Rhythm Thief On The Run (Pilot episode)

Rhythm Thief On The Run (Pilot episode)

Project Overview

It's been two years since the Hanging Gardens rose, and in those two years, the mysterious Phantom R, the one who saved Paris, has vanished completely. The only clue he left, a short series of text messages and a promise to meet again, was left in the hands of the woman he'd loved. Marie followed that clue for those two years, aided by the self-proclaimed private eye Charlie, though after so much time without any further leads, Charlie has become unwilling to continue, while Marie has held on to whatever hope there is of him returning.

One night changes everything. Upon receiving an urgent call from an out-and-about Charlie, Marie is hit with the news that Phantom R is once again in Paris. Not only that, but he's been savagely beaten, having been saved from a worse fate through Charlie's intervention. Once she arrives on the scene, something else is discovered about him: He's wearing a mysterious anklet, one bound to him by a strange lock that he can't seem to break. Upon finding shelter for the night away from prying eyes, he reveals another fact: He can't remember obtaining it, let alone putting it on his ankle. Not only that, but the anklet boasts a very familiar symbol, the same that Marie's violin bears.

Hoping for answers to the many questions he has, Raphael makes an offer with Charlie: A truce, at least until the mysteries surrounding the anklet are resolved. Given the anklet's possible connections to the incident two years ago, Charlie begrudgingly accepts the offer, though she says she'll be keeping a close eye on him.

Away from their eyes, however, a storm is brewing, and at the center of it stands someone with the power to bring entire countries to their knees...


So what is Rhythm Thief On The Run?

All right, so you've played Rhythm Thief, a game with no sequel, no plans for a sequel, and a million cliffhangers.

This is my answer to that.

On The Run is an audio drama intended to tie up the loose ends of Rhythm Thief, plus create a new and engaging plot that expands on the characters and their world. It's not a huge project, considering that the fanbase is pretty small, but it's my current pet project that I'd love to see take off.

As you can see below, I've already had to fill in a few things. Namely, last names. Please take note of this: Raphael and Marie's last names are not actually canon. I feel like I should mention that, because I know these things tend to get spread around as canon a lot???

Anyway, I hope to see actors here! Have fun with your auditions! Feel free to shoot me an ask on tumblr (cia-nah) or talk to me on my deviantart (cla-re) for more info!

    ^ On the Run will be posted here in fic form first, before any further planning on this project happens. Thank you!

  • Deadline extended!!!

    Wow I do NOT know how to work this site, haha, my brain is still kinda recovering from Thanksgiving hours.


    At any rate:


    The deadline has been extended to the 10th of December! Thank you for taking interest in the project!

I'd like this as close to canon as possible, though if you want her to sound a little older, that's absolutely fine!


Charlie will DEFINITELY narrate her own part in the future, if not more. This may be Rhythm Thief, but this is just as much her story as it is Raphael's. LOTS will happen to Charlie, and she will also have a few moments that require more effort. Once again, please don't destroy your throat trying to scream from it. :P

  • What do you mean, "as far as you can remember?!"

  • M-Marie! He's here! Phantom R is back!

  • I'd say "no" under any other circumstances. You're lucky that I'm involved in all this as well.


    So, fine. I'll accept the offer of a truce. I'll be keeping a close eye on both of you, though!

Follow the same guidelines as the other random criminal? Please remember that these are actually really important. I love everyone who auditions for extra roles. You're all great. *thumbs up emoji*

  • Right. I'll keep an eye out for him.

  • What?! You mean we've been followed?!

  • Grr...Don't think we'll forget this!

Get this as close to canon as possible, albeit with better acting. The only thing to bear in mind is that he's 20 now, but that shouldn't affect his voice too much??


He doesn't narrate the thing. He does have a lot of fight scenes, however, and will likely have a few moments that will require raising one's voice. Please remember not to scream from the throat, I don't want to be responsible for someone ruining their voice. :)

  • Come on, Fondue! We can still shake them!

  • Of everyone who could've found me here...Hah...It's nice to see you too.

  • I was hoping we could form a truce again, actually. You saw it yourself, Charlie. This isn't something you'll want to go into alone.

Ohh, we're getting to the good stuff. That's right, Isaac gets a scene in this one. His voice in canon actually sounded pretty awesome-Please try to get close to that!


Yeah, uh. You're going to be very important.

  • I'd argue that two years was far too long a wait. He's certainly unpredictable...

  • Regardless of how he seems, even Raphael's mind follows a pattern. One of our best men was able to manipulate it, even. Even then, however...I'd advise caution when dealing with him.


    More than that of the ones you sent after him today.

  • Of course, sir.

An original villain with ties to Isaac. Not much is known about him, aside from his associations and his hand in restoring Napoleon's body.


Go nuts with him, honestly, but keep these pointers in mind:


- I imagine him having an aged, gravelly voice, as if his body has been worn out from all the work he's done over the years.

- I imagine him being older than Isaac.

- I imagine his voice being quite deep.


While he's admittedly still in the works, his actor will be provided with more information.

  • Trying to act on that so soon...That was quite rash, Isaac. I can see where your son gets it from.

  • Humph. At least everything else has gone according to plan...It's quite impressive that you managed to get him to return here.

  • Come on back with me. We still have much to discuss about what happened today...

You're literally chasing this guy into a corner. Sould like you can beat up this one man army, because you can and you will.

You're the leader of this group, so you and another voice or two will be the most heard from the group. Feel free to lay on that French accent.


  • The amulet! Give it up!

  • Stay vigilant! He could still be around here somewhere...

  • W-Who-?! Somebody's found us!

Like canon, but with better acting :P As with the others, if you make her sound a little older, that's fine-After all, she's 19 now!


Please note that Marie is the narrator! She will be getting a lot of lines-Please be prepared for that when you submit an audition!

  • He's here?! Where are you?! Charlie!

  • Looking into his eyes, I realized my feelings towards him hadn't changed. This was the same Raphael that I'd known two years ago, the same Raphael who had been devastated when he'd been forced to break off contact.


    I never stopped missing him.


    As I glanced towards Charlie, it was clear that she was trying to hide her own feelings. She looked a little bashful, even.


    It seemed that she'd grown close to him when they'd worked together to save me all that time ago. After all, she clearly missed him just as much.

  • Ah...Ahaha! I just can't believe you're okay! You kept your promise!
