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

Again, the class met in a normal classroom. There were sketchpads and colored pencils at each desk, as they'd be necessary for the day's activity.

"Right, right," he said, very excited for the day, it seemed. "Now that we've established that you all need little people to do your bidding, now it's time to come up with their uniform. Helmets that obscure their ugly faces? Hats with gigantic plumes? Spandex and domino masks? It's all really down to making sure that no matter what, they never are quite as fashionable as you. After all, you are the main event, they are the ones who, at any time, could be filling a coffin a they've thwarted an assassination attempt by valiantly taking the bullet. Possibly forcibly. But I digress."

"As a pirate captain, I did not dictate a uniform so much as the profession had its own very particular motif. I, of course, was the grandest of all, with the brightest coat and the largest hat. None had as fine of clothes as I, and if they dared to try, I'd gut them for their cheek."

There was a brief break as he chuckled.

"But now, I want to see what you all think is the best idea for your future underlings. So, chop chop, get to drawing, I'll come around and critique you all individually. And do feel free to talk it over with your neighbors. Don't want to have henchmen that might accidentally look just like your neighboring megalomaniac's, do you!"

Another laugh.

"Well now, get to it!"
