Friday night main story happenings:
The study has cards and poker chips from previous night's game (Quicksilver, Green, White, Mustard, Burgundy, & Steel). Mustard and Green left earlier. Last two were White and Steel. Makes Steel look suspicious, but he left White alone later. Actually Pearl came down, drank a little with him, kissed him deeply (depositing the poison that she was partially immune to), said "You should know better than to cheat on your wife, especially with your daughter... Mother you can now rest." and then watched him pass out. She (his illegitimate daughter) poured some of his whisky on him and in his mouth and heads back to her bed companion. During the day she is ill (from residual poison she couldn't clean out of her mouth) but is mostly recovered by evening.
Periwinkle finds him "passed out" in the Study (he seemed stressed this week and must have decided to drink away his troubles). Had a bottle of whisky next to him and smelled drunk. She didn't want to disturb any of the guests and so tried to drag his body upstairs to his room. She heard a gunshot and someone coming - she was so shocked by both events that she dropped him (in the kitchen) and fled to her room... but along the way she changed her mind and went to Captain Quicksilver's room. (later inspector may press her on why she took his body the long way to his room - she can reply, hesitantly, that she didn't want anyone to see him in that state so she'd take him the back way). The drop (onto his front side) caused the pouch of pig's blood to burst in Mr. White's shirt (as planned to happen with the gun shot) and it looked as if he was shot in the chest.
Meanwhile, groundskeeper from South Terrace area was told to fire gun exactly at 2am and startled that side of the estate. He took off to his cabin, hid the gun, ran back out to meet with the few folks (Mustard, Grey, Steel, Burgundy, Cardinal) that came out to see what the ruckus was, and acted confused as well (one of the lounge doors was open). They all searched briefly outside for any clues and sign of the effect of the shot and then disbursed back to bed.
Maroon is outside servant entrance when shot is heard. Comes in to see maid running through billiard room. He then sees a woozy and gagging Mr. White getting up in kitchen by candlelight. He grabs knife and stabs him several times in the back full of rage. Hears someone coming from back way and blows out candle and hides in corner with knife. Captain Quicksilver came down back way (near Ball room) to investigate the kitchen area (armed with a lead pipe he grabs from the Billiard room). The kitchen is dark; he then trips over the body and drops the pipe. He assumes the body is Mr. White (where maid dropped him) and feels around to get his bearings and while doing so he feels the liquid from body while trying to find the pipe - could it be blood?!). He hears steps and sees candlelight (Mustard) - someone must be coming in from the Hall. Fear of what this may look like causes him to go back to his room the way he came.
Maroon grabs the leadpipe, knocks out Mustard as he enters room, places knife in Mustard's hand (Mustard has candlestick/broken candle from fall in other), writes "Rache" on wall in blood with finger, washes hands, takes off through the Courtyard (hides pipe in tree?) and back upstairs to room. Mustard wakes hour later, sees situation he's in (he doesn't remember anything from last few hours (including conversation w/Mrs. White) - did he do this?!), drops knife, hurries upstairs through Hall to bed keeping the candlestick from the hall.
Cook discovers the body early in the morning in kitchen. Why was he there? Body found on stomach with multiple stab wounds in back with knife next to it. Turns body over to find another wound (gunshot?). Finds piece of once lit candle on floor, too. Cook raises the alarm with the house staff first and the butler notifies Mrs. White. The cook and butler then move the body to the billiard room, clean mess in kitchen (how dare this spoil his masterpiece workplace!). Groundskeeper suggests bringing in Inspector Brown and to not alarm guests until he decides what to do.
The next day…
