Conversations[edit | edit source]

Hero Complete? Notes Audio Transcription
Bebop Yes

Abrams: Hey Bebop, just do me a favor. If I'm punching someone in the face, please don't knock 'em away.

Bebop: Do my best, mate, but I make no promises.

Bebop: Now I'm not trying to cast aspersions detective, but in my experience, organics don't tend to last long in a fight.

Abrams: Pal, the only thing you gotta worry about is keeping up.

Abrams: So what's your deal?

Bebop: I punch things. How about you?

Abrams: Pretty much the same.

Bebop: Oh, this is gonna be fun.

Dynamo Yes

Abrams: You ready for this, Professor?

Dynamo: Mr. Abrams, if you think this is the first fight I've been in, you've never played pinochle in Bristol.

Abrams: Stay close to me Professor, I'll keep you safe.

Dynamo: Detective, I was about to say the same thing to you.

Dynamo: I... don't suppose I could... take a look at that Tome, when all this is over?

Abrams: Professor, if things go our way, there won't be a tome for you to look at!

Unlocked in Geist's visual novel

Dynamo: I heard a rumor that you moved in with Lady Geist.

Abrams: Don't wanna talk about it.

Dynamo: Who would have thought that a simple business card could have started a star-crossed romance!

Abrams: Nothing romantic about it, pal!

Dynamo: Not yet!

Abrams: Not ever!

Abrams: Sorry about crashing your party.

Dynamo: No apologies needed, it wasn't my party. Did you ever meet up with Lady Geist?

Abrams: No. Never called back.

Dynamo: Sorry to hear that.

Abrams: It's probably for the best. I heard that woman is bad news.

Grey Talon Yes

Abrams: You know they're gonna have guns, right?

Grey Talon: Yep. They're also going to have arrows through their necks.

Abrams: Fair enough.

Grey Talon: You remind me of my stepdaughter.

Abrams: Son married an Ixian?

Grey Talon: Yeah.

Abrams: No shit! Tell you what. We survive this, I'll take the whole family out for a drink.

Grey Talon: That... that's a nice thought.

Abrams: Talon, I know you don't care if you die, but I am highly motivated to stay alive. So please, don't do anything stupid.

Grey Talon: Don't worry Abrams. I'm not dying until I have my revenge.

Haze Yes

Abrams: You like being a Sandman?

Haze: I'm good at my job.

Abrams: That's not what I asked.

Haze: Stay focused on the task at hand.

Haze: You should consider working for the OSIC.

Abrams: I think you guys have enough people who can kick down doors.

Haze: We do. We don't have enough guys who care what doors are getting kicked down.

Abrams: You're not gonna leave me out to dry, are you?

Haze: You may not see me, detective. But I promise you, I'm doing my part.

Holliday Yes

Abrams: You're the sheriff from Macomb, right?

Holliday: Yeah.

Abrams: I'm so sorry.

Holliday: Thank you.

Holliday: You got a plan?

Abrams: Eh, I don't know... I was thinking you grab them and then I punch their skull in!

Holliday: I like it!

Abrams: Holliday... I don't suppose you're related to...

Holliday: Yeah.

Abrams: Long shadow!

Holliday: I try not to think about it.

Abrams: Eh, let's make him proud.

Infernus Yes

Abrams: Hey Fern, next time you're pouring me the good stuff, remember all the times I saved your life today.

Infernus: You got it buddy!

Abrams: So when's the last time you went to Ixia?

Infernus: Never.

Abrams: You gotta be kidding me!

Infernus: New York born and raised baby!

Infernus: I haven't seen you in a minute, brotha.

Abrams: Yeah, case I've been working's been... consuming...

Infernus: Are you okay?

Abrams: After today... I will be.

Ivy Yes

Abrams: So, you're the savior of Spanish Harlem, huh?

Ivy: I really hate that nickname.

Abrams: Heh. Not looking to be deified?

Ivy: I just wanted to make my neighborhood safe.

Abrams: The city owes you a debt for taking care of Mendoza.

Ivy: I'm not owed anything.

Abrams: Humility is good, but word of advice. Don't undervalue your worth.

Ivy: So, a private detective is a job where you help people, but charge them money?

Abrams: Help is relative. I'm pretty sure a lot of my clients wished I wasn't honest about what I found.

Ivy: That's depressing.

Abrams: Truth usually is.

Kelvin Yes

Kelvin: If we work together, victory is assured.

Abrams: You're... the most confident dead man I've ever met.

Kelvin: My friend, the grave has no time for pessimism.

Abrams: You, uh... hot in that thing?

Kelvin: Revenants don't really sweat.

Abrams: Huh. Checks out.

Abrams: You're worried at the last minute that the Patrons are gonna screw us?

Kelvin: Detective, now more than ever we need hope, not skepticism.

