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~

"Yeah, guess that's true enough. If you're still getting to know that thing, I can show you the ropes before we go full mano a mano, or if you want to just jump straight in I can do that too. Just don't want to go full bore on a newbie, I'm not your standard sword partner for more than the obvious reasons."
He's just going to roll with sword partner now, because on closer inspection, Davesprite is very sure he and this guy aren't remotely in the same age group and it kind of messes with the joke on his end. Not that the guy looks bad regardless, but Davesprite shunts that thought out of his mind basically as soon as it gets there.
no subject
"I'd really appreciate you showing me the ropes. I don't even know how to hold this thing properly."
Which should have been obvious, since his grip on the hilt was shaky at best.
no subject
"It's not that hard once you're used to it, it's just getting used to it that's kind of a motherfucker. When you're in the middle of a fight, you want to be able to go straight to this grip, not spend time your opponent might be trying to stab you correcting it."
For all the seriousness that statement should have, Davesprite sounds awfully casual.
no subject
And with that, he did his best to correct the grip, casting glances at Davesprite to check that he was holding the sword correctly. It was certainly different, but he thought he could probably get used to it the more he practiced.
no subject
"Yeah, that's a fuckload better than what you had before. You want to be able to strike from as many angles as you can without sacrificing the integrity of your grip."
To demonstrate, Davesprite does a few slow strikes into the air, first bringing the sword down from above, then upwards in a diagonal motion, both using the same grip.
no subject
"Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. Better to be more effective than less, and all that." Viktor smiled and copied the movements as best he could, finding the sword a lot easier to hold onto now.
no subject
"Pretty much. It's fucking spectacular how many people are willing to sacrifice actual skill for looking cool, and by spectacular I mean depressing. Anyway, before you jump to sparring with someone you should probably get an idea of your strikes on a practice target like this thing. Turns into a bit of a shitshow if your opponent has their head around basic offense and you wouldn't know a block from your left testicle."
no subject
"That sounds sensible! And I really hope I can learn that distinction fast. Sounds rather painful if I don't."
Oh yes, he can humor. Sometimes. Maybe. A little.
But he took the stance that felt most natural and faced the dummy, glancing over for critique.
no subject
Davesprite goes along with the train of humour, but also moves to inspect Viktor's stance rather critically, taking a brief moment to levitate and swoop around him to get all angles.
"You're good on most of it, just maybe widen your stance a little."
