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.

I doubt that a sword would go well with my skirts.

The sword, no. But we could get you a very fine scabbard.

[heirring]

Please, Mr. Ellis. Don't be ridiculous. It isn't a question of the sword's appearance, but rather of its utility. Scabbards get caught in skirts and that sort of thing.

All the more reason you should humor me and allow me to teach you how to use a bow and arrow.

[ probably a losing attempt all around, but by god, he's going to keep at it. ]

[UGHHHHHHHHHH, she sighs and/or groans in tones typically reserved for delighting childhood governesses.]

Fine. If you will swear to stop fretting like a dog about a bone over it.

We can start when we get back.

[Her ughhhhs continue for some distance until some other topic of conversation arises, which - technically speaking - equals out to an impressive double surprise win. Archery lessons and you've dodged the singing bullet, Ellis. Congrats.]
