[Rhyme/Flow] Unable to produce the sweet Rhymes

[genesisArtificer]

Hey. I rolled Rogue of Rhyme recently, and I have a mayor question:

I have high natural Flummoxie, but my Verbalistamina is really, really low. I know about the glitch in stats. Does it make my 'moxie useless while dishing out ice? Do I really have to grind 'stamina?

Is shitty rap the actual thing that contains essence of Shade? My Whisperings were chill with me from very beginning of the session, is that how they roll, or am I doing something right?

Oh hey, I just saw this again - taken from the comments on my cooking guide:

And [any inseticide] || [any soda] will make the Possibly Toxic Beverage, which is fine by itself and gives you a little boost in Pluck, but the catcher is that if you combine Possibly Toxic Beverage && [any booze, but the stronger the better] || biophosphoradelecrystalluminescence, you'll have the Killer Cocktail. Restores Pluck and Health, STUPIDLY boosts Verballistamina, tastes great and GLOWS. Best drink for a karaoke/rap party ever created by mangled, butchered lines of coding entirely in ~ath that you'll ever see even if the rest won't be able to drink, and you can do the old-fashioned trick with gummi bears, too.

I haven't tried it, and I don't know how safe it is, but the Killer Cocktail might help to buffer your 'stamina when you need it. I honestly know nothing about Rhyme or Flow, though.

I am pretty much immune to radiation, yet this is just... sure death for any not Doom Player.

Augh.

[timelyTurnabout]

How did you manage that? Seems like a nice trait to have.

Space Cadet here. How do you think any of us would survive Atomik Bonsai?

Any other ideas, that are not "Go grind stamina on Derse"?

I think I would be awake for a while

I put this in the Flow section but I guess it applies here, too. Rhyming dictionaries. Get a book and start scribbling down every rhyming couplet you can think of.

It should be mentioned that most people, in fact, don't.

Huh, not a bad plan. Also...grinding Verbalistamina isn't really that bad. Making the effort towards that bit of self-improvement goes a long way.

My current puntastic ways are actually the side effect of having so much fun as a Hero of Flow, that I wanted to see how good I could get on my own, without the help of game mechanics.

It's a bit slower than rapping at the Auditorium, but there was a carapace on Derse named Lovesick Eccentric who had a small side-quest, which you could apparently repeat without limit. It helped me build up my Verballistamina before I got over being too shy to do rap battles (that admittedly I was still bad at). Basically all you have to do is help him compose a love poem for a "classy Prospitan lady" he met at a masquerade. Poor guy is adorably head over heels, but woefully bad at expressing himself.
Best part is you don't have to complete the poems on the spot. I actually got in the habit of just writing love poems whenever I got a spare moment while I was dreaming, and just made sure to keep them in my pocket.

[Nefer Nightbug]

Yeah, just do that. That, or rap battle Carapacians in the Auditorium.
