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 makes an annoyed noise and wrinkles her nose more]

Mushy. [Her voice is muffled around the food, which she swallows and tilts her head from one side to the other a couple of times.] ...Is not bad, but strange. Taste is different.

What other foods you like? [She wants to try them now.]

[vindicavi]

[ The way she'd wrinkled her nose, he'd assumed she didn't like it at all. Apparently his assumption had been wrong. ]

Rice balls with tuna. [ Or at least those and tomatoes are his favourites. Other than those, it's rather varied. ] Ramen isn't bad either... unless it's that instant stuff. I knew someone who ate it all the time. You'd think his teeth would've rotted out of his head by now.

[ That aside, though ] I'm not all that picky, but I'm not a fan of sweets or natto. You can have those. [ But hey! At least this means he's got someone else he can give sweets to should he ever end up with any. ]

[mermaiding]

Rice balls with tuna... Ah, want that! [It sounds good!!] Ramen... What is ramen? Want to try too. Want to try many things.

[She tilts her head, curious and confused.] Natto? What is natto?

[vindicavi]

Natto is... [ Disgusting. Like beans covered in stringy glue and snot. The worst thing he's ever tried. How does he explain this? ] ...fermented soybeans that stick together in some kind of-- They don't taste good. [ That works. ]

[ But the rice balls and ramen are doable! ] Ramen is soup with noodles. There's a bunch of different flavors, and all sorts of toppings that can be put in. It's kind of hard to explain it, but if I can find a good place for ramen on the Near Shore, then ...we'll go, and you can try it, okay?

[ While he's not the greatest at being social, this is his way of honoring Naruto's memory (since the other isn't here): by introducing his best friend's favourite food to someone who's never tried it. ]

And we'll see if we can fond some tuna rice balls, too. They have to be fresh, though, because otherwise the tuna gets mushy.

[mermaiding]

[She nibbles on another cookie, her eyes narrowing slightly in suspicion at the offer. He looks human enough, so she's not inclined to say yes, but... Food. How can she say no to food?

Oona hums a moment, kicking her legs as she thinks before at last she nods.] Yes, alright. Will accept. If forced to stay here for long time, must make worth it. So, will eat lots and lots! [no, wait, better plan:] Will eat everything! [She puffs up smugly, like her announcement is a great achievement or something already.]

[vindicavi]

[ And the only thing he can think is that this girl would probably get along well with Chouji. Either that, or they'd be at each other's throats over who got what, but still... food buddies, or something to that effect. ]

That's a pretty big goal to have. [ Says the person whose own goals at home kept getting loftier and loftier with every new bit of information he received until they came crashing down around him. At least hers is slightly more doable.

He's still not good at this 'socializing like a normal person' though, so after a few moments, he moves to pick up his plate again. Maybe he should let her be and find himself a quiet place to eat... ] Whenever you'd like to go, let me know, alright? And don't make yourself sick eating too much to quickly. [ He's been there, done that, and it's not fun. ]
