	Graveyards aren’t quiet–they’re loud, sometimes it’s overwhelming. But if you stop and listen, the dead can tell one hell of a story.
	Great! I’m running around Manhattan with a severed lich hand, how did this become my life?
	The dead have been making a whole lot of demands lately.
	This should make my mentor happy.
	Completing some eldritch ritual beats finishing my paper of Wuthering Heights.
	Of course I’ll help.
	Yeah, like I’d miss my chance to summon a god.
	Well, today’s about to get a whole lot more interesting.
	You think I would miss out on the Maelstrom? [scoffs] I can’t wait to get out there.
	Well, my teachers are always asking me to apply myself, so I might as well do this.

	Can’t help with the ritual, I gotta find the body of some old crone’s lover that's buried in Woodlawn.
	Lich errands. You how it is.
	I got physics homework to work on.
	Can’t, my parents are dragging me to some lame party for their law firm.
	Yeah, no.
	Helping liches are one thing, but I draw the line at unknowable forces of nature.
	I already got through P.E. once, I am not running up and down the streets of Manhattan nonstop.
	Got work to do at Trinity Church. Sorry.
	Wish I could help, but phylacteries don’t just show up on their own.
	I think there’s safer ways to help my mentor.

Conversations

Hero	Complete?	Audio	Transcription
Abrams	No		Graves: Cool book. Abrams: Graves: Right. Cool book.
			Abrams: Graves: "Nervous" is something I get before finals, this is a little different. Abrams: Graves: "Terrified" is probably too strong. Abrams: Graves: It's a lot to process.
			Abrams: Graves: You kidding me? These guys are trying to kill us, I'm gonna take all the protection I can get. Abrams: Graves: I'll try not to be offended.
Apollo	No		Graves: You gonna go make daddy proud? Apollo: Graves: Don't talk to me like you know me.
			Apollo: Graves: You noticed? Apollo: Graves: Do you care? Apollo: Graves: I was skipping class, I'm fine. Apollo: Graves: You're such a prick.
			Graves: Your dad's a warlord, right? Apollo: Graves: How is someone "kind of" a warlord? Apollo: Graves: I mean we do. It's warlord.
Bebop	No		Bebop: Graves: No. Do yours? Bebop: Graves: Can you get off my back, you little robo-hypocrite?
			Graves: Who made you? Bebop: Graves: You like her? Bebop: Graves: Eh, they're alright.
			Graves: Look, the dead aren't very bright, okay? If any of them get in the way, I'm sorry. Bebop:
Billy	No		Billy: Graves: Way to go, Billy, you've got me all figured out. Truly, you are the master of the human condition.
Calico	No		Graves: You look familiar. Calico: Graves: No, I've seen you before--not on the news. Calico: Graves: Nonono, they're alive. [pause] I know; you were at their Christmas party last year. Calico: Graves: It was at White Side and Graves. Calico:
			Calico: I need you to speak with a curator after the ritual. Graves: Yeah, you gonna give me a lecture on how it's a bad idea to carry it? Calico:
			Graves: I like your ugly cat. Calico: Graves: Look--I mean, I think she's great, but... objectively she's ugly as sin. Calico:
Dynamo	No		Graves: Please don't give me an inspiring teacher talk on my potential. Dynamo: Graves: Sounds good.
			Dynamo: Graves: It's not. Dynamo: Graves: This seemed a little more important. Dynamo:
			Dynamo: Graves: I... kinda just want to focus on necromancy right now. Dynamo: Graves: Are you a friend of my parents? Dynamo: Graves: Ugh, for god's sake.
Grey Talon	No		Grey Talon: Graves: I'm not sure how useful that is during a fire fight. Grey Talon: Graves: Of course. Grey Talon:
			Grey Talon: Graves: Do you any idea how many people told me it's a bad idea? Grey Talon: Graves: Why does it matter? Grey Talon:
			Grey Talon: Graves: You don't know her. Grey Talon: Graves: Oh, like you're some kind of expert. Grey Talon: Graves: Take a nap, grandpa.
Haze	No		Haze: I need you to speak with a curator after the ritual. Graves: Why? Haze: Are you really asking me that? Graves: Everything's fine. Haze: Then it shouldn't be a problem.
			Haze: Have you started thinking about your future? Graves: Right now I'm worried about living long enough to graduate. Haze: The OSIC could use someone like you. Graves: Not interested in being a sandman. Haze: And I'm not interested in you being one. But we have multiple divisions…and I think you might like being a Medium. Graves: That might not suck. Haze: Think about it. You can give me a call later.
			Graves: Surprised you're not trying to take the hand. Haze: Curators care about things, Sandmen care about people. So until you become a threat to national security you're not my problem.
Holliday	No		Holliday: Is that a severed hand? Graves: Yeah. Holliday: I really need to get my tubes tied...
			Holliday: When the ritual starts, go find a playground to brood in. Graves: A condesending cop. Shocking. Holliday: Snark isn't gonna keep you alive. Graves: What, and you are? Holliday: Against my better judgement. Graves: You're quite the civil servant Holliday: You shouldn't be here. It's not safe. Graves: I can take care of myself
