Ep 203 Script
🕑 Added 2023-07-24 10:00:02 +0000 UTClars, Tarokk, cepni and co entering cave with plants, tech, screens and medical equipment.
L: my life’s work, you could call it.
P: (looking at paused screen of roost hallway) now i know i was right to feel like someone was always watching me in that school. what is all this? you were just spying on everyone all the time?
L: I was in charge of monitoring conditions and gathering intel at The Roost. Unfortunately, since my rather unglamorous exit and the discovery of my cameras there has been a thorough cleansing of my eyes from the building. always ruining my fun.
C: i knew there was an operations manager planted, but i didnt even think they’d use a student for something so delicate. (glares at T)
T: Hey, Lars proved himself more than capable for the mission. just a shame it had to come to an end so quick, now we’re left a bit blind over there.
L: a few micro cameras remain, but nowhere useful. (looks at plant cams)
M: how are you here?
L: you didnt hear, Major? im on the run. there was something about my side experiments adversely affecting my test subjects that your Government didnt seem to like. i assume they disliked the surveillance system id set up even more, when they found it.
M: My Government?
C: surely you dont believe that drivel about the rest of the world being destroyed, Major? this Island isnt even that far from the nearest continent - how would it alone have been unaffected by any kind of mass-extinction, or destruction event?
M: i-
Lulu: …what …
T: (turns to lulu) and who’s this? a House Finch? i take it you werent at the Academy?
C: Lulu worked for the Brakindales before being brought to the Wastelands by Del Brakindale.
L: (smiles) del, you say? he was my finest work…the effects were slow-acting, a languid descent into insanity…a perfect test specimen -
Lulu: you - d-del was one of your test subjects?!
L: (grabs notepad) did you notice a change in his personality when he visited home?
Lulu: he - was missing. for ages. he seemed stressed when he was home, but that’s usual around his father. he came back after months and he seemed sad, but brighter somehow.
M: he told us you fed him when he was living in a cave, Amplo. and how his insanity led him to trying to stab Eldwode. multiple times.
L: (writing) mixture 104 led to increased delusions, and heightened impulses with a skew towards violence. interesting, interesting.
Lu: you made him almost KILL someone -
L: I didnt make him do anything, merely quieted the part of him that told him he shouldn't do those things. it seems it wore off eventually?
M: he was…relatively sane when we found him.
L: on the search mission the Director finally sent you on, despite you begging her to do something for months.
M: i had a duty to the students, even the privileged ones.
L: so noble, so noble.
T: will that nobility extend to your conscience and enable you to join a just cause?
M: join this - this vigilante group? who encourages the poisoning of innocent bystanders, imprisons staff, and marches them for days across wasteland at gun-point?
T: vigilante group? that’s cute. We’re The Resistance. and you’re gonna be shocked by what we’ve got to tell you, i promise.
tiraa, keelee and cici in kitchen. cici pulls cookies out oven.
Cici: and here we are - ah ah, wait for them to cool. (KL reaching for them looking disappointed)
T: cici you know an integral part of childhood is trying to eat scorching cookies and not learning from your mistake.
C: you certainly never learned, Miss.
T: (takes cookie, burning tongue and dropping on plate) and i never will
KL scrunches up nose. looks at cookies
KL: should we…give cyras one?
Tiraa surprised, hides it by raising eyebrow
T: just one?
KL: yes
Ci: you might as well, could be the last one he has for a while - (stops herself)
T: what do you mean
Ci: ah, Miss, i wasnt going to tell you until he left but…
cut to cyras looking out bedroom window. tiraa appears in doorway.
T: you were planning on leaving us? without saying anything?
C: that Chicken can’t keep her beak shut, it seems.
T: dont talk about her like that. answer my question.
C:. the news said the Crows involved in the wedding fiasco were apprehended. Crows have been transported near here, presumably to a prison. i dont believe in coincidences.
T: Your Murder abandoned you, you said so yourself. i know you feel responsible for them, but this is -
C: i am responsible for them. forever. even if i die trying to save them -
T: (quiet) you made promises to us, too.
C: (holds neck tattoo) im always too liberal with them, it seems.
T: let me help you. we can leave Keelee here for safety. I can help you rescue your Crows, then we can all leave this Island.
C: you’ve decided on it, then? leaving?
T: if i stay here I’ll be arrested, or worse - Bonded off to someone elseto try save an Eagle bloodline. you told me there’s an entire world out there that ive never seen. it’s sort of a no-brainer.
C: why try help us, though, when you could just leave the Island by yourself?
T: …i made promises, too.
C: your half of our deal was to spy on the Director from inside her own family and report back to me for the rest of your life. . i’d say that ship has probably sailed at this point, wouldnt you?
T: you upheld your part in it by rescuing Keelee. Let me do something for you. i dont want to owe you.
C: we’re even.
T: take me with you. i can help.
C: and how do you think you’ll do that?
T: you say theyre in a prison? I’ll walk right through the front door.

The GM for my current D&D campaign hates my foresight. He's had to rework a bunch of stuff because I totally called it.
Mari
Oh snap! We're gonna watch Tiraa get caught going into a prison. I agree with Franzi-- she's totally going to run into Reamer, who's talking to Neekia. I AM TOTALLY HERE FOR THAT DUMPSTER FIRE!!!!! (Not saying your work is a dumpster fire, wonderful Meg, but that the situation for them will be one) AND FOR THE EPIC TWISTS MEG IS GONNA THROW AT US!!!
Pilar Swanson
I'm here for the power couple!
