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?)

no subject
[He doesn't know Magnus enough to lecture him, but the man seemed to have sense enough to recognize the time to fight and the time not to.]
How many have attacked you since you started doing this?
no subject
[He leans in close to Magnus to whisper whisper:] Don't mind him, he's just sore after I upstaged him when my sword was stuck in a tree. Poor lad.
[He stands upright again and claps his hands merrily.] So would you say three or four? Not including the ones we started with.
no subject
Yeah, gotcha. Kid's got a good head on his shoulders, but he's got a long way to go.
Yeah, four or five, plus Richard's recruits. Lot more to go!
no subject
Either you heal quickly or they haven't managed to hit you.
[They were lucky, but that could only last so long.]
What will happen if one manages to injure you badly?
[Or worse?]
This isn't a game.
no subject
[Maybe if Jon tried to be a little more like Magnus, they wouldn't have even needed to do this in the first place!]
