You got my number. Call me anytime.
Time to find me a bar.

Your funeral.
I got better things to do than get shot at.
You sure about that?
I got a case to work.

Conversations

Hero	Complete?	Audio
Apollo	No	You know my father? We win today, and you will. With the two of us working together, we only lose if the sun implodes. Winners usually are.
		It's not Ixia, but it's tolerable. I'm here because my father asked me to be, not because I want to... But, only a fool doesn't make the most out of every opportunity.
		I'm grateful not to be paired up with a human. No, they're not. But they're not us either. Never forget that. If we were in Ixia, you wouldn't dare talk to me like that.
		Sirosi galah, Abrams. (Ixian) Karwoun kassil. (Ixian) Itani rah. (Ixian)
Bebop	Yes	Hey, Bebop. Just... do me a favor: If I'm punching someone in the face, please don't knock 'em away! Do my best, mate, but I make no promises.
	Yes	Now, I'm not trying to cast aspersions, Detective, but in my experience organics don't tend to last long in a fight. Pal, the only thing you gotta worry about is keeping up.
	Yes	So what's your deal? I punch things. How about you? Pretty much the same. Oh, this is gonna be fun.
Celeste	No	He's stressed. I know, I know. I tried to tell him, but you know Lenny. He's always going to Lenny. What are friends for?
		Not really making plans this week. Figured I'd see if I survived today first. We're also supposed to be found in the woods, but I wouldn't go camping if you paid me. I should have never told you about that.
		I risk my life 4 times a night on the weekends. I'm pretty good.
The Doorman	No	Good luck unburdening yourself from the Tome, Detective. The ritual is about to begin, perhaps we can discuss this later.
		I wouldn’t dream of getting in front of you.
		I appreciate your concerns for my safety, but they are unneeded. I’ll be fine.
Drifter	No	I like your jacket. Who'd you kill for it? Huh. Disappointin'.
		You afraid of things getting messy, Detective? Then let's get to work.
		You're just gonna have to wait and find out now, ain't ya?
Dynamo	Yes	You ready for this, Professor? Mr. Abrams, if you think this is the first fight I've been in, you've never played pinochle in Bristol.
	Yes	Stay close to me, Professor. I'll keep you safe. Detective, I was about to say the same thing to you.
	Yes	I... don't suppose I could... take a look at that tome, when all this is over? Professor, if things go our way, there won't be a tome for you to look at!
	Yes (Unlocked in Geist's visual novel)	I heard a rumor that you moved in with Lady Geist. Don't wanna talk about it. Who would have thought that a simple business card could start a star-crossed romance! Nothing romantic about it, pal! Not yet. Not ever!
	Yes (Unlocked in Geist's visual novel)	Sorry about crashing your party. No apologies needed, it wasn't my party. Did you ever meet up with Lady Geist? No. Never called back. Sorry to hear that. It's probably for the best. I heard that woman's bad news.
Graves	No	Cool book. Right. Cool book.
		"Nervous" is what I get before finals, this is something a little different. "Terrified" is probably too strong. It's a lot to process!
		You kidding me? These guys are trying to kill us, I'm gonna take all the protection I can get. I'll try not to be offended.
Grey Talon	Yes	You know they're gonna have guns, right? Yep. They're also going to have arrows through their necks. Fair enough.
	Yes	You remind me of my stepdaughter. Son married an Ixian? Yeah. No shit?! Tell you what: we survive this, I'll take the whole family out for a drink. That... that's a nice thought.
	Yes	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! Don't worry, Abrams. I'm not dying until I have my revenge.
Haze	Yes	You like being a Sandman? I'm good at my job. That's not what I asked. Stay focused on the task at hand.
	Yes	You should consider working for the OSIC. I think you guys have enough people who can kick down doors. We do. We don't have enough guys who care what doors are getting kicked down.
	Yes	You're not gonna leave me out to dry, are you? You may not see me, Detective. But I promise you, I'm doing my part.
Holliday	Yes	You're the sheriff from Macomb, right? Yeah. I'm so sorry. Thank you.
	Yes	You got a plan? Eh, I don't know... I was thinking you grab them and then I punch their skull in! I like it!
