Ep 200 Script

scra doing sword poses.

Trainor Crow: not bad, newby. you may make Ashguard yet.

S: Come on Ky, you could use this training more than me.

K: im…good right here, thanks.

(people giving him curious looks. he tucks his wings tighter.)

T: come now, Osprey. show us what a private education in swordplay looks like.

S: hes pretty abysmal, im afraid.

T: really? im sure i can give him a few…pointers. (looks suggestively)

K: (voice tight) im good here.

T: well, be sure to tell me if theres anything else i can help you with.

scars hand twitches.

K: im fine, tha -

training crow gets legs swiped out and dagger goes flying towards ky.

TC: watch out!

ky avoids, wings fly out to balance. everyone stops dead. T looks at red feathers. nose wrinkles

T: Redguard.

Crows: whats that doing here - spying? - here to arrest someone? - corrupt - scum -

ree and f come up.

R: let’s get out of here. now.

T: dont come back.

back in rooms.

K: im sorry, i tried to keep them hidden.

R: it was working. we shouldnt have gone down there, i forgot what people think of you.

S: i didnt realise theyd …react like that. are the Redguard really hated that much?

R: you hate the soldiers on Kooup, right? It’s like that, but worse because the Redguard have been around for centuries, so that all Avarians have a bred-in distrust and general disdain for them.

S: i thought you were meant to be peacekeepers?

K: to keep peace, you sometimes have to do things others dont agree with. it doesnt make you super popular.

F: we’ll just have to keep a low profile while we’re here. shouldnt be too long till we leave, anyway.

S:... was the Crow back there…flirting? out in the open like that?

F: hybrids arent taboo herer, so inter-species relationships are widely accepted.

R: sometimes (quietly)

scra shocked eyes. turns to ky

C: everything is prepared for departure. as your presence here is no longer discrete, it is best we go now. are you all ready?

R: as we’ll ever be.

Lyr scene

L: (how much longer is this gonna take?? but more importantly - where are we GOING?? the secret passageway from the Academy changed to dirt walls like an hour ago, are we going through the inside of the canyon? im way out of my depth here -)

H: here we are, just up here. careful on the ladder.

opens up into cavern with computer equipment with farrah’s glow colour

L; this is…

H: a bit archaic, yes. the technology had to be as unrefined as possible to circumvent Government frequencies. ancient compared to your technology, im sure. right, now let’s send out a message to the Resistance calling for an all-operations report. somethings obviously gone awry if Farrah hasnt managed to get your monthly parcel to you.

L:( f-farrah?! surely he doesnt mean - is she involved in this?? - how - does that mean she’s -)

L:i..didnt realise it was Farrah I was liaising with. the Sparrow from last year, correct?

H: oh? yes, thats right. sorry, i thought it made sense that you both knew about your positions  since you were both close before she left.

L: (does that mean she…survived the Doves? what i put her through out of plain jealousy?)

L: you’re sure its her ive been getting the packages from this whole time?

H: should be, she’s in charge of our tech innovation and distribution.  either way, we should know everyone’s status in a few days.

L: whats your role in all this, may i ask? since we’ve both been outed.

H: me? im just a humble historian trying to right some wrongs. i mostly just keep an eye on things and my ear to the ground, as well as serve as a point of contact and handler to any undercover operatives. but you must know that if you were able to seek me out?

L: o-of course, i just didnt know if you had any other jobs id need to know about.

H: come, we better be back before someone notices our absence. i’ll let you know when we have a reply.

L: ok.

L:(if Farrah was in on this, does Ree have something to do with this, too…?)

Happy ep 200!
