Greetings, it's me. Richard Plantagenet, the duke of Gloucester.
It seems like the last the events of the last month truly shaken up our community in more ways than just one. And on top of that it appears that the council is back on the move once again, trying to subdue us 'the chosen' under their thumb. There might not be much that we can do in the face of such horrors but i do not believe we are entirely powerless either.
But first things first. If any of you find your housing situation compromised, please, come to the inn. We will allow anyone in need to stay free of charge. However, I must warn you that the standards aren't quite what they used to be with the resources running low, which leads me to my next point.
I call everyone who is willing and capable to gather and join me in the cleaning up and rebuilding our city. The roads are still filled with rubble and debris from the fight and some areas seems to be completely blocked off. Similarly, I will call everyone who is interested in defending our city to join me and the defense squad with patrolling around the borders and woods nearby in case of the monsters still lingering around. The game and other wildlife seems to have left the their usual area, so we need to make sure that it is safe for them to return here if we want to thrive as a community.
As for my last point.
I am aware that not all of you might trust me or have the most positive views on my actions here. Still, I wish you to listen to what I have to propose to you and take it in your heart without being clouded by prejudice and hear me out.
When my homeland was met with great injustice my noble father, the duke of York, took upon his shoulders to set things right. He rallied the people, raised the banners and brought upon a storm like no other to sweep across our country. All just to remove the tyrant, the false king from his pedestal. When I look at the way our state in this city I must admit that I feel compelled to do the same and urge us to take our fates to our own hands. The Council and this AI-entity might loom above us like Gods, but that does not mean we ought to outright submit to them. I am aware that we have already into our own groups and formed affiliations. But I truly do believe we are strongest when we are together and united.
Which is why I propose the following: that we, the Chosen, would form our own governing body. A council of our own, if you will. I do not suggest that we follow one true leader, as I believe that to be fruitless in our situation. However, we would greatly benefit from having chosen representatives to gather and bring out the issues that we might be facing as a community, so that we could coordinate our efforts to match our best interests and needs.
This is, of course, just a suggestion. I would love to hear what all of you think of this.

I didn't see the council when Jerry took me to the courthouse. Just figured to let you know. [Not that it means the council doesn't exist at all, but...]
But I've been helping with the cleanup of Aldrip. And I'll help defend when things start going bad. [...] I can probably do a patrol or two around the woods too if needed. Make sure everything is clear.
[He doesn't know what to say about the whole council of Chosen though. Guess that's fine?? He's not really into the whole government stuff. Long as they put people on the council that don't entirely suck.]
no subject
Do you know how to hunt?
no subject
But... not entirely. I can use my optic blasts to shoot at anything from afar though and you don't have to worry about guns or arrows or anything like that. I just haven't seen many animals around since the Black Beast, as you've mentioned.
no subject
I see. In that case I think you would be the most suited for patrols and clearing out the area. Inexperienced hunter will only scare away the prey.
no subject
And he can't help but rise up a little to Richard's words, not quite defensive, but the mutant wanting to follow through.]
I'm willing to learn if we need more people hunting out there. I mean it's probably important I learn anyway, in case more of us start to disappear or something else happens. [Bad things, but Scott figures that he doesn't have to say that.]
no subject
Well, in that case I am expecting to se you at the training grounds next time.
no subject
Yeah I'll be there. I'll even bring my uniform.
no subject
For what?
no subject
Well, if we're officially training, then I wear my uniform. That's just how it goes. [...] I probably won't only be there just to learn how to hunt.
no subject
[Which is why they all should unite under one leader---,]
I will be teaching you how to track and set up basic traps. But if it is in your interest I can teach you how to use bow and knife as well. If we actually manage to catch something I will also show you how to pluck or skin our prey.
no subject
[So, hard pass from him.]
Do I really need to use a bow when I have my powers?? [There's a small sigh from Scott, some minor grumbling rising up.] But I guess skinning and plucking our catch would be important. I do want to learn that.
