The Winged Strategist

In light of the current situation, I would highly recommend that everyone residing outside of the village move into the village ... lest they wish to risk an end like what we have seen.

Blue Rogues, Brave Vesperia, Sir Sigmund. A discussion, if you will. About defenses.

Mitsuru Kirijo, Sir Golbez. I would like to speak with you.

Anyone else who wishes to collaborate in a defensive plan, please speak with me or Sir Sigmund. We will both be watching this entry.

[ooc: By discussion, he means amongst themselves, not specifically with him. Groups need to interact, after all. Feel free to jump threads and get your own threads going in here. Consider it a mass conversation. :|b Aaaand I'll be replying myself in a few hours.]

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.

Hauntings. How quaint.

What do they hope to instill in us by showing us ghosts of the past? They already bring in choice people, regardless of being living or dead, whenever the New Feather cycle comes around.

Weakening mental defenses seems to be the simplest logic to follow. But for what reason? Perhaps this is only the beginning of something else?

But there are still a week's worth of these disturbances. It would be best to get used to this.

Significant return of powers. Extension of the barrier. The return of infinite food supplies and other materials. New Feathers continuing to appear. Experiments.

The Malnosso must be confident in their ability to keep us contained with half of our powers diminished.

Everyone, please don't do anything rash.

Now more than ever, we need to be united in our information resources and our planning. I'm already hearing the din of chaos around me; people are panicking.

Yes, the sky has gone red.

Yes, residents may in fact have their powers back.

...Yes, the Filial wings are still there.

Professor Raine. Vyse. Watari. Mark. General Sephiroth.

Anyone who is thinking enough not to run off recklessly.

We meet to hold a meeting. Now.

I will be in the schoolhouse. Please respond with what you've seen and what you can offer in terms of assistance.

[ooc: ...For the sake of my sanity, the meeting isn't going to actually happen separately from this entry. Hopefully I can be coherent enough to come up with more plans.]
