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~

[ No promises. ]

Yeah. I did the motion just like we were shown. Where the hell did fire come from?

[hackberrydragon]

I... don't really know.

[ There's a small frown and a hum of thought. ]

Maybe... it's something you've always known how to do? I've heard some shinki can do things others can't, no matter how much we train. Body memory sure is something, though.

[thevanguard]

You mean... from before here?

[ Yata shifts uncomfortably when that option is suggested, not knowing how he feels about it. And it's not like... he can find out about it like that, can he? ]

[hackberrydragon]

Could be.

[ A small frown as he adjusts his glasses. ]

It couldn't be out of the realm of possibility. Either that or it's a power specific to you, too. That... sort of thing happens here, too.

[ And he turns his attention back up to Yata. ]

You just got here?

[thevanguard]

Tch. What a pain.

[ Yata sighs heavily and rubs a hand against the back of his neck. At the question, he tips his head back to eye the other guy. ]

Eh? Yeah, just today. Guess that's pretty obvious.

[hackberrydragon]

Kind of...

[ There's a minute fluster there though. ]

I... it's not from the inexperience! It's just... I don't think I've ever seen your face before.

[thevanguard]

[ Yata gives a scoff of a laugh at that and turns to face the other guy fully now. ]

What, you go around memorizing everyone's faces here?

[hackberrydragon]

Well... kind of. It helps to be able to figure out the gods from the shinki and the newbies from the ones who've been here a while.

[ And an awkward rub of the back of his head. Bet you weren't expecting him to be serious, huh? ]

[thevanguard]

[ You're wearing glasses, maybe it comes with the territory?

Yata just arches an eyebrow at him though, not having expected a serious answer to that. ]

Are you kidding? [ He doesn't look like he's kidding. Huh. Yata shoots a glance around him at the number of people here - gods and shinki both. ] That's a lot of people to keep track of.

[hackberrydragon]

[ He's not gonna start calling you Misaki, don't worry. ]

Yeah. It's kind of weird but it's something I've been able to do since I got here. Names and faces kind of get filed away pretty easy.

[ Special shinki power: being a glorified secretary. ]

It's Eno, by the way. Tatsuya Enomoto. Shinki. You?

[thevanguard]

[ Good. It'd be a shame to have to beat the shit out of you on Day One. Sounds like a hassle. ]

Huh. Well, good for you, I guess? It sounds pretty exhausting, though. Even if it would be useful.

[ Probably more useful than Spontaneous Combustion, at least. Maybe? ]

I'm Yata. Also a shinki, I guess. I'm still trying to figure all of this out, mostly.
