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~

That stupid kappa told me, byon. [Ken huffs.] He said I should always call Axel-sama Hestia to people, or he might get in trouble...so you could too, right?

[He makes a face at the idea of getting along with Chikusa.] He's boring, byon. And he keeps telling me all this stupid stuff. [Like facts and vital information and stuff Ken shouldn't do. Truly, Ken is oppressed.]

[pineapplet]

Kappa... [The fact that he stills calls him that, at least, brings an amused, fond smile to Chrome's face again.] I've ever heard of such a thing, honestly. But I don't mind. I can handle trouble.

[Oh boy. She's really trying not to laugh at him] It might be stupid, but... It's also probably some things you should remember. He's a good guy, you'd do well to stick by him. [Is this cheating? It feels a little like cheating, encouraging this friendship]

[junkyarddog]

You? [Ken blinks at her disbelievingly.] But...you're a girl, byon.

[Smack him on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper, Chrome. Ken's not had much exposure to the fairer sex, and what exposure he has had has all been forgotten. It's hard to tell if he's already forgotten the fact that she's a god - despite it being the main topic of their conversation - he's just not considering what that means, if he assumes that it's irrelevant compared to a threat that jeopardizes gods in any case, or if he's just not thinking much period. It could be any or several of the above, with Ken.

At Chrome's gentle prodding that he should stick with Chikusa, Ken positively whines.] Do I have to? [He's treating it like an order even though it was a mere suggestion.]

[pineapplet]

[Jesus christ Ken. She looks down at her dress and her skirt. She looks up at Ken.] ...Yes. [Good job, gold star, who wants a treat.

But his definitely-a-whine makes her smile again.] Yes. I'm afraid you do. [Well okay she'll make it more like an order if that's what it'll take.] I'm sure you'll come to enjoy his company too.

[junkyarddog]

So even girl gods are really strong, byon? [As sexist as Ken's being, it's coming from a place of genuine ignorance. Chrome will know that even before he lost his memories, his association with girls was almost solely through herself and M.M., which was an interesting education. But before them, he'd barely so much as talked to a girl since the Estraneo experiments; it wasn't as if his life with Mukuro and Chikusa offered a lot of opportunities for socializing. (Or like most girls would be interested in being anywhere near a feral dogchild who only bathes when yelled at to do so.) Now, he doesn't even remember the two dangerous, powerful women he knew personally.

As for Chikusa...it's hard not to be willing to put up with the guy, however boring and annoying he might be, when a cute girl smiles at Ken and asks him to make friends with him. Ken's starting to turn red again.] What, you like him or something, byon? [There's a mixture of huffiness and jealousy in the inquiry.]

[pineapplet]

[Ken, for fuck's sake. Chrome makes a strangled noise and covers her mouth, but it's too late. She begins to laugh-- it's just such a Ken thing to say, she can't help but feel relieved. She'll leave the question alone without answering though--he'll find out ho strong the female gods are sooner or later, and hopefully not in a painful manner.

The question makes her smile warmly again as her laughter subsides.] ...It's not like that, but I like Chikusa too, just as I like you. So, because I like you both, I would like it for you to get along.
