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~

[chronobreak]

Yep. [Like time travel is completely normal. But hey, he doesn't know this lady that well and he'd rather keep that to his chest.]

I can fight, but as for the whole godhood thing? Nope. Brand new to me.

[nibelungvalesti]

If you can fight, that is at least something... though mortal skills will be hard put to stand up to enemies worthy of striving with the gods. [She shakes her head, a slight motion that her long braid amplifies dramatically as it swings by her ankles. Her irritation is not for him, but for this whole bizarre system.]

[chronobreak]

Gonna complain about it, or are you planning on teaching?

[He's not opposed to learning from somebody who's actually got experience. Most of his was racked up in back alleys.]

[nibelungvalesti]

I do not know if the mantle of Osiris is one of a teacher... nor do I particularly care. My duty as the Chooser of the Slain is to train the deceased mortals I take under my wing into gods suited to stand among the warriors of the Aesir.

Most here would have been unworthy of being chosen. [She does not said this cruelly, nor with contempt. It is a matter-of-fact statement, cold and starkly honest.] But they have been chosen, and so I will train them.

[chronobreak]

I'm not dead yet. I hear half of the people here aren't dead yet.

Great. I can fight but not totally sure what we're fighting here. Ayakashi? I think is what they said.

[nibelungvalesti]

Yes... elevating mortals to godhood without them dying and being properly trained does appear to be a major flaw. [To put it mildly, and rather bluntly.] Still, that is no excuse for slacking off. The ayakashi are our enemies, and you must be able to defeat them.

[chronobreak]

Your world is weird. [Just as blunt.]

Not planning on losing to some monsters anytime soon.

[nibelungvalesti]

Then what do you believe awaits humankind after death? [Lenneth tilts her head slightly, faint hints of curiosity on her face. This touches on her own domain, after all.]

[chronobreak]

Nothing. You're life's your life and when it's over, you're over.

[nibelungvalesti]

That is a very depressing outlook... and one that is untrue. [She's not trying to spit on his beliefs or anything, but hey: she's the goddess in charge of dispositions in the afterlife, it's hard to to disprove it any more bluntly than that.]

[chronobreak]

Depends on where you're from.

[He doesn't know any gods of the afterlife running around in Runeterra.]

[nibelungvalesti]

Wherever that might be, we are here now, and called upon to the duties we have been assigned. [Arguing theology and cosmology has little purpose in the face of greater concerns.]

[chronobreak]

I figure time just happens, but if it needs a guard... I was a terrible choice.

[He sure does exploit time for his own purposes- a lot. Most of the time, actually.]

[nibelungvalesti]

It is not up to you to dictate the choices that were made. Rather, it is up to you to make the most of what you have become.

[Simple, straightforward, logical. No looking back, merely continuing on, in the Valkyrie's eyes.]
