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.

Love.

What would you choose?

[cozen]

Money. No question.

[ He makes no attempt to look like he isn't full of shit. ]

[justashotaway]

[ (x) doubt ]

Why?

[cozen]

You can't eat love.

[justashotaway]

We are not choosing between love and dinner.

[cozen]

[ Laughing, ] Maker, well of course no one will choose money if all you are allowed to do is look at it.

[justashotaway]

What if you had love and a little money?

[cozen]

Mmm. How little?

[justashotaway]

Enough to eat.

[cozen]

To eat bread crusts and thin soup, or to eat meat and cheese and chocolate tarts?

[justashotaway]

You may have an entire slice of bread.

[cozen]

[ After a long, thoughtful pause: ]

Money.

[justashotaway]

Love is better.

[cozen]

You think so?

Things must be going very well with Matthias.

[justashotaway]

We are talking about you, not Matthias.

[cozen]

We can talk about both.

[justashotaway]

What is there to talk about?

[cozen]

You tell me. You are the one eating nothing but bread for love.

[justashotaway]

I also receive a thin soup.

[ you said so, bastien!!! ]

Matthias is a good person.

[cozen]

Better than meat and cheese and chocolate tarts?

[justashotaway]

Yes.

[cozen]

[ His awwww face goes on for several seconds, but to make up for it, he also leans closer and drops his voice to admit, ]

So is Byerly.

[justashotaway]

[ A startling admission - Laura's eyes widen slightly. ]

Is he?

[cozen]

I mean—it is very close. Especially chocolate tarts.

[ He weighs his hands in front of him. Byerly, chocolate, Byerly, chocolate... ]

But he's a little better.

[justashotaway]

What makes him better? Chocolate is very good.
