A Guarded Surprise

Who: King Richard ([personal profile] tummyflowers) & Magnus Burnsides ([personal profile] 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?)

[Now this is what he's talking about. Gripping the axe, excited to see whether he's able to deflect bullets in midair with it. That would probably work.]

If you're really gunning for me, then I guess I'll have to give you a chopping to.

[ This is the true test of his mettle. Fortunately, Prompto is much better at jokes of this caliber than he is at telling stories. ]

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. ]

Yeah! Watch out, or I'm gonna cut your head off.

[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.]
punshots: (✘ matte.)

Hey, wait a sec, that's not really -

[ 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. ]
