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~

Judges with opposing views….

[It’s the only solution. And also he’s lazy.]

Just training to exhaustion isn’t destroying yourself… [Taking dynamite to the face and still fighting is destroying yourself.] I’m just saying… It’s better to conserve your energy to spar with a variety of people…. At least for an event like this…

[redotiertwo]

Then make them fight to the death over which one they use to crown the gold.

[Obviously the best solution to that problem. It's this example's version of the looking into the box part of the Schrodinger allusion, except fights to the death are much more interesting.]

That's a thing people would argue, but yeah, might as well shop around when the going's this good, unless someone's planning to open a speed-sparring service anytime soon.

[kokuyoyo]

….Yeah, sounds good.

[Nice that they can agree on that much. Besides, not only would this hypothetical fight to the death be more entertaining, it would neatly solve the issue at hand. Fuck Schrodinger’s win, anyway.]

If the Heavens had any sense of coordination to them…. They’d be the obvious source for starting that kind of thing. But I think we’d die a second time before they could manage something even that simple…

[redotiertwo]

[A Schrodinger's win isn't a real win, clearly. The only true win is when you pry the gold out of your opponent's cold dead hands.

Or at least that's Davesprite's argument for the purposes of this conversation.]

I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of people trying to sort that kind of shit out themselves, or at least offer themselves out for training, but yeah, the Heavens probably should've gotten on this a couple of months sooner than they did.

[kokuyoyo]

It's a bit harder for those on our side of things.... Since there's no telling when anyone will disappear.

[So. Hard to keep long term things going like that.]

[redotiertwo]

Yeah, not much you can do if the person you're planning to do training with up and disappears while you're looking the other way.

[There seem to be some people who've remained here a while who'd probably be better bets, but other than that it's kind of a crapshoot.]

[kokuyoyo]

We can realize that easily enough.

[Removing his glasses, he tugs his hat a little further down until his eyes are covered. Is he going to nap right here? Maybe.]

So that they haven't thought of this much...

[redotiertwo]

How much does anyone really think about anything here, though. [It's not really a question at this point, mostly Davesprite just pointing out the obvious.

Chikusa definitely looks like he's angling himself towards napland, though, so Davesprite shuffles back a bit in preparation for probably having to move on.]
