TC Ep 286 Script
🕑 Added 2025-09-19 10:53:57 +0000 UTCfour + hon facing off against ky’s grandpa + guards.
Ky: Grandfather. I was told you were dead.
warden: And how many times have I warned you against idle gossip. If you did not kill me yourself with your bare hands, do not believe rumours of my demise. Now, grandson, I’ve heard you’ve been on quite the journey, with a notable companion. One who prefers to tell their secrets to criminals, it seems.
scra: you took cyras’ phone when he was captured, i assume?
warden: he did not put up much of a fight at the end, it has to be said. Came almost obediently, with none of his company around to witness it. Almost as though all that bravado really was just for show, after all. Not that I expected anything less, for a Crow.
Farrah: Cyras is twice the Avian you could ever dream of being.
warden: (sneers) quiet, Sparrow.
ree: you -
ky: why are you here, Grandfather? Dressed in that uniform?
W: the Director kindly made me prison warden to the highest offenders. I am simply here to escort four more inmates to their cells.
hon: what, no trial?
scra: even on Avarie we got a trial.
W: Fortunately we have no need for that nonsense, the government is far more efficient here on this island, as you will soon find out. Guards, apprehend this King. If the others are collateral damage, so be it.
[guards move in on them, they brace themselves]
Hon: (hey so I didn’t sign up for this)
scra:(why didn’t we get the Admiral to give us weapons -)
Ky: (stupid, STUPID -)
ree: (to the death, lads?)
K: (yeah. we’ve come too far to get captured now.)
ree: (fuck ‘em up)
[guard approaches Scra, Ky headbutts one and throws them into the one going after scra. ree in the background on someone’s back strangling them from behind as farrah kicks their shins. Hon does a roundhouse kick to a guard’s face, heels on. Ky turns to go after another and is met with a gun in the face. everyone stops.]
W: ENOUGH. [sneers at ky who’s protecting the others with his wings] You, my heir, entangled with these reprobates. The shame you have brought to our house, our name, our species. I had high hopes for you, but it seems as though your father’s defects were passed to you, also. They say the crossing of two species only results in weakened blood, I have seen the evidence of it with my own eyes now.
Ky: if that’s what you thought, why did you Bond with an Eagle?!
W: The willful blindness of the young, I did not think anything applied to me, until your father proved to be the embodiment of every warning we had received.
Ky: he’s weak because you always told him he was. What chance did he have, growing up and only hearing those words, only seeing your cold indifference?
W: He had a multitude of opportunities to prove his worth -
K: How? When everything he did manage to accomplish, you still disregarded? I’m not making excuses for him, but of course he gave up. There was no winning with you.
W: How is it that you turned out so accomplished, then? If my methods were so disparaging?
K: Because you’d made an example of my father, of course I didn’t want to turn out like him. I had to work harder, faster, at everything, just to meet your impossible expectations. It wasn’t by your merit that I was able to reach as high as I did, but my own. And I didn’t do it for you, or my mother, I did it for him, instead.
W: You were the epitome of what Eagle blood is able to accomplish. Until it led you, too, astray. All my effort wasted. The sight of you does nothing but disgust me. I will make sure you are locked away, to where I never have to set eyes on you again. [to guards] detain them.
kar(sparrow leader): I wouldn’t be so hasty there, Warden. And I’d call off your cronies real nice and slow, if you know what’s good for you. You’re outnumbered, I’m afraid. But then, you always are, we’re just too easily overlooked. And that will be your undoing.
[tons of guns trained on them, emerging from windows and ceiling boards like in sparrow hq with Brek and Magpies. Kar has emerged from where the warden did, gun lazily on shoulder. everyone shocked to see them, Farrah smiling.]
W: [sneering] Sparrows? Crawling from your crevices. You deem this cause worthy enough to finally show your hand? Throw your hat in the ring? Leadership has cost you your intelligence, Kar. There will be no slipping back into the shadows for you, now.
Kar: you’re right there, Warden. I don’t think leadership suits me. I think I’ll give it back to our real leader, instead. Lila?
[all turn to farrah.]
F: thank you for keeping the seat warm for me, Kar. I think the time for tactfulness is over. Sorry Warden, there really isn’t space to hold back anymore. Cuff ‘em. I’m sure there are some people in the Resistance who are just dying to see you again.
W: you don’t know what you’re getting in to, girl.
F: I could say the same to you, Warden, except you won’t be getting out of it, either.
back at it baby. I needed more of a break than I usually take to try get my brain right, get some house reno stuff planned and like take my gf on proper dates lmao, but I completed my re-read of the comic yesterday (only took 3 days yikes) so now I'm ready to start easing back into it. Gonna work a bit slower as I have some other things I'm also doing, and then the comic will relaunch when I've submitted ep 295, so we've got a few months yet, and when it relaunches I'll have already completed 1/3 of the remaining comic, which is both exciting and daunting lmao. what're y'all excited to see before the comic ends??
