I didn’t like Coil, pretty much despised his methods, but I did agree with his sensibilities on some things, like personnel and making sure people wanted to work for you.
Yeah, though in Coil’s case it seems to be in a more manipulative sense.
But yes, this is important. It’s why Hookwolf might become a bad recruitment to the Slaughterhouse Nine, it’s why Burnscar already is a bad recruitment, and it’s why Shatterbird should probably just stop recruiting people in general.
It wasn’t like I couldn’t afford it. I had yet to spend the earnings from any of my earlier villainous stints, since Coil was providing everything major I needed.
Oh yeah, and because you previously felt it wasn’t your money to spend, intending to turn it in alongside the Undersiders.
“There’s another reason I’m putting you guys out there. Two people aren’t going to be enough for what I’m planning long-term.
Recruitment!
“Have you heard the good buzz about our Lady and Savior Skitter?”
I want you two to trust your guts on this, but you’re also going to be keeping an eye out for possible recruits.”
So do they just report about the recruits to Taylor afterwards, or do they try to actually recruit on the spot?
The former seems more like Taylor’s style.
“You’re hiring others?” Charlotte asked.
Does that surprise you?
Or maybe you’ve got someone in mind?
I nodded. “I’m looking for people who are young, reasonably fit, and able to follow orders. With you two out there, I’m hoping others see a pair of girls who are secure, happy and healthy in my employ. You recruit someone I decide is worth keeping? I’ll reward you. But this isn’t a competition, got it?”
Sounds good to me!
