Who: Everyone!
What: Training
When: Morning June 16
Where: Bishamon's temple
Summary: Training sessions for everyone to learn more about their abilities and jobs!



Many people have been wanting to know more about their abilities and what they are required to do here in the Far Shore. So, in conjunction with Bishamonten, the Heavens have seen fit to offer an open training session for everyone to participate in. Here you will be able to learn anything and everything about what you should be able to do and what is expected of you in your new positions.

Bishamon's temple is sweeping and gorgeous, having previously been home to hundreds of shinki. She has graciously offered to hold this training session and will be available to help anyone who needs it.



Equipment

    Various kinds of mannequins and dummies have been provided for practice, as well as targets that are either stationary or move, depending on your will. Punching bags, jumping blocks, and a large pool area have also been provided for your use, so that you can find a tool for pretty much anything that you might need to practice. Plenty of practice weapons of various weights, sizes, and shapes are also available upon request from any of the many white-clad shinki that are also attending today.


God Training

    Bishamon herself will be the foremost source of information regarding being a god and what is expected of you. It is also encouraged that gods group up together to practice what they've learned and discuss their ideologies. Random groupings can be provided by the mods or you may come up with your own groupings together.


Shinki Training

    Various shinki are available to help with shinki training, including Kazuma and all of Bishamon's shinki. Additionally, the white-clad shinki will be more than happy to train you on using the borderline and some of the basics of what is expected of a shinki. It is also encouraged that shinki group up together to practice what they've learned and discuss their ideologies. Random groupings can be provided by the mods or you may come up with your own groupings together.


Refreshments

    There is a refreshments table provided. It is covered with light snacks and various kinds of hydrating drinks. There is a little sitting area set up for people to relax in after they have finished their training or if they're even just taking a quick break to cool down. The Heavens want you to stay in good condition!




In Summary:
  • Use the state of the art equipment
  • Learn about your job
  • Form groups to practice
  • Don't get dehydrated
  • Spectate if you want
  • Have fun~

It'd just be annoying if you didn't know what you were doing.

[Chikusa doesn't want to play teacher today. Or any other day. Why did he come here again...? Oh, right.]

How strong are yours, then...?
moonfang: (you spin me right round)

[personal profile] moonfang 2017-02-17 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zangetsu grins] You wanna find out?

[he doesn't even wait for an answer. He just draws a line in front of him. Instead of glowing brightly, the light emitted by the line is... almost negative. Black. Creepy! Just like the shinki]
kokuyoyo: (At which point did I decide that it)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-17 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Well. I mean. There's always that one weirdo in class, right? Chikusa takes a step back and eyes the line suspiciously.]

Is that actually a real borderline...?

[Considering the various strange abilities both gods and shinki can have, it seems like a good question to ask, honestly.]
moonfang: (so sick of your shit)

[personal profile] moonfang 2017-02-17 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Man, what a drag this guy was. Zangetsu rolls his eyes and summons his sword from the same sort of dark energy. He then taps it against the borderline wall to prove it is, in fact, a borderline]

Satisfied? The color is just... the color of everything I do.

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-17 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[That should probably be worrying to hear, but after a second Chikusa just shrugs and starts to take a few steps back. So long as it's a borderline, even a strangely colored one, that's all he needs to know.]

[Wordlessly, he forms his fingers as they're supposed to be and directs a line of his own straight towards the barrier in hopes that he can break it. He's only known about it for a little less than a month, but he's been practicing ever since he got a crash course during the zombie incident. Hopefully that counts for something.]
moonfang: (smug smile!)

[personal profile] moonfang 2017-02-17 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zangetsu watches, leaning on his giant sword with a mild grin on his face. His borderline does a good job of holding up, for a few seconds. Then it begins to vibrate. Then, instead of simply dissipating, it... well, it more or less explodes with concussive force.

Because even defensive barriers are offensive when it comes to this smug bastard
]

Hehehe! Y'like that? They're not the strongest in the world, but if they blow up when they break, then who cares?
kokuyoyo: (And the cops are back.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-17 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[WELL THAT]

[THAT FUCKING HAPPENED]

[Congrats, Zangetsu, you've actually gotten Chikusa to emote, his eyes wide in surprise. That. Was not what he was expecting.]


How did you get it to do that...?
moonfang: (smug smile!)

