        Among the guards, the word immediately had such special connotations that it was rarely used.  Ordinarily, Shining would have put on his armor, run a brush through his mane, and maybe tried to drink a cup of coffee as he went to his post.  Had the guard said ‘as soon as possible,’ he would have run a brush through his mane, thrown on his croupiere, and fitted his criniere as he went.  But the guard said ‘immediately.’  Shining exploded out of his bunk in a full gallop, clearing the door to his room before his blanket even hit the floor.
