When you're thinking up a solution to a problem, you need to consider the ways in which things could go horribly wrong. Actions which are fueled by the best intentions don't always lead to the best results.

Is now really the best time for the Song Knights to start turning on each other? From a player perspective it'd be organized, but from a character perspective is it really a good idea to start pointing the finger at certain individuals and start 'chewing' them out? xD
Talking to the crowd is also a risky move, as upset people usually don't like being lectured to. An apology could work, but what's Mary going to say? "Sorry, I didn't know that riding a meteorite into town could cause trouble?" xD
