Persona 4 RP Phase 2

"Whipped cream is a dairy type thing man. Ya know what? I"ma just make the shit because its tasty and if you want at it, go for it. However, any of you drop dead or go insane because of an allergy reaction, don't come hollering at me." Daikichi said.

"Uh. Sure." Stefan followed orders and grabbed a peeler. He began the task, humbled by Misaki's directness.

"Yeah...that seems, unwise to say the least." said Shinta as he got to work slicing fruits.

Tamaki cracked his knuckles and headed to the grill, "I'll start the grill before Karin gets back."

"Well tonight is gonna be........interesting?" Yomiko said to Shinta, Dahni and the others who were helping set the dining room up.

"You got my brother. Theres nothing special about that." Tsubasa bluntly said.

"Someone sounds like they might be a little jealous." Hideyoshi playfully said. "Are you a Bro-con by any chance?"

"I sometimes think is the exact opposite." Yomiko responded to Hideyoshi. "Have you seen how he gets with Tsubasa? Hes so nice its almost vomit inducing."

"Well he did find out they were family, what, a month ago?"  said Karin entering the room, "Can't fault the guy for being a bit overzealous."

Shinta shrugged and gave a noncommittal sigh, "Could be.  Or maybe he really is a siscon."  He chuckled for a bit before remembering a certain conversation at the apartment.

Flashback

"YES! What cant you understand about the fact that shes my sister!? Shit dude! My fucking family killed itself, I think im alone, and then I find out theres another person out there who went through the same shit and also thought she was all alone! I cant expect you to completely understand it, but we aren't even blood related! I don't even know if that eats her up or not whens hes alone dude. But if her seeing me as her older brother makes her happy and not have a mental collapse, then dammit Kentaro im going to bust my fucking ass to be the best brother ever! Keeping other guys away is a JOB. You aren't a bad guy persay, but at the same time you ARE. I know how you function pretty much so you CANT say its illogical for me to flip a shit or be defensive about her and you." Masuyo shouted as he grabbed Kentaro by his shirt

End Flashback

Or maybe because he's fucked six ways to Sunday?  But that's really not my place to say. thought Shinta with a somber expression before shaking his head and smirking, "Just kidding."

"As usual you've got a sick sense of humor.  Whatever, I'll be in the kitchen." said Karin taking her leave.

"He already breaks enough laws as it is. We cant let him being a siscon get added to his list of issues. IT JUST CANT HAPPEN!" Yomiko shouted as she slammed some plates onto the table. Possibly cracking a few of them.

"I think someone may just be jealous of the attention someone else gets from a certain someone from what im hearing." Hideyoshi said with a small grin. "Then again its probably just my imagination."



"So what are you two makin over there?" Banchou asked Misaki and Stefan.

"We already said meat skewers. If you didn't remove Masuyo from existence he'd be working on the salad already." Misaki said giving Stefan a "This asshole right here." look as she pointed at Banchou.

"Uh huh........well imma fufill my role of the old fart and sit on the porch with a beer. Wanna join me?" he asked Rodrigo.

"Sounds good to me." Rodrigo nodded, following Banchou out.

"...And there goes the two largest men to walk the earth. How they both ended up in the exact same group, I'll never know." Stefan shook his head, focusing on his task.

"That's just how Masuyo is." Dahni said. "He's overzealous in his protective instincts, but it all comes out of an area of love." I hope. "I doubt he'd act any less protective of any of us if we were in danger." I hope. Again.

"Hmm..." Maeko looked around at the others cooking, observing. She shrugged and walked out. "Eh, too many people in here for me."

"Join them." Misaki ordered to Tamaki. "Adult men converse and consume alcohol while the young women prepare food to feed them."

"You know..........that could be taken in a pretty offensive light depending on the person." Nene said with a nervous laugh.

"Well, we have the most feminine of the males in here cooking. Masuyo and Stefan." Misaki bluntly said.

"....." Stefan's eye twitched. "You're like the head chef at an all women's prison. Are you a dyke or something?" He grumbled.

"Well, honestly I'm not much of a drinker, and I'd ra-agh!" Tamaki was cut off by Karin lightly shoving him in the back towards the door.

"Please Aniki, you have already done enough. Please rest and allow us to cook for you." she pleaded before giving him a push out onto the porch, "Please look forward to our meal." Karin smiled to the adults and bowed before returning to the others.

"Probably, I mean the guy did challenge Banchou to prove he could take hits for the team." said Shinta stroking his chin.

"He wanted that to be a secret you know." Yomiko said shooting a glare at Shinta.

"He challenged Banchou alone? Does he have regeneration or immortality? Because hes still walking this earth for some reason." Hideyoshi asked, legitimately confused.


"A DYKE? What the hell makes you think im a dyke!?" Misaki growled stabbing the knife into the counter. "What? Just because im a little more blunt and not as girly as all of those walkway girly girls in this group!?"

".........Karin and Misaki. That would be an interesting couple." Masuyo said holding his hand to his chin. "They did fight each other and tropes say that when you fight each other that that automatically makes you a pair. But Karin is pretty girly just based on looks." he said focusing on her chest.

"You might want to stop." Nene suggested pointing to Karin and Misaki. "Lest you want poor Tsubasa-chan to be alone again."


