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.

why have you been burning shit?

[notathreat]

Dried dung's probably the best thing to burn when you don't have firewood. You haven't?

[muckspout]

Don't think so. Haven't always been the one starting the fires. But--[To the point.] don't know what burnt shit smells like but coffee shouldn't smell like that. You're doing it wrong.

[notathreat]

It doesn't smell like. That. It smells great, which is why it sucks because then it doesn't taste anything like how it smells.

[muckspout]

It is complex.

[duh!]

Don't like that?

[notathreat]

Hate that.

[muckspout]

So you like simple things. Like.... [He thinks for a moment and then says in delight.] rain water! You like rain water.

[notathreat]

You're not wrong. I like water. And tea.

[muckspout]

[An indignant huff.]

But tea is not simple at all! It is like coffee just--leaves. and flowers sometimes.

[notathreat]

It's super simple. You squish whatever it is and throw it in the hot water, right?

[muckspout]

No! You have to pick the right leaves and flowers at the right time and you gotta throw it in hot water for the right time and temperature. Exactly like coffee.

[notathreat]

At the right time and temperature?

You're making this way too complicated, man.

[muckspout]

[sputtering]

This is literally how you make tea!!!

[notathreat]

You just-- put pine needles in hot water and that's tea!

[Throwing up her hands!!!]
