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~

[Shinki are likely different. A weapon imbued with spiritual force is a greater weapon against a spirit than its mere physics would indicate.]

And yet can you argue that a spirit that has had much of its substance cleaved off is as dangerous a foe as it was to begin?

[skepticstarbuck]

Honestly? I have no idea.

[She's kind of lacking a frame of reference here.

It feels like swords shouldn't even hurt spirits, if they're actually incorporeal, but then she doesn't feel particularly incorporeal herself.

She's also pretty sure she'd need her legs for walking, and that trying to float through a wall would not end well, so who knows?]

[nibelungvalesti]

I presume you have not yet had much opportunity to battle spirits, then. [Curious, but she is becoming used to hearing such. Many of the gods and shinki here have little actual experience battling their sworn foes.]

[skepticstarbuck]

No. I haven't been here for that long.

[And Dana isn't exactly the sort to run off and try to fight monsters, at least, not without a good reason and a weapon in hand. It isn't her field of expertise.]

[nibelungvalesti]

Such battle was a duty of the Valkyrie, as necessary. Spirits fall to the swords and spells of a goddess and her Einjerhar as thoroughly as do corporeal undead or mortal foes. [She speaks with casual assurance, never having reason to question her beliefs.]

[skepticstarbuck]

I might have to ask you for advice after I've seen what we have to do here myself.

[Scully lets out a sigh: is she seriously going to have to learn to fight like a Valkyrie herself? That seems like a long-term goal. She's going to work on figuring out what's going on here first, and worry about fighting later.]

note to self, be less tired when posting

[nibelungvalesti]

[No one can learn to fight like the Valkyrie. But learning to fight like a god is, perhaps, all anyone can ask of them.]

It is clear that today cannot be the extent of training. One day is not enough for the shinki or gods here to master what they must do.

haha, happens to us all! <3

[skepticstarbuck]

It's barely enough to gather what we can do. That's worth learning, though.

[Especially for shinki, who might not have any clue what they can do. Scully nods, slowly, and flickers a quick smile towards the woman.]

Well. I'll leave you to it. I should go work on my borderlines.

[nibelungvalesti]

That, I cannot help with. [Lenneth acknowledges this with a slight nod. One more curiosity she poorly understands, but she can at least accept the fact.] Should you need help in mastering battle, I shall be here. And my temple remains open.

[skepticstarbuck]

Thanks.

[Scully offers her a thoughtful little nod.]

I might have to take you up on that.

[nibelungvalesti]

['Will' have to take her up on that, if she wishes to be a competent warrior. Or at least Lenneth doesn't see other ways it will readily happen.] I may be reached by the devices we have been given, should you so desire.