"Here ya go." Banchou said tossing a cold beer to Rodrigo. He sat down on a folding chair on the front porch of the beach house. "Ahhhhh! Who'd have thought we'd be chaperoning a teenage beach trip huh?" he asked Tamaki and Rodrigo

"And judging by your reaction, it wasn't a very well kept one." retorted Shinta with a shrug.

"Can we please stop discussing my chest and possible lesbanism for once?" asked Karin with an exasperated sigh.

"Well, from what I've seen Masuyo-kun has undergone a change since that revelation." added Yuuichi, "It could just be a natural sense of responsibility."

"Well I didn't expect to to just show up at my place and grab me for this, but it's been nice." said Tamaki looking for a non-alcoholic drink, "even if I spent the beginning of it carrying luggage."

"You boys and your charming words..." Dahni grumbled, shaking her head disapprovingly.

"Well lets go down the list, shall we!? Boy haircut. No makeup. You dress like a 12 year old punk wanna be! And you have the personality appeal of an angry rhinoceros!" Stefan counted his points on his fingers.

"Better that we are, than if not." Rodrigo took a sip of his beer. "These guys deserve a rest. Though somehow they seem to get into more trouble when relaxing then when involved with this whole mess we've made for ourselves."

"I sense talk of chest sizes and impending feminine violence." Kentaro says coming from setting the table. "I want in."

"Ya got a good point there." Banchou said. "Kinda shitty that this involves us more so than those kids, or at least the start of all of this did." he said with a distraught look. "By the way, hows that one lass doing? The girl who was hung up on Toshiyuki?"


"It was efficient for my job. Thats all there is to it." Misaki said trying to not explode any further than she already had. "Besides, if I was prancing around trying to be dressed like a "real" girl, I feel like i'd get more flak for that than my current attire." she said digging her fingers into her arm and gritting her teeth.

Masuyo quietly looked at Misaki. ".......Sorry. Didn't think it was a sensitive subject for you cause........well I cant say Stefan isnt wrong with the image you painted for us of you. You're kind of that "Tough as nails give zero fucks about useless things like image" chick."

"I suppose you're right. But still! Being called a dyke outright." Misaki looked down a bit before picking her knife back up and continuing to silently peel vegetables.

"........I didn't help at all did I." Masuyo said with a sigh of failure

"Stefan, you're really not making this any better.  You know that?" said Karin putting a hand to her face before turning to Kentaro, "And you, no."

"There. All done." said Shinta putting down his knife. In front of him was a large assortment of various fruit slices. "What do you guys think? I tried going for the whole 'apple rabbit' thing, but to be honest it's my first time so I'm not all that confident."

"....." Fuck it. "Backing down, now, are you she-wolf?" Stefan grinned, knowing he was causing chaos.

"You moron." Dahni buried her face in her hands.

"Haven't heard too much from her. She's with family in America. Hopefully, she'll be safe and out of trouble there." Rodrigo said, not sounding entirely convinced.

"Hrm. I see." Banchou said taking a swig of beer. "Tell me........you been seein any new faces around Inaba lately?" he asked trying to not outright point out that Mikakos subordinates had begun to appear in town.


"Uh Stefan?" Nene said nervously. "Are you alright?"

Misaki continued to try to ignore Stefan, still peeling veggies.

"Yeaaaah. I'm good." He chuckled a bit. An awkward silence hung in the air.

"...Well, how's the meat coming along?" Dahni asked.

"A few. Can't do anything but keep an eye on them for now. We're on the defensive." Rodrigo took another swig of his beer. "I think I worry about the familiar faces more, though."

"...Should I be here?" asked Tamaki opening a soda can, "This sounds like important, private stuff."

"Almost all chopped up," answered Karin, "Thanks to Aniki the grill's already heated up, so unless there's some marinate around here we can start skewerring and grilling once the veggies are done."

"Shit. My bad." Masuyo said as he began to pull out seasoning and marinade. "Gotta give em a little flavorin first." he said as he began to work with the meat. He looked back at Stefan with a confused look. Then tried to make conversation. "Soooooo.........how bout them dates we have tonight?"


"I get what you mean." Banchou said to Rodrigo scowling. "Doesnt help that I spend majority of my time worry about if my daughter is safer alone, or being protected by those kids. As self destructive as they may be, they always seem to pull something outta their asses. It also doesn't help that Mikako knows where majority of them live." He then turned to Tamaki. "You're gonna be dragged into this eventually. You might as well be filled in. Chiaki already was after all."

"How about them indeed." Stefan nodded, continuing his task. "...." He was awkwardly quiet for a moment. Then sighed. "Sorry. I'm a little edgy today. And well, every day." He bit his cheek then changed the subject. "Well then how bout this. Got any tips for how I could impress Karin?"

"I think it looks great, Shinta." Dahni smiled. "Should we put on some shaved chocolate too? Oooh! How about we make a fondu?"

"I agree. Tamaki, you might even be able to provide a perspective on this that we could use." Rodrigo finished his beer and got up to grab another one.

"Well for starters, make sure she's not in the room when you ask that." said Shinta pointing to Karin, who had finished chopping the rest of the meat.

"Pfft." Masuyo tried to hold in a laugh.

"Ladies like a passionate romantic man overflowing with BURNING DESIRE!" Nene said to Stefan. "SHOW HER HOW HARD YOU LOVE HER!!!"

"How.......hard.........you love her." Yomiko said ashamed of breathing the same air as Nene
