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~

[Genuine surprise flickers across his face that Shun actually guessed which move in particular he really meant (although getting pinned had certainly been part of it too), and that he's...not all that far off the mark either. It's not quite right either, but he'd be lying if he said that wasn't part of it. It's certainly a fantastic excuse to cling to, anyway.]

Sorry. Usually I'm better prepared for it, but you took me by surprise. But that tells you for sure that I'm fine, right?

[revolutionfalcon]

[Shun seems to consider that for a moment before giving a somewhat non-committal sound in answer. However, he does lean his weight off Ren finally, and after a moment, stands himself up in one fluid motion so Ren isn't pinned under him anymore. This time, he's paying extra attention in case Ren decides to pull anything else on the way up.]

You're not getting a hand up whether you're fine or not. [The remark is made in such a deadpan manner it's hard to tell if he's being serious or not.]

[shadowrevenger]

[...Yeah, okay, that's fair. He spends a moment blinking up at the empty air where Shun had been a moment ago, and then sighs and rolls over to push himself back onto his feet. As he straightens up and smiles at Shun, he absently rubs at one of his wrists with his thumb. Not because it hurt, but more because he's been getting used to having Shun's hand there.]

I wouldn't have tried to trick you this time. [He also knows that's not going to sway Shun at all, which is why he only said it after getting up.]

[revolutionfalcon]

[While Shun's gaze does flick briefly to the motion of Ren rubbing his wrist, he doesn't ask about it, because he assumes it is because it hurt and he's not going to question that at this point. And, as expected, Ren's statement does nothing to sway his attitude, with him merely letting out a brief huff and turning away slightly, eyes still on Ren.]

There aren't many people who have that privilege anyway. [So basically, he's excusing his failure to see that coming by the fact that it's something he'd only fall for from very few people.]

[shadowrevenger]

Oh, now I feel bad about taking advantage of you. I hope you won't take it away.

[He smiles sheepishly as he says it but doesn't actually sound all that sorry about it--although he really does hope that Shun will continue to help him off the ground when he needs it. He likes that a lot, and if he managed to ruin that for himself...well, maybe it wasn't a total loss. He did get something out of it.

He finally lets go of his wrist to hold onto his elbows instead as he glances toward where the refreshments have been set up.]

I'm going to go get something to drink. Do you want anything?

[revolutionfalcon]

[He definitely doesn't sound all that sorry, and in accordance with that, Shun turns his head away slightly, half shrugging as if he hasn't decided yet.]

We'll see. [Okay, no, he isn't going to take it away, but Ren could probably do with at least a few days of revoked hand-up privileges to maybe make him marginally more sorry. Shun's pretty sure he isn't going to get any better than that.

When Ren looks over to the refreshments table, Shun glances over as well in case he's looking for other reasons. In answer to the question, though, he shakes his head.]

I'm fine. I'll get something myself later.

[shadowrevenger]

[The pout Ren gives him could be for either of those answers, although since it started with the first one, Shun is welcome to think it's only for that. Either way, it's one of his pouts that says he's not actually upset about whatever he's pouting at, and by the times he's turning away to head over to the refreshments, he's smiling again.]

Okay. But if you get thirsty before then, I don't mind sharing~

[And with that, off he goes to spend a little too long lingering at the refreshments table while he contemplates the brand new thing he learned about himself today.]

[revolutionfalcon]

[Shun is very used to that particular variety of Ren pouting by now, and so he thinks little of it regardless of which answer it's for. It doesn't seem to him like something he should be too worried about.

Ren's remark, though, is one he takes as seriously as he does everything else, and he huffs slightly as he turns in the direction of the weapons training area instead.]

I'll be fine. Focus on maintaining your own energy first.

[As Ren goes off, Shun heads over to go through the weapons. He should probably find some time to practice sword again like Bishamon had shown him...]
