Persona 4 RP Phase 2

"Beef bowl." Tsubasa and Yomiko said together.

"Chicken yakitori for me." Hideyoshi responded with a smile.

"Ramen ramen ramen!" Masuyo and Nene chanted together.

"Ah..haha...ha..." Stefan sighed, a thousand regrets pouring through his head at once. "Well....I maintain the Inaba shrine.."

"Definitely a beef bowl." answered Karin.

"Hm...some ramen does sound good." said Shinta cupping his chin.

"Hmm, I can't decide myself that's why I was hoping you guys would help me choose when I asked." Kitao replied. "Maybe I'll join the underdog and get
Yakitori too."

"Nope." Kentaro grins and slaps him on the back. "You're taking the beef bowl challenge with me. It's part of your training!"

"You know I would love to but I rather like my life." Kitao replied. "Death by beef overdose sounds like a bad way to go."

"I see......so you're a janitor?" Ami bluntly askefd. "Or you're the owner of the shrine? I suppose the shack we were in is just a little place to sleep in for if you have really late nights of work and you have to get back to it first thing in the morning?" She rambled with a focused look of interest as she stared intently at Stefan.

Maeko was walking around Junes by herself, exploring the stores. Bleh...so many clothing outlets and shops..none of these stores seem interesting.. She continued wandering past the electronics department, wearing a confused expression as she glanced at the various devices. Maeko soon found herself in front of an outdoor sports equipment store, This is more like it. her face brightend up as she went inside.

"Well....Yeah, I suppose so." Stefan responded. Maybe school WOULD be a good idea...if only to not seem like SUCH a loser.

"Thats pretty impressive!" she said with a gleam in her eyes. "You own property that you run a business on, AND you have a house elsewhere on top of the little emergency building!" she stopped and thought for a few moments. "I guess its not fair for me to barrage you with questions and for me to say nothing. Im hoping to go medical studies once I get into college. Well I hope I can get into college. Im pretty terrible with History and Physical Ed. Almost got held back twice because of them." Ami sighed and shook her head. "Stupid stupid stupid subjects."

"...." Stefan stared back at her, surprised by her praise. "Y-yeah, I'm not a big fan of history myself. And phys ed-" Visions of escapades in the TV world flashed through his head. "Never saw the point of it. Not like people can't exercise on their own if they need it."

"Exactly! Its completely stupid to make something one can do on their own a required class! So I cant run an entire mile without taking multiple breaks, what does that have ANYTHING to do with my real studies? Im surprised they havent abolished that class yet!" Ami shouted nearly standing up and leaning forward in excitement. "As for history, its just of no interest I suppose. I don't care about the past, just what can be done in the future. Though theres the whole "If you dont know your history you'll just repeat the same mistakes" saying or whatever, I know my history when it comes to science and medicine! Thats all that matters right!?" she shouted, obviously excited about the subject at hand.


"My. She seems lively." Hideyoshi said noticing Ami. "She must be having a great time."

"Shes pretty cute. And loud." Masuyo said. "And with Stefan." he pointed out noticing who she was sitting with.

"Ah leave em alone, this looks like its actually going well for him for once." Yomiko said with a pat on Masuyo's shoulder. "Down boy."

"WAITER! IS TAMAKI HERE!?" Nene howled as she entered the diner.

"You kidding? You may feel the need to leave Stefan in peace, but I've no such obligation... YOOOO! STEVE M'MAN!" Kentaro calls out loudly. "Missed you, Buddy. Who's your lady friend?"

The waiter turned to Nene, "Izumi? He's making a delivery. Should be back soon, though."

"At any rate, let's get a table." suggested Shinta.

"Yeah," said Karin, "I'm starvin' over here."

"Eh? Kentaro? Uh, been a while..Ami, this is my....friend? Kentaro. I'm not sure, last few times he's wanted to fight me. What have you been up to?" Stefan asked, trying to get it over quickly.

Kitao sat at one of the free tables, "So, who is that guy anyway? I haven't seen him before..." He asked with curiosity, "Seems like he's more than kind of nervous..."

"That's Stefan," explained Karin, "he's a friend of ours. I don't know who that girl he's with is, though."

"Not my business." said Shinta placing his hands behind his head.

"You're not even a little curious?"

"Alrighty sir, are you ready for the challenge?" The waitress said to Daikichi.

"You bet! Lets DO IT!!! I'M HUNGRY!!" Daikichi prepares his sticks and gazes upon the steam beef hes about to feast on.

"Man...Daikichi...you're kinda crazy but this is kinda funny too." Yosuke snickers.

Daikichi begins to eat the bowl and has attracted somewhat of an audience.

"Honestly, I just want to eat." Masuyo said scratching his head.

"........." Yomiko stared at the two who were speaking. Is Stefan really on a date before us? Thats kinda........ she looks back at Masuyo. "Unfair." she mumbled.

"What? Oh im sorry." Masuyo said pulling a chair out for her to sit down on. "Ladies first." he said with a fake suave tone.

".........Thats not what I meant." she said as she sat down. She then sighed and became a little red. "Idiot."

"Thats our "resident monkey!"" Nene said to Kitao with a smile. "At least thats what I hear Masuyo saying.

"Monkey? Thats nicer than what ive heard him say........" Tsubasa said as she turned to watch Kentaro pester Stefan.

Kitao laughed, "Maybe we should test that. Anyone got a banana?"

Maeko walked around the store excited, a slight spring in her step as she wandered through the outdoor equipment. She soon found herself carrying all sorts of baits, hooks, fishing line, nets, and the like. As she made her way to the cash register, she remembered, "Oh wait...right, I need money." She placed her things down and checked her pockets, finding only lint and a few yen. "....." She dropped the equipment where she stood and marched out the door.

"If we did it would have already been fought over by all of us." Tsubasa said reminding Kitao that everyone was next to starving.

"That........sounds.......hehe." Yomiko began as she chuckled. She imagined the group killing each other over one banana.

"I hope you all dont mind, but I took it upon myself to place everyone's order, as fun as it is to listen to you all as a group, we cant ignore hunger!" Hideyoshi said.

"I think we just acquired a team mom." Masuyo said. "A shame. I'd have much prefered-"

And now hes gonna talk about how he wants to see a soft loving side of me and for me to tend to the group like a mother. Yomiko thought to herself feeling like she knew Masuyo inside out.

"-Karin." he finished. "She's pretty brash and tomboyish, but her soft nurturing side gives her a really great charm about herself y'know?" he explained. He then heard a weak "I hate you" be said, but wrote it off as accidentally overhearing a different conversation.

Yomiko wants to kill a certain someone. Thats what she kept telling herself. That someone was too dumb to deserve to live and needed to be put down.

Daikichi continues to eat the bowl but doesn't seem to be stopping. He vigorously eats his way through the monster bowl. Some of the crowd has no idea how what to say about this monstrous eating.

"My word...he's tearing that bowl apart...." The waitress says astonished.

"The hell?! He IS bulldozing that bowl!" Yosuke says in astonishment as well. Daikichi takes a moment to look at Yosuke for a brief moment and gives him a shrug.

Karin blushed, "W-wha? I'm not, I mean, I...thanks." She quietly shrunk down in her chair.

Shinta sneered, "You forgot to add 'cute when flustered' to the list."

"Oh shut up, Shinta." said Karin instantly regaining her composure.

Kitao looked at Karin then to Hideyoshi "Huh... Don't you have to be a girl to be a mom?" Kitao said blankly.
