first formation

[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.

Wow, I'm super glad someone that's been here for five minutes told us something we totally haven't been trying to accomplish for the past few years without getting each other killed or getting rid of some people's rights.

[SIGH.]

We have regular hunting parties. We also have a system of protection.

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

You presume a great deal for a new arrival.

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.]

There are measures in place to do exactly that! And we are not lazy! [oh no stop him before he keeps talking]

While these are good ideas, I think it's above your position as a newcomer to start demanding all of these things immediately!

There's no hierarchy dependent on that, but it's very rude to cast judgement when you haven't lived in this city! [yes gau talk about casting judgement immediately]

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.]

[Rome sort of tilts his head at that.]

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.

Human nature, perhaps.

[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.

When bloodrain ruins your food supply, let me know how willing you are to let it sit around waiting. Or an earthquake. Or fireballs. Or the person who was supposed to be looking after it getting taken home suddenly.

But no, I guess we're all just fucking lazy.
