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~
kokuyoyo: (Apparently I kept telling people I was)

First, don't try to remember things from when you were alive. Shinki get turned into ayakashi that way as well, if they're told about who they were before.

Understand?
junkyarddog: (As if I'm just being used)

[personal profile] junkyarddog 2017-02-20 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ken frowns.] I don't remember anything anyway, byon. [These instructions are confusing. Trying to remember something he has no memories of, to him, sounds like being told not to bite someone with the second mouth he doesn't have. He supposes, upon this bit of reflection, that it'd be cool to know where his cartridges came from, or where he got his animal abilities, but he honestly doesn't care all that much. All that matters is that he can do those things; the why isn't really important. It'd just be a cool bonus, not a necessary one. Certainly not one he'd be inclined to seek out, even if his own shinki instincts didn't turn him off the idea.]

Do people know who I was before, byon? [He scratches a cheek idly with a finger.] How do I stop 'em from telling me if they do?
kokuyoyo: (Woke up with a squirrel in my bed.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-21 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Some might. In that case, just kill them before they say too much.

[...]

Or maiming would do, I guess.... [They don't have to leap STRAIGHT to murder.]
junkyarddog: (Without thinking)

[personal profile] junkyarddog 2017-02-21 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[But murder is such a simple and straightforward solution. Ken frowns at the clarification as though that'd be more work, which from his perspective it actually is.] So...I'd have to maim their mouths or their throats, so they couldn't talk anymore...? That'd kill 'em anyway, byon.

[These children are on the same terrible wavelength.]
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-21 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
It depends.... [A roll of his shoulders.] But I guess you don't seem like you know how to be careful, so it's the same thing in the end...

[Seriously, there wasn't even a little bit of an attempt in what he watched.]

Anyway, the second thing is... If you have to talk about Axel-sama to someone or tell them your god, just say "Hestia" instead.
junkyarddog: (Who was fitted with collar and chain)

[personal profile] junkyarddog 2017-02-22 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
He said Hestia too, byon. [Ken frowns.] How come I can't just say Axel, though? [As far as Ken is concerned, Axel sounds way cooler.]
kokuyoyo: (Woke up with a squirrel in my bed.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-22 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Chikusa actually starts to look uncomfortable- not overtly, because Chikusa's emotions are buried under various layers of apathy, exhaustion, and depression, but it's certainly there in the slight twist of his mouth.]

Axel-sama has a... complicated past here. Some people might react strangely to his name. So until you know if they're trustworthy... Just be careful.
junkyarddog: (Who was fitted with collar and chain)

[personal profile] junkyarddog 2017-02-24 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Are you worried about him? [Ken leans in, studying Chikusa curiously. The signs of Chikusa's discomfort are subtle - or they would be, to anyone else. For some reason, though, they glow like beacons to Ken. It'll be awhile until he rediscovers the context for why that is.] Isn't he a god, byon? What can happen to a god?

[Ken just assumed a god was invincible, so he doesn't understand the idea of being worried over the well-being of one.]
kokuyoyo: (I don't do stupid things anymore.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-24 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Slightly, Chikusa's eyes narrow.]

He's our god... You should be worried about him. [No answer on that one.] And anyway... Things can still happen to gods.

Strong feelings... and negative ones like guilt. They can feel that, and sometimes get harmed by them. [Best to tell him that now, instead of doing what had happened to Chikusa and learning later after having to talk to Hakkai.] And anyway.... something's been making gods and shinki vanish, lately.
junkyarddog: (Sometimes it seems to me)

[personal profile] junkyarddog 2017-02-24 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I wanna help him, sure. [Ken scratches the back of his neck.] Just didn't think I had to worry about anything being able to happen to a god, byon.

[These revelations clearly startle him, however, and he stares at Chikusa.] Feelings can hurt gods? [The vanishing is...alarming, definitely, and it puts Ken into a rather defensive mode that has quiet tension running through every limb. But while it's news, it's at least news that makes sense. Emotions being able to hurt gods is confusing news, and he needs that clarified first.]
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-24 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ours can. Because.... we're connected by the names he gave us. So he can sense those kind of things.

And if they're negative... They can bother him, or hurt him. So don't be reckless.

[Things he is already starting to realize: Ken might not have an idea of any other way to literally be]
junkyarddog: (Who was fitted with collar and chain)

[personal profile] junkyarddog 2017-02-28 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
How come they hurt him and not us? [Ken's still not sure how this works. Feeling negative emotions...well, it kind of feels like it hurts, but not in any solid, quantifiable way. (Ken doesn't really comprehend or recognize the psychological scars he's been left with. He just sees how he feels, how he reacts, how he is as being just...himself, rather than his self being the product of his experiences. His point of view is too focused on the present and the immediate to look back at a chain of events and see how they inevitably lead to a result.) But that's with his own feelings. It's hard to imagine someone else being hurt by the way he feels. And not just feeling hurt, but being actually hurt. (Ken also doesn't recognize that physical damage isn't the only 'real' damage.)]

