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~

"A rifle! That's so perfect for you. Long and lean and sleek..."

Well. He wasn't hitting on her, not really. He was just a ridiculous flirt. Sorry, Scully.

And on the contrary, he thought he could use a gold medal to smack someone or something across the face. That would be pretty effective! And hurt a lot! But the sword was probably more effective, all things considered.

[skepticstarbuck]

She looks up at him from what is at least half a foot less height than he has. Long and lean, indeed.

... She can't complain about outrageous flattery too much, though. Not when he looks like he's just trying to be charming about it. Instead, she just rolls her eyes.

"Thanks," she mutters, and adds, "Anyway, you'll probably do most of your fighting with your god, so you might as well practice whatever's going to do you the most good there."

[leapingchuu]

Pft, height didn't have much to do with it! His assessment was still correct and he'd fight her if he needed to. Well, not really since she'd pretty obviously kick his ass, but he could argue with the best of them.

"You're right, I should. He told me to learn spells, but...well. I like interesting things. Spells would probably be interesting too, though..."

[skepticstarbuck]

"I'm sure they would if you got them to work," Scully said. Spells were significantly more interesting, in her opinion. A sword was a sword. The pointy bit went into the opponent (or, more likely, into a bush, or your own leg if you really didn't know what you were doing and tried to flourish it dramatically.)

Magic, on the other hand, raised all sorts of interesting questions.

"I've been having enough trouble with borderlines."

[leapingchuu]

"I haven't even started with those yet, to be honest! That's likely why my god is so grumpy. Not that he isn't usually."

And Viktor would definitely be the person whose sword ended up in a bush. Once he learned it he'd be fine, which was why he was here, after all. But for right now...nope. Couldn't use it in any capacity whatsoever.

[skepticstarbuck]

"Wait, really? Shouldn't you start with those first?"

Swords aren't exactly practical, but more importantly, they're not even useful against monsters if what Scully's heard is right. And borderlines are supposed to be the most basic spell.

She sighs, and gives the cheerful man another once-over. He's going to get himself killed. He really, really is.

"... I can tell you what I know if it helps," she offers, wearily.
