allthisshitisweird | 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.

1. Tell me some gossip you've heard lately.

2. I do apologize. I should have spoken up earlier. But are you really...walking around wearing that?

3. Who was your first kiss?

1. It's untrue as far as I've heard, but there's always room for error when dealing with such things.

2. By my estimation, we've at least an hour. Maybe two.

3. Well, that tends to be the trouble with such things.

4. Wildcard.

1. You have to hold still, or it won't take.

2. Can you swim?

3. We should try it on three, together.

4. Wildcard.

1. I hadn't heard.

2. It's meant for two hands. You'll have to set the shield aside, if you care to use that one.

3. Mind that section of the flooring, or you'll fall through.

4. Wildcard.

1. Hey, I'm still not hearing the part where that's my problem.

2. I'm not wearing that.

3. Where do you keep the good stuff? Top shelf?

4. Wildcard.

1. I'm reminded of a story I once heard.

2. No, carry on. This conversation is riveting.

3. I might leave this part out of any reporting you file.

4. [A spectacular old man crack! from both knees as he stands upright.]

5. wildcard

There's relatively little call for backstroke in the Chantry archives.

[Is he beginning to regret this given their present circumstances? Yes.]

A girl in a brothel above the Carastes shipyards.

[He doesn't bother with 'Yours?' That's not how these conversations work.]

[ Byerly’s brow ticks up in surprise - less because of the nature of the answer than because he was given an answer at all. ]

An employee thereof, or was that simply where you were meeting?

1. No, it's a very easy mistake to make. But it is, in fact, a staff, not a "fancy branch."

2. That one is true, except I didn't actually mean to slam the especially fragile rifter into the ground.

3. You know, after this many years of reading reports about red lyrium, I mainly just try not to think about it any time I'm not actively working on the project.

4. Wildcard

1. OK, gotta know. Does Thedas have "Never have I ever"?

2. Alright, so. The idea of surfing is that you take a particularly shaped, waxed board, and you can ride on waves, like, cross-wise. For fun.

3. Oh man, that plant looks weird, huh?

4. Wildcard

1. [After a very long silence.] ...I'm sorry, were you waiting for me to say something?

2. No, that one is definitely not edible, I'm very sure.

3. Wildcard

1. Do you think he's flirting, or trying to start a fight?

2. I think coffee tastes like burnt shit.

3. How'd you get that scar?

4. Wildcard

I don't know. Apparently there's a kind of orchid somewhere that looks like a little dude with his dick out.

[Calling from down the hall:]

8 outta 10!

Yep. You'd be surprised how often old buildings get flooded. Or the only way forward is a sewer.

1. Love or money?

2. If you liked that [ dish, pastry, music, theatre production, etc., pick one, ] you must seek out my friend in Val Royeaux—

3. J'sais pas. I heard a rumor you were sleeping together.

4. [ During an incredibly uneventful, not-dangerous trek between city-states: ] If I were a dragon, this is where I would look for snacks.

5. Is everything alright? You seem worried.

6. Wildcard.

1. Bet I can get him to throw the first punch.

2. Do you have to make that noise?

3. If you fall off [ the griffon, which he is using to provide a lift somewhere, ] we're not diving after you.

4. Wildcard.

We call it 'theological debate' here.

1. Do you think I'm too old for this? Be honest.

2. Here I thought complaining was one of the schools of magic.

3. You can always tell a blood mage. They wear kohl around the eyes.

4. Wildcard.

[Cue the brief upward migration of eyebrows, a pause to formally assess the situation to hand, and then—]

What are we betting?

[ From within incredibly Nevarran garb: ] Fereldans don't get to have opinions about clothes.

[ All are written on notepaper, or, if you want to attempt to understand it, in hand signs. ]

1. How long have you been here?

2. What do you do to entertain yourself?

3. Do you know the Avaar?

1. Please stop staring. It's only a little blood.

2. Yes, I almost died, but I didn't, so let's move on.

3. Please tell me you don't need stitches. Please.

4. Wildcard.

I certainly hope he doesn't mean to be flirting. It seems rather... Unfortunate.
