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.

Well you see it all goes back to the first times that were put on stage. See they had a terrible bad luck and bits of the stage collapsed alongs with a string of mysterious poisonings and an unlucky sorts of turn with a fatal mugging, wouldn'ts you know.

So now, if you stands up there and calls it "MacBarth" you're sayings the name outs of context-like, and it's an offense to the sprits of theater. And also the non-spirits of theater.

You're supposed to calls it "The Ferelden Play"

I won'ts stops you, though. Never saw an Orlesian leading man gets in a fistfight this lopsided, wouldn't minds the entertainments.

[justashotaway]

...I would not fight someone over the name of a play.

[gentlecountry]

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

[justashotaway]

He can try. But I am not going to fight over this.

[gentlecountry]

Miss, I don't wants to cast aspersions, but can I ask whys not?

Theater superstitions is serious traditions.

[justashotaway]

Superstitions are not real.

[gentlecountry]

Oh, now don't be silly. Some folks will say that the Curse of MacBart ain't real, and some will say that you don't got a needs to throw beer if you spills some nor avoids the lefthands tunnel. Sod, some will even say the Maker ain't real.

[Barty is one of these, though not out loud. It's rude to bother other people's faith, and Barty tries never to be rude.]

But the superstition? Superstition's deadly real. Maker or no, you gots to agree there's a Chantry. Superstition's what'll getcha, you watch.

[justashotaway]

The Chantry is a fact, not a superstition. Superstition is pointless.

[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.
