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.

How were leaders decided upon in your world, Yuri Lowell?

I guess you could say there are two forms of government in my world -- the Union the guilds had, and the Council the Empire had. The knights had their own thing going on too, but that's something else entirely. I don't exactly have extensive knowledge on how things are done on either side, but I know the basics at least.
The Council was made up of high-ranking nobility and magistrates in some cases. They worked to regulate and improve the lives of those they managed to give a damn about, which meant the rest of the nobility and some of the middle class. I've got no idea how half of them got elected, but it's likely all due to their public status. I'm sure not all of them were scumbags, but most were. Still, they kept things organized, which is the only thing I can give them credit for.
The Union was made up of the leaders of the five master guilds of Dahngrest. One guild leader worked as the head the Union and made the important decisions, but the other four had their say before he really did anything, unless there wasn't time and the choice was obvious. I'm not too sure how they got to be part of the Union, but I'm guessing it was based on their success as guild leaders and ability to make big decisions.
There was Palestralle as well, but I'm not too sure how they worked.
And before we get too carried away here, a name would be nice.

Thank you for the explanation. A little background into the world such a group as Brave Vesperia comes from is appreciated.
