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?)

Do you mean all along I just had to win it?
This is nuts! You should've just said so
All long, I could've stopped this from the get-go ♫
[ and he cuts off, sparing just a glance to look around. then he's reaching for the rifle strapped to his back, pulling it over to aim right at magnus...
then he moves straight up, aiming instead for the banner advertising free samples. one shot, and two, and the banner it release from the strings holding it up, flapping down down down till it falls right over magnus.
not... quite the flashiest display as far as spars go. but lance knows what he's doing! ]
♫ If you wanna train me just take me under your wing
Though dude, what the heck, how're you making me sing? ♫

Oh, well, it was a little reward for good service. Though I do think we may have cheated a little, because they were a bit more stringent on the limitations than how things just went. But ah, I won't tell if you guys don't.
[Like, one of these two wasn't supposed to be singing along! But is Richard gonna call that out? Hell no. This is what normal living looks like for Richard.]
But well done with the banner. You okay over there, Magnus?
no subject
Hey! Not bad! You're a real good shot!

[ lance's sour mood is... mollified pretty considerably under the men's combined praises, as flattery will get you everywhere when it comes to lancey lance, but he still musters enough to give magnus a dry look. ]
What's the big deal, anyway? Were you testing me or something?
no subject
[And so did Richard! And Magnus was there too.]
