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.

My parents were drinking with their friends, too. That's why they couldn't take me home.

[indy_wannabe]

Just to check, you have your key right?

[maven]

[ :( she nods but looks a bit put out that he has to ask... She doesn't blame him, considering the rest of her naivete with the buses and theft, but... ]

[indy_wannabe]

OK good. What's in that anyway? It looks heavy.

[maven]

Keyboard!

[indy_wannabe]

Oh nice. Do you play well?

[maven]

Yes. [ If Sona has confidence in anything about herself, it's her music. Second place is her measurements. ]

[indy_wannabe]

What do you play? Classical? Pop?

[maven]

Mostly classical, but I enjoy both.

[indy_wannabe]

Cool. How long have you been playing?

[maven]

Forever.

[indy_wannabe]

Figures. Your parents have you in lessons early?

[maven]

[ Sona nods confirmation. ]

And before them I taught myself.

[indy_wannabe]

Impressive! Were you doing the Mozart thing, composing symphonies at 5?

[maven]

[ She pauses mid-step to consider this. She finishes writing before resuming walking; ]

Nothing so impressive, no.

[indy_wannabe]

But you were doing similar things weren't you?

[maven]

Maybe.

[indy_wannabe]

I had a feeling. Do you tend to perform for the parties your families go to?

[maven]

[ Another nod to save her from writing out a yes. ]

I'll pay you in music when we get to my house.

[indy_wannabe]

Cool, I'm looking forward to it.

[maven]

[ Sona starts considering what song/s to play for him, but in the mean time, smiles and points over at a small crowd setting off fireworks in the street. Look at the pretty!! ]

[indy_wannabe]

Did you want to stop for a bit?

[maven]

[ she shakes her head, then hurries to write on her notepad: ]

Just enjoying as we pass.

[indy_wannabe]

That's fair. You a fireworks fan then?

[maven]

[ Her smile widens and she nods enthusiastically! uwu fireworks are pretty, and honestly she's kind of smitten with things that make interesting sounds even if they're not music, so the big booms of bigger fireworks always captures her attention. ]
