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~

Well, you're definitely not from this world, then.

[...unless there are dragons here, too, and she just hasn't seen them yet. She blinks in momentary uncertainty.]

What do they look like?

[chronobreak]

Like... dragons?

Big, with wings and reptile-y faces. Four legs. Scaly or slimy looking depending on what kind of dragon.

[skepticstarbuck]

Well, I didn't think dragons were real.

[That sounds like about the same description Scully imagines, though: big, with four legs and two additional wings. Scaly... or slimy?

It probably won't be relevant, she assures herself, and smiles a little weakly.]

I just keep learning things.

[chronobreak]

Nothing wrong with learning new things, right?

[The ocean dragon is probably amphibious, kind of slimy when it's hanging out in the dragon pit.]

Who knows when it'll be useful?

[skepticstarbuck]

Not at all. [She clears her throat.] But I hope I'm never going to have to deal with a dragon.

[chronobreak]

They're really not that bad. It can take a while to get them down. Especially when it's just one person, but that's kind of dumb.

Uh... But it doesn't look like there are any around here.

[skepticstarbuck]

I'd rather not have to fight a dragon, so I'm glad to hear that.

[She sighs, and looks down at the swords again.]

... Although if one does show up, I think I'd rather have a big gun than a sword.

[chronobreak]

You sound like Jinx... a lot more stable than her, but she's always liked guns. Grenades- anything that kept her far back.

[skepticstarbuck]

["A lot more stable than..." doesn't sound like a compliment, but Scully -- after a dubious glance at the young man -- decides she'll take it.]

I'm not planning to go hand-to-hand with monsters any time soon. Especially not big monsters.

[Emulating Saint George is all very well, but Scully likes not being flame-broiled and eaten whole.

Even if she is already dead.]

[chronobreak]

Dragons aren't as bad as you think they are.

[But he's had way more experience around them.]

Team of five can take one down easy enough.

[skepticstarbuck]

That's nice.

[She's still sticking to her own strengths. Dragon hunting just really isn't among them.

She doesn't think, anyway.]
