31 Plays in 31 Days, #18 - “Blond Salvation”

Okay, did a little better after not having much of any ideas for yesterday. Still another scene from Adonis, but the next part of the story, once the rebellion is underway and they’re trying to find allies. This scene would come before a scene from many years ago, 31P31D 2015’s #21 - Britannica Gloriana. I had this idea for a character who was the child of the conqueror of Britain who lived in a position of power and honor because of it, but had never accomplished anything herself and was bored and a little self-loathing. She’s meant to go on a journey in contrast to our other privileged heiress character, Pavilla, who is monstrously entitled, and decide to forge her own path. This scene shows Aidan approaching her, establishing her character, but also giving a chance to explore another concept that is consequential of the cultural gender flip— that Aidan’s personal charisma is a tool he’s obligated to use if he’s going to push the cause of the rebellion… but he doesn’t like it and finds it painful to do so.

It also has some lines I love and have wanted to incorporate for years.
