This describes a setting that either is a presently empty public space that could reasonably become populated at any time, or a space adjacent to a public space, such that it could be seen or intruded upon by someone in the public area at any time. Examples could be semi-private areas within public spaces (e.g. changing room with poor concealment in a store or on a beach, stall in a public bathroom), public spaces at times that would generally leave them uninhabited (e.g. park at night), or out-of-the-way spaces attached to populous areas (e.g. alleyway in a city, below an in-use foot bridge in a park, behind trees or bushes next to a walking trail). Characters doing anything illicit in a semi_public space would run the risk of being discovered, whereas the expectation in a fully public space is that they most definitely will be seen or are already being seen. So, rather than engaging in exhibitionism, such that being seen is a goal, they would be engaging in risky behavior, such that being seen is a potential problem (see: enhibitionism), the thrill of the risk of which is the goal.
