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.

I think... [ Adrasteia sighs. ] I think you're right, but I think there are enough people who disagree with you in any given situation that it would be difficult to make work. Especially in a place where people are interacting with different cultural mores.

[sparklequeen]

It would be difficult, but it would still be worth trying. I have to think that.

[ She closes her eyes. ]

I can't let myself get cynical.

[kantikoy]

No, you can't.

You have a people to lead, don't you?

[sparklequeen]

I do. I've been gone so long, though...

[ What if they were dead? What if they didn't need her anymore? What if, what if, what if...? ]

[ Adrasteia leans over and places a hand on Glimmer's arm. ]

You'll have quite the tale to tell your people when you return to them.

[sparklequeen]

Yeah, I guess I will.

[ Her smile is slightly nervous. As if she's not quite sure she will return. ]
