Clearly, a curtsy is the superior tactical option. Clearly.
You also seem to be ignoring the consequences of success. Suppose, for a moment, that "just stabbing it" worked. We then have a city full of normal people falling out of the sky, killing most of them. Congratulations. What was that about consequences?
No, you're right, that's stupid. I think we've settled on saluting.
...Haruko was a witch now? We're here to kill Walpurgisnacht, and that is going to mean stabbing the doll. Unless you want to try diplomacy?
No, Haruko was a powerful opponent, just as Walpurgis is, that was ignored on the presumption that "hit it more" was a sound strategy.
However, getting everyone on the same page regarding how we approach this is good. Fanhunter696 had an addition for telepathy, but that leaves out the Tokyo girls.
It hasn't actually started its own speech yet, so we wouldn't be interrupting anything. It's also questionable whether it can speak, and to what extent it might want speech in its play.
Eh... I dunno. It's an enemy, sure, but it's still only an obstacle to Homura's true goals. Homura has never seemed to have any specific emotional attachment to it, swearing vengeance against it or other such silliness. Given our knight theme, and the context of the situation, I really can't see Homura objecting to it.
I'm not sure at all.
I'm not sure that there's anything else we can decide without more information, and there's not much we can do to get more information at the moment. I'd still like to have a better idea of what's going on with the humans in the surrounding areas, but it probably won't be much different from what we've already seen.
