"Have you considered if their vitriol is, as is oft the case, projection?"

"It IS entirely possible some are scared of finding a reflection in the lifestyle so alien to them" CC agrees

"I find that a certain... symmetry.. tends to be the best path for education."

"Perhaps one may reveal that which is unsavory and hidden about them. But perhaps a rather.. ah.. radical course in empathy may also suffice. Make them appear to their comrades as that which they despice - the Twilight Zone effect, so to speak."

"My chicnaery might be up to that" She admits

"Chicanery could be very useful, aye."

"Tis not an art I have mastered, at least not, I think, to your extent." A respectful nod at the satyress.

"What of the larger group? Lure them out and... treat them? I have to assume not all of them are local to this area."

"Oh, let's just keep that knack under our hats, " A wink

"Hm. Scandal and humiliation oft work, though that does presuppose shame."

"If they turn upon each other, and shatter from within?"

William puts two cell phones on the table top. "I hope you'll forgive these manners; it's wrong to be on a phone at table but...." he smirks.

"Ah yes. "

Eyebrow quirk.

He opens them up to the text messages "Call logs too, of course. Family members would also be mentioned." he slides them over to Zara to peruse.

She leans over to peruse.

It looks like a nasty little group of self proclaimed 'real Americans'

OOC About how many, total?

About three dozen involved if you count their wives or friends who 'cheer them on' only a dozen core members

"Mmm... A dozen or so. Three times that if you count outer circles."

"And you wish to strike them all?"

"I do feel very surly about this, pray forgive. I am rather territorial about our club"

"But I suppose I'd settle for breaking them appart and taking out the worst of them?"

"Oh, I do not object to your goals. They dearly need educated. But the breadth does mean a difference in approach."

"The two perpetrators, certainly." he nods "I'm afraid the numbers do dictate that, yes."

"Driving one man mad is different than educating a whole delinquent class."

"Mmm," She ponders

"I wonder about using the two we have in custody to reach the others. A Trojan horse of sorts."

"You have them?"

"And you have Chicanery?" A look between William and Callidora.

"Oh yes" A smile to both questions

"Why then, there seems to me no reason you cannot wreak destruction across them all. And let the acrimony and blame fall on the two you hold."

"mmm " A sip "But what form of poisoned pill should they carry? Metaphorically speaking?"

He smirks as well.

"They took an impromptu nap in an alley. They're at my local peid a terre."

"Now that, aye..."

"Perhaps let their creativity and spite be put to use? They are vile, hateful, petty things."

"If you make them feel aggrieved, and direct that emotion towards their comrades... why, they might become industrious indeed."

"After all, they are full up their gullet with hatred, it's merely a question of shifting the target a bit to the right..."

"mmm a simple redirection of passions. Like Judo for feelings"

"Do you think you could do it, Dearest?"

"Exactly. Let them reap what they sow, and live with it."

"Oh I think so, yes," She nods "Very sure I could embed it in one form or the other"

"And -what- will we visit on them, and send them forth to visit on others?"

"Now that's a good question. Should we have them assume their fellows are ALL Secretly drag queens?"

"That.... could stretch credulity."

"Though the two we have could... mm.."

"If we give them such a great desire to dress in a manner currently objectionable to them..."

"And, in thus a mode, perceive their 'friends' now as enemies.... what, then, when the scales fall and they return unto themselves?"
