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~

[Is it a sun god thing? It's got to be a sun god thing. Between him and that flamboyant girl who wanted to make the sun shine purple....]

That's very...

[Oblique?]

... deep.

[She might sound a little sarcastic.]

[ It's fine, Tendou is used to people not understanding his sayings. It's difficult having such a grandmother sometimes.

Something like that. ]


It's quite simple. Why does the sun shine?

[ Apart from the obvious answer of nuclear reactions, he means. ]

Because without it life would never flourish. And that's why people worship its light, no?
skepticstarbuck: (neutrality)

[personal profile] skepticstarbuck 2017-03-02 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds right. I'm not an expert with mythology.

[Where is this going? Scully eyes him dubiously, and scoops another piece of oden into her mouth while she waits. It is delicious, and she'd better finish it before it gets cold.]
pathofheaven: (skypoint)

[personal profile] pathofheaven 2017-03-03 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
So as a sun god, the avatar of the sun itself, it is my responsibility to ensure those who turn to my light flourish. In some ways, I stand alone, but in others I cannot possibly ever be.

[ Therefore, he's fairly sure of his ability not just to work with others, but to uplift them through cooperation. That's not just something he aspires to, but one of his most basic responsibilities. ]
skepticstarbuck: (telephonic patience)

[personal profile] skepticstarbuck 2017-03-03 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
So, in other words, you're fine with working well with others... as long as you're the boss?

[personal profile] pathofheaven 2017-03-04 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't go that far.

[ He's not the toppest of top men even here in heaven, as an actual god, after all. ]

I'm just much more suited to leading than following.

[ He's really bad at following orders he doesn't like. ]
skepticstarbuck: (telephonic patience)

[personal profile] skepticstarbuck 2017-03-06 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
At least you recognize your weaknesses.

[She can't resist just a little jab at that. Because it sounds like that's more or less what he is saying, isn't it? Good at leading, not at working under others' orders.

He's full of himself. Maybe it's a sun god thing.]
pathofheaven: (smug)

[personal profile] pathofheaven 2017-03-06 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Nobody's perfect.

[ He's just as close as anyone can get.

Duh.

He grins, taking her jab in stride. ]


You can't call yourself a god without some confidence, can you?
skepticstarbuck: (patience carefully kept)

[personal profile] skepticstarbuck 2017-03-06 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe not. Although it sounds like you don't get much of a choice around here.

[Other people are going to call you a god whether you like it or not.]
pathofheaven: (skypoint)

[personal profile] pathofheaven 2017-03-07 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps not, but grandma said this: "Force the world to revolve around you. Life's more fun that way."

[ So no matter what hand you're dealt, make it work for you. And apparently being chosen as a god is a perfectly good excuse to work on his cocky bell-endery. ]
skepticstarbuck: (being short is suffering)

[personal profile] skepticstarbuck 2017-03-09 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Scully almost chokes on a soy-flavored hardboiled egg slice.]

Your grandmother must have been an interesting woman.
pathofheaven: (smug)

[personal profile] pathofheaven 2017-03-10 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
She certainly was. I owe everything to her.

[ In every sense of the word. ]
skepticstarbuck: (faraway light)

[personal profile] skepticstarbuck 2017-03-11 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Scully finds herself at a loss, briefly: it feels like this is the point in the conversation where she should add some anecdotes about her own family, but there's nothing there. They're lost to her with the rest of her past.

It's a little like being orphaned. Or, perhaps more accurately, reborn.]


Mm.

[There's just one piece of lotus root left in the bowl. She scoops it up, avoiding the need to say anything by having her mouth full for a few moments, before she swallows and looks around for a place to put the bowl.]

Thanks for the soup. It was delicious.
pathofheaven: (smug)

[personal profile] pathofheaven 2017-03-11 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tendou's a god, not a shinki. He couldn't possibly truly understand what Scully is going through, but he's observant enough to make a good guess.

Still, he has nothing useful to say in this situation, so: ]


I wouldn't dare give it away if I weren't confident, but you're very welcome.

[ He moves on, onto his food, where he's on sturdier ground. ]

Any time you need it, the sun will be there.
skepticstarbuck: (charming smile)

[personal profile] skepticstarbuck 2017-03-12 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's cheesy, and possibly blasphemous... but sweet, Scully admits, and relaxes into a wry smile.]

Thanks.
