Day 0 08:00pm next to last "Red Spot" begins (a usual play start time) 11:00pm show ends (3 hour play) 11:30pm Cassie home, gets message 11:40pm finishes computer check (10 min later, p. 24) 11:45pm finish calling Sharon 11:53pm at Baskin Robbins (7 min to closing time, p. 27) Day 1 12:00am Cassie sleeps in car Start of certainty that Cassie will be involved. Reis could be informed here. 02:15am At Canadian border (Chase's time sense, p. 36) (It's about 372 miles from Springfield, MA to Buffalo NY, so they had to go over 140mph part of the way). 03:00am Start of walk up mountain 05:00am Start of ceremony, before dawn (2 hour walk, p. 33) ... 12:00pm Cassie wakes up (approx) 12:40pm Meet Sharon for lunch at Walkers 01:00pm Reis has lunch with India -- Reis must have play book in hand 05:15pm Sharon's show airs, showing Cassie and Gideon (p. 88) 08:00pm Last "Red Spot" begins 08:30pm Cassie sees Reis in audience 11:00pm Show ends 11:40pm Talks about taking Margaret to cast party (starts in 1hr, 20min p. 57) Day 2 01:00am Start of cast party 01:30am Cassie arrives at party (half hour late p. 57) 01:45am Reis gives gold bracelet 02:30am Leaves party with Reis, gets call (Tells Gid he's 6 hours late, from the time she saw Reis in audience, p. 70) ... 12:30pm Breakfast at International House of Toast (Chase time-sense p. 75) 12:35pm Reis takes bracelet from Margaret 12:40pm Call from Margaret to Cassie 01:00pm Arrive at bank 01:40pm Bank account business finished, Chase drops Cassie off 02:00pm Chase arrives home, gets shot 03:00pm Margaret supposed to come 03:15pm Margaret arrives (15 minutes late, p. 82) 03:30pm Sings "Walk in the Reign" 03:45pm Listen to newscast 04:00pm Chase enters apartment Day 3 01:00pm to meet Zelda at Greek place for lunch 01:30pm read-through begins 04:30pm read-through done 05:00pm measurements at home, answering machine calls, signs contract 07:00pm dinner date time If Reis is first informed that Cassie is involved by Sharon or Aaberg at about midnight, Day 0, he has 13 hours to create a plan for Cassie's destruction, write a musical, commission a bracelet, and travel from Berlin to Kingsport. No wonder we think he might be using time travel. (This assumes he wasn't lying about writing the musical and making the bracelet for her specifically.) --- ### David Duffy *17 Jan 2009, 05:52 · in reply to Dave Tallman* > On Fri, 16 Jan 2009, Dave Tallman wrote: > I though it might be useful to writ up an approximate time-line of the first > four days of AEG. Excellent. Does anyone know if Wolfe makes a timeline when plotting? It seems almost certain. > If Reis is first informed that Cassie is involved by Sharon or Aaberg at > about midnight, Day 0, he has 13 hours to create a plan for Cassie's > destruction, write a musical, commission a bracelet [...] No, he said he had the bracelet commissioned months age (presumably to have at hand to kill a dragon).

Almost everything he said there about the bracelet he contradicted in later statements to Cassie: 1) It was 14-carat gold. (No, 24-carat gold, 10 oz of solid gold). 2) It was commissioned months ago. (No, it was designed for her by someone who worked around the clock). 3) He didn't know who he was going to give it to until he saw her perform in the play. (No, he wanted to give it specifically to her, and he denied seeing the play). 4) He hoped she would love it and think fondly of him when she wore it. (No, he eventually admitted it was radioactive gold. He hoped to force her to wear it enough to get sick). --- ### Henry Eissler *17 Jan 2009, 19:49 · in reply to Dave Tallman* > Dave Tallman wrote: > > Day 1 > > 02:15am At Canadian border (Chase's time sense, p. 36) > (It's about 372 miles from Springfield, MA to Buffalo NY, > so they had to go over 140mph part of the way). It's Kingsport, dude. ---H --- ### Dave Tallman *17 Jan 2009, 21:29 · in reply to Henry Eissler* > Henry Eissler wrote: > It's Kingsport, dude. > Kingsport is fictional, so I can't get an exact distance on that. I used the closest known real city. ---
