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~

Good, try giving it another go that way.

[ He nods. ]

Yeah, I'm trying to see what I can and can't do, and this one is pretty fun.

Do shinki need to know how to fight, too? I thought we transformed and the gods did the stuff.
smilingbullet: (Browning A-Bolt)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2017-03-14 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably, at least basic defense for, well, defense purposes. We might not always be close to our gods and without them we can't transform.

[ And D2 doesn't want to be a burden. He already has a pretty useless vessel form. ]
fadingsunshine: (sad 1)

[personal profile] fadingsunshine 2017-03-19 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think I can... hurt anyone, not even Ayakashi.
smilingbullet: (Barrett MRAD)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2017-03-19 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ He thought she might be that type. ]

Sometimes there's no choice. In this case, if we don't do anything about the ayakashi, they'll hurt living people.
fadingsunshine: (sad 1)

[personal profile] fadingsunshine 2017-03-22 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[She's not looking so good. She's paler and looks a bit overwhelmed.]

Is there no other way?
smilingbullet: (Arisaka)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2017-03-22 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He shakes his head. ]

I’m afraid not.
fadingsunshine: (sad 2)

[personal profile] fadingsunshine 2017-03-26 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
...I wonder if that's why he never told me anything about this. It was another shinki friend who told me about the Ayakashi and being weapons. Maybe my god knew as soon as he met me.
smilingbullet: (JS 7.62)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2017-04-03 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
The one you should ask that is him, isn't it? Nobody else can tell you the answer to that.

[ Why had her god not told her though, really? He's also curious. He should have told her, it probably would have been best for her to hear it from her god. ]

fadingsunshine: (it's okay)

[personal profile] fadingsunshine 2017-04-05 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
He doesn't really talk much about stuff in general. Maybe he's not good at explanations? When I was worried about being a burden to him, he got so tied up I understood he was really poor.

[She tries to do the hand movements for Borderline again, distracted.]

You know, it just occurred to me that I was in a really good mood in our first day, with the beach and the sunny day and the party. Maybe he thought it was cruel to let me know so soon and ruin my arrival.

That might have something to do with it. It was a nice day and a lot of fun things were going on.

[ D2 took the chance to ask some of the more experienced shinki about the whole god-shinki deal, but that’s because he’s that kind of person, who wants to know about the fighting and stuff. ]

I think it might be hard for some people to hear that someone think they’re being a burden. But then you just have to make yourself feel like you’re not, right?
fadingsunshine: (sad 3)

[personal profile] fadingsunshine 2017-04-19 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Still, he never told me later... But the day was pretty nice so I should be thankful to not knowing for hours.

It's... it hurts a bit. Though I've been trying to help and learn as much as I can these days! I'm not sure about the fighting, but in other stuff I want to be more useful.
smilingbullet: (Chapina carbine)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2017-04-20 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
He still should have, at least sometime later.

[ It's not part of D2's job, but should he talk to her god? Kaya is his friend, so he's on her side rather on the side of a god he doesn't know, at least until he knows the circumstances. ]

Well, take your time to get used to the thought of fighting. [ He feels like he's pretty useless if he can't fight, but he doesn't think he has any other strengths but fighting. ] In the meantime, there are other ways of helping too, surely. Not all prayers involve fighting and probably don't involve ayakashi that much. A lot of the living down over in the Near Shore probably can't even tell they're there. And when you do want to train fighting, even if it's only for trying something or for self-defense, you can ask me and I'll do what I can to help.
fadingsunshine: (it's okay)

[personal profile] fadingsunshine 2017-04-22 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe he forgot or he's saving the explanations for our first prayer? [Not that it justifies anything.]