Abrams: Hope doesn't keep you alive.

Kelvin: Trust me, my friend. Sometimes, it's the only thing that does.

Lady Geist Yes

Lady Geist: And now I have to work alongside a brute.

Abrams: I am right here.

Lady Geist: Correct. That's why I'm exasperated.

Abrams: Nice arm.

Lady Geist: It's a malevolent spirit. Nice book.

Abrams: It's a cursed tome.

Abrams: You look... remarkably calm for a lady who's about to be shot at.

Lady Geist: If I thought we were dealing with anyone competent, maybe I'd be worried.

Abrams: So you're... calm because you're delusional?

Lady Geist: Confident, detective. I am confident.

Unlocked in Geist's visual novel

Lady Geist: Thank you for your help, detective.

Abrams: We still got a long way to go before we summon the Patron!

Lady Geist: Abrams, if there's one thing I am confident in, it's getting what I want.

Abrams: Remember: When we summon the Patron, we need to be very specific about what we ask for.

Lady Geist: Yes, yes, I know.

Abrams: No going into business for yourself.

Lady Geist: You worry too much, detective.

Lash Yes

Lash: Alright blue boy, ahhh, let's get to work.

Abrams: My name's... Abrams.

Lash: Probably not gonna remember that.

Abrams: After we win, I'm gonna punch you in the face! Think you'll remember that?

Lash: Bluey, when this is over, if you want the Lash to send you to night-night land, you're welcome to try.

Lash: I'm excited for you Abrams! You get to bathe in the glory of Lash.

Abrams: You are somethin' else.

Lash: Just remember to say thank you when this is all over.

Lash: So, what does it feel like?

Abrams: Excuse me?

Lash: Bein' next to greatness. What does it feel like?

Abrams: Nauseating?

Lash: No need to be nervous. I am approachable.

Abrams: Oh god...

McGinnis Yes

McGinnis: Just wanna get this out of the way. I'm gonna be doing my best to support you but, shit happens and if you end up on the wrong side of a spectral wall... I'm sorry.

Abrams: That was... very specific.

McGinnis: It happens a lot.

Abrams: Ha, I picked up on that.

Abrams: How do you not throw out your back carrying all that stuff?

McGinnis: It's lighter than it looks. Souls don't weigh a whole lot.

Abrams: Just to give you a heads up, I plan on picking... a lot of fights today.

McGinnis: Good. I hate people.

Mirage Yes

Mirage: Detective. Is that your rank?

Abrams:

Mirage: Ah. So you value profit over civic duty.

Abrams:

Mirage: Maybe you should find a new line of work.

Mirage: Abrams. That Tome is radiating malice.

Abrams:

Mirage: Why are you carrying it?

Abrams:

Abrams:

Mirage: A few years.

Abrams:

Mirage: One doesn't send out a CV to work for the Djinn, they... approach you, with an offer.

Abrams:

Mirage: Some days are safer than others, but... on the whole, no. I am grateful to be of service.

Mo & Krill Yes

Abrams: So, do we wanna have a plan, or we just walk in there punching the hell out of everyone?

Krill: I was thinking the latter but, if you wanna mastermind something, we're all ears!

Abrams: Punching's good.

Krill: Great.

Krill: Abrams, I know this isn't exactly the most ideal time to bring it up but, do you remember last week's card game?

Abrams: We're about to summon the Patron, and you're worried about 50 bucks?

Krill: We owe Wraith money.

Abrams: Makes a lot more sense now. I'll square up after the fight.

Abrams: Didn't expect to be working with you two today.

Krill: A delight for us as well! Our enemies will likely be... less enthused.

Abrams: Oh, they are going to hate us.

Paradox Yes

Abrams: I don't like the way you've been looking at the tome.

Paradox: Can't a girl be curious?

Abrams: I'm warning you Paradox. You touch my property, you won't like what happens next.

Paradox: We've been following your work, detective.

Abrams: Who's we?

Paradox: Paradox.

Abrams: And why's that?

Paradox: We like secrets and you seem to have a knack for finding them. But a word of advice. Some things aren't meant to be revealed. Stop asking questions about us.

Abrams: Ugh, I'll keep that in mind.

Paradox: Be sure that you do.

Paradox: You look uneasy, detective.

Abrams: Just wondering if we're going to have a problem.

Paradox: With the ritual upon us, Paradox has bigger concerns than your nose in our business. So no, you have nothing to fear from me.

Pocket Yes

Abrams: What's in the case?

Pocket: Something dangerous...?

Abrams: You in trouble, kid?

Pocket: Yeah, but you're not the person who can help me.

Abrams: Look, about your old man...

Pocket: Please don't talk to me like you know me.

Abrams: You got it, kid.

Abrams: It's ok to be scared.

