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~

If he doesn't say hello, then you gotta say hello! Some people are just shy!

[Sakon, in a similar position, would probably have talked the poor guy's ear off whether any sort of response was forthcoming or not.]

[sitarsongs]

For being shy, he sure knows a lot of people. You have to talk to people to make friends, y'know.

[ But they all say the same thing, don't they?

Still, Demyx's expression turns a little wry. ]

So is that what happened with your god? Well, maybe not this one, because you're new to her, right? But... yeah.

[ittenbari]

Hm? Nagisa was a bigger chatterbox than I am.

[Which is saying something.]

As for, uh, Vesta, she's kinda a quiet one sometimes, yeah, so I keep at it! It just takes time with some people, that's all.

[He doesn't have much experience to go on, sure, but it seems to be working for him so far.]

[sitarsongs]

[ He called himself a chatterbox. Adorable. Also, relatable. Not to mention, he’d love to meet someone who talks more than Sakon! ]

You keep talking to her? Like, even if she doesn’t say anything?

Wow, that’s some crazy persistence!

[ Demyx would be quicker to take it personally. (For someone who has no ‘feelings’ per se, his sure appear to get hurt awfully easily...) ]

[ittenbari]

Yeah! I'm sure it's just because she keeps a lot to herself! I mean, not like Hibari who threatens to kill me every time I talk to him. It's too bad he didn't stick around...

[Those two things don't seem like they should go together, but in Sakon's head, they apparently do...]

[sitarsongs]

Whoa, you had a guy who threatened to kill you just for talking? That's rude!

[ That should be familiar to Demyx, but... nope! Drawing a blank, here. But he'd definitely want to be away from that person, for sure! ]

Wait -- you wanted him to stay?!

[ittenbari]

Yeah! I mean, he was just kinda grumpy that's all. It was kind of cute.

[One wonders about Sakon's self-preservation instincts.]

[sitarsongs]

[ Apparently he doesn't have many... ]

Grumpy's one thing... but trying to kill you?!

[ Sakon, please don't get yourself killed. ]

[ittenbari]

Well, it's not like he managed to do it!

[So that makes it okay, apparently.]

[sitarsongs]

Still! [ Demyx winces visibly and waves his hands in front of him. ]

Man, I dunno how you managed! I'm not comfortable being around someone like that, even if they don't kill me! The threat's enough!

[ Besides, they say it's 'make love, not war'! Right? ]
