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~

[ Nanako smiles brightly at that. ]

Yeah! That's how we are, too. Even though Sumio's still new. But we live with my big brother and his shinki at his temple and it's like that, too.

[thirdbeauty]

Your big brother?

[Does Nanako mean someone she looks at as a big brother or an actual big brother? She's a god, so she doesn't have the memory loss a shinki would...]

He's here with you too?

[welcome_home]

Yeah! [ Nanako's smile is brilliant at the mention of her brother and she nods. ] He was here before I was, so he could show me what to do, a little.

[thirdbeauty]

[Natsuru's smile brightens up as well, in response.]

Ah, that's really good! I'm glad you get to stay together here.

[She doesn't say this part, but she's especially happy that they both still have their memories of each other.]

[welcome_home]

Me, too. I think this place might be more scary if he wasn't.

[ She looks a little shy to be admitting that, but it was still true. ]

[thirdbeauty]

[Natsuru scoots in a little closer, reaching to gently take Nanako's hand. She seems like she could use some kind of reassurance, and that's all she could really think of, considering they were complete strangers before now.]

Don't worry... there's lots of other good people here that'll protect you from anything scary, too! It's not just your big brother and your shinki.

[Though of course, it's a relief that she has them too. It'd genuinely worry Natsuru if this girl had no one she knew to rely on.]

[welcome_home]

[ The action and the words bring Nanako's smile back, an easy cheerfulness that looks much more familiar on the little girl. ]

Yeah, everyone's really nice so far! I like everyone I've met, and they're really nice when I need help or get confused.

[thirdbeauty]

[Nanako's cheerfulness brightens up Natsuru's own smile, and she gives Nanako's hand a gentle, reassuring squeeze.]

I hope I can help too, if you ever need it! I won't mind if you call or visit Maria-sama's temple, anytime you want.

[Nanako may never need it, but Natsuru wants her to know that she can count on her too!]

And if you like sweets, you should come visit the place I work, too! As long as your big brother says it's okay.

[welcome_home]

Okay! I will come visit! I've been exploring aaaaall the temples I can find, they're really interesting!

[ Except then you said the magic word and she perks up. ]

Sweets?

[thirdbeauty]

Ours is a big treehouse, too! It's really nice.

[Because what kid wouldn't like a treehouse? There's a knowing look in Natsuru's eyes as she continues.]

I work at this little sweets shop, kind of like a bakery and cafe with some homemade candy too. I'm usually advertising outside, or handing out samples.

[welcome_home]

Whoa! [ Consider her officially impressed. ] That's so neat! It sounds like fun!

[ This is the second time she's heard of a shinki having a job somewhere, but it still takes her a little by surprise. ] Oooh, that sounds like fun, though!

[thirdbeauty]

I'll make sure to show you everything when I can!

[Nanako's enthusiasm is just so endearing! She can't help herself.]

Just as long as I'm not busy, and your brother knows where you are.

[welcome_home]

Okay! [ Nanako is quick to nod in anticipation. ] Just let me know when you're not busy and I'll come visit! I'll make sure to let my big brother know, too. Maybe I can bring him back some sweets?

[thirdbeauty]

Sure! I bet he'd like that a lot!
