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~

[ Demyx taps his cheek with an index finger thoughtfully. Did he help Riku after that...? ]

If by 'help' you mean 'hung out with', then... yeah, for sure!

[ But he had to have his obligatory belly laughs at Riku's expense first, of course, before they could meet again and have much quieter, friendlier talks. There's something about Riku that Demyx enjoys immensely, even if he can't explain the what or why.

In any case, back to being terrified now -- ]


I-I'm not good at being boring! [ ...Uh. Sure. ] No way, man! I'm not comfortable with that!

He's easy to spot, right? I'll just stay way, WAY out of his way!

[..He supposed it counted. It must for someone like this. It wasn't likely Demyx even knew the basics of things like first aid. That wasn't really .. help, but at least he hadn't run away from the sound of it.]

He's pretty tall, all white from head to toe, and has a big lizardy tail. I haven't seen anyone else even remotely like that yet..

[Easy enough to spot.]

...Well if you do get spotted, can you at least stay still and not make any small prey-like sounds?

[ By the time that description is finished, Demyx's expression is the dictionary definition of shock and horror. ]

That's your shinki?!

[ The shinki he's met have all been perfectly friendly, so excuse him for being completely blown away by the fact that, surprise! some aren't.

Nevertheless, he stiffens almost dutifully and nods more than a couple times, swallowing visibly. ]
Can do! ...I hope.

[ He's not prone to squealing, but if there was ever a time for it... ]

In my defense I thought most shinki were pretty humanoid looking until I encountered him and the orange fellow.

[He'd learned otherwise!]

..Oh the orange one is safe enough. He's friendly. Not mine though. ... I apologize if I've frightened you unduly, perhaps practicing that running away and escaping thing isn't a bad idea at all.

[But who to recommend!]

If Zangetsu ever corners you somewhere, see if you can give me a call or leave a message, I'll come right away. I can't guarantee I can stop him but I'll do my best. No point in having people eaten for no reason.

[ So, what he’s gathering from this is that somewhere -- somewhere he wants to stay far, far away from -- there’s a white lizard dude and an orange guy. Neither of them he cares to be near, even if the orange one is “friendly”. The white one just sounds terrifying.

Yes, he’ll definitely be practicing his sprints in the opposite direction of that guy. Especially if-- ]


Shinki can eat people?! [ This just keeps getting worse! ]

You have a mouth and teeth don't you?

[Shinki can eat all kinds of things!]

... I don't advocate eating other sapient life but there's the tools right there.

[At least it doesn't sound as if Zangetsu has any special adaptions that come from eating people, just a whole lot of enthusiasm when it comes to trying. ... Well, once he got what he wanted out of the relationship they could go their separate ways but until then it was dealing with the lizard guy.]
sitarsongs: (can we not?)

[personal profile] sitarsongs 2017-03-01 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah, but--...

[ He's wide-eyed, blinking, in total shock. It takes him a bit to finish his thought. ]

I'd never use my mouth that way!
moonfang: (blood)

LETS TRY THIS AGAIN o_O

[personal profile] moonfang 2017-03-02 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You eat hamburgers, don'tcha? It's the same thing.

[holy shit where did he come from?! One moment it was just the two of them, now there's another guy. A guy who seems to be standing in midair about ten feet up, actually. A guy with a tail, who speaks with an oddly garbled, warbly voice]

You shouldn't talk bad about people when they aren't around, Anubis. I would never eat another Shinki! Cross my hole. Not unless they started shit that I had to finish.

[he jumps from whatever invisible platform he seems to be standing on and lands near the two of them]
fixed_destiny: (Default)

second time's the charm??

[personal profile] fixed_destiny 2017-03-02 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
'Would' is different from 'could'. Some people definitely don't have such compunctions.

[If Xehanort is supposed to be ashamed or even visibly surprised, neither happens. Being good at controlling one's reactions is handy sometimes, though in truth Zangetsu's sudden appearance isn't .. that .. sudden.

It's hard to mask that sort of presence in the darkness.

