∞ 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.

Not to be a downer, but I think I'm getting an Animal Farm scent from this. Of course, I haven't fucking read that since.. Sophmore year but..

Animal Farm?

Are you satisfied with how disorganized Luceti is?

You should pick it up. I'm sure it's around somewhere.

Better question: You really want to give the assholes around that have tormented us a chance to have something to take over? AND with people coming and going whenever the hell the Malnosso feel like it, how are you gonna have officials? If it's one person, that's worse, because if they fuck off and go back home, you'll be right back at square one. Do you really think it'll work in a place where only a fraction are really gonna give a fuck about what the leaders say we should do in a situation?

I'm not saying it's crazy or anything, but how do you plan to have order when there's constant chaos? From my experience, it doesn't matter if you have leaders or authority or police, shit still happens and sometimes, it gets WORSE. But, do what you want, bro.
