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~

Well, with Hana-san, I think I was just borrowing her until Hibari showed up?

[To be honest, he's still not sure why he was asked to send her back, although he is grateful he didn't have to deal with Hibari's reaction to being a shinki and not being the only one all at once.]

And then Hibari...Hi-kun's very territorial and already didn't like me very much, so he decided he wanted to leave after Eric showed up and I made it clear I wasn't going to just abandon him.

[solaris9]

[ That's weird. He's not sure who 'Hibari' is, but why wouldn't he like Ren? He's a pretty nice guy, in Goku's opinion. ]

Maybe he just didn't wanna have a team. But I think it's fun with more people. What's Eric like? Is he strong?

[ Maybe they can spar? ]

[shadowrevenger]

[Thankfully, it's not only Ren he doesn't like. It's pretty much everyone. So Goku is definitely not off the mark there.]

No, I don't think he did. So I think we're both a little happier now.

[Shrug. He is, anyway. And he's definitely happier to tak about his current shinki who is far more stable than the last.]

He's quiet and a little standoffish sometimes, but he's a good person at heart. Actually, he just rescued a puppy the other day. And he's definitely strong. I think if you can convince him it's worth he, you guys could be really good training partners.

[Look, there's only one reason he'd be asking that question about someone, and he knows perfectly well Goku likes fighting, so of course he's going to assume that's Goku's reason too.]

[solaris9]

Oooh. He sounds cool.

[ He smiles warmly. Standoffish people don't scare Goku. Especially ones that are good at heart, which he optimistically thinks is most people, anyway. At least, most people have some good parts in them, even if they have some bad. ]

Are we all gonna live together then? [ He's excited to see the house and kitchen. ]

[shadowrevenger]

Yep! I think he's pretty cool too.

[Ren give him a bright smiles back, and his phone is practically out of his pocket before Goku even finishes that question. It's just...really refreshing to have someone who's so eager to work with him right off the bat.]

Yes! There's plenty of room for all of us--oh, here it is--

[He flips his phone around so goku can see the picture of the very castle-inspired building he just pulled up.,/small>]

[solaris9]

[ Goku leans in to take a look at the screen. ]

Ooooh. It looks like a castle! That's your house? How did you find it?

[ Or build it himself? He's not sure how these things go. But he's very excited to be living there, either way. ]
