It may be that the player consistently runs into some character and hears either directly or eavesdrops on them retelling their latest adventures or plans for near future, with following encounters expanding on those.

These can be something that can't be interacted with at all, or they offer certain side quests that influence the side story in some manner (or possibly ending them prematurely).
