[ Cordelia groans. ] Ugh! You’ve got to be kidding. I thought this was all over! Are we seriously revisiting this again? The claw marks, the boils, the burns. But wings? Are we going to be attacked by some wild demonic bird now

[She's...revisiting claw marks? Boils? Burns? Sounds like she used to work at Madam Finch's brothel above the Twelve Daggers.

Possibly best to proceed with caution with this one:]

You'll find, darling, that the only demonic birds in Luceti are the ducks.

Stay. Clear. Of them.

[Voice]

[quippable]

[ Hey! There be no brothel working here! Her life just sucks. ]

You seriously expect me to believe that ducks are a danger? Ducks.

[ This has to be a prank. It is quite obvious in her tone that she thinks you are trying to pull her leg just because she's a new feather. Face. She doesn't quite know the proper terminology of this place yet. ]

[Voice]

[lists_to_port]

I never said they were dangerous. Just said to stay clear of them, as they'll find ways to drive you absolutely mad.

[No lie: they are vicious and crafty.]

One of the many madnesses you'll find here, sure enough.

[Voice]

[quippable]

Right. Stay away from the ducks in order to protect my sanity.

[ She should really take this seriously, considering she has wings, but, ducks. They go quack quack and eat bits of bread you throw at them. She isn't quite adding the numbers correctly together for the moment. ]

Colour me curious. What other crap can I expect to be thrown my way? Apart from being driven crazy by ducks.

[Voice]

[lists_to_port]

That's really the only definite warning I can give you, pretty lass. The rest of it's far too unpredictable for that sort of thing. You seem the sort of lovely lady what will manage quite well, really.

[Voice]

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I guess I should be asking whether there's some sort of group out there who makes it their goal to combat all these unexpected things? Or are we just expected to roll with the punches?

[ And the ducks. Is there an anti-duck association? ]

[Voice]

[lists_to_port]

[The anti-duck association is population Jack Sparrow, actually.]

I believe there ARE do-gooding sorts of groups about. S.O.S. Brigade does some sort of thing...thingish things. Dunno. OH. Brave Vesperia used to be about? But they're wankers.

[Voice]

[quippable]

[ Pretty sure Cordelia will join that association shortly. Also the anti-everything association, if that's around. ]

Wankers?

You don't sound like you know a lot about this stuff. [ ... He's trying to be nice. And Giles' voice about tact is invading her mind right now. ] No offense. This stuff doesn't interest you?

[Voice]

[lists_to_port]

[He knows a great deal about it, actually. He's just being condescending toward these groups because he thinks they're prats. And he can't stand Adell.]

Hmmm? Heroing about? Eh. I did hijack Brave Vesperia's boat once?

[Voice]

[quippable]

Was it a successful hijack?

[Voice]

[lists_to_port]

Of COURSE. Why wouldn't it have been?!

[Except for the fact that Leonard McCoy had almost drowned and Adell tried to light him on fire.]

[Voice]

[quippable]

Just checking. You did say you hijacked this boat only once.

Is that the only thing you've done? Hijack one boat?

[Voice]

[lists_to_port]

First off, princess, I've hijacked many a ship--far more than my fair share.

SECONDSES---I'd have hijacked the Anna Aurion more than I did, save for the fact that my best mate nearly drowned after the bollocksed Batman buggered everything. Besides, theirs was a pitiful little boat and I've a much better one now what I keep out by the shore.

Thirdly---whyfor do you want a list of my many crimes?

[Voice]

[quippable]

[ Your resume is colourful. ] I wanted to see what type of hero you'd never own up to being. But it sounds like you're far from one.

Do people always end up almost dead when you perform one of your many boat hijacks?

[Voice]

[lists_to_port]

[The last thing he wants is this woman thinking he's some sort of hero.]

I've actually an excellent track record when it comes to keeping people alive.

The right people, that is. Fact. But you haven't told me much about yourself, darling, and I'm highly curious, now.

[Voice]

[quippable]

[ "The right people". She's starting to wonder exactly what he would classify as 'right'. And would ask if he didn't express wanting to know anything about her.

Excellent turning of the tables, Captain Sparrow. ]

There isn't much to know.
