31 Plays in 31 Days, #17 - "Lord Seacourse"

One thing that's made this 31P31D difficult is the fact that I've been using it complete my draft of Base Instruments-- of which I now have a complete version 1, woooooooo! But while it has accomplished its intended goal of making me work on it every day, at that stage of the process I was writing the last few scenes. I find myself not wanting to post these scenes as they spoil the mystery, so I don't want anyone reading them without reading the entire piece.

So instead I find myself posting pieces I wrote at other times. I like having something to post, it makes me feel good and makes the challenge feel more tangible and complete, but it also kind of feels like cheating on the terms even though I AM actually writing new things.

Oh, well. The challenge doesn't mean anything in and of itself. The writing is what counts. And that is happening the way I wanted it to.

This scene is from Nathaniel's part in the investigation-- where he uses his burgeoning faceman abilities to befriend a target into giving him information. Except his wife and brother are present as well, so he can't operate as freely as he'd hoped to.
