[godsoffortune]

Who: Everyone
What: Information and Training
When: July 15
Where: Bishamon's temple, the Far Shore
Summary: Training and informational sessions for newly arrived gods (although there's none this time) and shinki



The product of many meetings and recommendations, at last it has taken shape. On this day, in anticipation of the new arrivals who appear in a recognized pattern, Heaven has partnered with the new gods and shinki to organize a very helpful informational reception.

The shinki arriving at heaven's meeting hall are, should they allow it, guided kindly towards Bishamon's temple. And in that vast complex they are brought to a traditional-style dojo.
Here the newly arrived gods are gathered, so finding their partner is more simple. The gods and shinki are free to take their time during this day to learn about the aspects of their new life from Amaterasu's shinki, or from the many veteran new god and shinki volunteers.




God Training

Bishamon herself, as well as Amaterasu's ever-present shinki and any volunteering gods, will be the foremost source of information regarding being a god and what is expected of them, such as prayers. It is encouraged that gods group up together to practice what they've learned and discuss their ideologies.
Newly arrived gods are still expected to communicate to their shinki the information* they themselves get oriented with when they arrive.

Shinki Training

Various volunteers are stationed around the building, passing out helpful informational pamphlets. There are many shinki, including Bishamon's and Amaterasu's, who will be more than happy to train in using the borderline and some of the basics of what is expected of a shinki. It is encouraged that shinki group up together to practice what they've learned and discuss their ideologies.
Bishamon's lead shinki Kazuma offers a lecture to new arrivals that will thoroughly cover some essential points about teamwork with both shinki and other gods.

Physical Training

The dojo is stocked with a wide variety of practice weapons, traditional and modern. There are volunteers here as well, willing to assist in basic training. (Or even more advanced sparring, depending on the volunteer.) Essential for gods who, for example, find themselves with a sword shinki but are at risk of cutting off their own toes.
Also useful for veteran new gods wishing to train with their current partner shinki.

Rest and Refreshments

There is a garden off the dojo that is free to be used for rest and conversation.
Should anyone wander outside the designated area, some shinki of Bishamon's will attach themselves to them and not leave them be until they return to the dojo.

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 just taking a quick break to cool down. Even hand towels are provided by Bishamon's helpful shinki. The Heavens wants everyone to stay in good condition!

In Summary:

• Get all the information you can handle
• Veteran new gods and shinki are welcome to volunteer showing the ropes
• Get in some training
• Don't get dehydrated
• Spectate if you want
• Have fun~

Mmmphh??

[ Goku nearly chokes on his food when the girl yells at him. He drops the sandwich like it's on fire. He coughs and coughs to clear his throat. Yikes! ]

S--sorry! I didn't know.

[mermaiding]

Oh. [She looks actually surprised and rests her hands on her hips, eyeing him]

...Did not expect to actually drop. [Usually people just ignore her yelling by this point, but sh reaches for one of the bottled energy drinks to shove at him as he coughs] Ack, but do not die! They will blame me! [Maybe. Either way she doesn't want to deal with it.]

[solaris9]

[ She looks surprised, which in turn surprises Goku. If he thought someone was stealing his food, he'd be glad when they dropped it so he could have it. Maybe she didn't really want the sandwich? (Does this mean he can have it?) But he doesn't reach for it again. Instead, he takes the offered bottle. ]

Uh...thanks!

[ He opens the bottle and drinks from it. Much better. He grins at her. ]

I'm actually already dead, I think. But I guess I could die again. Hehe. I don't feel like I really died the first time, though.

[ Besides, he can't die with food stuck in his throat. How embarrassing! ...and wasteful of a perfectly good sandwich. ]

[mermaiding]

[She waits long enough to make sure he's drinking it and not about to choke to death, nodding in satisfaction before she takes the sandwich he dropped, shoving half in her mouth as she eyes him.]

Are shinki, then? New? [It's a safe assumption to make, she supposes, as she looks around and takes note of the really unfamiliar faces.] Ahh, so soon? Seems new were arriving only yesterday.

[solaris9]

Uh huh.

[ Sandwich girl has a healthy appetite, which Goku knows all about. He grins as he watches her stuff food into her mouth. ]

What about you? It's kinda funny being dead and all. Like how come we still get hungry?
