PARTY BANTER MEME

[faderifting]

In the Dragon Age games, as you travel Thedas with your best pals, they have a lot of short conversations about politics, the weather, butts, etc. So this is the Fade Rift equivalent, in four easy steps!

1. Imagine your characters are on a very long walk toward a mission objective, or on a very long walk back after kicking ass, or standing guard together, or gathering herbs, or working in the library late at night, or something. Anything sort of boring.

2. Post a few remarks your character might say—similar to TFLN, except spoken out loud and less ridiculous, maybe, or maybe not, I don’t know your life—while passing the time.

3. Tag around to reply to those general remarks or to start new/wildcard conversations! Threads should be pretty short and involve minimal action; there’s no need to turn anything into a big production. Multiperson threads are encouraged. Series of conversations between the same two characters occurring on different days are also encouraged.

4. Gather up all of your little conversation snippets like a bouquet and keep them forever, because they’re game canon.

Is that good or bad?

[murderbaby]

For me? Good, I hope.

You would have a harder time staying on your horse without your fingers.

[murderbaby]

Thank you for that dreadful image. I was only picturing how difficult it would be to write.

[justashotaway]

You could use your mouth for that. But not to ride.

[murderbaby]

I've a new appreciation for oral histories.

[justashotaway]

What are those?

[murderbaby]

...Stories. Told and written down. Often for preserving the words of the illiterate.

[justashotaway]

...Where are they?

[murderbaby]

In the library. I'll gather a selection.

[justashotaway]

...Thank you.
