May Training

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~

[Oh right, they said something about the near shore and far shore. It was still a lot for her to take in. Seeing it might help, just like with the ayakashi.]

Great! Let's go.

[It doesn't take him very long to teleport them down. And it only takes him a few moments to grab a tiny rat like ayakashi by the tail. It seems to have eyes all up and down its back.]

This is a small ayakashi. I'm going to drop it and then you'll make a line.

Ready?
redmare: (gtf away)

[personal profile] redmare 2017-05-18 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[But she was already far away hiding behind a tree]

DON'T DROP IT! DON'T YOU DARE!

[She didn't think it'd look THAT revolting. She could feel her skin crawling and her stomach churning]
fullcowl: (083)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-18 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Good grief. At least his partner has the stomach for this kind of weirdness.]

Do you want to make a borderline? Use that feeling.
redmare: (horrified)

[personal profile] redmare 2017-05-18 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Wait--you're not gonna let it loose are you?!

[She wasn't mentally ready for this! ]
fullcowl: (070)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-18 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Draw the line.

[He's not.]
redmare: (ugh)

[personal profile] redmare 2017-05-18 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh my god he's gonna drop it! ]

L-LINE! LINE!

[She continued striking her hand against the air, but nothing was coming of it. She gritted her teeth, feeling more anxious and frustrated. Why wasn't it working?!]

fullcowl: (067)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-18 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Shouto got this faster, but fighting is etched into his bones.]

What are you thinking of when you're drawing it? How much you want to keep it away? Or are you thinking about something else?
redmare: (gtf away)

[personal profile] redmare 2017-05-18 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
I'M THINKING THAT I WANT TO STRANGLE YOU, THAT'S WHAT!

[She didn't really mean that. Maybe 60% of that.

She continued her attempts, but even when it seemed like something was about to appear, it didn't fully form]
fullcowl: (Default)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-18 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[This whole time and he still hasn't dropped the rat even with the way it's struggling.]

That's why.

Focus on the line you're trying to make and how much you don't want it to get close to you.
redmare: (shocked)

[personal profile] redmare 2017-05-18 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Even if he hadn't moved, Chinatsu couldn't help but think that he was going to drop it any moment now. Squeezing her eyes shut, she tried to imagine a line. Keeping the visual in mind, she swiped her fingers one more time.]

LINE!

[Taking a peek with one eye, she noticed the ground in front of her glowing. Opening both eyes now, she found a steady glowing line of light, reaching upwards like wall.]

D..Did I do it..?
fullcowl: (007)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-18 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now he'll drop the rat, who rams its face against the borderline, but can't actually get through.]

You did it. Good job.
redmare: (ugh)

[personal profile] redmare 2017-05-18 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
EEK!

[She still backs away when the rat comes running, but like he said, it couldn't get passed the border. She felt rather proud of herself, and she did smile a little at his praise.]

....But then what? Isn't it just going to keep coming at me? Am I supposed to just leave it there?

[It didn't sit right with her that that thing was on the loose]
fullcowl: (060)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-18 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't bring Todoroki or Demyx with me. Only a god and their shinki working together can properly destroy an ayakashi. So...

... I guess I could bring it to the temple and get rid of it there.

redmare: (disgusting)

[personal profile] redmare 2017-05-18 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh is that so-- You want to bring it back with us?!

[She glanced warily at the thing. Would she ever be as call as him about it? Speaking of which]

By the way....who are you?
fullcowl: (062)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-18 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't want to leave it here.

[Izuku's very nervous about a lot of things, but ayakashi are simple things to fight.]

I'm Midoriya Izuku. I'm also filling in for Aidos.
redmare: (sigh)

[personal profile] redmare 2017-05-18 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[True..Ugh, she'll just have to suck it up]

Who's Aidos?
fullcowl: (142)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-18 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
The Greek goddess of shame, modesty and humility.

... I know I'm not a girl, that's just who I was assigned to.
redmare: (ugh)

[personal profile] redmare 2017-05-18 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
So? Either way that's pretty cool----

[Her eyes widened as she stared at him]

You're a god?!

[Her face paled, realizing how rude she's been to him]
fullcowl: (040)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-19 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
That's right. It's why I can't make a borderline.

[He does notice how she looks though.]

... I'm not overly insulted or anything.
redmare: (ugh)

[personal profile] redmare 2017-05-19 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[This guy was too nice..]

Are..you my god?

[Man that would've made it even more embarrassing.]
fullcowl: (074)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-19 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's... nothing telling him that he is.]

I'm not, sorry.
redmare: (pout)

[personal profile] redmare 2017-05-19 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.....Ah, I'm Chinatsu Hiyama, by the way. Thanks, for uh..helping me out.
fullcowl: (040)
