[ Video ] much later after that other one...

[Have a giant green man looking solemnly at the ICP camera in the training gym. He holds up a weapon--familiar to anyone who trains in the gym or with Piccolo's endeavors creating such weapons--and it suddenly disappears in a flash of light.]

Since we've decided we can't have nice things on board this train... don't ask me for anymore favors.

I get it. Trust me, I get it. But who're you punishing, really?

The guy who killed that kid would have found some way to do it. There are knives in the kitchen. Anything can be used to make a shiv.

And the asshole who... made that broadcast? Didn't need weapons.

Think we need to be focusing on that guy, and what else he's gonna figure is a crime and needs justice. Because I don't know about you, my friend, but I know my hands aren't clean...

[Well, no, his hands are definitely Not clean. Being a Demon King for a couple hundred years tends to disrupt that. Not to mention his own deeds after being reborn... but that's neither here nor there. More importantly:]

If you lot want to try that hard to kill one another then be my guest. The least I can do is take back what is mine. Make it a little less easy to find proper weapons.

[Not that Gladio doesn't have a point about anything being used as a weapon... and at least half the train roster not even needing a weapon to kill someone...himself included.]

...I'm pretty sure his ki isn't on the train anymore, or that it's being suppressed. I can't help you beyond that.

[Well, he probably could but...he's not sure how, or if he wants to at the moment.]

Re: Video

[callmegladio]

"You lot"? [Gladio raised a brow, looking mildly pissed off at the implication of that. He wasn't going around killing people. So far it had happened once. And once since the train started picking people up.]

Now isn't the time for knee-jerk reactions. It's time for finding the guy who did this before he does it again.

Not saying you don't have a right to take back what's yours. But if the shit hits the fan and this guy comes back for more now he's got a taste, just remember you left people with wooden tooth picks to defend themselves with.

[Not himself, of course. But most.]

[shutupnail]

Humans. [He's feeling very Righteous Kami right now. It's a horrible way to go and looks horrible on him. Send help.]

One of them is in captivity and the other is being hunted. On a train. What more could you possibly want?

Well that obviously doesn't matter with half the train's passengers anyway as you so elegantly pointed out. Obviously none of this will make any difference. Things will just go back to the way they were before I arrived and started using magic like I knew what I was doing with it. [This is why martial artists don't do magic, clearly! They're rubbish at it.]

[callmegladio]

[Gladio pinches the bridge of his nose, rubbing against the headache he'd has since this all happened. He was getting really pissed off, but anger wouldn't help anyone.]

Exactly.

So who're you protecting? You're robbing certain people of their ability to protect themselves, Piccolo. How is that the right thing to do?

You were helping people. One bad one in a hundred others? I don't get it. Explain the logic.

[shutupnail]

I'm not robbing anyone of anything they didn't already have. And these? Are in the training gym. No one claimed them. [Which as far as he was concerned was good. All they needed right now with all the high tension was for people to arm themselves with weapons they barely knew how to use.]

Clearly I wasn't helping anyone. You want a weapon, find one when we need them on the planets we travel to. It's never been a problem before now.

Or train in self defense. A lot better in my opinion anyway. [He should have just stayed a martial artist from the start. No more magic for him. It was his worst trait.]

[callmegladio]

[Just sighs and shakes his head, really not wanting to fight with Piccolo. He likes the guy.]

Understood.
