A Guarded Surprise
Who: King Richard (tummyflowers) & Magnus Burnsides (ruffboi) & The Royal Guard!
What: Magnus and Richard have concocted a plan to train the new trainees. It's worked so well, why not try it on the other newbies?
When: This week
Where: Throughout Olympia, along several patrol routes
Warning(s): idk, maybe language and blood?
[It starts with an idea. Every great moment does, when two minds come together and realize that they can accomplish great deeds together. This is what had happened to Richard and Magnus some days ago. Now it was time for them to put that brainstorming effort to work. Since being assigned responsibility of the armory, Richard had been lending a hand in helping outfit and train some of the new recruits drawn in from the Olympian natives. They'd been young and keen lads who didn't entirely seem to grasp Richard's lessons, but they were still trying their hardest. And finally, after all the drills and strange parables of heroic valor, they were off on their first real patrols throughout the city. Richard had kindly volunteered to accompany them, even though he was very likely less equipped to do the job than they were.
Only once they were in the heart of the city did their real training begin, because Richard had enlisted the help of the swolest man he knew, a musclebound ginger with a brawny, hairy chest and an axe to match. He'd play the part of the violent criminal and give a chance to give the recruits some real hands on experience. Richard couldn't be more proud!]
OPEN PROMPT
[After some success(??) with the recruits, the two decide that it wouldn't be such a bad idea to help their fellow refugees who are equally new to the guards. It's a bit of a boring job, so something like this would surely spice things up and provide some motivation. So using his access to the patrol schedule, Richard has gone out to the city to join some of his fellow guards on their patrols all while a silent, lurking figure waits in the shadows... ready to strike.]
(tl;dr: fellow guards can have Richard show up on their normal patrols, only for Magnus to jump out and attack them! They're more than welcome to fight back and even beat up the poor guy! And yell at Richard too! It's for morale, right?)

Quite the relief, asshole! They just don't get fresh air like you do out here in the city. [Which is... well, if not fresh, at least air. And Richard is still working hard on that ironic Kind Richard moniker. Even if it seems only to be directed at Prompto.] You seem to be taking to this patrol thing, though. Not a single complaint about your feet, I noticed. Well done.
no subject
Now, Magnus remembers from his last conversation with Prompto that his strategy is to look unassuming and then shoot things with guns, so he knows enough to know he should be a little careful, and also to decide to throw caution to the wind. How much could getting shot hurt, anyway?
Once the conversation seems to have moved on from the steering wheel joke, a joke Magnus has heard five hundred times, so he's not impressed, the time to strike arrives. So, he leaps down from a balcony in front of them, brandishing his axe.]
Sneak attack!
no subject
[ However, any explanation about these cushy new boots he got is gonna have to wait, as are any other GREAT JOKES OR STORIES he had to tell. It's probably for the best, because Ironic Kind Richard can be a little wearying to be around, even if he doesn't show it. However, having an armed, hulking figure suddenly descend from a balcony in front of him isn't really any better of a situation to find himself in. ]
Oh, sh -
[ Even if his heart has shot straight into his his throat, his reflexes are quick, relying on instinct to whip out his handgun and position himself bodily between Richard and their attacker -
And it's only then that Prompto recognizes who's dropped so delicately in front of them. Straightening, but only lowering his weapon a fraction: ]
Hey, I know you! Fake Scar Guy!
[ He's not sure if that's gonna be reassuring or...not... ]
no subject
But wow, he's pretty impressed at Prompto putting himself between him and Magnus. It was pretty impressive for such a small guy, even though Richard could still very clearly see Magnus over the top of Prompto's head. And... wait... fake!?]
His scar is fake!?
no subject
[Stopping in the middle of his attack to touch his face. The scar, by the way, is still clearly in the process of healing up; it has stitches in it and looks kind of nasty.]
It's not fake, you liar! You saw Taako slice me open with your own eyes! [And here he was, impressed with Prompto for his quick reflexes, only for him to come at him with a low blow like this!]
no subject
Okay, maybe not-genuine is a better way to put it. Anyway - that's not the point! I'm gonna have to - [ wait for it ] axe you to put that down right now, dude.
[ He's a really good cop. ]
no subject
Careful, Prompto! This ruffian is a cut above the rest!
no subject
If you're really gunning for me, then I guess I'll have to give you a chopping to.
no subject
You think that's really a sharp idea, man? I wooden want you to miss and get hit instead!
[ He's not sounding all that cautionary, though. Obviously, they should try it. ]
no subject
Oh trust me, my friend, he can handle himself. So better take action before he decides to split.
no subject
[Okay, that wasn't really a pun, but to be fair, he's not really threatening to split, either. Anyway. Running...at...him?]
Heads up! [That also isn't really a pun.]
no subject
[ It's not a pun in you're going to literally do it! But Prompto doesn't exactly have time to explain this, with Magnus, you know, rushing him.
He takes a step back towards Richard, takes aim at the handle of the axe - ]
A swing and a miss! [ - and fires his weapon. Rebellion is powerful enough that there's some serious oomph behind the flying bullet. The puns must've warmed him up, because it's a good, level shot, and if it lands, it should splinter the handle.
That's his intention, anyway. ]
