The relatively scrawny young man who shuffles into the bar looks very much like he's just rolled out of bed. His hair is tousled, his Pac-Man tee is rumpled, his boxers are... well, boxers, and he's only wearing one sock.

He looks around, blinks, and decides that this is somehow Bennet's fault.

"Dude," he sighs, turning to face the door through which

Or it could be rea, and that boy in the bright orange outfit could also be real.

"Oi!" he said loudly, " You're in the way! Dattebayo!"

[wannab_hokage]

"yeah," said Naruto, "I guess you could say that."

He grinned.

"Come on! dattebayo!"

[merlinianblood]

"...okay."

Dave, at a loss, figures he may as well follow the weird kid.

Why not, right?

[wannab_hokage]

Naruto lead him to the Bar.

"Hello, Bar-san," he said happily as he scrambled onto a stool and patted her surface.

"This is the Bar," said Naruto, "She's nice. And.... uh, I don't think I got your name."

[merlinianblood]

"...hi, uh. Bar. I'm Dave."

He gives her surface a little pat, because why not?

Everything is clearly insane today, so he's just gonna go ahead and join the party.

[wannab_hokage]

A not popped appeared on her surface in front of Dave.

hello, Dave

"Dabe, I'm Naruto," said Naruto holding out a hand in greeting.

[merlinianblood]

Sorry, Naruto. Dave can't shake your hand because both of his are currently cupped over his mouth to muffle a scream.

[wannab_hokage]

Naruto looked from the note to Dave. He leaned over and whispered at her surface.

The note melted away and was replaced by a bowl of miso ramen, and a chocolate milk shake. With another note, From, Naruto. Naruto had the same thing appear in front of him. On the surface of the bar a few coins and a bill disappeared on at the same instant.

Dave eventually removes his hand and takes a few deep breaths.

"Okay... okay. What just happened? Is that... is that real?"

It certainly smells real, and Dave loves ramen, and Dave is hungry, but WHAT THE HELL?

[wannab_hokage]

"Fraid so," said Naruto, "Come on don't let it get cold."

He lifted his par of wooden hashi, slipped them out of their paper sleeve and broke them in half. Whatever he did, he wasn't gonna mention the window yet. He didn't want to have to get a medical person to take care of this guy.

"Dabe," he said, "It's real good ramen."

[merlinianblood]

Naruto is pushy enough that Dave caves in pretty quickly, sliding up onto a bar stool and digging into his own bowl.

When in Rome, right?

Or... when in Crazyland.

[wannab_hokage]

"Ittatakimas!" said Naruto happily and he dug in.

Eating ramen is sometimes not too pretty( at least to our western ideas of maners). Naruto looked over as he ate and tried to smile around his noodles.

[merlinianblood]

"Yeah! Whatever!"

...at least he's cheerful about it?

Anyway, Dave's been living with his friend Bennet for three years. What Naruto's doing right now? Dave's seen worse.

[wannab_hokage]

Naruto swallowed his mouthful.

"It's what you say before you eat," he explained, "Don't you do something like it?"

[merlinianblood]

"Oh. Uh. I guess?"

Sometimes?

"Like... bon appetit. Or bottoms up."

Pause.

"Is that Japanese you're speaking?"

[wannab_hokage]

Naruto nodded then shrugged.
