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 that might make people want to have a dumb conversation just to break things up a bit.

OPTIONAL ASSISTANT: Since so many people reported being out of it, we made a random generator to help you come up with some general banter prompts for your top-levels.

2. Post a few remarks your character might say (similar to TFLN, except spoken out loud and less ridiculous and sexy, maybe. maybe not. we 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. Banter threads can't be used for Base AC, but do count towards AC Rewards points.

[ What. ]

You are...not well-acquainted with him, perhaps?

[windyvoice]

Yeah, that's the point. He doesn't know me, so I don't exist.

[justashotaway]

[ :||||||| ]

If people think it was a date mission, we might not be able to go on others. That will harm Riftwatch.

[bloodandsand]

Oh! It was what they gave us! It's the blood from the first drakling one kills, mixed with wyvern venom and a sacred wine. First taken on the day one proves oneself worthy of being, to awaken the visions.

[windyvoice]

They let you go on the first one, yeah? Figure it'll be okay.

[bouchonne]

That doesn't make him un-scary.

[bouchonne]

I see. And it is - bad for you?

[hassaran]

[ Some sense bristles at the suggestion that she's been anything less than perfectly discreet, but after a second her head tips, acknowledging the point. He could have made it up out of Darras's mere existence or nothing at all if he were so inclined.

She still isn't going to go so far as to make any comment on whether she likes being teased, but fine. She relents: ]

He's my husband, if 'lover' was not just for alliteration.

[windyvoice]

I didn't say he wasn't scary, he's just less scary than the rest of you. He's not paying attention to me, so I don't gotta keep track of him. Also bigger dudes are usually a little easier to dodge.

[justashotaway]

Commander Flint might not have realized.

[bouchonne]

[ also the handcuffs.

From By's eyebrow raise, this actually is news. ]

Is he, now. So Flint is the only disreputable bachelor amongst us, hm? How long have you been wed?

[bouchonne]

[ Murmured: ]

I wouldn't count on it.

[ But. ]

Are you actually afraid of me?

[bloodandsand]

[ She laughs her sweet, silver bell laugh. ]

I wouldn't say that! It is very thrilling to go into battle while experiencing visions. But I had a very unpleasant time of it during that little war between the mages and templars. Our community had been scattered and it was very difficult to gather the supplies, you see.

[esquive]

[Rifters.]

They don't speak.

[windyvoice]

[ She shrugs. ]

Sure. You're less scary than Yesult, cus I'm pretty sure you like me, but like that doesn't mean a lot.

[windyvoice]

Dragons or turtles? Cus like I'm pretty sure I just gave you irrefutable proof that some turtles definitely talk.

[windyvoice]

That's a really big might, dude.

[esquive]

Neither does here.

[bouchonne]

Why? - Forgive me, I've simply never encountered anyone who's afraid of me before.

[windyvoice]

You sure? Cus I don't see any irrefutable proof.

[bouchonne]

And what about now?

[heirring]

Not at all. I think what you're wearing is perfectly fitting. I simply mean that we might explore all sorts of possibilities if matching to them isn't so strict a requirement.

[sulahnan]

Mm.

[ Gotta start somewhere. ]

Have you drunk any of the wine I got you?

[esquive]

Best of luck finding a dragon to interrogate, then.

[bouchonne]

I have. It's nice.
