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.

Totally are. We should also establish that High Elf Boss is probably like a hundred years older than you and a total hottie.

Embrace the truth, babe.

[wythersake]

I suppose I just don't see it. He seems — slippery. Like the sort of man who waxes.

[windyvoice]

I'm ignoring the fact that waxing is apparently just like a thing that exists in this ancient past world. Pretty sure elves not having a lot of body hair is universal though.

[wythersake]

That's why it's so strange that he does it.

[windyvoice]

Wow, that's some wild rumor you're trying to start about our incredibly old and hot elf boss. Like how would you even know, babe?

[wythersake]

Treated his wounds at Ghislain. Slippery.

[windyvoice]

Did you wax his ass too and that's how you know his darkest secrets.

[wythersake]

Secret interrogation technique. I can divulge no further.

[windyvoice]

Did ya slip him a few fingers. Does his wife know.

[wythersake]

Mm. Don't tell that other sallow old man who trails her about.

[windyvoice]

Don't know him anyway. If it makes you feel better, she's way hotter than both of you. That's not even preference, that's just facts.

[wythersake]

We may agree upon that much. A waste to have masked her so long.

[ bc she's pretty. and an elfblood who got her family unnobled. that was also a waste. ]

[windyvoice]

Babe, you know I'm like an alien ghost or what the fuck ever and totally don't catch those like super relevant political zingers.

[wythersake]

Too late to be relevant. How were the two of you acquainted?

[windyvoice]

We preformed that Cats musical for an old rich lady for a mission. Fuck if I remember why.

[wythersake]

I've been meaning to see that.

[windyvoice]

It's crazy horny and dumb at the same time. Ten outta ten. Hey, speaking of, if Hot Elf Boss waxes, do you think that means he takes it from his wife?

[ Illustrative hand gestures thrown in. ]

Wait, do you guys even have like strap ons yet?

[wythersake]

[ a pause, ]

How old were you, again?

[windyvoice]

Forty five.

[wythersake]

Well - [ guess what conversation he's not having] - I thought I'd take the Speaker along, I don't know that's he's seen Orlesian theatre.

[windyvoice]

[ Okay, she's gonna let that diversion happen cus: ]

That's Agate Penny's dad, yeah? He's cool. How does he feel about horny cats?

[wythersake]

I don't expect that he knows what to do with one.

[windyvoice]

Rad, that's like the perfect mindset for going to see that show. Get super drunk before you go.
