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.

Why not?

[justashotaway]

I said so.

[limier]

It is only a hat.

[justashotaway]

It is unnecessary.

[limier]

It is — inconspicuous.

[justashotaway]

Hats are conspicuous.

[limier]

You are conspicuous.

[justashotaway]

Not as conspicuous as that hat.

[limier]

Many young women wear them.

[justashotaway]

Ask them to wear it.

[limier]

They do not have claws.

[justashotaway]

A hat will not cover my claws, just get in my way.

[limier]

The idea is that you do not unsheathe them.

[justashotaway]

Unless they are necessary.

[limier]

And when is it necessary?

[justashotaway]

When something needs to be cut.

[limier]

You are not inspiring confidence.

[justashotaway]

Why not?

[limier]

To cut anything should not be one's first resort.

[justashotaway]

Why?

[limier]

Because we live in a society.

[justashotaway]

[Silent, waiting--the equivalent of saying And?]

[limier]

[limier]

Indiscriminate violence will not win us allies.

[justashotaway]

I am not planning to cut allies.
