∞ 39: Assessment [written]

My coat has been returned. It is no worse than it was before. Good.

Sephiroth is gone. Caesar would be frustrated, were he here.

A layered experiment, built upon over the days until it engulfs the entire village. I'm sure that residents will note that we haven't had something quite that elaborate in the past. The Malnosso were kind enough to reset buildings that were demolished or burned to the ground, as well as return those who were vampirized or killed.

Despite having a very effective form of communication linking every Filial here, we allowed the situation to devolve into an utter mess. It became a primal matter of survival, and instead of acting in groups, many acted alone -- and became victims (see Cloud Strife's entry and list).

I would like to ask everyone... Are you satisfied with how disorganized we are when faced with a crisis?

We have had protests against and calls for leadership in Luceti in the past. I am reopening the discussion in lieu of those who previously began them, since they are now missing from Luceti.

Your ideas. Your leaders. Let me hear of them. We have previously discussed a council to provide a form of structure, of government, who people can turn to. Some would rather have a single elected leader. Some have no interest in an established government at all.

To the latter, I once again direct your attention to Cloud Strife's entry. Those were only those who were bitten and turned. Think of those who were killed in the last experiment, or lost what the Malnosso will not replace.

Let me hear from you, Luceti.

This community is in need of some structure, I'll agree. Although, given the clash in views, all may not work out as planned. The smaller factions serve a purpose, although it is a shame that at least the leaders of these factions cannot come together during times of crises. If there is no viable place to turn, people will only look after themselves.

However there is a lot of promise here as well. I do not doubt that something can be worked out to bring together a more united group seeking to act in the best interests of the community.

I couldn't have put it any better myself. At the moment, there are only two groups of significant size, the Blue Rogues and Brave Vesperia, that bring together fighters and such. There is also the ... SOS Brigade, and another which I believe will be focused on providing support for New Feathers.

They serve purposes both specific and very broad, but without supervision or coordination, residents will fall outside of their scope. And, in the case of Brave Vesperia, some will simply not ask for their services.

Yes. Even if divided, a common ground between groups might not be such a bad idea, however idealistic it might sound on paper. Although, perhaps that is better left to those more familiar with the situation to consider, hm?

I fear there is little else I can truly offer at this time, though I certainly look forward to seeing some progress made in regards to this, especially since the future is so terribly... uncertain, at this point.

My, but I do go on. My name is Musette, dear; I suppose we haven't quite been introduced.
