allthisshitisweird | 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. Or something not boring! Banter in the middle of combat is fine too.

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.

OPTIONAL GAME: We're playing BINGO. Complete a row/column/diagonal for 10 extra AC bonus points. The threads for each square will need to have at least 5 tags from you to qualify, as usual, and you can't use one thread for multiple squares. You can submit them on your AC comment labeled as B1, I2, etc., to claim the points. If you're very dedicated and get bingo more than once, you can claim the bonus more than once, but not more than five times.

A. I've always been able to ride a horse. Obviously.

1. [ After someone else is mentioned (just let me know who it is one way or another), ] Do you know each other very well?

2. What is your favorite place in Kirkwall?

3. If the Qunari decide to take Thedas while we are fighting amongst ourselves, what do you think they will make you do?

4. [ Wildcard! ]

1. He is not that good-looking.

2. Didn’t they sacrifice most of their own people to summon demons? [ Or you/your, if someone has the misfortune of being a Warden. ]

3. If we could give them Orlais and know they would leave everywhere else alone, I would not see the problem.

4. [ Wildcard! ]
