[The feed clicks on to show Soren, a slim boy who looks to be in his late teens, gazing at the camera with a serious - possibly judging - expression.]
You've all been living in this place for how long, and you still haven't developed a proper system of government? I'm disappointed, though not surprised. Even if there are those of you who dislike or distrust government, things could be run better here.
Everyone seems solely responsible for their own food. It would be more efficient to form a team of hunters who bring their kills to a central location, along with a team of gardeners that does the same. Those who need food can take it, with a barter system of some sort if necessary. That way no one would go without, and things would be wasted less often.
In addition, more organized medical care and protection from monsters would be excellent things to work on. More organization in general would make living here much easier and less dangerous.
I have no desire to be a leader, but if anyone is interested in discussing these sorts of things, I am available. Feel free to contact me at any time. There's no reason things need to be like this. Don't be lazy.
[A pause, and his next words are said almost grudgingly.]
I'm a new arrival. If there's anything you think I should know about this place, I am willing to listen.

[SIGH.]
Rule number one of Adstringendum: Try thinking before you speak.

I don't see why you would need to get rid of anyone's rights in order to compose regular hunting parties, however.

What we don't have is a cure for arrogance.

Something you should know is that avoiding doing so is likely wise.
[Castiel is feeling a little better, so of course that means he's up to being a complete jerk to the new person.]

[Soren is more than capable of being a complete jerk right back.]

While these are good ideas, I think it's above your position as a newcomer to start demanding all of these things immediately!
[Video]
What measures are there?
[Video]
I am a member of the protection squad, which aims to install order on this city! In addition, Unohana-san runs a health clinic that provides shelter to newcomers and medical care to all of us! There is a shortage of food right now, but it's common to share by holding public events!
[...Though, for saying all of this, the boy looks a bit too thin, exhausted and slightly pale.]

I am the leader of the Protection Squad, sir. I can speak to you about these things, but please do not be so quick to judge.
I won't make excuses for us, but I believe that there are many explanations as to why things have not developed to your standards.
[Video]
I imagine I can anticipate some of the explanations. Human nature in general tends toward selfishness, and without a strong, competent personality to follow, will usually fall into this sort of chaos.
But I would be interested in speaking with you, about the Protection Squad if nothing else.
[Video]
[But then again, he's not strictly human.]
I am a soldier, not a politician. It is my duty and the duty of my squad to protect these people, not to police them. That is my role. Previous attempts at government have been overthrown- and you will soon come to learn that there are those who are very fond of anarchy. Unfortunately, these people also tend to be among the strongest in our civilization. Opposing them generally leads to discord, if not death. I aim to prevent that from happening.

So, spotted anyone you know around here yet?
[video]
[He's sure he would know if they were...]
[video]
[--he pauses, and rephrases.]
People end up here from all over! And I'd put it at about fifty-fifty-- but sometimes you're not the first from your world.

But Given The Fact That You Can Never Be Certain A Person Who Is Here Today Will Not Have Departed By Tomorrow
I Cant Imagine Any Sort Of Government Is Terribly Sustainable
Or Even Necessary

A communal greenhouse would be a useful thing, I believe.

I Imagine If It Was Truly Necessary They Would Have Found Some Way To Organize By now
Although It Is Just As Possible Others Have Tried And Have Since Been Sent Away
Yes It Should
Although I Am Not Certain Who All Is Involved At The Moment
The Initial Person I Was Organizing With Has Since Left

[Luckily, talking animals aren't totally new to Soren.]

[But, he can scrape up his manners just a little to make it less rude. Maybe.] My name is Simba, so now we're not strangers. What's that thing on your face?
