Is it cheating to use truth serum to enable exposition?
@scutterman I would say yes, but if it's the only thing that works ... *shrug*

@inky It's a scene I wrote extremely fast during one NaNoWriMo, so I'm not especially tied to it.

Might keep it in the back of my head and see if there's other ways to surface the information, though it would be a shame to lose some of the lines. My double agent turned out to be hilarious when I doped him up 😆

@scutterman In that case, it might not hurt to keep it. 🤣
@inky I might keep it for world building but move most of the plot drivers somewhere else. Definitely something to note for the next edit pass.
@scutterman 👍 sounds like a good plan!
