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~

[She starts to lower closer to the ground again, starting to get a little exhausted and Nimbus sensing that because of how she's breathing, but she's also laughing at his... compliment? She's pretty sure that was a compliment.]

I'm glad! Because I was worried when I hit you. You're really tough though, huh Davesprite?

[She really wants to shorten his name somehow but maybe later when they know each other better.]

I've never tried more than one at a time like that before. I'm just glad it worked!

I like to think my impeccable veneer of upstanding birditude serves as an extra layer between me and the outside world. [Which it...kind of does, just not in the physical sense, given the only veneer of upstanding birditude he's maintaining in any sense is the one where he's pretending not to be a complete mess.

For the moment, Davesprite just skims through the sky after her, a little higher than her cloud is floating. He usually reserves unexpected stabbings for outside friendly practice.]


Worked like fuck. You should probably add that to your repertoire.
pure_radiantics: (convo] happy smiling blush)

Wow, really?

[His language... she wonders if she'll ever get used to it.]

In that case... [She nods.] I definitely will, if you think it worked so well!

[She smiles up at him though.]

Your... veneer of birtitude is definitely outstanding!

[Because she's thinking of his wings, which is why she misunderstands which word he used on purpose.]

Maybe I should get a glass of water before I try to go against you again, though.
redotiertwo: (alright what the fuck)

I mean, punching someone in the face is always a good option to have in a pinch, and that was basically punching someone in the face without the punching. [Maybe not the most ideal use of a borderline, but it could definitely serve her well in situations where the ideal use isn't available or isn't that effective.

With a brief thumbs-up to Kairi's agreement on his outstanding birdosity, Davesprite skims down towards the ground and lands on his half-curled tail, sheathing his sword back into his stomach as he does so.]


Go ahead. Doesn't make much of a practice if I'm knocking around someone's dehydrated husk.
pure_radiantics: (convo] huh. interesting.)

.... Oh, you know, that's a good point. I didn't think of it like that.

[Considering she didn't hit herself with the attack, it makes sense that someone else could see it in a different light.]

It's a weird kind of practice for me, but... it's interesting too.

[And she watches him sheathe his sword, looking for any hint of pain as he does so. Without any, that alleviates some of her concerns, just not all of them.]

Do you... often get to practice with your sword? High in the air or not?

[Seems like a more polite way to go about her curiosity.]
redotiertwo: (attention gained)

[personal profile] redotiertwo 2017-04-11 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
That's how practice is supposed to be. Not much point if you're just fucking around doing the same shit you've done seven hundred times before.

[There's a rather casual shrug from Davesprite in tandem with that comment. Even though he hasn't had much chance to practice for real here, that's just his attitude on it - if it's not dynamic and keeping you on your toes, then it's not doing anything for you.

At the question, Davesprite flicks a thumb over the handle of the sword.]


Haven't gotten much chance to fight other people, but I've been doing the whole beating up logs and sad sacks of sand thing since it turned up.
