X marks the spot

Who: Dirk and OPEN
What: Productivity is the enemy of something or other. Map making.
Where: Out and about
When: Day 95

In an effort to get a better idea of the lay of the land, Dirk has made a rough map of the town, complete with all buildings, pathways, and obtrusive foliage. Like most of his projects, however, Dirk's map has quickly transformed into something obtuse and oddly managed. His current project is cameras. If he can mark down where every camera is, he hopes it will reveal where there aren't any cameras.

He's assuming for the moment that all of the buildings are wired, so he's starting outside.

Starting in the early afternoon, Dirk works his way across the town starting near the lighthouse and eventually working his way back through the town. He's trying to be systematic about his recording, but it's hard to be systematic when some of the cameras are so easy to miss. He climbs a few trees with his red pen tucked behind his ear, he peers up into the eaves of buildings, he checks under benches and around shrubbery, and he's filling up his map with small red triangles.

"I probably was. Don't take it personally."

He's a prick to everyone, after all. He shakes the proffered hand all the same though, a little more firmly than is entirely comfortable but then, he is an archangel. It's easy to forget his own strength.

"Dirk Gently, huh? Bet you got bullied in middle school. I'm Loki, as I might have mentioned. Enchanté."

"Eh, that's not so bad. Didja get called Jelly Baby? Jelly Bean? It's almost affectionate... 'almost' being the operative word there, I think."

Needless to say, Dirk will never again be called Dirk by Gabriel. He probably shouldn't have told him.

"Imaginative? Well- yes, I suppose so. Dad was certainly very creative."

"Any time, pal. I'm here to help, after all. Have fun with your map, kid."

He hands the pen over, too, and disappears in a puff of smoke. He always did have a flair for the dramatic.
