Mysterious Unknown/Plot

This is a Plot Page, it contains material explaining the plot outlines of The Mysterious Unknown, people reading the story might not want to read it as it is a spoiler.

Episode 1
Roger and Moriarty meet for the first time. Roger goes from the Taxi to the Island apparently instantly.

Moriarty's memory loss is revealed.

This Episode is Complete.

Except: The first section could (should) be expanded to be a first person description of what a day is like in Rogers life (he will never again experience a normal life, so what his life was like before will be important.) but it skips the part where he's at work. Though his family might make some comment about him being a Clerk or something of that nature (he really isn't and what he is cannot be revealed because it's important to the plotline).

Episode 2
Skipping to another plotline, short descriptions of what some people experienced at the time of The Event, but what the Event is isn't revealed, just that people from various places on the planet looked up at the sky, and possible made some comments to the effect of "Wow!" (each one of these people should be realitivly far apart, i.e. try to go from continent to continent).

Followed by a few letters/journal entries/et cetera from the following years (up until 1904 or so) about how people who were perfectly ordinary before, begin to experience strange feelings around certain objects (a chair that causes lazyness/comfort, a deck of playing cards that causes anger, etc), and how they have a strange feeling of Deja Vu towards a stranger.

Episode 3
This Episode's plot is a work in progress (at least in part). Back to the Moriarty Roger plotline.

skip the part where the coast guard comes and they get back to shore.

Due to the fact that they were on the island illegaly (people aren't allowed on it) plus the fact that they were both a little injured-looking when they came to the research station, they are taken to the police station/similar place (maybe the coast guard questions them?).

Moriarty asks questions regarding his identity, and the police fingerprint him, and find that his name is J. Moriarty, tell him where he lives, they question him for awhile but then let him go. Roger is being asked a series of boring questions such as "What is your Name", "What year is it?". At which point it is discovered that it is the year 2008 and he is missing ten years (plus he didn't age). His son is eighteen or so and is in federal prison for hacking into the records for the company that Roger worked for (they never saw Roger at home the night he dissapeared, so his son thought his work was involved with it). He was declared legally dead at some point.

I am thinking that either Roger's wife is either remarried, dead, or neither. Remember that Roger is fifty something, so she is probably sixty something. (probably around ten years older then him). It might be easier just to have her be dead. Since none of these things would seem to contribute to the story, perhaps her being dead is best. Although, if she remarried, then Roger and his son might have common grounds on disliking the new husband, giving them a point of connection.

Roger goes and gets his son out of prison (he has connections, but I'm not sure whether he could do this)

Moriarty goes to his house, the address of which you will remember he got from his records. After entering (how he got through the door if it was locked I don't know). He looks around.

Examing the books, food, and music collections (there are alot of fruits, vegetables, classical books, Science Fiction, and some strange music CDs). Discovering he recignises the books and foods, but doesn't recignise the music, he puts one of the cds into the radio and turns it on.

A loud blast of noise (it's Death Metal) ensues, Moriarty feels uncomfortable about the lyrics of the song and dislikes the loudness, but he keeps listening anyway, fearing that not liking the same music might make getting his memory back harder. Eventually (not to long) a person comes into the house and turns off the radio, and asks him why he was listening to her music (her name is Penelope).

The music is her's, she lives in the house with him. She last saw him about a year before. He said he would be gone for about that long, she only moved in just before he left, the condition of her living in the house for as long as she wanted was that she would keep the house supplied with the specified food and that she would help him by reminding him about anything he asked about. He said he would not remember having met her. Moriarty asks her some questions. The books and food are his, the music is all her's, except for one home made CD. Which turns out to be static (Brown noise I think it's called). She would know what his first name is (the police only knew it was J.) [note: I don't think I've decided what his name is, it's probably John]
