Lol. I misspelled 'Murderous'.
Also, you want Ruzela to help with the profile-writing? Or at least, consult. She IS CL, you know.

Profile samples from that murder mystery I attended. I expect the same kind of detail to go into the profiles. If that can't be done, well, let's keep it short and sweet.

There's a lot of pressure on us because what, you guys had a month to prepare for the thing?
Here's hoping we can give our guys a week. Or how about we release information on their characters a bit at a time, as we make them? Just so that they can actually make costumes and everything.

Or, you know, let's keep everything basic and on a psychological level. Let's your poetry the history, and keep it less than 300 words?

can we put up a general agreed upon "web" of relations here so we don't end up with a tangled one after we write everyone's profiles and your poetry?
something like this (I know it's a mess):
arrows mean it's a one-sided feeling

That makes sense. We can use this little piccy to cross-reference any relationship mistakes we might have made. The other characters don't really matter that much so we can keep everything mob-centric.

Yeah, once we get the profiles up, we can connect the dots. Also, we need a list of the characters with general one-line profile descriptions. So we won't have to elaborate on each and every relation a character has, but still have the ability to inform them of who's playing who.

PLOTTING
I talked to Patrick, and apparently I need to be exposed to the poison that weakens my tolerance to alcohol for an extended period of time. So that means Barnie's been giving me the tainted tobacco for at least a few months.
You'd think that that would throw my fake death scene out the window, right?
WRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG
Let's set it up so that I'm a recovering alcoholic. I haven't had a drink in nearly a year (before the tainted tobacco exposure). I first make a toast using, I don't know, sparkling water, then pretend to die, and then someone gives me a bottle of super-special wine, and then I drink it, then I die.
That makes the person who gifted me with the wine the prime culprit!!! But in reality, they're not.
If I'm not making any sense, it's because it's two in the morning and I just got here from SM Marikina. Let's clarify tomorrow. Or just text me. Hahaha.

