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~

[He suppresses a small chuckle, opting for an amused smirk instead.]

Very well, though the offer still stands.

[Time for a topic change, then. Perhaps that'll put Sawada at ease.]

What about your shinki, then? What can you tell me about them?

[goeshyper]

[Tsuna's happy for the topic change. The last thing he wants to think about is training! The topic about his new shinki does perk him up a bit.]

Um...well I only met him today, but he seems cool so far. He possess a lot of energy, despite being a bit nervous about meeting me at first.

We're still working out some kinks with how to work together, but I think we'll be fine.

[Tsuna was very nervous about meeting his shinki too, but now he feels very good about it. He's grateful he has someone who he can easily talk to and work well with.]

[mostsuitable]

Excellent news, then. Always nice to hear of others working and getting along well with each other.

[Hmm, but going by how Sawada had responded being called over, Reisi would've thought the god has been around for some time, prompting him to ask...]

Though if I might ask, you only met your shinki today?

[Did he not have another one?]

[goeshyper]

[Tsuna is not surprised that Munakata would ask him such a question. He admits that it is kind of weird, especially with how important shinki are to gods.]

Yeah, when I first arrived, I didn't have a shinki. So there wasn't much I can do, but wait for me to be assigned to one. I guess there's not enough to go around, shinki are really sought after.

[mostsuitable]

[That is Munakata's line of thinking.

He indicates his understanding with a small, firm nod.]

How long has it been since your arrival?

[To think there's such an imbalance in the Heavens...]

[goeshyper]

Um....just a month or so...maybe even two months.

[So it's really a short amount of time, but the days have been going pretty fast!]

During that time, I've just trying to figure out how to take care of my shinki. You know, so I can be a little prepared. Though I think I was making it a lot bigger than it was. It's a very smooth transition.

How about you? Have you met your god yet? [ Tsuna eats a bit more of his sandwich. Even if he didn't do well in his training, he still works up an appetite.]

[mostsuitable]

[Earlier, Munakata had been concerned about what his god might be like, if he's a righteous one with a pure cause. Thankfully, that was sorted out rather quickly. Considering Sawada's words, though, Reisi wonders if he's making it much bigger than it really is.

But that's not really important to mention.]

Yes, I have. [And he approves of Kurosaki.] It seems we have similar goals and may be able to get along.

[goeshyper]

That's good!

[He manages a smile, geniunely happy for Munakata. For the most part he has heard that gods and their shinki tend to get along. However there are a few cases where they don't. Maybe that's what Tsuna was afraid of.]

I've always had trouble making friends, so I was really nervous about the match up. Though I am curious of how the Heavens are making these selections.

[mostsuitable]

[Reisi has considered that some shinki and god match-ups may be less than ideal if not perhaps completely incompatible. If that were the case with the god he'd been assigned to, Reisi would've immediately demanded requested a change.]

Then it appears they've been considerate to the both of us.

[But on that last note, is there any reason one might question the match-ups?]

To your knowledge, have there been any ill-suited arrangements in the past?
