Care and Feeding of Hirelings, 2nd Period [Session 1]

Hook was teaching this class in a normal classroom. He'd save fancy computer/danger shop tricks for later.

When the class had filed in, he twirled the end of his mustache with his hand and grinned.

"Welcome, welcome, one and all, to the amazing class where you learn how to make sure others do your work for you, and how to keep them happy in their sad, little lots in life."

He laughed a bit.

"So, when do you know you need a henchman, sidekick, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera?" He gestured at one of the students with his hook. "When you know you're better than other people. Whether you're a mighty pirate, a caped crusader, or even mister C.E.O."

He chuckled again. "So that's simply it. When you know you're better, you might as well have some people around to keep under your boots. So now I want introduction! You will give me your name, your reasons for taking this class, and one reason you think you're better than other people. I'll even start."

He cleared his throat.

"I'm Captain James Hook, dreaded pirate of Neverland. The cunning kingfish, the worst of all little lost boys' nightmares. I'm here because I'm ready to spread my knowledge and expertise amongst all your little impressionable minds. And I'm better than others because I've cut, stabbed, strangled, and crushed my way to the top of the pirating world, and from atop my little mountain, I know that I am better."

Yes, just a little creepy.

"Now, someone else, snap to it, snap to it."

This was your teacher, kids. Have fun with that.

This? Was Peter, stealing a look at That Loud Obnoxious Hag and wondering vaguely why crowned royalty would be at camp.

Not that royalty amounted for much these days. Maybe her country had turned the aristocracy so symbolic, they didn't even need to be around. Hm. There was a lesson in there somewhere.

"Whatever you're thinking, you're wrong," Karla said idly, not even bothering to look back at him. "I promise you, you have no idea how my world works."
