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 know 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
Abrams	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.
Apollo	Yes	You gonna go make daddy proud? My father's already proud of me. I don't need to pull stunts so he knows I exist. Don't talk to me like you know me. How about you give me the same respect?!
	Yes	You weren't in class yesterday. You noticed? I notice everything. Were you sick? Do you care? Of course I care! It's hard for you to fight if you have a high fever or food poisoning or whatever. I was skipping class, I'm fine. "Oh, I'm fine! Just undisciplined and negligent!" You're such a prick.
	Yes	Your dad's a warlord, right? Kind of, yeah. How is someone "kind of" a warlord? It's a cultural thing. You don't have a word in English for someone who wields the power of a governor and a general the way we do in Ixia. I mean, we do. It's warlord. [Sigh] I don't expect you to understand.
Bebop	No	No. Do yours? Can you get off my back, you little robo-hypocrite?
		Who made you? You like her? Eh, they're alright.
		Look, the dead aren't very bright, okay? If any of them get in the way, I'm sorry.
Billy	No	Way to go, Billy, you've got me all figured out. Truly, you are the master of the human condition.
Calico	No	You look familiar... No, I've seen you before, not on the news. Nonono, they're alive... I know; you were at their Christmas party last year. It was at "Whiteside & Graves".
		Yeah, you gonna give me a lecture on how it's a bad idea to carry it?
		I like your ugly cat. Look, I mean, I think she's great, but... objectively she's ugly as sin.
Celeste	Yes	You're not really a unicorn. What makes you say that? I'm not 12. By what, 6 months? Shut up!
	Yes	Ever thought about leaving home for the circus? My parents have penthouse in midtown. What do you think? Probably not? Got it in one.
	Yes	Your jacket would be cooler without the fringe. You'd be cooler without the attitude. Don't see that changing anytime soon. The jacket's awesome! Sure. It is!
Dynamo	No	Please don't give me an inspiring teacher talk on my potential. Sounds good.
		It's not. This seemed a little more important.
		I... kinda just want to focus on necromancy right now. Are you a friend of my parents? Ugh, for God's sake.
Grey Talon	No	I'm not sure how useful that is during a firefight. Of course.
		Do you have any idea how many people told me it's a bad idea? Why does it matter?
		You don't know her. Oh, like you're some kind of expert. Take a nap, grandpa.
Haze	Yes	I need you to speak with a curator after the ritual. Why? Are you really asking me that? Everything's fine. Then it shouldn't be a problem.
	Yes	Have you started thinking about your future? Right now, I'm worried about living long enough to graduate. The OSIC could use someone like you. Not interested in being a sandman. And I'm not interested in you being one. But we have multiple divisions… and I think you might like being a Medium. That might... not suck. Think about it. You can give me a call later.
	Yes	Surprised you're not trying to take the hand. Curators care about things, Sandmen care about people. So until you become a threat to national security, you're not my problem.
Holliday	Yes	Is that a severed hand? Yeah? I really need to get my tubes tied...
	Yes	When the ritual starts, go find a playground to brood in. A condescending cop. Shocking. Snark isn't gonna keep you alive. What, and you are? Against my better judgement. You're quite the civil servant. You shouldn't be here. It's not safe. I can take care of myself.
	Yes	So, 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? I hope you get shot. I'm making conversation. And I'm hoping you get shot.
Infernus	Yes	Is it true you once kicked Mina Ha out of your bar? She tried to use a fake. Surprised she didn't just bribe you. She tried. But ain't no amount of money worth risking Jezebel's getting shut down. God, I would have loved to see her face. Not gonna lie... it was satisfying.
	Yes	You know, there's rumors about you. That right? Yeah. Supposedly you're with the mob. I'm just a bartender. That's not what my classmates say. I dunno if I'd trust the Blackmore Academy rumor mill. They play cards at Wraith's. Don't know if I'd trust what she has to say either.
	Yes	Hey, Graves. I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life. 'Cause lord knows you don't wanna hear it... "But"... If you ever find yourself over your head... you can talk to me for help. Oh, we close now? 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. Good talk.
