Katsumi drove home with Raion in the seat next to her. The music played, but she was thinking more about the impending conversation.
After a short drive, they arrived at Katsumi's place and she let Raion in, following her and locking the door.
"Home sweet home, as it were." Katsumi said, smiling. The living area almost looked normal, wtih a couch and large television setup, with a coffee table that had some remotes and a few magazines tossed on it. The effect was shattered when on the opposite wall stood two towers of speakers, referred to as Stacks, with guitars hooked up to each one, a couple of extra guitars unhooked from everything, and wires. Lots of wires. A lone mic stand stood next to some of the guitars, and was also hooked up to a set of speakers, about half the size of the other stacks.
"Pardon the mess. Su-chan and I don't really invite many people over, so the music area gets a bit messy." Katsumi explained, offering a seat to the young girl.
"You want something to drink?" She asked, simultaniously picking up an X shaped guitar and hanging it over her neck while unplugging it from the amp. It was rare in the house for Katsumi to not be fiddling with her guitar even if it was not plugged in and turned on. Practice makes perfect and all that.

The drive to Katsumi's place was a little unnerving because there was no conversation between them at all. When they got tothe older girl's apartment Rai followed her towards her place. Once inside she looked arouind the surprisingly normal looking place. The tower of speakers were somewhat imposing; a true tower of sound if they had been on.
"Um it is very nice..." She said.
She sat down and she really just wanted to get down to the business at hand.
"No thanks...I am fine." She said.
She looked at Katsumi as she hung a guitar from her shoulders and unplugged it. Was she going to play it? What was going on...
"So um....about this senshi advancement of ours..." She said.

Katsumi nodded when Raion declined a drink and sat down in a chair across from the younger girl. Leaning back, she looked at the girl while simultaniously playing some riff from a song of hers.
"Yes. About all that. I know we need to be more aggressive, but without much knowledge of our allies and enemies, we can't really mount an attack." Katsumi offered, looking down for a complicated part then back to the girl.
"Of course, I would love to storm the castle, but that really wouldn't work too well. I'm sure Hestia and I could handle a squad or two of soldiers, but more than that guard the castle I would assume, and a direct attack will just pull the white ones together and quickly end our attack, and life."

Storming the castle would be a novel idea but without the entire team, if there was one, was fool-hardy at best.
"NOthing like that...well not now." She said. "Righjt now we are scattered and no doubt even though it has been weeks since the broadcast...no doubt the royals would be expecting such a move." Rai reasoned. "It also does not help that there has been other recent attacks and petty acts of thuggary on shrines and what not." She added. "The time is no longer ripe; any element of surprise had been soured." She concluded.
Raion pulled out her borrowed laptop and logged onto the internet she turned it for Katsumi to see. It was the threads she had posted in various sites there were some replys but nothing key or worth paying attention to.
"I sent this out after the broadcast were that senshi girl beat that person in the memorial. I've checked it and no responce from anyone except for the off key wing-nuts and self-rightous bible beaters." She said. "If we are to have any sucess with our movement we need to organize before the do-gooders in white." She theorized.
She showed Katsumi all the announcements she had posted; each time there was no responce to what she had said. When she was done she shut the terminal down and looked at the other girl.
"If this continues we'll get no place, and lose before we have a chance to begin." She stated.

Katsumi leaned back and looked up to the ceiling in thought as she idling played the guitar. The girl spoke the truth, as much as Katsumi would hate to admit it.
"Well, then we have to get a message out. But how?" She said, without looking to Raion.
"The white ones can just go on the news. It isn't like we can do that. Broadcasts have already been attempted. We could make a video and mail it to the news stations, but unless we can not only convince our allies to come to us, but turn some of the population in general as well, then we could end up really singling out our allies to some bad exposure."

She shook her head; not that those weren't good ideas, but security would be a major problem.
"I don't think that would work, we could try though and sweeten the deal so that the networks for the sake of ratings won't turn the footage in. . Though because the speech from the King, the TV stations would send any videos with senshi in black into the palace; even though the footage would mean ratings GOLD for them." She said. "Despite what little moves we have made; we are already being black labeled." She said.
Stereotypes seemed to still rule the world, and thanks to the idoit senshi that beat up that man nothing they could do publically would be viewed as unknown.
"If we could and knew how we could hack into or pirate the networks to circumvent the honest abe types." She said.

Katsumi thought for a moment about Raion's comment. Hacking into the network would be a quick and easy way, but she didn't know how to do anything like that.
"Why hack. Why not just frame some senshi in white. We get a setup to record the fight, get in a fight with the senshi, then make it look like WE are protecting people. If people see that, they will assume the white ones are imposing a will that is bad for them, and will not be as supportive, while also getting a message out to our allies."

She thought about the idea, and it was a really good one. There was only one problem with it; the human factor. More specifically her inability to well act, or interact enough to create a belivable facade.
"That is a really good idea, but I don't think I could pull off the whole goodie act." She said truthfully. "Could you?" She asked.
The thought about even trying to act like she was helping the sheeple made her feel well blah.
"HMmmmm how about along those lines but more like senshi or ratrher senshis in white bullying someone or a group." She offered. "Pull a whole absolute power corrupts absolutly." She said.
She then decided to offer up an explaination.
The new wearers' of the original senshi are different people; play on that whole uncertainty factor." She said.

Katsumi grinned as the girl asked if she could act.
"I go on stage every week or so and perform in front of tons of people. I can act out the whole protector role. If you can't act as a goodie, you could act as a senshi in white. The only risk is the actual senshi in white showing up." Katsumi offered up.
"I'm all for smearing the name of the senshi. They are already corrupted by their power, they just don't realize it."
