003 | Dirk Gently | Day 113

[zen_navigator]

[Dirk flickers into view with what looks like plaster in his hair. He doesn't look especially happy.]

I have been here for over a month. I'm aware that many of you have been here for longer stretches of time. This does not change the fact that things don't exactly seem to be improving. Since I arrived, I've had a piece of mysterious technology strapped to my wrist, been surveilled, starved, had my mind invaded on who knows how many levels, and predicted something I could not stop like some sort of botched Greek allegory for human inefficiency.

[He growls, and the scenery behind him shifts, as if he's pacing back and forth in his bedroom. He's gesticulating wildly with his free hand, and barely containing the other from doing the same.]

There is nothing to do here except talk about how there is nothing to do here. I have made a map of locations of surveillance cameras which is completely useless, my cheese is entirely gone, and there's an entirely unnatural skylight growing in the ceiling of my bedroom!

[He ruffles a hand through his hair, dislodging a small cloud of plaster, and sighs.]

If anyone can help with the increasingly unsound state of my roof, please do let me know.

i wish i knew why alec is the way he is

You just took the fun right out of my day, man. [ It's not really him trying to be a dick. If he wanted to be a dick then he woulda gone for something a little harsher. It's just Alec's way of showing that he's cool with you. It's how Alec shows affection. If he can fuck with you then you're completely fine in his eyes.

He looks rather pouty about being denied the ability to call him curly sue. ] You're a big fun sucker.

[Dirk is used to being the one poking fun. He doesn't like it the other way around. And he is TONS OF FUN how dare he.] As it turns out, I've had another offer, so you don't need to come over after all.

[ He can totally poke fun at Alec, but Alec is good at dishing it just as much as he takes it. Though mainly he dishes it. He tends to pout when he has to take it. It's usually because Max is the one dishing it and he hates when she wins. It's horrible and it pisses him off. ] Is it because I called you curly sue? Is that melon crap still on the table? I can easily do something else. [ He wants that liquor, man. ]

[zen_navigator]

[Well, see, now he knows he's got a good bargaining chip. He's going to draw this out and see what he can get.] I don't know, not much around here to do.