	Yes	Holliday... I don't suppose you're related to... Yeah. Long shadow! I try not to think about it. Eh, let's make him proud.
Infernus	Yes	Hey Fern, next time you're pouring me the good stuff, remember all the times I saved your life today. You got it, buddy!
	Yes	So when's the last time you went to Ixia? Never. You gotta be kidding me! New York born and raised, baby!
	Yes	I haven't seen you in a minute, brotha. Yeah, case I've been working's been... consuming... Are you okay? After today... I will be.
Ivy	Yes	So... you're the Savior of Spanish Harlem, huh? I really hate that nickname. Heh. Not looking to be deified? I just wanted to make my neighborhood safe.
	Yes	The city owes you a debt for taking care of Mendoza. I'm not owed anything. Humility is good, but word of advice: Don't undervalue your worth.
	Yes	So, a private detective is a job where you help people, but charge them money? Help is relative. I'm pretty sure a lot of my clients wished I wasn't honest about what I found. That's depressing. Truth usually is...
Kelvin	Yes	If we work together, victory is assured. You're... the most confident dead man I've ever met. My friend, the grave has no time for pessimism.
	Yes	You, uh... hot in that thing? Revenants don't really sweat. Huh. Checks out.
	Yes	You're worried at the last minute that the Patrons are gonna screw us? Detective, now more than ever we need hope, not skepticism. Hope doesn't keep you alive. Trust me, my friend. Sometimes, it's the only thing that does.
Lady Geist	Yes	And now I have to work alongside a brute. I'm right here. Correct. That's why I'm exasperated.
	Yes	Nice arm. It's a malevolent spirit. Nice book. It's a cursed tome.
	Yes	You look... remarkably calm for a lady that's about to get shot at. If I thought we were dealing with anyone competent, maybe I'd be worried. So you're calm because you're delusional? Confident, Detective. I am confident.
	Yes (Unlocked in Geist's visual novel)	Thank you for your help, Detective. We still got a long way to go before we summon the Patron! Abrams, if there's one thing I am confident in, it's getting what I want.
	Yes (Unlocked in Geist's visual novel)	Remember: When we summon the Patron, we need to be very specific about what we ask for. Yes, yes, I know. No going into business for yourself! You worry too much, Detective.
Lash	Yes	Alright, Blue Boy, ahhh, let's get to work. My name's... Abrams. Probably not gonna remember that. After we win, I'm gonna punch you in the face! Think you'll remember that?! Bluey, when this is over, if you want The Lash to send you to night-night land, you're welcome to try.
	Yes	I'm excited for you, Abrams! You get to bathe in the glory of Lash. You are somethin' else. Just remember to say "thank you" when this is all over.
	Yes	Ahhh, so... what does it feel like? Excuse me? Bein' next to greatness. What does it feel like? Nauseating?! No need to be nervous. I am approachable. Oh, God...
McGinnis	Yes	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. That was... very specific. It happens a lot. Ha, I picked up on that.
	Yes	How do you not throw out your back carrying all that stuff? It's lighter than it looks. Souls don't weigh a whole lot.
	Yes	Just to give you a heads up, I plan on picking... a lot of fights today. Good. I hate people.
Mirage	No	"Detective"... is that your rank? Ah. So you value profit over civic duty. Maybe you should find a new line of work.
		Abrams. That Tome is radiating malice. Why are you carrying it?
		A few years. One doesn't send out a CV to work for the Djinn, they... approach you, with an offer. Some days are safer than others, but... on the whole, no. I am grateful to be of service.
Mo & Krill	Yes	So, do we wanna have a plan, or we just walk in there punching the hell out of everyone? I was thinking the latter but, if you wanna mastermind something, we're all ears! Punching's good. Great.
	Yes	Abrams, I know this isn't exactly the most ideal time to bring it up but, do you remember last week's card game? We're about to summon the Patron, and you're worried about 50 bucks?! We owe Wraith money. Makes a lot more sense now. I'll square up after the fight.
	Yes	Didn't expect to be working with you two today. A delight for us as well! Our enemies will likely be... less enthused. Oh, they are going to hate us.
