Third Rule

I have a question.

[Gilgamesh goes from looking at the "camera" to turning the book around to see what he's seeing - two of the 'berserk' residents wandering around the Palace district.]

Are we supposed to kill these things, or are we putting them down gently?

[Two bursts of light lash out from behind the camera and impact the affected citizens in the head, knocking each one over with a crack and laying them unconscious (possibly comatose) on the pavement. For a split second before the projectiles disappear, it's clear that that they were, in fact, swords - launched hilt-first.]

I ask because on the one hand, they sure as hell look like zombies. On the other hand, I just know there are a bunch of bleeding hearts here who don't want me killing things that might be human. But on the other hand: zombies. Also if they were normal humans this would probably kill them anyway. Since it's not, again: zombies.

I just wanted to clarify before I have to answer some thrown-together farce of a trial later from one of your knightly-types. Saber. Let me know, though, they're starting to get everywhere.

[Another crack of the same type indicates Gilgamesh has smashed another person's head off-camera somewhere before he ends the feed.]

I THINK, generally speaking, you're gonna wanna figure out whether they really ARE zombies before snuffing them. 'Cause lemme tell you, leaping before you look can bite you in the ass.

Anyway, they're still people with jobs and families. Gotta see if there's something you can do for 'em, right?

You ought to be more concerned with our benefactors than with me.

[Minako's on duty today too, using the blunt end and the long hilt of her naginata to knock anyone who seems affected out. She had been taking a break when she noticed the video on the network and figured she should give an answer because hey. Killing people is not cool.

There's a creature in the background, who seems to merely be knocking any affected person out with its lyre.] I think knocking them out is the best option!

[And another one approaches and goes down as Minako swings her weapon around, smacking the woman in the head hard enough to knock her out.] ... Maybe tying them up in case they wake back up and feel like continuing would be a good idea too...

Z-Zombies?! But zombies aren't real!

[ Then again, neither are robotic statues, magical girls, or ancient gods. ]

Why does everything in this world contradict what we already know?!

[phobophage]

They aren't zombies. Just mind controlled or something. I can tell. So just cut it out already.

Action okay with you? I can change this tag if not

*Einhard would've answered with something along the lines of killing was bad. If she had been, you know, listening to the PDA book.

She was kinda busy punching crazy people in the face.

So that's where she is, already in Adult Mode as she ends up sending one of the crazy mind-controlled people to the ground with a punch... and ending up right in front of Gilgamesh.*
