PARTY 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 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.

[Blows a raspberry.]

...

We slow-danced together. She was fresh out of a breakup. She was drunk and she kissed me in front of her ex, and all three of us had been friends for years. I thought she was just out of it and trying to make him jealous.
bouchonne: (gosh i dunno)

Hm. Well, having heard only part of this story, I have a rash snap judgment. That one was her fault.
notathreat: (67)

[personal profile] notathreat 2022-06-09 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, she figured that out eventually.
bouchonne: (droll)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2022-06-10 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
And yet you still believe her criticism of you?
notathreat: (54)

[personal profile] notathreat 2022-06-10 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
… you have a point.
bouchonne: (supercilious)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2022-06-10 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm-hm!

[ Smugly: ]

If you need any further wisdom, I have plenty.

[In her fanciest voice and fake Fereldan accent:]

Oho? Impart unto me your wisdom.
bouchonne: (ummm?????)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2022-06-10 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Why are you doing an imitation of a Nevarran?
notathreat: (5)

[personal profile] notathreat 2022-06-10 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It's Ferel-

Shut up.
bouchonne: (delighted!!)

[ A snicker. ]

Don’t learn to play the lute.
notathreat: (99)

[personal profile] notathreat 2022-06-10 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Grumble.]

Okay, why not?
bouchonne: (ah yes)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2022-06-10 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Because lutists are dreadfully full of themselves. The fiddle or the cello - those are good instruments for good people.
notathreat: (65)

[personal profile] notathreat 2022-06-10 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
What about the dulcimer? Kind of a grey area?
bouchonne: (gosh i dunno)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2022-06-10 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
No, the dulcimer is fine. Even charming. You have my permission to learn the dulcimer.
notathreat: (41)

[personal profile] notathreat 2022-06-10 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad I have your permission to learn the instrument I already play.
bouchonne: (smug fuck)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2022-06-11 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
You’re welcome. What other instruments do you want to know about?
notathreat: (19)

[personal profile] notathreat 2022-06-12 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
What about singing? Are you a dick if you sing?
bouchonne: (gosh i dunno)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2022-06-12 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I sing.

[ If she doesn’t make the obvious joke here about his dickishness, he’s going to be very disappointed in her. ]
notathreat: (17)

[personal profile] notathreat 2022-06-12 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, so a massive one.

[Heart eyes motherfucker.]
bouchonne: (delighted!!)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2022-06-13 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ +10 approval ]

You rude little monster!

Can you do both at once? Sing and play?
notathreat: (123)

[personal profile] notathreat 2022-06-16 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Of course.

In a parallel universe, I did it professionally.
