Care and Feeding of Hirelings, Period 2 [Session 3]
Today, the workshop met in the classroom again, as Hook was enjoying the learning process unaided by computer. After his cozily small class had gathered, he grinned and gestured with his hook.
"Today we talk about how to discipline those under you. It's important, one of my favorite subjects, in fact, because it's something one must use quite carefully. Too strong a punishment can irrevocably rattle the morale of those others in your employ. Too weak, and they will start to walk all over, all over, all over you. So the key is to make the punishment fit the infraction, of course. You are the law over your little helpers. Judge, jury, and executioner."
He laughed and pulled down a screen. He had an old-school overhead projector set-up, and he was going to be using it to project some information.
"My personal favorite method is not, as you'd think, walking the plank. No, I had the boo box." A smile spread across his face, way too happy about that fact. "A coffin like box with a little hatch to drop in scorpions, spiders, anything that might get a scare out of the offender. It really kept the rabble in line, I tell you." He drew a helpful illustration on the overhead as he spoke.
"Your fellow Fandom High students think forcing people to wear peg legs or leaving people stretched out under the hot sun without without are suitable punishments. Young Hank Venture believes himself a fan of keelhauling. Today we'll say you have two unruly helpers. One has done something wrong, but not on purpose. Let's say... he accidentally broke your favorite sculture. Then there's another helper, wh o was caught stealing money from your treasury or piggy bank or what have you."
"Both are deserving of punishment, and I need you to state how you'd punish them. I'm always a fan of creative and just punishments, so don't hesitate to apply a little imagination."

"As for the second case..." Karla paused for a moment and shook her head. "I have no time for traitors. He would die. And I would do it, because the offense is against me."

Hey, he'd jumped to some odd conclusions based on his radio stint and the first few classes.

"How kind," she drawled.
