WAKE UP [He wasn't sure how the hell he ended up in a forest when he was just on a bus, but given there was no wreckage in sight, he chalks this up to either a nightmare or some strange kidnapping. The familiarity of the forest irks him, the biting foliage creeps him out, but most importantly-- the picture in the drawer of an inn he's certain he's never been to has his skin crawling. He ends up pocketing it, digging through the room for any evidence of who used it, before he finally comes back out to find his answers elsewhere.
So either one finds him talking to the owner of the place and asking questions with an irritated expression, or he walks up to you instead with a slightly more pleasant expression.]
Hold on a moment. Can I have a bit of your time?
HEY [For any passerby who just happens to be in the area, they might hear the sound of loud cursing coming from the direction of the foliage. One young man can be found struggling, an arrow in hand and stabbing at the vines as he tries to pull his leg away from it. The bite of sharp leaves cut holes into his hakama, and Eisuke is none too pleased. He looks angry, but maybe that's just from a distance.]
Let go of me! Shit--!!
IT'S ALRIGHT [For anyone going through the labyrinth, they might find a young man crouching on the ground, digging into the dirt as he mutters to himself. It's hard to see his face when his hood is pulled up, hiding his expression. However, when one comes close, they'll see that rather than digging, it seemed more like he was trying to make a very visible 'X' in the soil, trying to mark the spot. It was bigger than necessary, deeper too, but the tension in his arm probably gives away the reason for it.
If you're coming closer, he'll look up sharply and stare at you from under the hood, at least for a moment. Immediately, he'll break out a smile and chipper tone, even as he pushes himself to his feet.]
Oh, I didn't expect to see someone else here. Hey, are you also lost?
