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~

Weeeell. [ She thinks that over for a minute. ] I don't really know anything about fishing. But I like taking care of people. I don't want anyone to be sad or lonely. But how do I practice that to make it better?

[kokuyoyo]

Read. [The answer seems obvious to him.] They write books on all sorts of things...

[welcome_home]

[ ...Except she's not very good at that yet, either. But she ducks her head, taking the advice to heart, a troubled frown on her lips. ]

O-okay. I can try that?

[kokuyoyo]

[That seems settled, then, and he’s back up to his feet.]

The internet probably has things about it too… That’s what I’ve been using.

[welcome_home]

The internet?

[ More things she doesn't know very much about. But maybe her big brother does. ]

Have you found a lot? What have you been learning?

[kokuyoyo]

About Greek gods… and how to cook.

[So Mister Yoyo might maybe stop being such a god damn thief, although don’t put any money on that one, Nanako.]

[welcome_home]

[ She's so proud of you, Mister Yoyo! ]

You're learning how to cook? Yay! Did you make anything yummy?

Is your god Greek?

[kokuyoyo]

I've grilled mushrooms.... but nothing indepth.

[And grilling almost seems like it doesn't count, somehow, or at least that's the impression Chikusa has gotten.]

Yes.... Hestia. God of the hearth.

[welcome_home]

Those sound yummy! If you ever need help, I know how to make some things, too!

[ Hestia? That's another god name she hasn't heard of before. ] Does that make her a god of cooking?

[kokuyoyo]

Alright....

[Hey, life is already weird, might as well take cooking lessons from a child.]

Hestia's domain is a lot of things... but cooking is part of it, I think. So I'm trying to be good at it...

[welcome_home]

Some things aren't that hard to make, I can show you!

[ She knows a few recipes, and her big brother had taught her more when he'd moved in. Which was good, because she'd often been left to fend for herself at home. ]

[kokuyoyo]

Like what?

[This feels important to ask. Is he going to be making little kids meals? Which could still be important, but… still.]

[welcome_home]

Mmmmmm. [ She hums thoughtfully. ] I can make eggs! And onigiri. And cookies. And I made a cake! But I need some help with that because the pans are too big.

that was like the opposite of an apathetic nerd whups

[kokuyoyo]

[Eggs, yeah. Cookies, he's pretty sure. Cake.... Probably? But...]

...Onigiri are those rice balls aren't they...?t

lol!

[welcome_home]

Yeah! [ Nanako nods. ] There are different kinds, though.

[kokuyoyo]

Really?

[For such a Japanese staple, somehow Chikusa has missed that particular memo.]

[welcome_home]

Yeah, you can make them different ways, and with different things inside. Or maybe just rice sometimes too. I like making animals out of them!

[kokuyoyo]

...I don’t know how to do that…

[But then again, he just knows the very bare basics of what to do with rice. A slight tilt of his head.]

….I guess I could learn them. [A shrug.] If you want me to look into things about your title…

[welcome_home]

[ Her eyes widen at that, because she would have taught you for free. ]

Really? Okay!

[kokuyoyo]

[Listen- his immediate thought was that he would have to trade something for a skill. People being nice, even little kids, is just. Not his normal habitat. Not that he even knows what is normal for him before Axel picked him up.]

I’ll go back to practice then…. You should probably go back to other gods too…

[welcome_home]

[ She nods in agreement, casting another glance back over her shoulder at the shinki once more. ]

Yeah, I will. Maybe I will keep practicing anyway. Thank you, Chikusa!

[kokuyoyo]

[A lazy sort of wave that could either be dismissal or goodbye. Chikusa…. At least try…]

[welcome_home]

[ It's fine, she'll take it and wave cheerfully back at him as she heads back to the training yard. ]

Bye, Mister Yo-yo! Good luck!
