<Snipped quote by Techspert>

It’s more than just some song to me! It is me. My work, my life, my thoughts and my feelings- my soul- all enveloped into that package you call music. It may be a shallow term to you, but to me it’s everything.

@Melodious

If you die here, your songs stop. Do you care about making music, or do you care about fame, recognition, glory, and profit?

*Speaks softly, but with fiery conviction*
If I let them take everything before they come for me, I might as well be dead already.

@Melodious

You'd throw your life away for a song?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

…
*With my arms at my side, clenches one fist so tensely that my hand shakes in frustration*
I can’t let them have everything, Time Line. I’ll have nothing left to fight for.

@Melodious

*With a sigh, walks in front of you and starts to lift my arms as if to put my hands on your shoulders, but decides against it in the last moment and crosses my arms instead*
If you die out there, then you truly won't have anything left.

“Preparation time” works both ways. Only, preparation time is more efficient for a bunch if people than it is for just one person, right? They benefit way more from both sides just biding their time.

@Melodious

I'd normally agree, but your opponents have enough resources that time isn't their bottleneck. You, on the other hand... Well, there's only so much one person can do, no matter how many talents they happen to have.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Not live. And especially not live for profit.

@Melodious

I can't help but question the wisdom of this straw, as you helpfully put it. If they're going to attack you anyway, do you burn your preparation time?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

There’s nowhere else to draw one! This is it. The last of what I have.

@Melodious

Couldn't anyone perform your songs on their own time if they wanted to anyway?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

More like the straw that broke the camel’s back.

@Melodious

Is it wise to draw the line here?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Not when someone else is taking it, slapping their name on it and performing it live without so much as a mention or a credit!

@Melodious

And to be clear, after everything you’ve gone through, this is the unpardonable sin?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

This is just as bad. Maybe even worse. This is taking away the last thing I still had.

@Melodious

It’s still your music. You wrote it; that’s irrevocable.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Maybe you don't know how seriously I take this stuff. This is as good as attacking me. Robbery!

@Melodious

More than they’ve already done physically?
