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~

[She adds her strength to his efforts to stand, substantial as it is. She doesn't look like much of a physical presence, but her strength befits a goddess.]

I am not certain you needed to learn that lesson from me. Your defenses are not insignificant and you recover from hits well, but you would do well to learn a quick sidestep and counter, as I demonstrated against you.

[oathkeeper]

[As he stands and listens his eyes light up with grateful fondness.]

Sidestep and counter... Yeah, I'm not that great with countering! I'll try my best to get better at that.

[He smiles sincerely but winces shortly after. He raises a hand to his chest and casts a curaga spell on himself. Warm green light envelops him for a short moment as the pain fades.]

Thank you, by the way... [He looks a little sheepish.] I don't think I caught your name before.

[nibelungvalesti]

[How strange that he is both a warrior and a mage. In her experience, the two cannot be combined successfully -- time devoted to mastering one skill leaves little opportunity for the other.]

I am the Valkyrie. Here, I also bear the mantle of Osiris.

[oathkeeper]

Oh!

[Sora grins. Most gods and goddesses have two names.]

Do you like being called Valkyrie? or Osiris? I like to go by just Sora.

[nibelungvalesti]

I am the Valkyrie. Osiris is merely the mantle bestowed upon me here. [Simple straightforward logic, which dismisses all subtleties and nuance. That might come back to haunt her in the end...]

Sora. I shall remember that name.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora smiles and blushes a little in embarrassment that she's going to remember him.

Nodding, he rolls the last bit of pain out of his shoulders from the match.]

Thanks. I'm going to remember you too! You don't mind... training together again sometime, do you?

[nibelungvalesti]

My intention is to allow all who need training to visit me for that purpose. [This world is sorely in need of it, after all...] A proper battle against true foes would be of far greater value to you.

[oathkeeper]

[He grins with excitement.]

Thanks, Osiris!

[With that he gives a small wave goodbye.]

I'll catch up with you another time then! Soon!!

[nibelungvalesti]

[A slight frown is all that betrays the Valkyrie's disquiet at being called by another god's name, even if she IS that god now. But she says nothing, merely nods her acknowledgment and a farewell all in one.]
