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.

[gentlecountry]

Oh no, he'll be the ones fightings you. You'll just haves to decides hows to reacts to it.

If I don't know any of them, divert it. Interesting way of getting around not having any trains.

[bouchonne]

Trains?

[bouchonne]

[ Cheerfully and without malice: ]

Why, you're halfway there without one.

iii.

[bouchonne]

I did nothing of the sort.

[technologist]

We've got the same question, only it's a big cart headed for people on tracks. Would you divert it?

[bouchonne]

Ah, I think the dwarves have something like that. Fascinating. You really have the same question where you're from?

[technologist]

Pointless ethical riddles are popular in every universe, apparently. Are you not going to answer?

[bouchonne]

I'd stay idle, which is my specialty. What if you did know some of them?

[technologist]

Then that'd impact my decision, wouldn't it. Do you think staying idle's the same thing as washing your hands of the consequences?

[sulahnan]

Ooh, what if you have crafted a fire design on the clothes, and then set the clothes on fire? Fire on clothes on fire.

[bouchonne]

No, I'm just very lazy. All right, let's say you know the one person and there's one person you know in the five. What's your choice?

[sulahnan]

Yes you--oh. I thought you were someone else.

[ She didn't. ]

Nevermind.

[bouchonne]

Much better. Be more careful next time, hmm?

[justashotaway]

If your clothes had fire patterns on them, would you be on fire even when you were not on fire?

2.

[justashotaway]

I found a crystal grace plant.

[sulahnan]

I will, particularly when I don't have anyone else around to watch my back.

[sulahnan]

But the clothes would be on you...

[bouchonne]

I meant be more careful not to mis-identify your rescuer.

[windyvoice]

Yeaaaah? And? Do they talk or what?

[justashotaway]

And part of you will be on the clothes, if you are sitting or leaning.

[windyvoice]

Only halfway? Damn, I gotta step up my game.

Did you make out though.
