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~

[Oona puts her hands up in surprise, eyes a little wide. Oh no. Nanako does seem a little put out by this, though Oona isn't sure what she means here.]

Is not? [She looks from the girl to the training dummy and then around the area at others practicing and training. Oh.] Ah... Trying to... train? Need weapon, yes?

[ Nanako casts an uncertain look at the table of weapons, because they kind of scared her and she didn't know how to use any of them. ]

They're all too big. And I'm supposed to be a god. I'm supposed to be able to help without hurting anyone!

You? God? [Oona makes a conflicted face. Maybe.. .Maybe she's a god of youth.... that would make sense, right?]

Eh... Suppose there are no small weapons... But, how can fight aya-- Aya? Things, if you do not hurt them?

[ Aaaaand Oona has hit the nail on the head. Nanako's shoulders droop. ]

I don't know.
mermaiding: (that ploughs the raging sea)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2017-02-18 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[OOPS. SHIT. ABORT ABORT ABORT.

Except not really because despite being an Actual Baby, Oona isn't going to hedge on her self-imposed rule of not lying. Still, one doesn't have to be harsh to be truthful, right? She rests her hands on her hips a moment and looks a bit conflicted, before she sighs and crouches down to be more on Nanako's level.
]

Not easy thing, but, do not have to fight. Can help other ways. But fighting and hurting are, ehh.... together, yes? Can not have one without other. Must accept, or find something else to help or do.

If I fight the bad spirits, though... it would keep the people important to me safe, right?
mermaiding: (Many a pretty blooming girl)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2017-02-19 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Should, yes, when you can get strong. [Oona shrugs]

Do not lie, so will not lie. It is hard, to fight. You are young. People will worry. Likely, you will not--should not--enjoy it. Could help keep people safe other ways, but yes, fighting is option. Young, and small, but can use that too.

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-02-20 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Nanako frowns, looking serious and chewing on her lower lip in thought. ]

Is it better, to find another way, or to get stronger and fight to protect the people important to you?
mermaiding: (They're all so happy and smiling)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2017-02-20 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oona hums, then shakes her head]

Can not tell you that. Is your decision, will not make it for you. [Then again, maybe 6 is a little young to be making such important decisions already. Not that Oona knows her exact age, but she's always been terrible at gauging human ages. She still assumes it's "very young."]

Why not work on both? You are young-- very young. It is fact. Children do not have place in battle, unless very desperate. For now, maybe find other way, but do not give up on getting strong either. Can always change mind.

Of course, is up to you.

[Probably Oona should be treating her a little less like an actual adult but. Whatever.]

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-02-20 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That doesn't point her one way or another, but maybe this is another one of those things she has to figure out for herself. There seems to be a lot of that here.

But the reminder that she can always change her mind later has her expression brightening again as she smiles at Oona. ]


Yeah! That's true. I want to keep looking then. Maybe I can find another way to help. Thank you!

[Oona looks surprised, and then a touch embarrassed, scratching at her cheek]

Eh, yes... Are welcome. [She feels like there should be more to say here so she adds:] Confidence is good. The, ehh... drive, suppose it is called, is good. If you continue and do best, will do well. Am sure of it.

[And then, because she feels like it's something that should be done, she decides to introduce herself]

Name is Oona. You are?
welcome_home: (045)

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-02-23 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ The little girl holds her hand out with a bright smile, introducing herself. ]

I'm Nanako! Or Nanshe, that's the god I'm supposed to be here, but Nanako is fine too.
mermaiding: (And firmly pray arrive the day)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2017-02-24 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Oona stares at the hand for a few seconds, before she recognizes the gesture. Oh, right. Greeting rituals. She takes Nanako's hand and shakes it, albeit uncertainly.]

Ah. Will call you 'Nanako' then. Here, am told am 'Eris.' Do not mind that name either, so it does not matter. 'Oona' is not really real name either so it is fine.

[A pause and she glances around, fearing she knows the answer already but feeling compelled to ask anyhow:] Parents...?
welcome_home: (025)

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-02-24 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Oona?

[ She echoes this, then giggles in quiet delight. ] I like your name.

[ Her expression falls a little at that and she shakes her head. ] No, my dad isn't here. He's still back home somewhere. But my big brother is here, he's a god too.
mermaiding: (we happy did behold)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2017-02-25 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. [She looks pleased Real name is more, eh... Like sound? Music, suppose. But 'Oona' is part of sound so is close enough.

[Ah, as she expected, but knowing Nanako has some family here makes Oona feel better.] Am glad he is with you, then, and can remember. Family is most important thing; if you have someone, then you can get through anything.

Your name is music? [ Nanako thinks that sounds amazing. ] Can I hear it?

Yeah. [ She nods happily at the mention of her brother, agreeing. ] I'm glad he's here, too. he makes it less scary.
mermaiding: (Who love a jolly sailor bold)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2017-02-25 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh? Ah... [She looks embarrassed and a little unsure-- it's been a long time since she's actually done it, and not in her human form before. She sits back and looks thoughtful, giving a few test whistles to see if the subharmonics will still work, and after determining that it'll do, she nods.]

Suppose. Alright. [A deep breath and the 'note' starts on an exhale. It's like a whistle and a croon, looping over itself in a way that gives the impression of playful curiosity and ends with a 'na' noise that might indicate where part of her name comes from. Oona scratches at her cheek, a bit embarrassed again.]

Ah... It has been a while...
welcome_home: (007)

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-02-25 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Nanako's eyes are wide with fascinated amazement. ]

That's your name? It's so pretty!
mermaiding: (we happy did behold)

[personal profile] mermaiding 2017-02-27 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Oona can't help but grin, puffing up proudly]

Ah, yes? Think so? Thank you. Am fond of it too! Have not sang in long time, felt good.
welcome_home: (003)

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-03-01 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Does everyone get to sing their names, where you come from?

[ What a neat language! ]
