Comic #829: Mythic Ready (Patreon)

Sometimes things work better in rhyme. I had most of the premise for this one written, but I was struggling with the weight of the exposition. I needed to communicate so many different things and I didn't want it to be a dozen panels. By making it rhyme the exposition feels more natural.

I usually come up with a sentence that has the right rhythm and then see if I can find a good rhyme for the second sentence. Because of this I end up with a lot of unused sentence variations. Some of them were successfully paired with rhymes, others not. Here are some examples that I never used:

Panel 3: 

Nyte: With a rating that low, you will never get in.

Nyte: If its invites you want, then you need a good rating,

Nyte: Yeah, your rating is running a little behind….

Nyte: With a rating that low, you have no chance in hell

Panel 4:

Donald: friend nyte found a fun way to get my score high!

Nyte: Will someone please bury a sword in my eye?

Donald: friend nyte found a way to bump up my score

Nyte: Fun’s not the way I’d interpret this chore…

Nyte: I regret every choice that I’ve made in my life.

Panel 5:

Donald: My score's really high but I still can't get in!

Nyte: If you're queueing as damage it might be a wait.

Panel 6:

Donald: They want me! they want me! you did it my friend!

Donald: just look at each one of these groups I'll attend!

Panel 7:

Donald: They get me for heals and they have you to thank!

Nyte: Oh dear god in heaven that poor fucking tank...
