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~

I have no need of a horse.

[The sword at her side disappears in a flicker of light, and in its place a bow coalesces in her free hand with that same mystic shine. No quiver appears to accompany it, because she has no need of physical arrows either.]

[priforprince]

[ ...and that's when Hibiki gets the first inkling that perhaps she and this god are operating on two different planes.

She blinks the sensation away, however, and nods. ] Excuse me a moment.

[ Note to self, while turning to head for equipment tables: find out why her sword didn't accompany her here. And perhaps replace it.

The neighbors can get rowdy.... ]

[nibelungvalesti]

[Lenneth stands motionless as a statue, only her eyes following Hibiki as she waits. She at least expects nothing dishonorable from the woman -- no sudden turning on her with a nocked arrow, for example. Hibiki gets that much credit in her mind.]

[priforprince]

[ That's not Hibiki's style, no. Where is the triumph in a rigged competition? Fair and square, with no punches pulled. And, of course, an overwhelming victory.

For her.

Ah, here's a bow. Hibiki lifts it, considers, determines it's up to snuff, selects arrows. There has to be a range around here with bulls' eyes if there's -

Thought so. A course with moving targets. Hibiki smirks and heads back over, one hand on her hip, the other carrying her bow. ] This way.

[nibelungvalesti]

[Lenneth traces Hibiki's gaze, then looks back to the other woman, her expression unreadable.]

...You believe a true measure of skill in battle lies in striking harmless targets?

[Lenneth does not need to put more than a shade of a skeptical tone in her voice to sound utterly dismissive of the thought.]

[priforprince]

Would you prefer I shot you?

[ Because that's the only other option that's immediately presenting itself to Hibiki, and while she won't disoblige, it doesn't seem prudent.

If they need a workaround, though, she's good at roundabout thinking that makes no sense to anybody else those. ]
