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.

In the forest, outside Kirkwall.

It did not have flowers yet, but the leaves smelled fresh.

[cozen]

Did you bring them back? I have heard they are useful for something, but honestly, I could not say what.

[justashotaway]

Yes. And elfroot, embrium, feverfew, and some others.

I am not sure what they're for, but we needed more herbs.

[cozen]

Ah, I know what some of those are for. Embrium clears the lungs.

[ A frequent scent in his childhood home, when things were good enough for them to afford fresh herbs—not that he's nostalgic. It's just how he knows. ]

And elfroot is for—everything. Whatever is troubling you. Put some elfroot on it.

[justashotaway]

...Then we should have gathered more elfroot.

[cozen]

Oh, I would not say that. Its effects are mild, and it is the easiest to find and to buy. It sounds like you found things much more difficult to come by.