Lady Geist	No	Are you related to Johann Geist? He was really talented. I wrote a paper about him in Humanities. "Verloren in die Stille" is amazing. (German: "Lost in the Silence")
		The jacket kinda gives it away.
		You know your arm's evil, right? Like, he won't stop screaming about what he wants to do to people. His name's Oathkeeper.
Paige	No	Thanks for the tip. I'm sure you are. Well, whoever that is, they're cooler than you.
Rem	Yes	Are you nervous? A little. Well, stick with me, I'll take care of you.
	Yes	Do dead people dream? I think so. Why can't I talk to them? You gotta listen. But, if I'm listening, I can't 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? Life's hard sometimes. It is...
	Yes	Do you like bowling? What? You look like someone who likes bowling. It's kind of cool. Yeah. It is.
Seven	Yes	Be careful, child. What, or I'll end up like you? Ha, please! Stay on the path you're on and you won't live long enough to end up like me. Don't pretend like you care if I live or die. I'm not invested in your survival, I just hate to see talent wasted.
	Yes	Don't trust your mentor. Why, cause she's a lich? 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. She's not like that. Ohoho, of course not! She sees potential in you that she's never seen in ages. You're special. You don't know what you're talking about. You're right. How silly of me.
	Yes	I'm able to hold my own. I never said you couldn't. I know I'm young, but- 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.
Silver	Yes	Well, aren't you a creepy kid? I'm not a kid. You prefer... "angsty teenager"? Are you always a bitch or is this something special just for me? I'm pretty consistent. ...I think I don't hate you. I think I don't hate you too.
	Yes	You like being a werewolf? I dunno. You don't know? I've never not been one. Imagine if I asked you how you liked being a human? I'd say... that humans are generally awful with moments of surprising compassion and that we would all probably be better off if 90 percent of us were replaced by cats.
	Yes	You seem cool. I am cool. You always want to be a bounty hunter? Nah, I always wanted to not be homeless so I decided to do whatever paid the most. Checks out.
Venator	Yes	You're in over your head, child. I get that a lot. Give me the lich hand. Not happening. You will regret your choice... Believe me, Father, I already regret meeting you.
	Yes	What kind of priest carries a gun? One that's about to go to war. What kind of child traffics with the dead? One that- ugh, I don't do purple prose. I do. I traffic with the dead. If you have a problem with that, you shouldn't be here. No problem at all, lass.
	Yes	The Lich is usin' you. You don't know her. They're all the same. Oh my God, someone religious is being closed minded, I wish I wore pearls so I could clutch them. It's a real shame that you're not going to live long enough to learn the wisdom that comes with age. Don’t threaten me. Threaten ya? I'm trying to save your life. Thanks for your concern, I can take things from here.
Vyper	No	I have the day off. Shouldn't you be in jail? You're full of shit.
		Doesn't matter, cause I'm not giving it to you. I'm not scared of you. We're on the same team!
		Yeah. Please don't talk to me... No!
Wraith	No	How do you know that? I speak for them. It's not. The dead have people speaking to them all the time. Go to a cemetery on Father's Day and you can't throw a rock without hitting someone talking to a headstone. You don't get it. It's not... sweet, for them. It's painful. They see loved ones hurting and they want to offer comfort, or... advice, or... anything. To be their voice? It's... it's an honor. Oh... yeah, I can do that.

		This was never going to end well for you, Celeste.
		Celeste is down!
		I stopped the unicorn!
The Doorman	Kill	I stopped the Doorman.
		That man is disquieting...
		I don't know what the hell that thing was, but it wasn't a doorman.
		He thinks he's smarter than he is.
		Nice try, Doorman.
Drifter	Kill	Drifter won't be hunting us any time soon.
		That guy gave me the creeps...
		It looks like my mastery of the dead extends to vampires.
		I'm not gonna be one of your victims, Drifter.
		Go whistle someplace else, loser.
Dynamo	Kill	I don't like fighting teachers, it makes me feel weird.
		I bet he's a better teacher than he is a fighter.
		Nice try, professor.
		I gotta say, Dynamo, a lot of your former students are big fans.
