TEST DRIVE MEME

> The Park. Man, what a nice day out. Why not enjoy it? I'm sure -- shit, yep, there's some echo monsters.
> The Mall. Exactly what it says on the tin! Dodge the hordes of teenage mallrats or take part, whichever suits your tastes.
> Rainy Day. Agh, it's fucking awful out. And is it raining those vermilion things?? Now you've got an Echo to contend with on top of everything else. Find some shelter, quick!
> PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, HOW FUN
> The most horribly kitschy Arts and Crafts Fair you can imagine.
> Wild Card! Make up your own.

The kid doesn't need Varric to tell him how little he really belongs there. It's obvious enough just by glancing at him. A smirk tugs at the corner of Riku's lips. "You don't take the bus that often, do you? As soon as you set foot on that first stair, everything about you became fair game for speculation. Frankly, I'd be more worried if you weren't getting stares right now."

The quick, uncertain glances? Those are normal enough. Those mean she'll be going to her neighbors later and telling them all about the fellow on the bus she saw. It's when people are pointedly not looking in your direction you have to worry--those are the people that are more likely than not to get off the bus and immediately point you out to the nearest LEO.
