WHO: Karin, Uzumaki Naruto
WHAT: Karin goes to the karaoke bar to take up Naruto's offer on them meeting.
WHERE: Meromero - the karaoke bar.
WHEN: Late Thursday, Sept. 10
WARNINGS: I don't even. Who knows, with them?

She'd pulled on her good heels for the occasion - not the new ones, which needed their own event, but the ones were long since broken in, and somehow matched almost every one of her outfits. In the large bag at her side were her work clothes, rolled up with a rubberband around them so they wouldn't take up too much space. Like hell was she going to go out looking overly professional (unless she was aiming for sexy librarian, which was always nice in its own).

It was the first time she'd had a chance to really go anywhere since she'd come to the city, because all those times she got lost heading home from work didn't fucking count.

The thought of how she'd recognise Naruto didn't quite occur to her, because they'd not so much as exchanged numbers (though Karin could find had his easily if she just looked a little, she was sure), but she'd always had a knack for picking someone out of a crowd. Though, she had to admit, she usually went looking for the hottest guy in the room if she had to pick any one person out of a group.

Crumpling the instructions she'd written down earlier on how to get from the Apple store to Meromero and shoving them in her purse, Karin made her grand entrance (which wasn't very grand at all, but she was there, at least).

Hey, if he could count the number of people he'd made cringe with his bad rendition of the English language he and Karin would probably be around the same range. Or maybe higher. There had also been the people who cried...

"Y'could go and complain to my boss. Good luck tryin' to find him," he spoke with a roll of his eyes before ducking down behind the bar to see what was stocked full enough so that no one would notice if a little alcohol magically disappeared. While down there he listened to the woman rattle on, laughing under his breath at the teasing tone and letting her trail on until she said something that stuck. Karin. Karin. Kar-

That's right! "Karin!" And admittedly he probably should have remembered there was a counter there before jumping up. First impression never were his cup of tea. Neither were concussions, but what can you do. "ShitshitSHIT- Ow. Ow- Hey. Hey, you're Karin. Naruto. I'm Naruto!"

He stood upright and rested a cool bottle of Kahlua against his aching head, wincing and leaning forward. "We just met and all, but do you mind telling me if I'm bleeding? 'Cus if I die and you steal anything I am so screwed."

Karin jumped a little in surprise when she heard his head meet the underside of the counter, deciding that he was as much a spaz as he was cute in that moment. And he was -- Naruto? He was Naruto? Really?

"Uh, fuck," she said elegantly, in English, because she had no better way to put it. Karin leaned in, squinting and adjusting her glasses to make sure she could see alright in the light of the bar.

"Looks okay, I think. You'll probably get a bump, but I don't see any blood, Naruto." She said the name as if to test it out and confirm that it was him, even though she figured he might think reassuring her of his name wasn't half as important as the potential concussion. Karin leaned back, not wanting to hover over him in case he jerked his head up suddenly again. "And if you're dead I think my stealing stuff wouldn't really be much of a worry to you."

Fuck was a word in English, amongst a few others, that he knew well. He had to laugh in spite of the pain, because after cracking your skull open what else is there to do? Save for the fact that his ears were slightly ringing Naruto was able to make it back up into a standing position, the bottle being set down onto the counter before he could drop it and a hand coming up to take it's place. He acknowledged her with a glance and laughed again, bringing his hand back down without any need to check for blood. Karin could be trusted. "You don't know my boss..."

Naruto was a character that could brush off his embarrasment easily, casting it aside and continuing on with business without skipping a beat. That was his job here anyway. And again, what was brain damage? Nobody will be able to tell the difference.

"Some prize I am, huh? Smooth ain't my middle name," he said with humor in his voice, twisting around to grab two frosted glasses from the cooler beside him. He'd need the alcohol once his brain stopped throbbing. "You come out all this way for me and look at what you got."

She laughted, lightly, and shook her head. Karin wasn't going to bother pointing out his being dead would sort of hinder his boss from doing much to pick on him, or throw a fit or whatever his boss did. It didn't really matter; he'd little more than a bump.

"You're entertaining, at least," she said, more pleased than she'd been in a long time, so it was a far cry from the dry sarcasm she usually addressed anyone else with.

"And - " Karin bit her lip, considering whether she should worry about boundaries in flirting (and whether or not she wanted to flirt, considering he wasn't exactly her type), and when she decided that she didn't give a damn, she leaned forward, elbows on the counter again. " - if you do wind up being concussed, I'm sure I could keep you company. You know, cause you're not supposed to sleep on a concussion."