Pocket: I'm not.

Abrams: You are, and it's okay.

Seven Yes

Seven: Detective Abrams?

Abrams: I don't believe we've met.

Seven: Oh, we haven't. But I am fascinated by what you hold.

Abrams: If you think I'm letting you get your hand on my-

Seven: Oh, don't worry, Detective. I know better.

Seven: That tome is pulling you into deep waters, detective. Be careful.

Abrams: Ehh... Don't know if I need life advice from somebody who was caught and executed.

Seven: Yet, here I stand. Perhaps you should consider that I know what I'm talking about.

Abrams: What did you do to end up in Lost Whisper?

Seven: I offended small-minded simpletons with fragile egos.

Abrams: You don't try to obliterate someone's soul just because they offended you.

Seven: [Laughter] Your naivete is refreshing, detective.

Shiv Yes

Abrams: How long have you been with the Baxter Society?

Shiv: Not long, a few years.

Abrams: Didn't think they let guys like you in.

Shiv: Wasn’t easy. Who knows, in a few more years they might actually start to respect me.

Abrams: And how long did it take you to do your hair?

Shiv: Please, I wake up looking this pretty.

Shiv: I’ll make ‘em bleed, you finish ‘em off.

Abrams: Works for me.

Vindicta Yes

Abrams: You need me to buy you a pair of shoes?

Vindicta: No.

Abrams: You wanna walk in Times Square barefoot, be my guest!

Abrams: I'm trusting you to help keep me alive.

Vindicta: Don't worry detective, I'll do my part.

Abrams: How long you've been in New York?

Vindicta: Since the first Maelstrom.

Abrams: That had to be an adjustment.

Vindicta: It was wonderful and horrifying in equal measure.

Viscous No

Viscous: You're blue!

Viscous: I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just socially awkward!

Viscous: I punch people with goo!

Viscous: We're family now.

Viscous: You're a detective, right?

Viscous: I love mysteries.

Viscous: Who is the Adversary and why are they massacring the denizens of the Deep?

Viscous: I can't read!

Vyper No

Vyper: Who lets anyone out of jail?

Vyper: We're gonna have a blast, Abe, don't sweat it.

Vyper: You're looking good, detective!

Vyper: You suck.

Vyper: Abe, you wanna meet up for a drink after this?

Vyper: Am I buying- No! I'm not buy- I'm a lady, have some manners!

Wraith No

Wraith: Missed you at the game.

Wraith: Just sell the damn book already.

Wraith: Yeah yeah, wrong hands, blah blah - Abe, you're not the chosen one. You're just a guy who was dealt a bad hand. Dump the book and get your life back.

Wraith: Wanna make any side bets?

Wraith: Today's the best day for gambling. You really think if this goes sideways we're walking out of here alive?

Wraith: Let's go.

Wraith: Obviously.

Wraith: No, I'm thinking smart. When it comes to making wishes, you keep that shit as simple as possible to avoid loopholes.

Yamato No

Yamato: かああこいつ話しかけて。(Oh, please talk to me.)

Yamato: You owe me detective.

Yamato: I haven't cut you down where you stand.

Yamato: くるそれしか知らないん。(That's all I know.)

I know who you are, Pocket. Trust me when I tell you, it's not worth it!
Seven Kill Took out Seven.
You can't escape justice, Seven.
I'm not afraid of you, Seven!
Your machinations end here, Seven.
Men like you deserve to rot in Lost Whisper.
Shiv Kill You're not going for a skin ride with me.
Now the Baxter Society is hunting me.
Stopped Shiv.
Takes more than a couple of knives to take me down.
Know your limits, Shiv.
Vindicta Kill Took out their sniper!
Vindicta's dead. Again.
You made me do this, Vindicta!
Your anger is justified. But your methods are not.
There’s other ways to get what you want, Vindicta.
Viscous Kill Sorry, Viscous.
Nothin' personal, kid.
New York ain't the place for you, Viscous.
Goo man's dead.
I dealt with the pile of goo.
Warden Kill There's a fine line between devotion and obsession, Warden.
I had to stop you, Warden!
You really need a new hobby, Warden.
Took down Warden!
That cape... kinda freaks me out.
Wraith Kill Took out the gambler.
You really thought some cards were going to stop me?
Hope she's still taking action on the Knickerbockers.
This better not kick me out of Sunday's card game...
Took out Wraith!
Wrecker Kill You're a monster, Wrecker.
Come back, and I'll put you down again.
Seems like you don't deserve to live.
The Butcher of Ixia my ass!
Tell Fairfax to go to hell.
Yamato Kill I'll put a stop to the Seventh Moon.
Yamato, you were never going to stop me!
You'll get this book over my dead body, Yamato.
I'm sorry about your brother, but this book can't help you.
Yamato's dead!
