Check TW for bites. We may have infected her, and we don't need another banshee.
Give Zero food. Dont care what kind of food, just give it to him.
After returning to normal, Zero should ask TW if him going feral was caused naturally or magically. Check to see if there's nothing doggy in it too (may have some wolf left in us. Could be weaponized during Rage).

Also hey all. I just read some fucking 220+ pages...my eyes feel like they're bleeding, but it was kinda worth it. Kudos GM.
"You fly forwards and knock Zero down on the floor before he can bite TW"
"Feral" would be caused by his lack of food, he then tries to eat the nearest thing available, like, least that makes more sense than magic from no where,
Edit: Well maybe the dog thing but I don't see it, we were completely sane (well no less saner) whilst a wolf, why would we change after turning back?

For fucks sake, all of you go back and read from the start again up until just after we infect Snowflake, that'll explain it.

Thank you so very much for repeating yourself, if it bugs you so much just flipping post it in a quote instead of whining.
Here: "Hunger: 1/20(Hunger will affect how clearly you think)"

This may not be the part you meant but its one line long and gets the point across, low thinking ability due to hunger, hungry, nomnom into nearest food. Was that so hard?
And I take offence to the "all" part of your sentence, only like 2 of us had the stupid idea it was magic/magic related.(Edit: by comparison)

Edit: Sorry if that offended you/was a tad rude, you insulated we need to go back to the beginning to see that smart zombies need to eat to remain smart/clear thinking.

We all ride towards a harbor so we can get on a boat. The trip was surprisingly difficult, as nobody wanted to talk except for Iris. And she just wanted to know where Zero went.
After a good 6 hours of driving, you get out of the cars and just have a sit-down. everybody gets some sandwiches from a stand nearby.
Zero won't eat it.
Just tell the thing what happened. It'll be for the best, or at least, amusing.
What she doesn't know cannot hurt her.
I agree with pink, here. I'm just going to get some fish, and feed him, alright?
You'll have to deal with this, you know.
You jump, startled by the sudden emergence of sound from right next to you. This the first time she's spoken after Zero's... Incident.

Iris will discover it. How she does it, will be up to you. I'm not coming near that cage.
She looks angry. But in that sad sort of way, not furious "Gonna kill everything" angry. It's kind of worrying.
We'll get to the harbor in a few moments. We can get some fish, he can eat it, he'll be back to normal.
I hope that works, but until then he's a liability. A dang-
You slap her before she continues. The tension in the air can basically be cut with a butterknife, but Iris thankfully comes leaping out of the nearby bushes.
I caught a squirrel!
Sure enough, she has a live squirrel in her mouth. You take it from her, leaving her somewhat disappointed, and you go into the truck and throw it in Zero's cage. You hear sounds of the squirrel being ripped apart.

He doesn't seem to do anything else, so you get everybody inside the trucks again. Iris continues with her questions, so at least you can take your mind off things.
When you arrive at the closest harbor, you're in luck. There are some fresh fish available.
Again, he eats it. Rather messily, guessing from the sounds. Time to just get some zombies in crates for the local cruise ship.

Iiiiiriiiiiis...
You look up, startled. The crab you were playing with scuttles off while you are distracted. You knew Zero was still around!
You rush towards the trucks, and open it up, pushing aside the Zero's helpers.
Could you... come a bit closer. Iris? I need something from you.
Sure thing! You say. And you walk right up to... A cage?
Weird.
Please... Come a bit closer to the bars.
You stand up on your hind legs. Zero's face is smiling at you! You instantly smile untill...
Something's off about him. He's not really looking at you, or at anything from the looks of it. Suddenly his eyes gain focus again, and he looks right at you. His hair is sticking to his forehead, and some blood is dripping off.
You carefully take a step back. He's a bit sc-
Zero lunges at you through the bars but the bars stop him from getting to you. He starts screaming and yelling in the most terrifying voice you ever heard as you sprint out of the truck.

Told you to warn the brat. Now look at this. Fine job, pinkie.
It's only temporary, don't worry. TW says whilest attempting to comfort Iris.
It'll be fine, alright? We'll figure something out. Really.
Iris just keeps crying. You honestly can't tell if it's from the scare or what's happening with zero.
Or maybe she isn't too happy about you not telling her? Fine job princess.
Shut up. You accidently say out loud.
You clutch your head as she continues to chastise you. You stumble off somewhere. You need some time to.. figure things out.

Hm. Make the zombies hunt squirrels or something. Anything to get more food quickly.

I still support have TW put him to sleep. Or try to do the reverse of the angry-making-thing that she did with Roy.

Angry making thing? This is about HUNGER not anger! Just stuff food down Zero's throat until he's sane again for fuck's sake!

Doesn't matter, makes sedative.
Anyway, are you absolutely sure that just feeding him more would fix it? His hunger status is still fucked up. This might have caused problems where the cure is different to the prevention.

Yes it has happened before. No need to get your knickers in a twist.
But that time he wasn't seperated from food for multiple days, or been shown to lose his appetite.

It could be, but this might not be just about meat.  Zero might be low on some neurochemical only found in humanoids, or at least sapients.  It would explain why his own brain is fucked up if he's missing something brain-related.

Give Zero more meat and fish until he's full.  If he's still a wreck, assume it's a brain chemisty problem, and get him some food that used to think (prioritize brain and spinal column).  Be discreet.  We don't want a full-scale riot when our leader and most powerful individual is either out of the fight, or as much a threat to us as to everyone else.  Don't worry if his stomach ruptures, he can regenerate that away anyway.

Meanwhile, explain to Iris that you and Zero have special dietary needs.  You're like diabetics, in that you need to eat frequently and carefully.  If you don't, your bodies (including brains) don't work right, but it's scarier than a normal diabetic because you have superpowers, and what you need to eat is different.  It's nothing personal, Zero is just so desperate that he's not himself right now.  Just please keep fingers out of the cage until the whole world stops looking like a tasty sandwich to him.

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

If this doesn't go away, we're going to have to start looking for alternatives. That means, someone who knows more about this zombie thing. That means, either tracking down that final Small Horse zombie lab, tracking down Shasha or going to Texas.

Or we could embrace our zombiehood and go eat a city or two. That's always fun.

EDIT: Hey, what happened with that video we had posted yesterday (in-game)? What does the media and the people say?
