If Jazz had backed down, he wouldn't be the bot I know and love. He can do it, and he will. (Clearly I have too much blind faith in him XD) But I'm still glad he didn't back down, to money of all things.
No, I wouldn't kill you. I'd just severely maim you (joke). Truthfully, as long as the long-term damage incurred if this gambit fails is mitigated in some way (Prowl's intervention, perhaps?) then I don't mind which way it comes out.
Jazz is a stubborn bot, isn't he? I truly hope he can pull this off!
Just slight confusion on some of the politics. What was implied when Glyph pulled the coins from the coboard? And did Jazz have to pay a fine because all those bots got themselves sick? I love the depth you've put into this story and world!
The implication was that Glyph was going to pay the value of a Tribute instead of even attempting to perform. It would be like...all the greatest artists today getting together for a charity concert and Elton John walks onstage but instead of performing, cuts a check for a couple of thousand bucks and calls it a day. Technically he donated, but its not the same thing, and the fallout would be heinous.
Story-wise, that's what was about to happen. One coin for the Tribute, the other as a sort of social bribe after a fine for non-performance was taken out of it. Since Jazz decided to be difficult, Glyph has set it up so that everything is coming out of his pocket since a failed performance will only make things worse, plus she worked in a bit extra as revenge for going against her.
Jazz will either end up succeeding, or in financial servitude practically forever for crossing Glyph. She's petty like that.
Thanks for the read and let me know if you have any more questions!
Oh ya, Jazz just called her bluff and went double down!! I'm hoping he didn't just make himself a slave for life (I'm betting he is just too crazy good for that!!) But that was one pit of a bet!! Couldn't see him backing down given what she had thrown at him!!
Jazz's artistic pride was challenged, and his position as guild master means he always has to consider how to save face for the guild as a whole. I don't think he could have done any less, for better or for worse. (Also, I'm sorry for such a late reply. I really appreciate you taking the time out for the read!)

Please, Primus, let Jazz pass this one!

Would you kill me if I told you I am severely tempted to leave it to a coin toss? ^_~