I know... Thank you for your offer! I'm glad I have friends who know about these stuff that I can count on. And I'm sure you'll become such a cool shinki.
smilingbullet: (JS 7.62)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2017-04-24 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It'd be a bit sudden if he's saving it for a prayer. [ Yup, he definitely needs a talk-to. ]

No problem, I'll help any way I can. As for a cool shinki, I don't know if I'll be that, my vessel form and power don't seem very cool or useful in battle. [ A small animal is not very suitable for direct combat and is definitely not a weapon, and he's got a more support kind of ability. ]
fadingsunshine: (surprise 1)

[personal profile] fadingsunshine 2017-04-25 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
...You know what your vessel and power are like?

[By the tone, it's obvious she doesn't about hers.]
smilingbullet: (GOL Sniper Magnum)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2017-04-26 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I haven't tried them in a fight but I did try them out a little bit. My vessel form is a mongoose.

[ He gets very fluffy. ]

It's cute, but not very useful.

[ He tilts his head in inquiry. ]

Have you not tested that out?
Edited 2017-04-26 21:44 (UTC)
fadingsunshine: (surprise 2)

[personal profile] fadingsunshine 2017-05-01 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
I kind of want to see it. Maybe if the ayakashi is little and snake-shaped it could scare it?

[She shakes her head.] Not yet. I should ask him to transform me so we know.
smilingbullet: (Arisaka)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2017-05-05 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He chuckles. ] Maybe it could. I do have a picture on my phone if you'd like to see it though.

Yeah, you should. It would be pretty good to know that, for both of you.
fadingsunshine: (I see)

[personal profile] fadingsunshine 2017-05-05 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Waaaah! If it's alright then I will!

It's only fair. He showed me his power already anyway and while he says it's enough to protect us both, I want to know how I can help. I'm scared, but kinda curious.
smilingbullet: (Browning A-Bolt)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2017-05-09 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course it is. [ He digs out his phone from his pants and flips through the photos to find the one he's looking for. There's a lot of pictures in there. ]

It would only be fair if he helped you figure out yours too. I'd help you with that if I could but only your god can do that. [ He can help her learn how to fight but not with the vessel form and the powers. (Oh, he found the picture.) ] I don't think you need to be scared, it'll be fine.

Here. [ He offers her the phone to show the picture of a mongoose. ]
fadingsunshine: (happy 1)

[personal profile] fadingsunshine 2017-06-05 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't reply to that. She knows that's what it must be done, but it will be hard to convince Zeno to figure it out with her. At least he seems willing to do prayers soon, so if Kaya was determined to do one, will he start going along with everything else, like powers and vessels?

She takes the phone and checks the photo out. She immediately leaves out a squeal.]


Oh my gosh, it's so cute! Look at its nose and its tiny ears! Eeeeeeeh!

[She then remembers this is supposed to be how D2 looks like in his vessel form, and that she's not supposed to react like that. Even if it's adorable, he's bummed about his lack of usefulness. She blushes.]

I-I'm sorry! I kinda forgot for a minute.
smilingbullet: (Chapina carbine)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2017-06-05 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Surely he would, right? Kaya is cute and pure, so who could deny her things. But if she needed it, D2 would always be willing to help her convince Zeno.

He smiles at her reaction (and in reality “it” is him but it’s not like he’s the type of person to read into things or let it get in and over his head. ]


Oh, you have nothing to be sorry about. I think it’s pretty cute, too.

[ Feeling useless about it aside, he does agree with her. ]
fadingsunshine: (happy 2)

[personal profile] fadingsunshine 2017-06-05 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[She returns the phone, relieved that he's not offended.] Maybe you can distract your enemy with your round eyes! Then your god or you can punch them in the face and win.

[Nevermind that things wouldn't be that easy. Even the snake ayakashi seems more plausible.]
smilingbullet: (Bushmaster BA50 Rifle)

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2017-06-07 12:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It’s not like she was aiming to offend, right? And D2 isn’t that easily offended.

He chuckles, as he pockets the phone again. ]
You think that’d work? It sounds like an interesting strategy.

[ It wouldn’t work, but it’s an amusing thought.
