Plotlines

As I join, there are four main threads: (1) Investigating Dr. George Phillips - who has something to do with a blood disease and is a figure from Dr. Ecker's past ; (2) investigating Reverend Frank Scott and his "sister" - a shady preacher who works with the poor at Clark Park (James O'Keefe is interested in the preacher for some reason); (3) the beating of Katie Flynn by her common-law husband Danny; (4) working with the Purple Gang (JT Williams is seeking to expand his business

Events

Starting in August 1932.

• (Session One - November 2011)

08/01/1932 - 08/04/1932

• Mon, Aug 1 -- Dr. Ecker, JT Williams, James O'Keefe, and Victor Grayson find themselves thrown together at the Irish Rose tavern in Detroit, owing to events relating to "Katie" Flynn. After a violent encounter with the tavern's proprietor (Katie Flynn is severely beaten by her common-law husband, Danny (proprieter of the Irish Rose)), the four men discover a hidden box which contains personal letters in French, a map of Los Angeles, and a medical journal. Dr. Ecker reads through the journal, which details a strange infection, with which Ms. Flynn appears to be inflicted.

• Tue, Aug 2 -- Led by O'Keefe, the group goes looking for Reverend Scott. Dr. Ecker, JT, and O'Keefe visit the Herman Keefer Hospital for Communicable Diseases, where Dr. Ecker has an old score to settle with Dr. Philips. The four men locate a 5th letter belonging to Ms. Flynn, which has already been translated to English. The letter raises more questions than it answers, with allusions to Weiss, Steele, Petit-Jean, Fae, Communion, Flynn, and Gautier).

• Wed, Aug 3 -- The group locates Reverend Scott at Clark Park. There is something peculiar about the way his sister paces behind the small group of people he is haranguing. They follow Mr. Scott, and he and his sister appear uncomfortably close. The group also follows Dr. Philips from the hospital. They steal some strange vials he has hidden in his car. JT sets up a meeting with the Purple Gang for Thursday.

• Thu, Aug 4 -- The four men meet with the Purple Gang at an Italian restaurant.

• (Session Two - June 2012)
• Fri, Aug 5 - Four people break into the Herman Kiefer hospital to investigate Dr. George Phillips, an old co-worker and rival of Dr. Ecker. They find a modified patient file on Vivian Cooper-Levitt. Meanwhile, Victor and Lila secretly go to talk to Katie (a.k.a. 'Heather') Flynn, who is sick. That night, James and JT stake out Dr. Phillips. They see a rich car drop by and Phillips exchanges a small object for an envelope. The car goes back to Vivian Cooper-Levitt's mansion, so this was probably her family buying a vial of the serum.
• Sat, Aug 6 - Three kidnap Dr. Phillips as he leaves from his golf game, and discover details about the Fae blood condition (without that name).
• Sun, Aug 7 - No one can find Rev. Frank Scott that day. (Lila has a dinner date with a boring cab driver Ralph.) That night, Lila has the journalist Lovejoy meet with Katie/Heather, bringing a discrete doctor with him - who turns out to be Dr. Walters (!). He gives her the injection of serum that Lila supplied from Dr. Ecker. Lila reciprocates by giving an interview with Lovejoy.
