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~

[But this time, Niles is prepared, and removes his hand before the polearm can hit it. He's not letting this brat pick up the slack that he let loose. He got one free attack.

Now he's gotta work for the rest.]


Death. Then again, some may say me and death are one in the same for you.

[The spin, he tries to get away from, taking a blow to his leg as he side steps. Close combat, the one thing he's not good at. According to himself. He has to get further away or there's going to be real trouble for himself.

He starts backstepping a bit quicker, hoping to avoid any further attacks from this little shit.]

[ But when Yata sets himself on a course of action, he doesn't do things halfway. And close combat happens to be his specialty. Not that he knows that for sure, but these movements come easily, almost instinctively, so he stops thinking about it and lets his muscle memory work for him.

When Niles backs up, he pursues, stave a blur of motion - jabs, swings and parries. His primary aim is still the hand that holds the daggers, sensing that they're potentially the biggest threat at the moment, but if he finds any openings in Niles' defense, he's quick to take advantage.

Still, some part of him holds back a little, remembering that this is meant to be sparring, training. Even if this guy pissed him off, Yata's offensive is with the aim to disarm and disable rather than seriously injure. ]

[He's starting to realize tormenting a guy with this sort of skillset is a bad time. He needs better training. Close combat training. He glares as he keeps moving back.

One of the jabs knocks the knives out of his hand, and he hisses. There's no leeway to get away. He's moving too damn fast for him to fight back against. He's not strong, he's not powerful, all he has is long range weapons...

Oh, and flexibility.

Using that part to his advantage, he ducks down before another jab comes through and slides his leg along the ground, trying to trip him up. It's a dirty move.

But hey, Niles is a dirty man.]

[ In more ways than one.

Yata's actually not adverse to fighting dirty. If given the opportunity, he wouldn't have hesitated to use it to his advantage, either. Whatever gets the job done, after all. Niles gets lucky this time, in that he manages to catch Yata by surprise by the move and the brawler stumbles, off-balance, one arm flailing wildly.

But falling doesn't feel all that unfamiliar either, so he lashes out with his stave for one more blow - a sharp jab to the back of Niles' knees to return the favor - even as he goes sprawling headfirst to the ground. Landing on hands and knees, his polearm clatters to land beside him.

Despite the fall, he's smirking, fierce and sharp. ]
Heh. Not bad, old man.

[They're both knocked back. Yata is now on the ground, and with that sharp jab, he's not far behind, landing on his knees with a groan. Damn. He's not pleased by this. It's clear he's growing weak when it comes to combat.

Hubris is getting to be quite the asshole.

He groans, moving to stand up again slowly, rubbing the back of his legs.]


I'm not that old, shortie.

[And he is bad.

Thank god he's at least got this.]

[ Yata uses the momentary interruption to put some distance between them, his stave held up in front of him like a shield. Which, in theory, didn't seem like it would work very well but he doesn't look all that concerned about it this time. In fact, standing there eyeing Niles, he looks pretty damn comfortable and confident, his grip loose about the polearm. ]

Don't call me short. Especially when you just about landed on your ass, too.

You're still short, no matter how you won.

[Because even though Niles is an asshole,he's willing to admit when he's beaten. This proves it, however. He's growing weak, and he's not willing to stay that way.

He's going to need to train.]


I can get better. You'll always be short.
