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.

Nothing quite like stability and routine in a long term relationship, is there?

Mn, [ And enough unresolved issues to last the rest of their lives, but u kno. ] He's rather fetching, too, in his way, don't you think?

[unshut]

[Contemplatively, as this is a most serious inquest:]

I suppose I haven't had the opportunity to give the man's formation much thought.

[libratus]

Tidy, is how I would describe it. And stressed, of course, but in a way one might hope a marriage would relieve.

[ A n y way. ]

The other two, I'm afraid it might be best if I did not comment upon.

[A chiding cluck of the tongue. She is unimpressed.]

Come now, Speaker. That is hardly in the spirit of the game.

[libratus]

You have met Warden von Skraeder, have you not?

[unshut]

And what of it?

[libratus]

She carries quite a lot of knives -- and those are only the ones in plain sight.

[unshut]

One should never show fear in the face of danger, Speaker.

[libratus]

I prefer never to be untruthful about my emotions, Mrs. Fitcher.

Nor to give formidable women who already dislike me any more reason to do so.

[unshut]

I doubt Warden von Skraeder would really take such offense at being theoretically bedded, given the circumstances.

[libratus]

[ A-- sort of startled cough. ]

[unshut]

I agree. Exquisitely fine bone structure.

[libratus]

[ just

choking on air give him a minute ohgod. ]

I— [ ahem ] am certain that would be appealing to someone.

If one had any interest in that general direction, I mean.

[unshut]

Oh, I see.

—Then whatever is the matter with poor Ser Lyon du Lyon? He is allegedly dashing in every respect. [Lowering her voice to the level of conspiracy:] Have you heard something I haven't?
