Ahem, I need an agent with a little spare time to fetch me some info if they are interested.
I can offer something in return if they like, but I need someone to compile the information about date and quest and any other information you may have about the most recent turn of events so that We can add it to the Gaian history timeline in the stickies above.
*points up*
EDIT: Alright, having had the bare facts laid out here for inclusion in the plot guide, I now repurpose this thread for any and all information relevant to the plot, including relevant item info and etc.

This is a little resume, after all, most of what we have are rumors xp Gaians started to recieve mysterious PMs from Edmund and the Von Helsons, who were thought dead until that point. Both NPCs ask that you come and talk to them; Edmund will ask if you can go and buy for him Garlic and Black Orchids, both objetcs that are believed to help repele vampires: the Garlic for obvious reasons, and the Black Orchid because it's said to have held the power of the weed "Wolfsbane", weed that's used to keep Dracula out of households. The Sisters, on the other side, will simply ask you for money because after the accident they've lost all their money. After giving them the items/money, they gave a brooch: Edmund gave a "Black Orchid Brooch", and the Sisters a "Blood Drop Brooch". Some of the theories say these brooches change the one who's wearing it into a werewolf or a vampire. Besides, we've recently heard of three new NPCs, [NPC] Vladimir Von Helson, [NPC] Louie Von Helson, and [NPC] Zhivago (name needs confirmation). Their involvement in the current plot remains a mystery, but we know that Vladimir is the father of Marie and Anna Corine Von Helson, and most Gaians think Louie is their brother. TinHawk Possible meanings of the Black Orchid: In the 1935 movie, "Werewolf of London," a botanist was attacked by a werewolf after finding a "Dark Colored Orchid." This Orchid was said to have held the actual powers of the weed "Wolfsbane." When you search wikipedia for "wolfsbane" you get results for the herb "aconitum" (also known as "monk's hood" and "wolfbane"). Aconite has been ascribed with supernatural powers relating to werewolves and other lycanthropes, either to repel them, relating to aconite's use in poisoning wolves and other animals, or in some way induce their lycanthropic condition, as aconite was often an important ingredient in witches' magic ointments. In folklore, Aconite was also said to make a person into a werewolf if it is worn, smelled, or eaten. They are also said to kill werewolves if they wear, smell, or eat aconite. Wolfsbane is used to keep Dracula out of households. Possible meaning of the Blood Drop: I can't seem to find much on the Blood Brooch. The only thing I have regarding this item's relevance is that, in some books (mainly Anne Rice's novels), wearing a vial of a vampire's blood shows other vampires that you are a vampire's friend and that by drinking your blood, you are going to have to deal with one pissed vampire. Vials of blood are often worn by the "vampires" of our society, though I can't figure out why.

@Nite Lewis: I suggest you also include Edmund's sense of urgency in his request, something about the Von Helsons' change in appearance, including scars and pointier clothing, and the creepy things the sisters say when you talk to them ("You look delicious tonight," etc.). Also, based on Ian's inclusion in the wallpapers, he will probably be involved in the new plot event, so that could be good to mention. Finally, the sisters are in a dark alley- what is up with that? and they are winning the support of more Gaians as of yet. Oh, and the Garlic and Black Orchids are from Rina's shop- that could also be significant somehow. Oh yes, and Edmund says his brooch is a token of gratitude while the Von Helson sisters tell you it shows that you're on their side. Both seem significant.

July/08/07: An Urgent PM was sent from Edmund to all the Gaians that could help. He only asks for two things. He needed garlic and orchids. He states that he cannot go and get them himself for he fears those watching him will notice. The two items are soon found in the flower shop run by Rina in Barton town. Once the items are brought back to Edmund, he gives a garlic scented orchid brooch. Soon after the first Edmund Quest: Another PM is sent by the Von Helson sisters. They present themselves in a dark alley in tattered clothes and one has various scars on her body. They both have the right half V-Pin on. They seem paler than usual as well. They ask for a donation of 500 gold. It seems they need money since the tower fell on their house and all their cash. They discuss various things as you talk to them, such as out for a bite and you look delicious. Once the quest is finished, they give you a blood drop brooch. Many believe them to be vampires. The clues so far seem to agree with that rumor. Not long after on the same day: There appears to be status bars of some kind for both Edmund and the sisters. At first it looked as if Edmund would win, but the sisters leaped ahead and has stayed in the lead ever since. What the outcomes will lead to are unknown. New skins are a speculation. Some even believe Edmund to be werewolf, however no evidence has shown up to support that.
July/11/07
Cindy Newsletter Many Gaians have reported receiving mysterious messages from prominent Gaian characters recently-- rumor has it that Edmund, shopkeeper and associate of Johnny Gambino, has been requesting contributions for some manner of secret project. In a bizarre twist, the Von Helson sisters, long thought to have died in the collapse of the Tower of Gambino, are rumored to be alive and well. Action News has no further information about these strange events, but we'll keep you posted as new details emerge. There are many Gaians that believe that Edmund and Gambino have teamed up to help stop the threat of the vampires. A lot think that Edmund will be the next hero of Gaia. However, there are a few that believe the two to be up to something more sinister. July/13/07 As people visited the status page for the bars of Edmund and the sisters: gongs of a clock can be heard every half hour. Also, wallpapers were released of Ian, Louie Von Helson, and Vlad Von Helson.

Gongs really sound every half an hour? Because if that's a saying, I haven't heard it xP And my sound is dead.
