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.

"Yes, temporarily. Complete with fangs, bloodlust, the apparent ability to climb up walls, and an obsession with counting. It was... unpleasant, to say the least."

Unpleasant was really putting it mildly, all things considered. He could go into detail on how Charlie had been turned into some kind of quasi-dragon, and how he himself had attacked several people, but he doesn't feel the need to make himself sound like an uncontrollable monster.

"Other people were plagued with similar difficulties."

He has to laugh at that. It might not have been amusing at the time, when he'd actually been stuck as a vampire, but now, thankfully, he can see the humor in it. "No, I couldn't turn into a bat, although I was led to believe that there are different kind of vampires, and that the kind I was simply didn't have that particular talent."