What happens when a god gets hurt?
kokuyoyo: (I don't do stupid things anymore.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-28 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
It’s something stupid and old….

[Enlightening. Truly. After a second, however, Chikusa sighs and nudges up hi glasses again. Did they really need adjusting? Probably not.]

Shinki are supposed to act as consciences for the gods… or were… Feeling guilty hurt them to let them know boundaries…

If a god gets hurt enough… probably like anything else, they’ll end up dead… So don’t do anything that will trouble Axel-sama like that.
junkyarddog: (As if I'm just being used)

[personal profile] junkyarddog 2017-03-02 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. [None of that makes much sense to Ken, although it's less that he doesn't follow what Chikusa's saying and more that he doesn't see the point behind it all. But there's plenty of stuff he doesn't understand, and he knows how to shrug off not understanding all the whys and hows that aren't really important. (Or at least they're not important to him.)

Usually he's fine so long as he knows how things are. Context is where things get complicated and hard to follow.

He considers the matter for a few moments, then shrugs.]
I don't really feel guilty much, byon. [The only thing he can think of that would make him feel bad, off the top of his head, would be hurting Axel...and if he can only hurt Axel by feeling guilty, that probably means he's safe, right?]
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-03-03 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Chikusa considers this. It’s not that he doesn’t believe Ken- he doesn’t feel guilty for much himself unless he thinks he’s hurting Axel. It’s just that, while this works for the best, he wasn’t expecting it.]

….Good. Do you want to know anything else about being a shinki…?
junkyarddog: (Without thinking)

[personal profile] junkyarddog 2017-03-05 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ken considers this, then shakes his head. The things Axel had covered with him, Chikusa's mentioned too, but Chikusa's gone a bit further.] What else is there to know, byon? [There's a touch of a whine in his voice. There's so much stuff to know. to have to remember. It's all complicated and it's a pain.]
kokuyoyo: (I don't even know how to be here.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-03-05 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
A lot. [But before Ken can suffer too much-] But... I'm Axel-sama's first shinki... so I'll know everything since you can't.

[Ever so slightly, his chin tucks in a little and his head shifts to the side- he's really pleased about being Axel's exemplar. It's perhaps the one good thing that's come out of another shinki arriving on the scene. It's not really a title that means much with just one, is it?]
junkyarddog: (Without thinking)

[personal profile] junkyarddog 2017-03-08 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ken huffs.] What's so great about you dying before I did, byon... [This is a sulky mutter. Just as Chikusa's being first gives him some measure of pride, Ken's being second is inspiring a measure of jealousy for Chikusa's position.]
kokuyoyo: (I mean I don't even call it a hangover)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-03-09 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
It means I have more experience, so I know more and am better at it then you....

[...Probably. Still a faint concern that for all he's an obvious idiot, Ken's best skills are purely in the realm of combat. If that's how it is, Chikusa thinks he can be fine with this.]
junkyarddog: (When you're on the street)

[personal profile] junkyarddog 2017-03-13 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
It means you sucked more than I did when you were alive because I lived longer, byon! [Ken, that isn't even remotely how it works, but nice effort.]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-03-13 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
It looks like you barely lived longer considering the time difference between my death and yours... So is that really anything to be proud of....
junkyarddog: (When you're on the street)

[personal profile] junkyarddog 2017-03-16 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
How's it make any more sense for you to get special treatment 'cause you died first, shitty four-eyes? [And Ken sticks out his tongue at him, an action which admittedly requires little provocation. Sometimes Ken does that for no reason whatsoever, in fact.] How's that prove you're the best one, byon?

[Clearly Ken sees Chikusa's being Axel's exemplar as some kind of challenge. Or competition.]
kokuyoyo: (I mean I don't even call it a hangover)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-03-17 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Up until this point, if asked about competing for his god’s attention, Chikusa would probably look incredibly weary at the very idea. That sounds like an awful lot of work, after al. However, now that it’s happening…. Suddenly, he has absolutely zero desire to lose, and his horrendous slouch actually straightens itself out a little at the challenge in Ken’s voice.]

I wasn’t the one who got hit in the face with a yoyo….
junkyarddog: (Who was breaking away from the pack)

[personal profile] junkyarddog 2017-03-21 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not the one who is a yoyo, byon! [Ken says this like he's won the debate, even though for all he knows, he turns into something even more ludicrous.

(He does, although on a different metric of ludicrous.)]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-03-22 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[And for this, there's the barest of positioning of his head that still, for Ken, will make it clear he's looking down on him. This, he has a comeback for.]

Axel-sama has already found reason to use him twice, and I was perfectly useful both times.

[And Axel's opinion is the one that matters.]
