Scenario 1:

You are a citizen in a kingdom with a very greedy king. Poverty is a huge issue right now, and unfortunately you have not escaped it. You have been push so far as to resort to thievery, it's just the only way to feed yourself (and any family you wish for your char to have, adopted or otherwise.) You try not to take too much, and for the most part have been able to get out of any scrape unscathed. That is, until now. You got caught as you were stealing from a stall selling food in the market, and were chased by guards. You slipped into the back streets in an attempt to lose them, but they kept on your tail. You see a person in a cloak ahead of you, and you decide to take a chance.

Before the stranger can react, you grab them and put the small knife you keep for defense to their neck, their hood falling back in the process. The guards stop in their tracks, their eyes filled with horror. You are about to start your escape, when you hear one of the guards say, "Your highness..." Your eyes widen when they realize they're talking about your hostage. Well, this is just great. Now if you don't get out of this, you're as good as dead.

You:

A. Negotiate with the guards.

B. Attempt to get away with your hostage.

C. Stand silently, at a loss for what to do.

D. Other

Scenario 2:

You are the prince/princess of your kingdom, and are currently outside the palace, disguised by a cloak. You've never done this before, but you decided that if you are going to rule this kingdom one day, you should see what it's like. You just have to be careful not to let anyone who would recognize you see your face. It's for this purpose that you ducked into a back alley, seeing a noble you are familiar with walking down the road towards you. Once the coast is clear, you begin walking back to the main road, when you see a group of guards chasing someone towards you.

Before you know it, the fugitive is behind you, holding a knife to your throat. Your hood falls back in the commotion, and the guards recognize you immediately, one of them making your status clear. You can feel the hand on your arm tense up, and you curse the guard, knowing they just gave the criminal all the more reason to keep you. However, the next thing you notice surprises you: the hand that's holding the knife to your throat has started shaking terribly, as though in fear.

You

A. Try to negotiate your own release

B. Attempt to catch them off guard and disarm them

C. Stand silent and let the guards handle it

D. Other

Da Rules:

1. PG13, like always. Read my rp rules for specifics.

2. The prince/princess will only have a cursory knowledge of the economic crises their kingdom is in, at first at least.

3. In scenario A, if you want to have them, I can play one or more of your char's family member(s) for you.
I know, I know, it's way too early for a new prompt, but I really liked this idea, and I'm weak willed. This is probably the only time I'll ever do this, so don't expect it often.

My Chars:

Scenario 1: Michael

Scenario 2: Aaron

I would actually like to give this one a shot, me being the theif, but is it ok if I do it where I push him to the guards and run off, I never truly could hurt anyone and that was always eveudent when I steal, I also never took more then I needed.
