A rich musical history was indeed correct. In Rantaro’s travels he’d become acutely aware of speaking to people – getting insider tips on areas and really learning how to scope things out. When he’d offered to come here, he’d done the same thing.
It was no surprise to hear the many accomplishments that surrounded the area. And to hear that the museum was to hold a collection of some of the finer instruments which had belonged to those whom came from here? Well, it was a charming thought. And hearing the PRIDE that came from the town… well, it was a good feeling. All in all, it was painful to hear that many people were beginning to avoid this place now. The rumors were damaging the reputation of a place that was well l o v e d by those who surrounded it. So? It was hard to imagine that a sinister spirit or the likes could be involved…
As he wasn’t someone who’d ever SEEN a ghost himself, he wasn’t entirely sure how he felt on the matter still – whether he believed in them or not. But the chance that it could be another HUMAN who might put his classmate in danger? Was the TRUE D R I V E for the protective Rantaro to come along.
“Well, I’ll be happy to see it. The centerpiece of a museum is often breathtaking.” He spoke these words through a soft smile – because, despite the risk? It was thrilling to be here as well. Seeing the museum as often very few people ever would. Coming to a place like this at night? Well, to say the least, the ULTIMATE Adventurer wasn’t likely to forget this place anytime soon.
However, now that they were inside, he knew he would have to focus. “… that makes sense. We should start there then, and make some beginning observations.” With that, Rantaro looks around – It was dark, but not so much so that the youth had too hard a time seeing. Given that it was a museum, it would often have maps around. Ether on the wall or little guides for guests… but, given that the building was mid-renovation? It appeared they would have to go off of something else… “Well, buildings of this period tend to have their main hall in this direction… so…” With that, Rantaro makes his mind up to start walking towards the direction. He was mostly talking to himself with that one – used to being alone in his travels, he didn’t have to worry about people hearing him think aloud. It was habit now.
Though, as he begins to walk, he does look over his shoulder towards his companion. “Would this be a good time to ask what in particular the nightguards have talked about? Aside from hearing the piano at odd points – have any of them come to harm because of these incidents?”

This is the verse that will be used for canon timeline / killing game variation threads! So, anything that happens within the game – whether we keep it to its canon or make a variation of it? Will likely be tagged with this one! However, due to the newness of the game? I intend to leave this purposely vague for now. Once I’m satisfied that most people have played/watched the game? I shall update this a little more properly! But, basically speaking? If they’re within one of the “KILLING GAMES,” I shall be using this tag!
A despair-less verse of the nerds going to Hope’s Peak Academy, rather than the Academy for Gifted Inmates – somewhat based off “Talent Development Plan” extra, at the end of NDRV3. In this verse, he will be going to class with the other students from his game.
Recruited for his talent (which I do know, but I will not name for now - just to keep people from being spoiled! ) along with the others from his class, he is a very busy fella – a bit of a traveler, he often disappears from classes for weeks at a time. To the point of the class sort of just expecting that his attendance is going to be… spotty at best. He doesn’t always open up to people, leaving himself a bit of a mystery to most, but? He’s always willing to help out if asked, and does his best to be someone his class can rely on.
The newest reincarnation of “Rantaro”, this young phoenix has decided “new life, new start,” and only recently moved to Orsus – to the point of really not having met any of his neighbors yet, because he’s still busy unpacking all of the things he decided to bring along.
Having decided to move there suddenly, he’s not entirely used to the area yet – let alone the people he’s around. Being a phoenix, he’s “immortal.” Or, at the very least, his body is? Every time his body “restarts,” or bursts into flames and returns, they don’t keep their memories… This is part of the reason he left. Having witness the death of a member of his family, and then their rebirth? He couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sadness at the loss of this “stranger,” that his body somehow recognized, even if he didn’t – not willing to go through that again? He had to leave his family behind. This way, he could truthfully have a fresh start.
Rantaro, despite being a phoenix, has no control over fire. Instead – this incarnation’s powers have all been poured into his natural healing ability. Due to that, he’s begun working at the clinic on Orsus. ( He can, however, bring out his wings if he tries had enough. He can even turn entirely into his “bird-like” form. ) He has no visible tells, due to the rarity of his species.
