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.

Not usually the sort done in Madame Fazon's ring, I take it.

She doesn't allow claws.

Riftwatch is a bit short handed already.

[justashotaway]

Then they should know how to fight everything.

[unshut]

In the training yard, certainly. But back of house fights are entertainment first, education a distant sixth or seventh.

[justashotaway]

Not for me.

[kindly:]

Perhaps you're not the intended audience, my dear.

[justashotaway]

I was invited.

It's meant to be fun. A bit of sport - to make connections, not to stab them. Accomplished as I'm certain you must be with the latter.

[ Silence in return, embarrassed. ]

There's no shame in it. Either in being prickly or in requiring time to be something different if you prefer.

[Hunched shoulders, slightly scrunched face. There's a sort of shame in somebody noticing the fact that she feels out of place, even if it's to tel her not to be ashamed.]