		If it makes you feel better, I think your jacket's cool.
	Incoming (Singularity Ready)	Here comes Dynamo!
		Look out for a black hole!
		Don't get close to the professor.
Grey Talon	Kill	That was one angry grandpa!
		You're not gonna stop me, Grey Talon.

		I took down Grey Talon!
		My mentor says hello.
	See Guided Owl	Here comes the owl!
		Look out for the owl!
		Incoming owl!
Haze	Kill	I want the OSIC out of my business!
		You should meet my mentor, Haze. I think you'd like her.
		I handled the Sandman.
		Doesn't the government have better things to do than bother teenagers?!
		Billy was right, the OSIC sucks...
	Killed while invisible	The dead see everything, Haze.
		You can't hide from the dead.
		You're not as smart as you think, Haze.
Holliday	Kill	I took out the sheriff!
		I'm not going to jail!
		Oh God, the law's after me, that's great...
		Shouldn't you be tracking down a serial killer or something, not worrying about a high school kid?
		Holliday's outta the picture.
	Escaped with Bounce Pad	Keep running, Holliday!
		That should buy me a little time.
		You'd think the sheriff would have better things to do than hassle me.
	Lassoed	Put me down!
		Holliday has me!
		Stop Holliday!
Infernus	Kill	I stopped Infernus!
		For God's sake Infernus, stop trying to light me on fire!
		I know what you did, Infernus!
		The people who worked at Pier 31 don't have kind things to say about you, Infernus.
		Lose the fedora.
	Killed during Concussive Combustion's channel	Not happening, Infernus.
		Glad I stopped that.
		Infernus has gotta be pissed about that…
Ivy	Kill	She was nice.
		Feel kind of bad about fighting her.
		Wish we were on the same side, Ivy.
		I stopped the gargoyle!
		That should get the gargoyle off our backs for a little bit.
	Escaped with Air Drop	Get back here, Ivy!
		I'll stop the gargoyle later.
		Damn it, she escaped!
Kelvin	Kill	I read a lot about him. He seemed cool.
		I wish I wasn't fighting him, I have a million questions...
		I bet my mentor would love to get her hands on that stone.
		Took down the ice wight!
		I might be able to help you, Kelvin... not today, obviously, because I killed you, but in the future!
	Killed during Ice Path	You can't escape me, Kelvin.
		Nice try, Kelvin.
		You're not escaping, Kelvin.
Lady Geist	Kill	She looks real good for her age.
		I hate people like you, Geist.
		You're not feeding me to Oathkeeper!
		You were a fool to make a deal with Oathkeeper, Geist.
		I stopped Lady Geist.
	Soul Exchange is ready	Don't let Geist swap you!
		Stay away from Lady Geist!
		Lady Geist is on the prowl.
Lash	Kill	Whatever, Lash.
		I'm not intimidated by you, Lash.
		What a moron...
		He's like all the boys in my Sophmore gym class merged together to form some super prick.
		Oh, that felt good!
	Killed while mid-air	I know your tricks, Lash.
		You picked on the wrong girl!
		That felt real good.
McGinnis	Kill	Sellout.
		Took out the Fairfax stooge!
		Don't worry, McGinnis. The Fairfax war machine will roll on just fine without you.
		You don't use magic, McGinnis, you abuse it.
		The old ways are the strong ways, McGinnis.
	Destroys turrets	Got rid of another one!
		How many of these damn things does she have?
		I'm getting real tired of seeing these things...
Mina	Kill	God, Mina, what's your problem?
		You won life, Mina, can you stop being an asshole?
		I stopped Mina.
		Get away from me, Mina!
		I hate Blackmore alumni...
Mirage	Kill	Stopped the Djinn bearer.
		Mirage is down.
		He didn't make that easy.
		He seemed like a decent guy!
		Good luck with Wyoming, Mirage.
Mo & Krill	Kill	I'm not getting mauled by a mole and his weird roommate.
		I stopped the mole man!
		Mo and Krill are down!
		Nothing personal, Krill!
		At least Mo will be comfortable in the dirt.