[personal profile] moonfang 2017-02-17 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Now, now. [a dark chuckle and a little finger wag] A magician never reveals his secrets. ... Plus, I ain't sure if I could explain it to you in a way you'd understand. It'd be like explaining "blue" to a blind person.
kokuyoyo: (Woke up with a squirrel in my bed.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-18 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[A slight frown, although he has to admit... if it's something he can just do, much like some other abilities he's seen around, he might have a point.]

Does that mean you've tried before, then?
moonfang: (shark mouth)

[personal profile] moonfang 2017-02-19 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Zangetsu leans on his sword] I have. It's... [he frowns, trying to think about how he's tried to phrase it before] Like your soul, right? It has it's own... it's own energy. Like everything has it's own smell. Souls have power. I put that soul power into my barrier and changed its characteristics a little. My teacher called it "Reiatsu".
kokuyoyo: (And the cops are back.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-19 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[It's own energy.... This is starting to sound familiar, and Chikusa quickly realizes why. Raising up his hand, he blinks down on the ring with its bright blue jewel he's kept on since when he first woke up.]

....Can they come in different colors then...?
moonfang: (let's have some real fun!)

[personal profile] moonfang 2017-02-20 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah! [Zangetsu grins] S'far as I can tell, the color is unique to each person. Yoruichi-san's was a kind of... bright, lightning blue, almost white. Urahara's was more just red. And mine is like this. [he pulses his sword with energy, and it seems ablaze with black and red flame]
kokuyoyo: <user name="tigerparty"> (I woke up with a yoyo in my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-20 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Well. He thinks he has an idea, now. Wordlessly, Chikusa raises up his right hand, revealing a ring on his finger with a light blue gem in the middle. All it takes is a little bit of willpower before a flame erupts from it.]

[...Well. Kind of a flame. There's the flickering shape of it, but something about it is reminiscent of the way light refracts off of water. The fact that the flame is a brilliant blue only drives that comparison further home.]
moonfang: (ufufu)

lmk if this description is off -- it's what I gleaned from the wiki!

[personal profile] moonfang 2017-02-20 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zangetsu leans forward, pupils dilating and shrinking as he focuses on the blue energy. It was quite pretty. He wonders....]

Hold that thought.

[he extends a talon and carefully teases away a "piece" of the energy; an individual swirl of the strange, water-like flame. He then carefully places it on his tongue, eyes closed. He looks like someone savoring a fine wine...

It's... wet-feeling. Heavy. A sensation like slogging through mud, or walking in waist-high water. But peaceful, too. Like spending a rainy day indoors. And the flavor... like the smell of earth after a hard rain
]

... Mmmhmm. That's it. That's "reiatsu"! Or, I guess.... reishi. The actual energy, not the force.

kokuyoyo: (Apparently I kept telling people I was)

No, it's spot on!

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-20 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's fascinating, to watch that energy just get plucked away from the source, although maybe just a little gross when he sees where it goes. Still, it doesn't show on his face, and he just waits patiently until an answer comes.]

So.... Something that could become the force, but isn't there yet.
moonfang: (reflected)

[personal profile] moonfang 2017-02-21 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Like the beam of light, and not the heat it produces. [he grins a bit] Hehehe... it's kind of the opposite of mine, actually. That's funny.
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-22 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Opposite how…? Because it’s reishi?

[Or is it something else that apparently has to do with literally sticking weird energy in your mouth?]
moonfang: (I hate keywording)

[personal profile] moonfang 2017-02-22 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no... like... [he frowns] Yours is like... water. Rain. A stormy day. Mine is more like fire, heat. You know?
kokuyoyo: (I don't do stupid things anymore.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-23 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah. A slight nod.]

I guess they're called Rain Flames for a reason, then... I think, anyway.

[No memories are such a nuisance- a thought he's had more than once.]

Anyway.... do you think I could do what you did with your barrier, then...?
moonfang: (casual I guess?)

[personal profile] moonfang 2017-02-23 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Makes sense then!

[spotty memories -- what your "friends" from before are allowed to tell you. It sucks. ]

Mm. I'd guess so anyway. It'll probably have a different effect, though. Mine blows up 'cause... well, all the attacks I use using my reiatsu are explosive and cutting.
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-24 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
That’s fine. And honestly…. I think you just exploding things is enough.

[There do not need to be two people with explosives on hand here.]
moonfang: (you spin me right round)

[personal profile] moonfang 2017-03-05 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Hehehe! At least I'm fun at parties. Why don't you give it a whirl?
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-03-05 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Ignoring the mild concern about what kind of parties he goes to…]

How?
