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 somewhere, 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 anything else sort of boring. You can provide context if you'd like, like "[ On the way back from Antiva: ]," but it isn't mandatory.

2. Post a few different remarks your character might make—similar to TFLN, except spoken out loud and less ridiculous, maybe, or maybe not, I 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. Threadjacking to create multiperson conversations is encouraged (unless someone says not to). Multiple different conversations between the same 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.

[ A small frown. ] Like whom?

[armd]

Is it so bad that I don't want you to fall off and hurt yourself?

[illithidnapped]

Well.

[If he's being backed into honesty of all things...]

Maybe once or twice.



...or more.

[illithidnapped]

Darling if you're after a list we're going to be here all night.

[Probably more than that, actually.]

Top five? Ten?

Give me a number to aim for and I'll whittle it down to the greatest hits.

[illithidnapped]

[Tsk.] Not personally, no.

Very exclusive creatures, always had to be booked in advance for parties.

[A beat, before:]

Had to be paid in advance, too.

[illithidnapped]

Oh no, my dear boy— that was all her.

[Insert the softest sigh here, as if reminiscing ever so fondly.]

[illithidnapped]

[Helpfully:]

Rutting on it's better.

[bouchonne]

[ Okay, this joke is going a little far. Still, Byerly tries to remain game: ]

I didn't even know she was so old. Hm.

[notathreat]

You know what? That's fair.

[notathreat]

[haha backed into]

Or more.

You're gonna make yourself bleed if you keep picking your nailbeds like that, Ellie.

[sparklequeen]

I see it, I see it--ugh, this place is falling apart.

[sparklequeen]

Oh, uh... that one is from Catra. The war?

2

[sparklequeen]

Uh, yes? [ Disbelieving stare. ]

[sparklequeen]

[ Glimmer, in the midst of tossing a roast almond into the air and trying to catch it in her mouth: ]

I mean, you're right. But all we have is normal ones--dang it.

[ And it bounces off her nose. ]

[sparklequeen]

[ Sprawled out on a couch. ]

You're probably right, honestly.

[notathreat]

Oh. Shit. Right.

I don't realize I'm doing it.

[favoriteanalyst]

Uh--right, sorry, that's probably not the best question to drop on you... Do you have anything like the Chant, where you're from?

[favoriteanalyst]

Of the Commandments, interesting. Do you like the certainty of the finite, or the idea of that give and take, an appeal toward the balance of powers and goods in mankind? Or is it something else?

[favoriteanalyst]

[mobius dot gif]

...You and I need to have several long conversations over several pots of tea, I think. I've been hard-pressed to get anything like that even out of a Sister.

[favoriteanalyst]

And that's a bribe.

[favoriteanalyst]

And makes a woman saying that her pants are wet much more...dangerous to comment on.

[favoriteanalyst]

It looks for the rest of the body to reattach to, somehow manages to consume rats, or is the cause of anyone getting an unexpected groping hand lately, depending on who you ask.

[Despite the augh that comes from him, he's definitely amused.] For what it's worth, I'd rather ride bareback that way than on a horse.

I saved a book for you. Stashed it out of sight so you'll get first crack at it.
