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.

To press on, certainly. To press in? Well.

[sulahnan]

Then I'll climb up there myself, but just 'cos you can climb a wall doesn't mean you don't sometimes use a ladder.

[rowancrowned]

Are we? It seemed as though you were seeking to commiserate.

[rowancrowned]

Ah. I see what I am.

So what do you propose, a boost, or do you simply just intent to clamber--

[ Miracle of miracles: that question prompts the pure, unvarnished truth from him. ]

Not precisely. Intervening, rather, to save her from her ambitions. They had a more suitable suitor in mind for her, you see - I extended my hand merely to fill hers, to ensure that no other hand could take hers and whisk her away to wifely duties.

To be honest,

[ which is his regular state, really, but, ]

I think we're due some criticism. We keep denying everyone the opportunity to tell us we're being idiots by keeping it a secret, and then next thing you know we're mostly dead and there's a creepy magister trying to destroy the world.

But the trap business. There's nothing to be done about that.

Your boots. Who made them?

[bouchonne]

Have you offended her?

[rowancrowned]

My wife, or yours?

[bouchonne]

What does Sidony have to do with anything?

[rowancrowned]

Not her, then.

No, I have not offended my wife.

[sarcophage]

I prefer not to make decisions without context.

[bouchonne]

Then your love life is good.

[bouchonne]

Oh, we both know that's not true.

[rowancrowned]

Splendidly. The Chantry has not attempted to void our marriage for at least three months.

[bouchonne]

That seems like it would be terrible for the sex you're having. - The lack of danger, I mean.

[rowancrowned]

Oh, no, you forget. I am an elf, I do not require danger, only an appropriate forest setting.

[sarcophage]

Do we?

[bouchonne]

Is that how elves work?

[bouchonne]

Don't we? I believe that you believed, when you slipped that knife between my ribs, that I wanted it in some way. No?

[sulahnan]

No, no, since you decided [ scamper ] to make a [ scuffle] fuss I'll just do it my--[ grunt of effort]--self!

[byblow]

Oh. I'm sorry. [ After a respectful sort of pause: ] How long ago did she die?

[sarcophage]

My dear, what you wanted was painfully obvious—had you only told me how it should be delivered, I wouldn't've had to improvise. Granted, at the time, I was not at my best... but, to be fair, you were being very annoying.

[libratus]

Truly? You would do nothing?

[rowancrowned]

It is better than danger.
