Dusting off the cobwebs and looking for a home

[prosecutionisready]

Both you and I are clearly too busy to be doing this again.

Besides, you don't even know where to start. Once you've gathered your thoughts and have actually come up with some sort of a decent plan, please refrain from dragging me into your so called escapades.

Now what's the fun in following a plan?

[prosecutionisready]

For one, things get done correctly.

[besmirchthis]

The whole notion of correctness is hideously dull, not to mention misguided. Nothing about the law is precisely correct. How in the world do you presume to measure any propriety of procedure?

[prosecutionisready]

I never implied that there was a need for complete correctness. I merely requested a decent plan. And of course nothing about the law is precisely correct. The same could be said towards any matter outside of law as well. However, to tackle a situation head-on without any prior strategy is hardly effective.

[besmirchthis]

Well, if you meant half-correctly, you ought to have said half-correctly. [A smirk. A shrug. It's true.]

Besides, I find that going planless is often the most fruitful approach. It fosters creative thinking and unlocks performances not otherwise found. It opens up solutions that might have gone entirely unnoticed. And it certainly looks more impressive.


((ooc: i apologize if Fallon's being a jackass. he sort of does that sometimes.))

[prosecutionisready]

While creative thinking certainly is essential, there is no place for blindly stepping into a courtroom. Not all situations can succeed without a plan.

(ooc: Don't worry! )

[besmirchthis]

It's worked well enough for me. Blindly stepping into courtrooms, that is. My partner occasionally protests, but as it always turns out for the best, he can't say much at all.

You know, it works just as well outside the courtroom, too.

[prosecutionisready]

You sound similar to a certain lawyer I know. Though I don't believe he is purposefully reckless.

As I stated prior, not all situations can succeed.

[besmirchthis]

Not with that attitude, they can't. [Shrug.] Stop worrying about what might happen. Let events unfold, and you'll find you make a way for yourself.

A little calculated recklessness can go a long way. And this lawyer friend of yours... It's good to hear that there are others willing to shake free of procedural chains. Maybe you could learn something from him.

[prosecutionisready]

It is difficult to simply let events unfold at times. Sometimes they surprisingly lead towards a positive light, but that is not always the case...especially when the fate of another is in your hands.

Perhaps the mixture of a reckless and carefulness creates a balance though. [ That is what seems to happen when he and Wright are searching for the truth.. ]

[besmirchthis]

But that gives you all the more impetus to find a solution. Raise the stakes, and you'll just have to take even more care to keep your head in the game.

Balance. [He waves a hand, then lets himself think about it for a moment. That might be, probably is something that McGee has offered as a partner. Maybe.] I suppose it isn't the worst idea I've heard. Still. Don't you think you're taking carefulness too far?

[prosecutionisready]

I think this conversation has spiraled into a place where neither of us can convince the other any else aside from what we respectfully believe in. I have had my fair share of moments where I end up rushing into situations without a second thought, so I do not believe that I take carefulness too far. I have had a taste of both sides, and I prefer structure. You, from what I understand, prefer to think on your feet. It is something I honestly cannot argue against as I have realized that I do know another that does the same. The person in question is one I have the utmost faith in, so thinking on that, I will stand by my belief that the balance between the two is what is necessary.

[besmirchthis]

[Blinks. Smirks.] Well. If you feel that strongly about it, I suppose we'll have to accept your resolution. As a potential solution, or one that suits you.

Shall we drink to it?
