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~

[Ken grumbles, strapping the weapon to his non-bandaged hand and flexing his knuckles experimentally. This felt pretty good--right. He would've preferred longer blades, but this would do.]

'Never finished', huh? How long did it take you to wake up, anyway? I had to go get a fucking rabies vaccination because you used my arm as a goddamn chew toy.

[disciplineking]

[Hibari sneered at him.]

Don't underestimate me, or I'll bite you to death. Though seeing how you're here already, I might as well try to finish the job.

And I don't have rabies.

[And then it was back to action, with Hibari rushing forward suddenly, striking down at Ken's head with his tonfa.]

[whereyoulead]

[Ken sticks out his tongue, because while he may be the older one he is the epitome of a grown-up.]

Yeah, guess who's not the only one, kid?

[He brings up his hand, the blades flashing to block the blow. His arm gives a little, but mostly so he can get more force to shove away, and then he's lashing out with one of his professional athlete legs to kick you in the side of the head.]

[disciplineking]

[The other arm came up to block the kick; he remembered this guy's legs and goddammit, he really had some force behind them. Enough that he had to dig his heels in to stop himself from moving any further.

Ever since he saw the guy, Hibari had been expelling his cloud flames growing his box animal into a giant spiked ball behind Ken. He moved forward to clash again while Ken was off balance and practically headbutted the guy before driving his tonfa in to knock him back.]

[whereyoulead]

[Well, he can only punch with one arm, so he's being forced to use his legs, knees, and elbow more.

He'd really rather not, but he'd rather not be fighting like this in the first place. That being without one arm. Because you broke it. You asshole.

The air drives out of Ken's lungs--he's quick on the recover, though, and digs a heel in to work with the momentum, turn himself around. He catches sight of the spiked ball behind him, one of the spikes catches on his coat, and then he's dancing away, around.]

Y'know I'd almost think you didn't like me since you keep trying to murder me.

[disciplineking]

If I hold back, it isn't a real fight. I should almost apologize for last time. I've been meaning to try going full throttle.

[Hibari didn't follow Ken as he jumped back, instead drawing back the giant needle sphere. He had to admit that while he knew how to use these flames, he'd been rather clumsily stumbling around, trying to use brute force without any elegance. It had been sort of effective in teaching him new ways to use it, but Hibari felt it was a far cry from how strong he really was.

Either way, Hibari let the cloud flames build up and then suddenly they burst out from his body as a practically tangible aura. His tonfas lit up with purple flames and Ken could probably feel the intense pressure pouring on him from the release of Hibari's power.

Both of Hibari's tonfas turned into handcuffs this time, multiplying as he twirled them around his finger. Quickly, while Ken wasn't moving-or maybe while he was-one of the handcuffs spun out to clasp around a tree the was part of the training field, suddenly cutting out the trunk from underneath it, causing it to tip and fall towards his opponent with intent to crush.]

[whereyoulead]

Yeah, not for you, aside from the whole shinki thing I'm a goddamn normal person.

[A normal person who really doesn't want to be crushed by a tree. Jesus wept, you are absolutely insane.

And also summoning magic fucking fire on top of the amazing bullshit that is transforming weapons, Ken hates every moment of this. Despite the sarcasm he legitimately does not want to die again and fuck all of this, he's just trying to get an escape route at this point.

Tot was already pissed at him enough for the last time.

He sees the handcuffs latch around the tree trunk, hears the wood splintering, and just lets loose an absolute litany of curses.]

Alright can we fucking not!

[It's a tree, it's not like it's particularly hard to dodge, gravity is a bitch and it's falling pretty fast, but he can still dart out of the way.]

[disciplineking]

[Hibari didn't even care about replying to that. It wasn't his fault Ken wasn't a normal person, and he'd chosen the guy to fight because he'd seen a light in his eyes similar to his own.

Was he mistaken? Because this guy started seeming like a coward to him. Whatever. He still wanted a fight and Ken wasn't getting away that easily. Hibari darted forward, jumping up onto the tree falling and bringing a fist down to smash it in half, wood shards flying everywhere. A few of them buried themselves in his skin, but he ignored them, by trying to accomplish his task; cutting off Ken's escape routes with giant peices of wood.

He landed on both of his feet, a few of the spiked orbs floating around his head.]

I took you as someone who liked fighting.

[slantedcross]

[Shinki training seemed like a good place to find his new shinki... minimal description that he had.

Instead, he hears crashes of splintering wood and the familiar sounds of Ken getting in over his thick little head.

It wasn't that Youji had a sixth sense for "Ken is in trouble again," that was Aya but as he follows the angry yelling... Ken likes fights, Ken begged him to give him fights, of course the stupid kid (he'll always be a stupid kid in Youji's head) went to where the fights were. Elementary, really. He ought to have been prepared to... not bail him out, Youji wasn't planning on bailing him out, but maybe running a little inference, a little damage control.

The smell of fire makes him run a little faster.

Ken crouching, boxed in by the trees and by a guy standing there making spiky orbs float around, talking about... liking fighting... Youji mentally swears himself, because now he has to move.

He lets the wire fly, aiming for it to wrap tight around the other guy's neck, not quite recognizing him from behind.]

I took him as someone who wants to live to fight another day, personally.
