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.

Don't worry, you don't look a day over three thousand.

[bouchonne]

I'm not pissy.

[ pout pout ]

[cozen]

[ His face only gets halfway into arranging for innocently confused before he thinks better of it. ]

Something flippant. But I think you have probably earned the right to be a little dire.

[windyvoice]

You so are, my dude. Shitter duty is like the ultimate pissy punishment.

[bouchonne]

I'm just placing you where you're best suited.

[bouchonne]

Yes, but I am a division head. Surely you're a bit intimidated by me.

[windyvoice]

I do like to talk shit. Gonna do a hard pass on shoveling it, though.

[bloodandsand]

[??????? ]

I can't imagine why I would be. Would you prefer if I was?

[gentlecountry]

Case in points, the Chantry is real. Exactlies my point.

[Ah, but there's no convincing some people. He sighs.]

You know, you gots proper strong convictions and that's what I gots to respects about you.

[justashotaway]

No, your point is that superstition is real. And you used the existence of the Chantry as proof. The Chantry is a real thing. That is not a superstition. The things they say are superstitions.

[A pause.]

Thank you.

[wythersake]

Neither's Riftwatch. [ a pause, he amends: ] Well, mostly — I suppose we've our share of melty-hearted hardcases. You can put him down, just mind your shoes.

[wythersake]

You ought to tell the Provost that.

[windyvoice]

Get fucked. Dude's a high elf.

[wythersake]

He isn't that tall.

[ ok he is but ]

[windyvoice]

He is absolutely that tall. He's got that superior royalty vibe and everything.

[wythersake]

Do you think so? I'm on the fence — it could only be the brocade.

[windyvoice]

Are you worried you're not prettier than him.

[wythersake]

He isn't that pretty.

[ ok bUT ]

[windyvoice]

Denial isn't gonna make you prettier than him, babe.

[wythersake]

I thought we established that I was waaaaaayyy too old for you.

[ 'babe' ]

[windyvoice]

Totally are. We should also establish that High Elf Boss is probably like a hundred years older than you and a total hottie.

Embrace the truth, babe.

[wythersake]

I suppose I just don't see it. He seems — slippery. Like the sort of man who waxes.

[windyvoice]

I'm ignoring the fact that waxing is apparently just like a thing that exists in this ancient past world. Pretty sure elves not having a lot of body hair is universal though.

[wythersake]

That's why it's so strange that he does it.

[windyvoice]

Wow, that's some wild rumor you're trying to start about our incredibly old and hot elf boss. Like how would you even know, babe?
