Afternoon everyone. This is Goro Akechi speaking.

We have come to find ourselves from a quite troubling situation. All thanks to acts of those from Rumpitur. I have heard the talk around the town about what should we do with them. Some of the people of Aldrip seem to be advocating for revenge, while others forgiveness.

Normally, I think the wisest choice of action would be leave the situation behind us and not to get involved in the politics of this world. But this is different. This wasn't a random attack or act of a beast, but carefully planned and intentional action against us. If we hadn't been successful in our rescue mission our numbers would have depleted no doubt. Who knows, the kidnappings could still be ongoing.

[He doesn't really care much for most of you. But this time they had hit where it hurt.]

What do you think, my fellow Chosen? Stay still and leave them be, potentially risking another attack. Or retaliate? Although, I believe it is important to remember that we still don't have all the details. Making this whole ordeal seem just more suspicious.

As for what I think? I believe something needs to pay for this.

Even if we don't attack, we need to set up a defense.

[He's pretty sure he'd like to attack, though, but he doesn't want to say that before he knows how popular that idea is.]

[murderingjustice]

if i'm correct we do have a party that had been preparing for emergencies, such as an attack of another beast. there was even talk of a patrol at one point, but I don't think that thought ever came to fruition.

[something that he had actually been opposed to...]

what are your suggestions?

[solitarysoul]

I don't know. A patrol is a good start. Maybe find a way to get intelligence on them. Or any other places that monster might be affecting.

[murderingjustice]

the patrol, as i understood, was originally formed by a girl name Usagi Tsukino. She's no longer her, but her idea was to use the patrol to watch after ourselves. for that reason I was against it. so you'd have to talk to those who were in favor of it.

[solitarysoul]

I don't want to police us.

[That's how he reads "watch after ourselves," at least.]

But if the locals won't or don't know how to look out for threats we need to protect ourselves.

[murderingjustice]

that we can agree with.

[meanwhile he doesn't necessarily have anything against the idea of patrolling, it's the purpose of it. he'd rather not to have them turn against each other more than what they already have.]what is that you are suggesting in practice? that we start utilizing a defense team? train civilians and others that aren't suited for combat?

[solitarysoul]

i don't know.

[He doesn't make the plans, he just follows orders.]

training people in self defense is a good idea. even civilians should know a little.

but i don't know. i guess i'm pretty good with a gun if anyone wants to learn from me.

unless we know of a threat i guess patrols would only be good for making sure monsters don't come into town.

i just want to make sure people are safe in the future. i don't know how to plan for that sort of thing, though.
