I'm sure there are as many ways to do this as there are writers, but I tend to do it in stages, as I have a hard enough time keeping track of my own characters and all their varied motivations as it is.  First I write the "A" conflict:  Bob and Carol are arguing about X, which happens to be the main conflict that furthers the plot. I get the gist of their argument written; then I go back and add Ted, who has his own agenda, to the conversation, creating a "B" conflict as well as a bit of character development for Ted.  Meanwhile, Alice, on the sidelines, just wants to find the ladies'--that's "C".  Then Tom chimes in--he really, really needs to talk to Carol about something RIGHT AWAY, and it can't wait; that's "D".  Dick tries to get Ted, who's had a few too many, to calm down, and you have your "E".  Meanwhile, Harry insists upon playing the background music at concert level, and they all have to scream over it, until somebody suggests taking the whole thing outside.  And so on.

Reading the above reminded me of what takes place in play's a lot, especially comedies (Suggested reading or viewing: Noises Off by Michael Frayn).  Basically, you have a bunch of one on one squabbles happening at the same time, with an attempted attack or defence in one squabble between A & B inadvertenly tips the scales of another squable between C & D in D's favor, but A & B are on C's side, so now A, B, and C have to stop D, but then E comes in and starts squabbling with C, but D could care less about A & B and would really like that Thing C took from him back, but now E has it and both C and D are trying to get the Thing from E, who is A's best friend,  so A tries to protect E from D and asks B to help so D won't get the Thing, but E is B's ex husband and she'd rather see D get the Thing than help her ex in any way, that rat bastard, and desides to break a vase over E's head instead. 

The tension is built by a rising fustration level as each person takes an action. 

Don't see why the same weaving couldn't be appied to a dramatic scene.

Something is going on with Molly, though.  I think after that soul gaze with Thomas she was going to try to "help" him by mind bending him away from his demon, and THAT would not be a good thing at all.  She could see it as just another adiction, and now that she "knows better" she can take care of it correctly.  She also may have been nudging Harry in some sort of direction for some reason.  She picked up quickly on what Pebody was up to with the nudging he was doing, and she was trying to read Luccio and Morgan's brains - such things could be considered Grey Magic.

If someone's shapeshifted in to Molly, the only person I can think of who Mouse would'nt raize the alarm on would be Mamma Margret.  Mouse would know if Molly wasn't Molly, so if Molly isn't Molly, then Mouse has to be willing to protect whomever it is that is Molly.  If Mouse thinks Margret is there to protect Harry as well, they may have made an agreement. That would make that scene with Thomas more about a mother trying to help her son who's in pain than a love struck teenager hit by a combination of vampire lust and soulgazing compassion.

She dosen't have to be Molly all the time, either.  The real Molly could be dropping in for lessons and such and false Molly drops in at odd hours and just nudges Harry not to mention it when real Molly's around.  Maybe that's a bit to complicated, but still possible.  Here's the question... When is Molly's cooking good?

Did you see who I cast for Shiro?

HAHAHA!!! Yes I did miss that   Skipped right over Chuck for Betty.  Age befor beauty, I guess.

Mother Winter and Mother Summer would have been in control of things before Mab and Tatiana

... and they were all voted off the planet save MAB!

I'm finding it rather spookie that Little Chicago's missing and Harry dosen't know.  I just figured it was under the tarp, but did find it odd he didn't use it.

I'm imagining this in a role playing situation
Player 1: My brother's missing and he's in trouble.  I'll just use Little Chicago to find him.
GM: What's Little Chicago
Player 1: My replica of Chicago I spent all that time building.  It's sitting on that table over there.
GM:  All that's sitting on that table is a tarp... and that's all you remember ever being there.

So either it was under the tarp and he didn't "notice" it, or someone nicked it along with all his memories of it.  I like the idea of it being nicked.  That way it still exists and wasn't burnt up in the house fire.  Eck! would real Chicago have burnt up if Little Chicago did?  It has been described as a voodoo doll of Chicago before.

I didn't like it and I didn't see it and I'm not a DBZ fan LOL (back to topic)

I didn't see this movie, but I did enjoy the Indian version

Nicodemus it is!

Like the James and Sarah picks, too!


MMmm what about Molly Cyrus for Molly?