			Holliday: Sooo, do they give you the pack of cloves when you become a theatre kid, or was that something you brought to the table all on your own? Graves: I hope you get shot. Holliday: I'm making conversation. Graves: And I'm hoping you get shot.
Infernus	No		Graves: Is it true you once kicked Mina Ha out of your bar? Infernus: She tried to use a fake. Graves: Surprised she didn’t just bribe you. Infernus: She tried... but ain't no amount of money worth risking Jezebel's getting shut down. Graves: God I would have loved to see her face. Infernus: Not gonna lie, it was satisfying.
			Graves: Ya know there's rumors about you. Infernus: That right? Graves: Yeah. Supposedly you're with the mob. Infernus: I'm just a bartender. Graves: That's not what my classmates say. Infernus: I don't know if I'd trust the Blackmore Academy rumor mill. Graves: They play cards at Wraiths. Infernus: Don't know if I'd trust what she has to say either.
			Infernus: Hey Graves... I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, cause lord knows you don't wanna hear it… Graves: But Infernus: If you ever find yourself over your head... you can talk to me for help. Graves: We close now? Infernus: Look. When I was around your age I needed help, and someone gave it to me. It changed my life, and I just wanted you to know that... I'm willing to pay it forward. Graves: Good talk
Lady Geist	No		Graves: Are you related to Johann Geist? Lady Geist: Graves: He was really talented. I wrote a paper about him in Humanities. Lady Geist: Graves: Verlorn Induschtil(?) is amazing.
			Lady Geist: Graves: The jacket kinda gives it away. Lady Geist:
			Graves: You know your arm's... evil, right? Lady Geist: Graves: Like, he won't stop screaming about what he wants to do to people. Lady Geist: Graves: His name's Oathkeeper. Lady Geist:
Paige	No		Paige: Graves: Thanks for the tip. Paige: Graves: I'm sure you are. Paige: Graves: Well, whoever that is, they're cooler than you.
Rem	No		Graves: Are you nervous? Rem: A little. Graves: Well stick with me, I'll take care of you
			Rem: Do dead people dream? Graves: I think so Rem: Why can't I talk to them? Graves: You gotta listen Rem: But, if I'm listening, I can ask them questions like what's your favorite color, and why does bread taste good, and do you think cats would smoke if they had thumbs? Graves: Life's hard sometimes Rem: It is...
			Rem: Do you like bowling? Graves: What? Rem: You look like someone who likes bowling. Graves: It's kind of cool. Rem: Yeah. It is.
Seven	No		Seven: Be careful, child. Graves: What, or I'll end up like you? Seven: Ha, please! Stay on the path you're on and you won't live long enough to end up like me. Graves: Don't pretend like you care if I live or die. Seven: I'm not invested in your surivial, I just hate to see talent wasted.
			Seven: Don't trust your mentor. Graves: Why, cause she's a lich? Seven: No, because mentors only teach what they want you to learn. They are craven and use the young to live glories they could not achieve on their own. Graves: She's not like that. Seven: Ohoho, of couse not. She sees potential in you that she's never seen in ages. You're special. Graves: You don't know what you're talking about. Seven: You're right. How silly of me.
			Graves: I'm able to hold my own. Seven: I never said you couldn't. Graves: I know I'm young, but- Seven: I don't care how old you are. If you're competent you'll survive, if you're not you'll die. Either way, you're not my concern.
Venator	No		Venator: Graves: I get that a lot. Venator: Graves: Not happening. Venator: Graves: Believe me, Father, I already regret meeting you.
			Graves: What kind of priest carries a gun? Venator: Graves: One, that... ugh, I don't do purple prose. [inhale] I do. I traffic with the dead--if you have a problem with that you shouldn't be here. Venator:
			Venator: Graves: You don't know her. Venator: Graves: Oh my god, someone religious is being close-minded? I wish I wore pearls so I could clutch them. Venator: Graves: Don't threaten me. Venator: Graves: Thanks for your concern--I can take things from here.
Vyper	No		Vyper: Graves: I have the day off. Shouldn't you be in jail? Vyper: Graves: You're full of shit.
			Vyper: Graves: Does it matter? 'cause I'm not giving it to you. Vyper: Graves: I'm not scared of you. Vyper: Graves: We're on the same team! Vyper:
			Vyper: Graves: Yeah. Vyper: Graves: Please don't talk to me. Vyper: Graves: No.

Seven	Kill		You have much to learn, Graves.

			You're not the dead's master!.. You're their errand girl.
Yamato	Kill		(It's over, child.)
			(You meddle with things you could never understand…)
			You don't belong here, little girl.
			(She desecrates the memory of the dead.)
			(Ugh, I hate teenagers.)
