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.

Of course. It's difficult to overstate how lazy I am, dear fellow.

[bouchonne]

Forests.

[rowancrowned]

Well? What is it?

[bouchonne]

[ His smile has a sharp edge to it, and his eyes glitter. But his voice stays pleasant. ]

Action without context.

[rowancrowned]

And why not?

[justashotaway]

Almost three years. [A pause.] I think. It was not easy to keep track.

[bouchonne]

Because you get leaves in your ass-crack.

[sarcophage]

There's a great difference between lacking one morsel of context and having none at all. But I suppose I'll bite—honestly, what did you think would happen?

[cozen]

[ He's not going to say the thing that rhymes with hood pan again, but nobody can stop him from thinking it, so there. ]

Now everyone she stitches together will owe you a favor and never know it. [ A pious skyward hand gesture. ] But the Maker will know.

[cozen]

[ DISCUSSION topic. ]

Of course an untalented person should not give up because they cannot be the best. If I thought that were true, I would never sing again.

[sulahnan]

It's... I think it's... what the fuck. It's a potato.

[sulahnan]

That's good, because where I'm from [ hah ] songs are currency [ Not true at all ] , and you owe me for that lullaby I sang for you.

[rowancrowned]

( ??? )

Bring it down. Here, I shall-- step carefully.

[sulahnan]

Yeah, see? Someone's painted it--[ sounds of effort as she climbs down him ]--to look like--

[libratus]

Hm. Yes, running one quarter of an organization desperately attempting to save the world seems a positively slothful pursuit.

[wythersake]

A — well it isn't dangerous.

Journey to a deserted island.

I thought you might recognize your kin.

Do you know what it is?

Expensive kind.

I do not believe those accounts implied conversation.

Oh, ladies first. I implore you to answer.
