Picking Graves

When picked 8

  • 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 on Wuthering Heights.
  • Of course I'll help.
  • Yeah, like I'd miss my chance to summon a god.
  • Well today is about to get a whole lot more interesting.
  • You think I would miss out on the Maelstrom? I can't wait to get out there.
  • Well, my teachers are always asking me to apply myself so might as well do this.

When swapped out 8

  • 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 PE once, I'm 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.