	Grabbed by Combo	Krill has me!
		Get this mole off of me!
		Somebody help me!
Paige	Kill	She is way too positive for me.
		How can she be so naive?
		Paige isn't a problem.
		I stopped their support.
		You can't stop me, Paige.
Paradox	Kill	You try too hard, Paradox.
		Probably not welcome at the next pop-up museum, am I?
		You're not bad, Paradox... but not bad's not enough.
		A shame we couldn't work things out, Paradox...
		I really want to like her, but she's making it hard!
	Killed post-swap	Nice try, Paradox.
		That's the only trick you got, Paradox?
		Takes more than that, Paradox.
Pocket	Kill	Don't try to out-angst me.
		Your whole family sucks, Arin.
		Once a Fairfax, always a Fairfax.
		Pocket is down!
		Give me the case, Pocket!
Rem	Kill	I wish I could make him a pet.
		Sorry Rem.
		He looked so cozy too...
		I'm gonna feel bad about that for a while...
		I stopped Rem!
Seven	Kill	I wonder if he takes interns?
		It takes a little more than lightning to scare me, Seven.
		Your pursuit of power ends here, Seven.
		So that's the guy who escaped Lost Whisper...
		He won't be down for long.
	Using Storm Cloud nearby	Get behind something!
		Take cover!
		Get inside!
Shiv	Kill	Whatever, Shiv.
		I took down Shiv!
		You're not pushing me around, Shiv.
		He thought he was so cool.
		You took something that doesn't belong to you, Shiv!
	Unkillable	Stop Shiv!
		Help me take down Shiv!
		Shiv isn't going down!
Silver	Kill	I can't let you stop me, Silver.
		That could have gone real bad…
		Lucky I'm walking away from that fight alive.
		Killed the werewolf!
		Glad I still have all three of my hands...
Sinclair	Kill	Sinclair's down!
		Took down Sinclair!
		You got some nice tricks, Sinclair.
		Nice try, Sinclair.
		Just get a divorce already!
Venator	Kill	Stopped the Venator.
		That priest was a maniac.
		I won't let you stop me, Venator!
		The Venator's hunt is over.
		Just leave me alone, Venator!
Victor	Kill	I mean, you’re a pile of dead bodies, of course the necromancer was going to win.
		You should've came to me for help, Victor.
		Too bad. He was kinda cool.
		At least I stopped his pain...
		The dead can be so pushy sometimes.
Vindicta	Kill	I'm sorry about what happened to you, Vindicta...
		I wish you'd let me help you, Vindicta.
		I wasn't about to let you put more blood on your hands, Vindicta.
		Their sniper's dead.
		You didn't give me a choice, Vindicta!
	Damaged by snipe	Sniper!
		Vindicta's here!
		Look out for snipers!
	Killed while mid-air	You weren't safe up there, Vindicta.
		You didn't actually think you were safe, did you?
		Shot her down!
Viscous	Kill	Sorry about that, Viscous.
		That was a weird little goo guy.
		I'd feel worse about that if he didn't get goo on me.
		I took down Viscous.
		The Cube was never going to be enough to protect you.
Vyper	Kill	You're such a loser, Vyper.
		If the cops won't deal with you, I will.
		You're not taking this hand, Vyper.
		Stopped Vyper.
		Get away from me, you scumbag!
Warden	Kill	My money's on homeschooled.
		That guy needs a hobby.
		Took down Warden.
		Lighten up, Warden.
		I stopped Warden.
	See Last Stand	Don't let Warden get close!
		Here come Warden!
		Warden's making his stand!
Wraith	Kill	I bet she's fun to hang out with.
		Stopped the gambler.
		Wraith isn't a problem.
		Glad I survived fighting her…
		I really don't want Wraith as an enemy...
Yamato	Kill	She's a bitch, but I'm kind of okay with it.
		I get that I'm supposed to not like her, but I can't help it!
		She's so cool!
		I am so sorry, Yamato.
		I will make this up to you, Yamato; please don't take it personally.
	See Shadow Transformation	Stay away from Yamato!
		Here comes Yamato!
		Yamato is transforming!
