allthisshitisweird | Party Banter Meme

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.

[ SIGH. ]

Why didn't you just--How about you pick them out, then, since I'm hopeless?

I would be delighted! I had such a desire to advise Merill on the whole subject, but seeing as she has gone—

Now, would you like fashionable or practical? Which appeals to you the most?

[ What has she done... ]

Practical, I guess, I need to be able to do all my running, jumping, climbing and stuff.

[ ... ]

But not ugly practical.

And is this what you will be wearing with them? Not that exactly, of course. I don't expect that you would wear the same thing every day. But things like it.

Yyyyeah. More or less. I should probably buy more clothes, now that I think about it.

[ What with Deimos' habit of cutting her clothes off... ]

[At least make him pay for them. Come on, Athessa.]

Even better. Not that there is anything wrong with you're wearing presently, of course, but it gives us more room to work with you see. We can select whichever shoes we like best and then go from there.

If this is another not unflattering thing--

[ JUST. SAY. WHAT YOU MEAN!!! ]

Not at all. I think what you're wearing is perfectly fitting. I simply mean that we might explore all sorts of possibilities if matching to them isn't so strict a requirement.

[ Doubt. Squint. ]

Yeah, not...so strict. I don't really have much color in my current wardrobe so clashing won't be a problem, either.

Which is precisely why your footwear of choice can and should be bold - a statement piece. Take these yellow dyed nug hide boots with the red ribbon laces, for example.

[Which are absolutely being shoved into Athessa's hands, for the record.]

YELLOW?

Yellow.

Look how fetching they are with your complexion and the tone of your trousers.

Uhhhhhhm--?

I'm jealous. I could never wear them. But they are truly exquisite.

Why couldn't you? They match your hair.

That is precisely why I could not. If my hair were lovely and dark, they would be perfectly suited to me. Alas.

Can...you explain that to me? Why would them matching your hair be bad?

It is vital that your footwear provide some contrast.

Isn't contrasting against your clothes enough?

[A small, horrified gasp.]

What.

But your clothes must be coordinated off your complexion as well.

Sure, so you got light boots, [ She brackets the height of the boots in front of Wysteria's feet, then holds her arms wide to reach from the hem of her dress to its neckline. ] dark clothes, and--

[ Then, of course, she holds her hands up to frame the blonde's face. ]

--your fair face.

Nonsense. I have my fair face, my slightly brighter clothes and fully neutral footwear. You see:

[She twitches aside her skirts; her shoes are a stunningly sensible pair of soft brown leather half boots, coordinated with a pale blue lacings.]

All of my contrast is naturally contained to my accessories - a brightly colored cloak, perhaps, or something with a whole host of embroidery. My tone simply cannot bear jewel colors.

[ She almost argues, but that's a never ending pit. ]

Alright. Fine.
