singindemonhqAre you well organised?
Oh, well enough. I have to think on my feet, any operative who lets the plans for his Gigs get set in stone could be under a rock himself before he knows it. I can’t waste time fussing over details once the show’s started, I’ve got to be flexible enough to bring us all through and out safely.
The real trick is to find the right Minions and let them do the organising while I just give the orders. That’s not as easy as you might think. They need to have initiative, and they need to have brains and sense enough to use it right.
I hate it when I get called to a Gig during a war, but it’s happened more times than I care to count. Right through history there were armies where the officers bought their commissions and most of the brass weren’t promoted on merit. The ones who made it through were usually bright enough to realise that it was different in the lower ranks and get themselves a really good sergeant. Then the Duke would say,
“Take that hill!” and the captain would turn around and say,
“Take a squad and do it! Carry on, Sergeant.” And, with luck, an experienced old soldier would get the job done.
It’s like that with the Minions. You can tell a really good Lead Minion to collect your queen or deliver a Slayer ready for the last act and they just do it. Give the order and it’s done, count on it.
So yeah, I’m well organised. It’s in their job description.
