Because my life isn't complicated enough, you want to send me into some strange city sans Dad, sans Batman, sans Birds, sans everything and everyone I know.

I get that I'm being stubborn about the whole, "I don't need any help," bit, but at least I'm flying solo on ground that I know like the back of my hand. Gotham's my home, my territory, not some weird alternate dimension you've got your heart set on. I have things to do and asses to kick and none of it's a game.

...I don't know a Cassandra Cain, why should I be happy she's there?

Why are you laughing?

Well, there's something to be said for trying new things.

[exitthewallflower]

When it comes to self-improvement, I draw the line at moving to a new dimension. [I'm still getting used to not living with Dad, for crying out loud.]

[plains_hunter]

Even bats have to migrate, now and then. Have to leave the cave, sometime. Besides, the Bat prides himself on being able to handle anything, doesn't he? What better way to prove yourself?

[feathersandflames]

If it makes you feel any better, it's not like you're leaving Gotham alone or anything. The city has, like, a ton of heroes.

Even if we're currently lacking a Robin. That's not just a rumor, right?

I mean, I get wanting to protect your city, but there's a whole world out there that needs protecting, too.

...I don't know about the alternate dimension thing, though. That just sounds...weird.

[batfail]

Ah, the mun-iacal laughter. I'd say it never gets old, but that's actually not true.

[exitthewallflower]

I didn't say I couldn't handle it, I said I didn't want it. I have a city to protect, I'm not looking to go international or anything. If I wanted that, I'd join the League.

[exitthewallflower]

The League can worry about the rest of the world. Gotham needs me. [As much as I need it.]

[exitthewallflower]

It's really annoying. [And more than a little disturbing.]

[plains_hunter]

Doesn't Gotham have enough bats, already?

[exitthewallflower]

Tell you what, when Gotham stops having the highest violent crime rate in the nation, I'll consider moving.

[plains_hunter]

I don't see that happening, no matter how many of you there are. Maybe you should lower your standard for success.

[exitthewallflower]

I don't lower my standards for anyone.

[darknessiknow]

Perhaps you should research the person in question. Then you may find why your mun is laughing.

[feathersandflames]

Except even Batman - whose primary concern has always been Gotham - is on the League. I'm just saying that being sent somewhere else to fight and protect isn't the worst thing. It's part of why you're in a costume, after all, isn't it?

[almost_admirable]

Unfortunately for us, the muns love throwing us out of our comfort zones. It's just something you've gotta deal with, and keep going.

[exitthewallflower]

I'm not saying I can't do it. I can do anything. I'm just saying, given the choice, I'd rather fight the fires in my backyard before I worry about the ones on the other side of the world.

[exitthewallflower]

I'm kind of okay with letting that sleeping dog lie for as long as possible.

[exitthewallflower]

It's not like I'm going to stop, it's just... I have things to do in Gotham, you know?

I love the fact you're using Kristen Connolly for the PB

[almost_admirable]

Considering there's probably about 200 violent crimes happening as we're talking, I can understand that.

[wing_of_night]

You'll like Cassie. She's... another Bat-girl. It's a long story. Short version is that her dad raised her to communicate solely through violence, Bats took her in and is gradually teaching her how to integrate with society.

She's kinda like a little sister to me. She's got a ways to go, but she's a good kid with a big heart.

Kristen Connolly FTW!

[exitthewallflower]

Never a dull moment.

[exitthewallflower]

...another Batgirl? Um, did I die or something in your world?

Yes! She's awesome!

[almost_admirable]

That's for sure.

[His last trip was pretty eventful]

Don't know how much the mun's going to care about that though.

[exitthewallflower]

Seeing as how she's still chuckling, I bet you're right on that one.

[almost_admirable]

Well I'm sure she's still getting a little amusement out of you not knowing one of the other Batgirls.

[Mun: You're not supposed to know that!

Tom: I'm in your head, I know what you know.

Mun: ... fuck.]
