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~

Well, he didn't! There was no point in trying to act like he had any idea, after all. She'd soon realize that was close to falling forward just from the weight of it!

"Oh good! You have my thanks. I don't think dying appeals too much to me."

Well. Aside from already being dead, and all that. But he couldn't be picky.

"Am I? I'm not surprised, from what I know this is the very first time I've held a sword. Or tried to. How should my hands be?"

Could he even handle that thing? Lux certainly had some concerns and, closing the space between him, the blond inspected both shinki and weapon, her slightly serious exterior melting away as he made an attempt at a joke. "I highly doubt dying a second time is any fun," She smiled, "So best we try to avoid that, shall we?"

As for his technique; "Here," She offered, adjusting her own grip on her sword. While not quite the same weight or length, she could at least somewhat surmise what she should be doing. "Your hands should be placed like this, with a little bit of give. Don't grip the handle too tightly, or you won't be able to maneuver the blade nearly as well. Think of it as like a partner, or an extension of your own arm. If you're too stiff, you'll end up getting hurt."

"I think," She paused, wincing a smile. That sounded about right...

Of course he couldn't, but he was certainly going to give it his best shot! To that end, he paid careful attention to where Lux's hands were placed on her sword and copied it as best he could, trying to keep himself from holding it too tightly.

"Ahhhh, yes, being too stiff with a partner would be absolutely terrible!"

In any variety of ways, even.
