I've been keeping up with a lot of the discussion going on around here for the past few days and I've noticed a few things that are frankly concerning.
Issue 1: People are fighting these things. Killing them, maybe? I don't know.
Now, if you have experience fighting supernatural/superpowered beings,it's fine that you want to fight. Hell, I'd ask you to fight. I'd ask you nicely and I'll get to that later. If you don't know what you're doing and you just think fighting monsters is cool, then you need to accept that its actually not cool. You can hurt yourself and you can hurt other people. And no one, not even the experienced people, are in any position to say that they won't. Fact: People make mistakes. The need to accept that they make mistakes and they need to accept that there is a such thing as being held accountable for your actions. So, consider this a warning: if people who don't have any business fighting zombies decided that the laws of common sense no longer apply to them, they will be detained for their own good. Don't think I can't do it.
Yeah, I know, common sense isn't a law. It should be.
Moving on, I have to say that I take an issue with killing these things at this point in time because we don't actually know what they are. These could be soulless monsters or they could be the risen dead or they could even be people who have gotten sick or cursed by magic. We don't know. Finding out is a priority.
Issue 2: We don't know where they are coming from. Yes, the graveyard. How delightfully B-Movie. There is a source. Cutting them off at the source makes a hell of a lot more sense than just hacking them to pieces as we find them.
That might be construed as advice. If you have no business fighting zombies, please forget you just heard that part. Thanks.
Right. Now. Investigations. Let's have one of those. What we are fighting, if its okay to kill them, if they CAN be killed, and how they got here is all important information. Think about it: We all come from different
universes with different populations. One man's zombie might be another man's president.
Issue 3: Local law enforcement? Anything? Come on, guys. Where I come from, the police get so annoyed when I do their job for them, but it never seems to stop them from being conspicuously absent when its time to throw it down.
All that said, I'm erring on the side of them being monsters. Better safe than sorry. People who want to make money fighting zombies? Prove to me that you belong on a task force and consider it done. My last roll call didn't go over very well, but now there's money on the table. And a shiny new headquarters. With a pool. And maybe a butler. I mean, why not? People love butlers.
Try to guess what I'm going to ask you to do. Try to guess. Come on.
