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.

Flattery now? A few years older than that.

They've been too quiet lately for my liking.

[bouchonne]

Are you older than thirty? You must tell me how you take care of your skin; it's flawless.

[ But - ]

But yes. I'll admit that I do not thrill to their quiet. Which is a rather unpleasant thing to think about one's ally.

[ She can't quite help looking at him a little sideways, but. ] Thank you.

There's an apothecary in Val Royeaux I found some years ago, I can give you her address when we return if you like.

I'd like to think they learned their lesson. [ But plainly she doesn't. ]

[bouchonne]

I'd appreciate it. The address of the apothecary.

[ He appears to be utterly sincere. ]

I fear that the work is already taking its toll on me.

[ He shakes his head mournfully.

Apparently, the comment about learning their lesson is so absurd as to not warrant response. ]

[hassaran]

The work?

What - Are you under the impression that I am not making an effort, Scoutmaster?
