Party Banter Meme



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.

I agree. [ But since they can both agree it's not universally a good thing, he can at least ease up on it maybe being a good thing for her. ] Is there a gaggle of Kints out there somewhere who you belong to?

Your question disproves itself.
bouchonne: (attentive)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2020-04-01 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's a question that catches him a bit by surprise. He blinks - ]

Hm?

[ Then recovers. ]

Which time?
bouchonne: (snotrag)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2020-04-01 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Does it?

Mm. By implying your own lack of faith in my awareness.

--which seem to have by and large been strangely self-perpetuated, yes.

Not that I am criticizing, of course. I am merely observing.

Limits. I do not want to believe it of you, but I also do not want to doubt you. What a quandary.

[ Aha but there's a return to the argument topic! ]

Yeah, that's kind of my point, though, is that even for people who are naturally gifted or whatever, if you ask them, they worked hard. And for people who aren't, they also worked hard, it doesn't mean that the talented person didn't. Or, you know, that an untalented person might as well not work so hard because they'll never be as good as the other guy.

[ Oh, but he complimented her-- ]

But thank you.

Come now, Monsieur Val Royeaux. Is it not the spirit of bravery to acknowledge one's own short comings?

And what then on the day when something is out of reach and I or another am not at hand?
bouchonne: (shocked!!!)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2020-04-01 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
What slander! My faith in you knows no bounds!
cozen: (097)

[personal profile] cozen 2020-04-01 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Which time? Any time. Choose one. And I will allow you to lie to me, if you must, [ graciously, ] as long as the lie is exciting.

Has my wife said something to yours? Or to you?
bouchonne: (considering)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2020-04-01 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
I would never.

[ The lie is immensely sincere. ]

Well. You know about the attempt at my wedding, of course.
bouchonne: (mmmm girl)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2020-04-01 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
I might have heard something.

[ He hasn't. ]

How kind! One does not come upon such selflessness often.

Were to say you met a dragon who spoke, I would hear the story. But I'd rather not be the one asking it's name, no.

Have you offended her? Been the recipient of her wit? Are you seeking the facilitation of an apology?
justashotaway: (19.)

[personal profile] justashotaway 2020-04-01 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
No. [As far as she knows, anyway.] Only my mother, and she is dead.
sarcophage: (12937540)

[personal profile] sarcophage 2020-04-01 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
That's quite a claim.
bouchonne: (ummm?????)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2020-04-01 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Hold on. We're talking about you.
cozen: (077)

[personal profile] cozen 2020-04-01 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps—but then to press on despite them.
bouchonne: (droll)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2020-04-01 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
And yet it's ever so true. So - the conundrum. Which do you choose? The one, or the five?
cozen: (074)

[personal profile] cozen 2020-04-01 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes. The nineteenth most exciting wedding I have attended. That was the lady's family, ouais? Intervening to rescue her from a scoundrel?
