You say you have reconsidered and now seek to find me a home? I appreciate the thought, but I cannot help but notice you have been rather unpredictable of late. At times you meet your commitments, but we both know that isn't always the case.

Before you take further steps, it would be wise to be sure you are prepared. I do not abandon my allies and you should be certain you will not force me to do so.

Sometimes being thrown straight into the thick of things without prep can be the best option.

[yes, Steph, that's totally gone well for you before]

[maidofclay]

I'd think you'd have had enough of that option. I know I have.

[controlledvariable]

Nah, it's my favourite way to live. And it only ends in disaster about half the time.

[maidofclay]

There's something to be said for strategy and planning.

Even if its success rate isn't that much higher.

[controlledvariable]

I leave that to the boss. [which means Oracle, not Batman]

Plus, this way I don't end up freezing up if the plans go wrong. Improvising from the start has it's upsides.

[maidofclay]

And what do you do if your improvising goes wrong as well?

[controlledvariable]

Make up a plan B on the spot. And... plan C, D and E, if necessary.

[maidofclay]

If it works for you, I cannot fault it. Everyone has their own style.

[controlledvariable]

It hasn't got me killed yet.

And, to be fair, the time I did nearly get killed was because of plans. Which just proves my point.

[maidofclay]

It's good that you know your strengths and weaknesses and act accordingly. It can be a difficult lesson.

[bodilesswarrior]

I tell people this all the time. Do they listen? No, they get their butts handed to them and I have to fire the missiles.

Metaphorically speaking. [of course, babs]

[maidofclay]

Yes, that does sound familiar.

[batmanschmatman]

I'm pretty sure most of them have a pretty poor sense of self control, if that makes you feel any better.

[maidofclay]

That sounds like her. But that doesn't mean she can't improve.

[batmanschmatman]

It never hurts to be optimistic.

[maidofclay]

True, but if there's one thing I've learned since leaving Themyscira, it's that practicality has its place as well.

Of course her failure isn't inevitable - no one's is. And she means well. But she should still look before she leaps.

[demigoddess]

Any idea what kind of home your mun is looking for, Diana?

[maidofclay]

Somewhere with a setting she "finds interesting".

[demigoddess]

I'm guessing your interests aren't really being considered.
