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~

[Ken growls - or whines; the sound is so precisely in between the two that it's hard to call it one way or the other - and lifts his hands to dig his nails into Hibari's gripping arm. However, since he hasn't put a cartridge in at the moment, this is a lot less damaging than it could be - although his grip is still no joke.] It was just a table, byon! You're strong, it's not like it was actually gonna hit you. [Or slow Hibari down much if it did. Ken's instinctively sure of that much; getting hit by a thrown table, assuming Hibari failed to dodge it in the first place, would be only a minor inconvenience to him. There's no way something that mundane could put a guy like this down for the count.

In essence, Ken's indicating that he was still playing, too. But clearly he's got a very high threshold for roughhousing...that, or he'd appreciated Hibari's strength enough to set the bar pretty high for what could still be interpreted as a merely playful threat. Most likely it was a combination of the two.]

[Hibari showed no signs that the grip actually affected him at all, just ground his hand in a little harder before actually letting go, shaking off Ken's hand in the process. He couldn't deny that what Ken had told him made him more than a little proud, especially when it came from someone so animalistic in his own tendencies. Those people tended not to put on grandiose facades.

So, his body posture was a little more 'fluffed out' from before as he took a step or two back from Ken.] Well at least you get it. But if you ever trick me like that again, I will bite you to death permenantly.

[junkyarddog]

[Ken huffs as he reaches up to ruffle his hair back into its proper state of disorder, possibly also making sure it's all still there as he does so.] Fight me normally and I won't have to do stuff like that, byon. [By which he means 'don't surround me with huge spike balls while on fire', a request he considers perfectly reasonable.]

[disciplineking]

[Well now he was making a dumb pouty face too, Ken. He WAS fighting normally, even if Ken grooming his own hair was kind of cute. Hibari was almost tempted to see if his animalistic tendencies reached being petted as well, though he was loathe to try and actually touch someone.]

That was normal. You're just being a coward.

[junkyarddog]

I can't get in too much trouble, byon. [Ken can't quite look Hibari in the eye when he says this, because he knows that Hibari is right. He'd chickened out. Under other circumstances, he would've rushed Hibari despite all that weird stuff. And maybe he had good reason for being a little more circumspect, but it's not something that comes naturally to him, and he's certainly not proud of it.] I don't wanna cause problems for my god. And you looked like a lot of trouble.

[All of these things are entirely fair.]

Chikusa says we can still die here, and it won't be good for Hestia if I die, byon.

[disciplineking]

[Hibari's face soured at the mention of Chikusa-of COURSE he knew this kid. Their uniforms were similar and it was just his luck.]

You can die here and it doesn't affect the gods at all. All you get is another wiped memory and people feeling sorry for you. Don't believe what that bastard says about gods. They're all bags of rotten flesh.

[At least Ken was right about him being trouble, though.]

[junkyarddog]

Not Axel-sama! [Ken immediately bristles, baring his teeth.] Axel-sama's nice, byon! He takes care of us! We wouldn't have anywhere to be without Axel-sama!

[He subsides a tiny bit after this outburst, huffing angrily through his nose.] And I don't wanna lose any more memories. Chikusa's enough of a jerk about knowing more than me already, byon.
