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~

[CONSTANT VIGILANCE]

[Carefully, aware of its sharp edges, he picks up a shuriken to get a better look at it. They’re things he’s heard about, but never really handled.]

Shrine water… You could use that, couldn’t you?

[kagenonadeshiko]

That could work.

[It heals blight so it makes sense that it could be a potential poison as well.]

I suppose I'll have to start carrying some on me.

[Really, she should have thought of that sooner. Ayumu studies him thoughtfully a moment, taking in Chikusa's mindfulness of the edges. Very good.]

I spoke to Hakkai-san earlier today. Those things I said I was thinking about teaching you before, well, I've decided to start training pupils at his school. In exchange for the space, I'll be assisting him with the cleaning and upkeep of the grounds. It may be a good opportunity for you to learn a great deal.

[Not just about ninjutsu but domestic duties as well.]

[kokuyoyo]

[That immediately gets the lethargic teenager's attention, looking away from the shuriken.]

I'm already going there to learn household budgeting from him.... so I can make it.

When do you plan on starting...?

[kagenonadeshiko]

Soon. Probably within the next few weeks. I'll be going shopping soon to look for materials I'll need. It'll take me a little while to get the classroom set up but once I'm ready, I'll contact you about starting lessons.

[Of course, she also needs to do a little scouting, too, to see who else might be interested in the training she has to offer and plan accordingly.]

But I wouldn't object to assistance setting everything up if you're willing to pitch in.

[kokuyoyo]

[The suggestion of helping has him start to shake his head.]

Axel-sama needs... [But then he trails off quietly, before reaching up to adjust his glasses.] ...maybe...

[kagenonadeshiko]

Axel needs what?

[It's an honest question and she looks at him with a touch of sisterly concern and affection.]

Does he have a task for you, Kakimoto-san?

[Knowing Axel (and Chikusa, too, the more time she spends with him), she suspects the answer's 'no' but it can't hurt to ask.]

[kokuyoyo]

Not.... explicitly...

[Ayumu already has the two of them pegged down completely. With Axel, indeed, this isn't much of a surprise. Of course he wouldn't really be ordering Chikusa around much- everything the teenager does, it's of his own accord.]

I wanted to be on hand for him.... But I suppose that's unnecessary now....

[It's not explicit, but with the focus he's now giving the shuriken, there's definitely a hint he's not happy with what's behind that statement.]
