[Louis groans awake, because that's not a comforting noise and he doesn't recognise the voice whispering at him. Not a restful combo. He moves to put a hand to his head and feels the tug of the chain. His brow furrows as his eyes open to land on the chain around his wrist. He follows the line of it to... oh good. A complete stranger. ]

What the fuuuuck? What's even happening? What's with the chain?

[He catches sight of the shamisen, and that is somehow the thing that makes everything better.]

Holy shit, is that a shamisen? I've never seen one in real life. Is it yours?

[Priorities. He does catch the noise of...whatever the fuck is in the maze and glances that way. ]

Oooooor we could just deal with that bullshit, I guess.

[Boo, Deerington, he was going to enjoy some Music Talk. Why do you have to be like this? ]
