Now where was he getting this nametag from, exactly? She felt mildly impressed that he could even get himself around the place or that he'd even want to. She felt trapped already in her own little space next to the register with Pao-lin; she didn't want to think about wedging herself between all these sweaty bodies to get from one place to the other. Getting back up on her tiptoes, she scouted out Nathan's position and watched him shift and swerve his way carefully through the crowd until he reached...
Keith was there already! She hadn't even noticed him when she came in... Which, she realized, probably meant that their other friends might have been there around the place and she just hadn't noticed them yet. If Keith had been making as much of a fuss as he was right now when she walked in, then she was sure she would have noticed him. He was waving his arms animatedly at Nathan as he approached.
“Let's go see him, too!” Pao-lin suggested, tugging on the back of Karina's sleeve. “I'll hang on and follow you over,” she said, clinging to her shirt. That was a wise idea, lest the crowd try to separate them somehow. Pao-lin wasn't very tall and Karina had no doubt that she would completely lose her if they got pushed apart.
“Alright,” she said with a nod. “I'm not thrilled about moving in here, but let's do it. Can't sit in one spot at a party, can I?”
“Nope, you can't!” Pao-lin agreed.
And so began the somewhat difficult journey across the shop. As expected, they ran into a lot of sticky, sweaty people and had to apologize just as many times and they only got their feet stepped on a couple times before they finally reached Keith and Nathan's location toward the middle of the room. Keith had his 'kgoodman3958' nametag proudly displayed on his chest, waving to everyone who walked through the door. Around them, people whose names Karina didn't even recognize were greeting him back cheerfully.
“Wasn't this a good idea?”
Karina didn't know what to say. Yes? She hadn't been around for long enough to be able to tell yet if this was a good idea or not. Her instant reaction had been a big NO in all capital letters. She wasn't sure yet if Keith knew that Nathan had wanted to pair him up with other heroes in fanfics yet - though Keith did seem a little inept when it came to those kinds of things so who knew if he had ever figured out what that even meant.
“Our dear Karina needs a nametag, Keith sweety,” Nathan purred, holding out his hand.
Grinning, Keith pulled out a nametag from the stack he had in his shirt pocket and handed it over to Nathan, then Nathan handed it to Karina along with a pen.
She looked down at the small piece of sticker paper as if she had just been handed a gun. Instantly, she was flying through her memory, trying to remember if she had every said anything questionable to Keith online. No... No, she was pretty sure Nathan was the only one who had to worry. The only time she could remember talking to Keith herself was when he made his post about the meet-up.
Biting the bullet, she scribbled 'yukionna' across the nametag and stuck it to her chest.
Whatever. There. It was done now.
Pao-lin clapped her hands together next to her and then gave her a pat on the back. “You're one of us now!”
“I was always one of you. Both ways; online and off. D-don't talk to me like I've just become one of these internet people...”
