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.

Yet.

i haven't fixed icons so this is what you get

[wythersake]

You can say that about anything. Can you say that without stabbing it?

[justashotaway]

I can say many things.

[After a pause, and a little sniff.]

Is it dead?

[wythersake]

No. It eats them.

[ the dead. a careful pause of his own -- ]

Would you like to hold it?

[justashotaway]

You know that, but not what it is called?

[Dubious.]

Is it heavy?

[wythersake]

What would you call it?

[ he lifts it with both hands, gloved hands, the reason for which might be clear by the hyena cub's apparent desire to gnaw on literally everything ]

Careful. He already has teeth.

[justashotaway]

It looks like a dog. [ Though she's frowning as she says it, reaching out to take the creature, with little concern for its teeth. ] But a strange one.

[wythersake]

They eat like dogs, and live like them. In the desert we called them les hyènes.

[justashotaway]

Un hyène...

[Said more to the hyène in question than Isaac. It tries to bite her, and she gets her hand firmly around its muzzle.]

It is not as soft as it looks.

[And now that it's well and properly awake, it refuses to sit still in her arms.]

[wythersake]

Neither's Riftwatch. [ a pause, he amends: ] Well, mostly — I suppose we've our share of melty-hearted hardcases. You can put him down, just mind your shoes.