Paradox	Yes	I don't like the way you've been looking at the Tome. Can't a girl be curious? I'm warning you, Paradox. You touch my property, you won't like what happens next.
	Yes	We've been following your work, Detective. Who's "we"? Paradox. And why's that? 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. Ugh, I'll keep that in mind. Be sure that you do.
	Yes	You look uneasy, Detective. Just wondering if we're going to have a problem. 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	What's in the case? Something dangerous. You in trouble, kid? Yeah, but you're not the person who can help me.
	Yes	Look, about your old man... Please don't talk to me like you know me. You got it, kid.
	Yes	It's okay to be scared. I'm not. You are... and it's okay.
Seven	Yes	Detective Abrams. I don't believe we've met. Oh, we haven't. But I'm fascinated by what you hold. If you think I'm letting you get your hands on my- Oh, don't worry, Detective. I know better.
	Yes	That tome is pulling you into deep waters, Detective. Be careful. Ehh... don't know if I need life advice from somebody who was caught and executed. Yet, here I stand. Perhaps you should consider that I know what I'm talking about.
	Yes	What did you do to end up in Lost Whisper? I offended small-minded simpletons with fragile egos. You don't try to obliterate someone's soul just because they offended you. [Laughter] Your naivete is refreshing, Detective.
Shiv	Yes	How long have you been with the Baxter Society? Not long. A few years. Didn't think they let guys like you in. Wasn’t easy. Who knows, in a few more years they might actually start to respect me.
	Yes	And how long did it take you to do your hair? Please. I wake up looking this pretty.
	Yes	I’ll make ‘em bleed, you finish ‘em off. Works for me.
Silver	No	Good to see ya, Abe. After the ritual, wanna make some bad decisions for old time's sake? When did you become so boring?
		Good. Still workin' the book case? You workin' the case or not? Abe, I can't figure out why you do half the things you do, so I figured I might as well ask.
		Figure I can wait a few minutes before I start punchin' people in the face. What can I say? I'm growing as a person.
Venator	No	You should have handed over the Tome the moment it came into your possession. Doesn't belong to you either.
		You keep some questionable friends. I also keep questionable friends.
		I can't tell if you're happy or disappointed. Hate my methods all you want, I saved lives. No, there was a way to risk more, and God help us all if we failed. I don't blame you for not having the stomach to do what needed to be done, but sleep easy knowing that what happened in that brownstone is my burden alone, not yours. You're a good man, detective. If this is my last battle, I'm happy to have it be with you.
Victor	No	Heard you love a good mystery. Can you help me with mine?
		So do you. Not particularly.
		Don't suppose one of your cases ever had you bumping into some mad genius that lost one of his creations? Worth a try.
Vindicta	Yes	You need me to buy you a pair of shoes? No. You wanna walk in Times Square barefoot, be my guest!
	Yes	I'm trusting you to help keep me alive. Don't worry, Detective. I'll do my part.
	Yes	How long you been in New York? Since the first Maelstrom. That had to be an adjustment. It was wonderful and horrifying in equal measure.
Viscous	No	You're blue! I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just socially awkward!
		I punch people with goo! We're family now.
		You're a detective, right? I love mysteries. "Who is the Adversary and why are they massacring the denizens of the Deep?" I can't read!
Vyper	No	Who lets anyone outta jail? We're gonna have a blast, Abe, don't sweat it.
		You're looking good, Detective! You suck.
		Abe, you wanna meet up for a drink after this? Am I buyin- No! I'm not buy- I'm a lady! Have some manners!
Wraith	No	Missed you at the game. Just sell the damn book already. 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.
		Wanna make any side bets? Today's the best day for gambling, you really think if this goes sideways we're walkin' outta here alive? Let's go.
		Obviously. No, I'm thinking smart. When it comes to making wishes, you keep that shit as simple as possible to avoid loopholes.
Yamato	No	ああ、コイツ話しかけてくる。(Ugh, this guy is talking to me.)
		You owe me, Detective. I haven't cut you down where you stand.
		それしか知らないんだろ。(I bet that's all you know.) Not bad.