TIMELINE
Phase 1
6:00
Everyone arrives in the Mourning Dragon. Cecil takes everyone’s coats, and Job puts arsenic in Giovanni’s coat.
They begin to mingle. Dante is not here, as he is in his office upstairs. Everyone else is present.
Cecil and Rowena will highlight Dante’s absence and spread the Diana rumor.
Shirley will go to Kelly and ask her to find her cat.
Xiao Ying focuses her attention on Giovanni and Johann will try to catch her eye.
6:15
Fatima approaches Rowena to talk about tobacco.
Beatrice confronts Fatima afterward about her machinations with the money launder/tea business.
Beatrice and Virgil will step out to talk, Cecil will notice this and tell Caterina, and proceed to follow them. If Johann sees this, he will keep silent and ready his reveal clue for Phase 2.
Johann will remind Shirley to not tell anyone about Wang's plan to get back with the Triads.
Giovanni, since Beatrice and Virgil are absent, will get his reveal clue out.
6:45 Giovanni and Xiao Ying will step out to have a quickie.
Fatima will approach Virgil and threaten him with the Wrath of God.
Dante will call Rowena upstairs but she will make a big show of refusing.
Phase 2
7:00 Dante will go downstairs, announced by Cecil. Dinner is served.
Wang will try to serve Dante poisoned food. Dante will always refuse.
If Johann saw Caterina trying to eavesdrop on Virgil-Beatrice conversation in Phase 1, he will get his reveal clue out to Beatrice.
7:30 Dante will make his fake toast and pretend to die.
7:40 Cassidy will present Dante with his gift, the pipe. Dante and Cecil will namedrop the duration and the name of the tobacco.
7:45 Kelly will present Dante with his birthday gift, the wine. Dante and Virgil will show that Dante has not drunk for three years. Dante pours himself a glass, drinks it straight, and
LIGHTS OUT
Kelly whips out her gun.
Johann rushes to Dante and is knocked out.
Giovanni makes a gesture of protection towards Fatima.
7:46 LIGHTS ON
a. Everyone sees Dante’s corpse, then Kelly with the gun. Virgil and Giovanni point their guns at her.
b. Virgil accuses Cassidy of killing Dante, since he is a cop, and that Kelly is his accomplice. Rowena will quickly check the body and say that there are no bullet wounds. Virgil and Giovanni lower their guns, but are still wary.
c. Virgil and Cassidy fight over authority over the case. Virgil will win through sheer intimidation.
d. Rowena makes an updated diagnosis, and says that he died of poisoning.
e. Virgil forces Kelly to drink the wine to prove her innocence.
f. Virgil orders everyone to split up. He prevents Cassidy from leaving and tells him to keep Kelly in line or else she will end up like her father.
Phase 3
8:00 Xiao will help Johann recover, then she will head to the kitchen.
Cassidy will pull Kelly aside and ask her who she is. She’ll tell him and form an alliance.
8:05 Giovanni will pull Fatima into the kitchen and tell her to tell no one about their love. Xiao overhears.
8:10 Giovanni and Fatima leave, and Wang and Shirley enter.
Wang leaves poisoned dish in kitchen absentmindedly. Proceed Mourning Dragon discussion.
8:15 Johann approaches Fatima and tells her about Giovanni’s condition.
Giovanni talks to Rowena, Beatrice, Caterina, Virgil, Kelly and Cassidy about the situation.
8:20
a. Virgil tells everyone in the dining room to search the place.
b. Kelly and Cassidy go to the kitchen to investigate the Mourning Dragon. Virgil tells Johann to keep an eye on them, and Johann complies and follows them.
c. Rowena and Giovanni go upstairs and talk some more about the murder.
d. Fatima will go to the kitchen and declare that her brother is a sexpot. Xiao will be especially affected.
e. Virgil and Beatrice stay behind. Caterina will be hidden. Cecil will be hiding in plain sight.
8:30
a. Virgil will banish Cecil, who complies. Virgil will then talk to Beatrice about the failed assassination attempt.
b. Shirley will get her reveal clue out, because Kelly and Cassidy will grill them.
8:45
a. Now that Shirley’s reveal clue is out, Kelly and Cassidy force Wang to eat the dish. He may eat it and die, or confess. Johann will try to do his best to keep Wang's assassination attempt from getting to the Valestris (which will most likely fail).
b. Virgil drops the letter and wheels Beatrice into the kitchen. Virgil goes upstairs.
c. Caterina picks up the letter and goes upstairs to tell Giovanni.
8:46 Kelly and Cassidy and Johann go into the dining room and discover Rowena’s notes. They also rifle through everyone’s coats and find the arsenic in Giovanni’s coat. Johann may or may not prevent them from doing this.
8:50
a. Everyone goes downstairs except Caterina and Giovanni. Caterina tells Giovanni of her discovery. Unless spotted by Virgil. Don’t be stupid, Caterina.
b. Everyone in the kitchen goes back to the living room.
8:55
a. Caterina goes downstairs.
b. Xiao goes upstairs and she confronts Giovanni. They go downstairs afterwards.
Phase 4
9:00 Critical scenes:
1. The Cassidy-Kelly Investigation – Cassidy and Kelly reveal Rowena’s notes and everything they discovered during phase 3. Rowena will react violently to this revelation. If Cassidy and Kelly find the arsenic, reveal this as well. Giovanni will try to defend himself. Someone needs to point out that Giovanni has no motive.
2. The Wang Murder Attempt - the information gets out, Giovanni and the other Valestris get angry. Xiao comes to her father’s defense, and Johann will be conflicted as to whom to support.
3. Giovanni’s Condition – Fatima will confront Giovanni about his condition and then reveal their "relationship" in public, effectively ruining his reputation and succession since INCEST IS BAD. Everyone will react accordingly.
4. The Virgil-Beatrice Assassination Attempt – if Caterina is successful in telling Giovanni this information, the “wounded” Giovanni will lash out and reveal this. Everyone react accordingly.
Phase 5
ENDINGS. DEPENDENT ON PLAYER DISCOVERIES

Thanks. Who's going to find the arsenic in Gio's coat again?
I'm just going to send them to you afterwards for printing?

I made some revisions to the timeline and I think I'll make one more for Ting-Ting.
The people who will find the arsenic are Cassidy and Kelly. Who will prepare the arsenic bottle?
And the format I'm using is:
Phase 1
Character Name
General Actions:
Specific Action/s:
Yeah, just send it to me. Do you have index cards?
