing I remember....Wait, what happened to that woman?" Stefan looked around. "...How'd I get here anyway? Wait...That lady was a persona user!" Stefan became slightly serious.

".....You're just trying to get out of a bad situation!" She snapped at him, her glare unforgiving.

"No, really, there's no way she could have hypnotized me like that, I felt the persona on her. She had a bunch of guys trapped too." He rubbed his head. "She said she wanted a female, one of my desire...Ugh, my memory's kinda foggy."

"....You, serious?" She looked at him, still not convinced. "...Well, to be honest, you did seem kinda out of it. Like you were drunk or something...But that doesn't make sense since you're underage...."

"...Uh, yeah." Stefan went along with it. "But this lady might be working with Mikako if she's not with us. Are the others there?"

"Nope." Dahni shook her head. "Yomi and Shinta just stepped out I think, Maeko, Masuyo and....Karin left earlier. Nene and Tsubasa are still sleeping."

"....Great. Looks like it's just us then." Stefan rubbed his face, his nose finally stopped bleeding.

"Wait...I'm not sure I fully believe you...." She folded her arms, tilting to one side and raised her eyebrows. "To be honest, you're kinda a fishy guy."

"...Well, then let me prove my innocence? Listen, I don't know what I said, so I can't exactly apologize for it." He responded.

"You said my breasts weren't as big as Karin's, my face wasn't as pretty as hers, I had a poor sense of style, and that my hair was worse than her's too." She glared at him, her eye twitching again.

"...Oh....Um, well I'm sorry." Though I can't exactly say that's wrong. "...I can't do this on my own though. Not if this lady can control me like she did. I gotta rely on you."

"Oh..." Dahni looked at him, this time not glaring. "Well....okay. But if you're covering for your comments, you're gonna get another whack."

"...Fair enough then.." Stefan sighed. Somehow I feel like I'm gonna get another whack eventually anyway.

"I am now," replied Karin with a thumbs up, "Thanks. Guess we go through that door now, huh?"

The team manages to overcome the the surprise shadow attack. The door flashes brightly and the party goes through. They are now in what appears to be a gymnasium. For a school, it isn't too big but it definitely not your average day gym. But what was weird about this gym was that there was audience, a very...furry audience. To the left and right of the gymnasium, there were huskies, pups and adult shadows all staring at the party. The walls were cracked and had a lot of fist indents on the wall. The floor was decorated with a few boxing related symbols and dog paws. In the middle of the gym, there was a mini stadium similar to that of a baseball field. Slowly, spotlights began to show the path the party needed to take leading towards the stadium field.

"Normally I like dogs, but these seem a bit...off." said Karin with a nervous laugh.

"I hate dogs regardless..." Maeko said, eyeing the surroundings a slight look of disgust on her face.

As the party enters the room, the dogs begin to rise from their seats and howl an woof as they walk down the lighted pathway.

"I hate this retarded place." Masuyo said with a sigh.

"It is rather disgusting if I do say so myself." A voice said from behind the group.

"HOW." Masuyo said as he turned to see Yomiko, Shinta and Rodrigo appear behind the group.

"The old man here gave us a lift from the inn. He told us what went on on the midnight channel because YOU didnt! Idiot!" she shouted hitting Masuyo on the head.

"Gah! Damn it woman im sorry!" he said.

Karin gave Maeko a look of disbelief, "What? What do you hate about them? They're cute, and loyal and full of energy. If it weren't for Grandma's allergies I'd love to have one." She gave an almost dreamy sigh at the thought.

"Something tells me you're the type who wants a pet but has no idea how to take care of one." remarked Shinta, but Karin was too far lost in her reverie to hear him, "Anyway, lemme get this outta the way: Any of you guys know this guy?"

"...Old man?" Rodrigo grumbled. "...I did say I wouldn't call you guys kids, least you could do is avoid calling me that." He folded his arms. "Sorry, but what's the situation? I was too busy getting Amy situated to watch the midnight channel."

"I just don't like them, they aren't too bad I suppose. I do admire they're loyalty. And they do chase cats away.." Maeko explained, "I hate cats more. Either way..." MAeko turned to the other whom just arrived.

*Rio wanders the street and sees a puppy*

Aww... it's a puppy. And its so cute too!

*she kicks it away*

FUCK YOU.

*takes out a flask and takes a swig*

"What!? I love cats!" Yomiko shouted angrily.

"Im fine with anything really." Masuyo said with a shrug. "Anyways it looks like we have a shit load of ugly dogs to kick the shit outta. thats pretty much the situation right now." he said to Rodrigo

"Beating on dogs. Got it." Rodrigo nodded, oddly compliant with the task.

"...So...Where is this lady Stefan?" Dahni grumbled, getting more and more agitated.

"I-I swear she was around her somewhere!" Stefan became more and more nervous relative to her agitation. He had a small bandage on his nose, covering his wound, and he feared he may have another soon to go with it.

Shinta shrugged, "If that's what we gotta do..."

Karin sighed, "Too bad, they'd be cuter if it weren't for the creepy eyes."

One of the the dogs comes out of the crowd and drops two keys, a silver and a gold key. It then walks up and sits, as if wanting to petted.

Karin put a finger to her temple for a moment before exclaiming, "...I know this one!" Karin knelt in front of the dog and said, "Neither."

"Yeah im not getting near those." Yomiko said.

"...........ill pass." Masuyo said looking at the keys covered in dog drool.

The dog that drop the keys begins to whine, and also starts to beg. The other dogs cover their eyes in shame and some just begin to howl.

"Uuggghhh shut up!" Yomiko said as she snatched up the keys. "Now what you stupid dogs!?"

The the dog begins to leap at Masuyo and attempts to lick him out of happiness while the other dogs seem to acknowledge the party and go back to their seats.

"UWAAAAAAAAAAARGH! BACK OFF!" he shouted making a wall of ice inbetween himself and the dog causing it to slam into the wall. "The fucker thought he was gonna eat my face off." he said to the group still freaking out.
