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.
> NEW YEARS. What better way to start out the new year than to learn that everything you know is a lie? Or if you are already acquainted with the network pass out some resolutions.
> A food fight has just broken out in the cafeteria. Join? Flee? The choice is yours alone.
> Wild Card! Make up your own.

That's more than good enough for me.

[And then the tone from the odd banter fades, when Max says that. Nick's expression remains the same, and he doesn't move from his position, but his demeanor changes, from absent joking to slightly tense.

The average person probably wouldn't notice it, but Nick doubts it'll escape Max's notice.

There's likely only three ways that he could have find out about that - either from one of the corrupt cops, from a network member, or from the network itself. He isn't sure which one he's hoping for.]

How about we take an early lunch, and you can ask me about these rumors there? My treat.

[Wow, information AND a free meal? This was going better than Max had expected it to. So, naturally, he's grinning like a jerk.]

Sounds like a plan to me.

[...it's probably going to end up more like 'getting grilled for information and then reluctant reveal along with free meal,' but close enough.

He stands up, handing the helmet back over so he can shrug into his coat and start out.]

Come on, I'll drive.

[Max rolls his eyes ever so slightly. Of course he wants to take a car. Psh.]

Okay, okay. You're the boss.
