Danganronpa Rest in Paradise

Prologue Part 1: The Introduction to the Clumsy Nurse

Hope's peak Academy, you all come from a school of prodigious students who actively are changing the world with each and every step they make! I am so proud to be your headmaster, you've truly shown just how amazing your talents are throughout the first quarter of the school year. Despite that you all came here from Hope's Peak Academy, this story begins somewhere off campus..

In the past 2 years of its success, we have been working on a program that is in the progress of emerging from development. Instituted to assist in mental health as a form of future therapy to hurting students and getting the same amazing school education experience globally for students who work around the world! This would genuinely change the world for the better, but first a few things needed to be checked out, to be examined and to be handled before any of that. Which is where I need you to join us in our short expedition!

This is where our story begins, of our short lived adventure which will change everyone's lives for the better. This is the Recreation Institutional Program. I hope you accept this invitational, as it'd mean a lot to have another student here work alongside us here in the three day long program! We hope to see you soon!

Your headmaster,
Jin Kirigiri

This invitational event was sent to several students around the campus, intended to deliver an educational experience for the people working on this project, the students, and a certain well endowed investor willing to assist in the broadening of Hope's Peak's educational system. This event was closed and dated for one specific time, something that was meticulously planned for months beforehand so nothing could possibly go wrong within the event. So, in her eyes, if just to make sure nothing goes wrong, it's best to double check and make sure. 

The trip there was strange, she had to go to a hotel first, it wasn't anything low quality, it was actually one of those popular five star hotels more important people would go too, the kind where you'd spend thousands of dollars for a night in just to sleep on a pretty above average bed, still.. It's something amazing, when it comes down to it, whoever sponsored this event really did go all out.. But the odd part of it all was when there was a noticeable lack of other people than staff, who all politely averted their attention away and the people invited.

The other people there were strange, yet more familiar in the fact they were also Hope's Peak students, all of which seemed to kindly wait for whoever joined next. They had their own sharing circles where they talked about meaningless stuff, but there were a few people who hadn't dared talk to the other lively Hope's Peak students. First was a Smug man, who stood and leaned onto a wall, albeit his back was covered in a red velvet blanket... Then, a meek lady, who sat all alone, playing with what seemed to be a doll. There was another, it was a blue haired girl who happened to be fondly examining a water fountain, as if it's a total work of art, yet not at all looking at the statue, but the pool of water under it. Then, a pretty lady who was kindly doing the job of... Another custodian.

There were a few people she could talk too, but the choices seemed harder than before. Excluding bias, it seemed that a few of them were already busy with their own things, so she was split between picking the standing man, or the lady examining water...

When it came down to it, there wasn't really much of a choice, was there?

After closer inspection, the man was actually a well known person, if you were to ask about some of the richest families in the current world, this would come to mind, that being said.. She's never been too fond of celebrity culture. With a few meager steps, she went up and talked to the man himself, who seemed disturbed at the blanket he uses to cover his back so he could lean on the wall. He's quite strange.

"And who are you?"

She barely formed a word in her mouth, and the man already announced her presence to him. Words ball up together as she tried to find the appropriate wording and yet she could barely spew up her name.

"M.. Mikan Tsumiki.."

"Oh, that nurse, right?"

"Y-..Yes sir.."


He seemed to know her, this man was an underclassman yet acts so far ahead of everyone, Mikan wondered if he ended up paying for all of this, as she did remember something about this being some sort of "collaboration" in the fliers. Before she could even MAKE another sentence, a few polite bellhops would grab her luggage, and briskly walk it into the elevators.

"w–Wait..?"

"No need to worry, as cheap as this hotel happens to be, I made sure that everything in here will go smoothly. It was fairly time consuming having this hotel set up for the basic standards one would need for a moderate time in this 'first class' hotel, pfft.."

The man scoffed at calling it first class, as if he couldn't sound more entitled. He pulls that from under his belt of rich people things. Mikan questioned the culture and what would be considered 'first class' for him, but fears that it'd probably be the same as this, except more.. ... Whatever he does.

"As I was saying, since you seemed to have zoned out in the process of comprehending something as basic as this." He sternly looked toward Mikan, Byakuya made sure that she listened by continuing to go over what he previously said.

"I have purchased this establishment for the sake of making sure that this event goes quietly, and so that no one associates me with such... Mediocre accommodations. I can't be seen tolerating such indecency."

"Oh.. Uh.. Thank you for that.."

"Byakuya Togami."

It felt too much talking to him, so she asked her last question before leaving this conversation and onto the next. It felt kind of embarrassing that she's been living below first class and the first time she experiences such a wealthy lifestyle it still happens to be considered "below first class" to the actual people who are truly first class.

"How come you're leaning on that blanket instead of the wall?"

"That's a simple question, this is to make sure that cheap filth won't touch me."


She leaves Byakuya behind, having to choose between the lady with the puppet, and the lady who fondly looks at fountain water. The two genuine outcasts of the group, yet she could see herself fitting in right there. She kindly passed the custodian and student who argued over cleaning, so much so she couldn't notice a pillar ahead.

"Ow–!" She bumped her head, causing attention to be caught onto her. She awkwardly walked away from the silence which surrounded her, and went to the fountain lady, almost tripping up twice in a row in mere moments. Barely making it away from the spot she tripped up at.
