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~

[ And at that, a strange smile paints her lips. Not quite rehearsed but... practiced maybe? Like without realizing she's found herself reciting some long forgotten poem or charm of some kind. ]

Sometimes people need to believe in something in order to be strong, and to keep moving forward. A light in the darkness.

[ Her smile quickly brightening again, the shinki shrugged gently in a simple, conversationally carefree manner. ]

And that is what we're here for, and why things like this are important.

[There's something familiar in that, but he doesn't quite know what.]

Better to believe in yourself than something that might exist.

[But he'll shrug it off, that's his philosophy, not hers.]

We're here to learn our jobs, is more like it.

[personal profile] rememberher 2017-02-17 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true, but sometimes people need a little help. Something to give them faith that things will be all right.

[ Okay so why was he being such a Downer Debbie right now? He was one of those glass-is-half-empty kind of guys, wasn't he? ]

If you want to look at it that way, sure. But I would rather think of it as becoming better equipped to help others. It feels a lot less self-serving, like we have a purpose other than simply existing.
chronobreak: (Think)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2017-02-17 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah but... why would you pay them?

[Weird, honestly.]

I didn't ask to be a god. Besides, there were people at home that I was helping. Can't do much about that if I'm here.

[personal profile] rememberher 2017-02-17 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah okay he did have a point. She curled a fist at her lips. ]

I think that might be just the way of things. I'm new here myself, so I admit that I don't know the answer to everything.

[ Yet. Give her like a week and some poking around.

(At home..?) ]


I'm sure they'll be all right. You're here now, and even if you might not have anticipated it, I'm sure there's a good reason for that.

Fellow newbie, huh?

[He thinks about Zaun for a moment. How dangerous just being in the streets can be, and Dr. Mundo trying to murder him for god knows how long.]

... It's not that safe where I'm from. [He loves his home, thinks it's far better than any uppercrust Piltover neighborhood, but it's also sketchy as hell.]

[personal profile] rememberher 2017-02-20 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose so.

[ Pausing, her brows furrow gently in concern. ]

Not safe? What do you mean?
chronobreak: (Think)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2017-02-20 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm from the slums. And there's a bunch of experiments running around the streets. Not to mention the scientists that made 'em.

[He'll acknowledge Zuan is a sketchy as hell place to live, but he'll still say it's better than Piltover.]

[personal profile] rememberher 2017-02-20 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The slums...

Concern very clearly catching in her features, she doesn't so much take a step forward as she... very clearly keeps herself from doing so. Compelled almost to do something but knowing that it was useless at this point. This is a Problem, but not one that she could provide a solution to. And it bothered her. ]


I see. No wonder you feel uncomfortable being here...

[ It wasn't quite pity, not quite understanding, but the uncomfortable heaviness that came from wanting to do something, wanting to know more, but knowing that it was both not her place nor her business, as well as quite impossible. ]

[personal profile] chronobreak 2017-02-20 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[His perception is at least good enough notes the stutter in her step.]

Don't go feeling sorry for me or whatever. It's my home. I love it, I'll take the good with the bad.

Hah. Or I do when I'm home.

[personal profile] rememberher 2017-02-23 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ahaha, was she really that obvious? With a bit of a winced smile, she backed off slightly. But don't think that she'll forget!

Still, her smile softens, becoming a little more natural. ]


Having pride for one's home seems like an important thing to have. I can tell that you love it.
chronobreak: (Cocky)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2017-02-23 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maybe not to somebody who doesn't rely on reading their enemies to fight. But that's Ekko's style in a nut shell.]

It's a good place, full of real builders. We make the most out of what we get.

[personal profile] rememberher 2017-02-24 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Don't ever let her know that you aren't at least three steps ahead of your opponent, Ekko. She would be disappointed.

Ah, that... She smiles a bit at that, somewhat inwardly. ]


I think many of us could take words like that to heart. Making the most out of what we have immediately in front of us. I like that.

My name is Lux. And yours is?

[That just depends on how long he's studied them.]

It's a good life philosophy.

I'm Ekko.

[personal profile] rememberher 2017-02-25 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a pleasure.

Have you met your shinki then? Are they here now?
chronobreak: (Think)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2017-02-25 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

I've met him. He's pretty quiet but we'll be fine.

[personal profile] rememberher 2017-02-27 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
That's good at least. I've heard about cases where gods and shinki don't get along, I could only imagine how badly that might go.
chronobreak: (Think)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2017-02-27 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously? If it's that bad can't they break up?

[personal profile] rememberher 2017-02-27 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ She curled a hand at her chin. ]

I'm not sure, I didn't think to ask. But considering the way that a god and a shinki are bound to each other, I imagine that would be difficult.
chronobreak: (Think)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2017-02-27 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but if it's not working out for anybody, better to break it off.

It's like working for somebody you hate. Better to quit.

[personal profile] rememberher 2017-03-01 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe, but if we're all working toward the same goal, hopefully they can work things out. Something like a difference in opinion or mismatches personalities shouldn't stand in the way.
chronobreak: (Think)

[personal profile] chronobreak 2017-03-01 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Depends on how bad the break is. If you can't stand anything the other person does, better to go your different directions.
