[ The video shows Eda in her pirate garb, clearly amused about something. ]

So have you noticed that these pirates are afraid of women? [ She laughs and snorts. ] Some big, strong pirates they are.

[ As it happens, there is a pirate nearby! Eda turns toward him. ]

Boo!

[ The pirate, mostly irritated, grumbles and puts some distance between himself and Eda, who breaks out into laughter. ]

Ahhhh, I love that. Fear me, pirates, for I am Eda, the Harpy Woman!

[ He's not sure they're afraid of all women, because he's seen her around, but... he did break a woman out of the brig earlier, so that's interesting. ]

'Harpy Woman'? What is that, a nickname?

[ His sister had a thing with harpies, and he remembers them being covered in a lot more tar. ]

[traaaaaash]

[ Look, she's been to the brig once and now she'll just harpy out and fly away whenever they try to catch her. ]

Uh, no. It's my power. Turning into a harpy.

[somebadnews]

Interesting. [ It's kind of niche these days to have one specific power. ]

Have they seen you turn into a harpy?

[traaaaaash]

[ Look, she USED to be able to do all kinds of magic, but... alas. ]

Not yet.

[somebadnews]

[ She sounds like she's going to do it just to freak them out now. Which. Is one way to be entertained, he supposes. ]

Then you could be right. I can't think of any other reason they'd be afraid of you.

Did they try to throw you in the brig yet?

[traaaaaash]

Not just tried. They're surprisingly sneaky.

[somebadnews]

And that didn't seem like an opportune time to turn into a harpy?

[traaaaaash]

Look, they tied me up and threw me in before I could do anything. I need a moment for my transformation!

[somebadnews]

[ Didn't even drug her? Why are you all terrible at this. ]

Right. Then taunting them as soon as you got out is definitely the best approach.

[traaaaaash]

As if I'll let them get the jump on me again.

[somebadnews]

[ Flatly does not believe her. ]

How did you get out, anyway?

[traaaaaash]

Well, they do let you out eventually.

[somebadnews]

[ ...then why did he bother... ]

They just let you go, no further questions?

[traaaaaash]

Only some grumbling about "behaving now, woman" or something.

[ Guess how much intention to behave she has. Just take a wild guess. ]

[somebadnews]

[ Well, that's moronic. There goes any lingering respect for pirates. ]

Nice to know I didn't underestimate their intelligence.

[traaaaaash]

It's very hard to do.
