conversations.value: People come to Ebon Street Investigations when they are at the end of their rope. They need help and are willing to pay for it. In the end, that's the only kind of help you can depend on.
  
  The war's been over for five years, but in the Divided City, tensions still run high. The human inhabitants fought for their freedom, but now must lower their eyes when their conquerors pass: vampires, werewolves, wizards, and monsters of every description, reaping their reward in the gold and blood of their defeated foes.
  
  In many ways, it is amazing how little has changed. Sure, the sky is eternally shrouded by thick clouds that forever hide the sun, and death-by-mutilation stats have skyrocketed, and the gangsters and crooked politicians who used to run things have been replaced by horrifying terrors, but Divided City remains a place where life is a struggle, and everyone gets dirty. 
  
  Whatever you want, you've got to go through someone to get it. That means choosing friends and that means making enemies. Just hope you get out of this life without becoming a ghost — because no one wants to linger in this city that long.

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You know what questions to ask and when to shut up and listen and that makes people want to tell you things.
conversations.prefix: Confidante:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Taking pictures of people is  the business. Dead or alive, dressed or undressed, smiling or angry, the photo's the thing.
conversations.prefix: In The Business:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: Sleuth:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.value: Sometimes people might think you're a little defeatist or pessimistic, but you know you're really just a realist.
conversations.prefix: That's Life:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Spend enough time with enough people in enough bad spots, and you're bound to experience almost anything. That can give you a leg up when a similar thing happens ... but sometimes it just hurts more.
conversations.prefix: I Knew a Guy:

conversations.prefix: Self-Doubt:
conversations.from: human

conversations.prefix: Hardheaded:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Literally haunted. This is not a metaphor. You are haunted by a ghost of someone you have wronged and it interferes with every aspect of your life.
conversations.prefix: Haunted:

conversations.prefix: Someone Else's Responsibility:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You don't like waiting for clues to show up. You want to go, jump out of your seat, and rush into action. And you hate knowing that sometimes that is not how it works.

His little joke. Go do what has to be done as soon as you can. I don't think we have much time to lose. I don't want to be any more specific than that. But I think you can trust E.M.