... Poor Demyx.]


As soon as you quantify it with 'not unless', that means you would. My warning stands. Do you intend to outline in detail every single thing that counts as 'starting shit' to you, so everyone can more easily avoid it?

[Nope, he's still pretty certain Zangetsu would eat Demyx given the chance. And a lot of other people.]
sitarsongs: (wide-eyed)

i don't have an icon accurate enough for the hysterics he's in rn

[personal profile] sitarsongs 2017-03-02 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...Remind Demyx never to eat another hamburger EVER AGAIN. At this point, he's swearing off meat entirely after this traumatic encounter.

Also please remind him never to "start shit". Which, uh, he's basically the least shit-starting-ish person one will ever meet, so no issues there, right? Right!

So, Xehanort told him to freeze, as though this giant lizard-man's vision is based on movement, but of course all of that goes out the window once said lizard-man suddenly appears and Demyx is immediately grateful he hasn't had much to drink or eat today.

Naturally, his instinct is to run, as is his custom when it comes to fights and violence, and that's what takes over. It starts with backpedaling at the pace of a horror movie serial killer's next potential victim, complete with wide eyes and agape mouth. And, much like what is often the predictable cause of demise for a horror film's intrepid protagonist, Demyx too only gets a matter of steps before falling flat on his ass.

Even then, he scuttles back in a crab walk. ]


P-please don't! I-I don't wanna die!!

[ Uh, mission failed, Demyx. You're already dead, remember? ]

[Well, it's sudden to people WITHOUT innate senses for darkness and power and all that mess. Even giants can sneak up on the deaf.

Demyx's reaction, however, is everything Zangetsu could have possibly wanted and more. It was nice to see someone respect his power! Someone who was properly terrified of a being such as him. He casually strolls closer to Demyx, smiling a horrible, fangy smile as he stands over him
]

Don't wet yourself, now! I just said you're safe as long as you don't piss me off. Besides, I think the Heavens frown on cannibalism.

[he then turns back to Xehanort and jerks his thumb back toward the exit to the temple] Actually, it was you I was lookin' for. Wanted to let you know I'm blowin' this popsicle stand. They ain't teachin' nothin' I don't already know. I was hoping to get a leg up on some spells but... no dice.
fixed_destiny: (06)

[personal profile] fixed_destiny 2017-03-05 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[One day maybe Xehanort will have normal reactions to things! Today isn't that day. That's a little too entertaining for most people, being amused at someone else's terror surely isn't the right thing to do but ...

... but just look at him go!

As Zangetsu looms over Demyx like the spectre of death, Xehanort waves both hands just enough to hopefully get the poor bastard's attention, mouthing DON'T MOVE as if somehow this would HELP.

It won't.]


.. It wouldn't be cannibalism, you're not the same species.

[NOT HELPING THERE EITHER, XEHANORT.]

Not surprising. You might want to locate Bishamon, as a god of fighting she might be the only one who could really offer you something you haven't seen before. I'll keep an ear out if any spells do come up. There's been rumors.

[But nothing concrete enough for him to point in a direction and say 'fetch!' so there really wasn't much point in elaborating.

Maybe it'll give Demyx a few moments of reprieve.]
sitarsongs: (can we not?)

[personal profile] sitarsongs 2017-03-13 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ If Demyx's eyes could manage to go wider -- or, hell, even if they couldn't -- they do, upon staring up at that ferocious, fang-toothed smile as though it's the last thing he'll ever see.

Wet himself? Nah. But cry? Honestly? He might. Yet, he manages to wave a shaky hand with all the vigor of someone narrowly escaping with their life. How appropriate. ]


I-I-I won't! I promise!

[ And then he turns away, and Xehanort has to add THAT. Good grief, man! Way to have the timid, terrified blond Nobody scuttling even further away as soon as those eyes are off of him. But if he gets up and runs, will Zangetsu chase him down anyhow? Can he draw a borderline that can keep this shinki out, if so?

There's really only one way to find out. So, if their conversation is going to continue, he might make a break for it... ]
