June Intro/Training Log

Who: Everyone
What: Information and Training
When: July 26
Where: Bishamon's temple, the Far Shore
Summary: Training and informational sessions for newly arrived gods 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.




Divine Bureaucracy

    Wasn't it the newly revamped Shinki Agency's job to assign shinki this time... They thought it was the original team of Amaterasu's shinki's job this one last time before Shinki Agency took over the responsibility. Needless to say, when the shinki wake up at the Meeting Hall, there's a lot of shouting. Eventually, one of the Shinki Agency representatives herds the new shinki together and instructs them to please all go to Bishamonten's temple for the time being and they will send a runner with the god-shinki assignments as soon as they can.

    New gods and old gods alike will not be notified that there is a mix-up unless they come to Bishamon's temple for Training, until the Shinki Agency can figure out what happened.

    Important addendum: For this round, gods still have a vision of how their shinki died, however they can't make out any details, particularly about who they saw die.
    Once a shinki of the Agency gives the god the name of their shinki, the god is then able to find them by name. Once they give their shinki a vessel name the god will have the full vision of how their shinki died.

    This addition comes in response to some questions and need for clarification. Apologies and thank you for your input.


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:
  • New characters are welcome to ask old characters if this mix-up is common (spoilers: it's not)
  • New Shinki: Get all the information you can handle from the pamphlets provided (links above and see FAQ)
  • New Gods: take what information you can from Amaterasu's shinki (see FAQ) while waiting to find out if you've been assigned a shinki
  • Veteran gods and shinki are welcome to volunteer showing the ropes
  • Get in some training
  • Don't get dehydrated
  • Spectate if you want

[Izuku's here in passing and... frowns a little bit? What did he just hear?]

Don't do anything illegal.

I mean, I know the people on the Near Shore can't really see us without a lot of effort, but there's no reason to break laws if they don't need to be broken.

[Ring ring ring- she seems to have gotten another Far Shore resident?!

The boy that answers is sweet-voiced, if somewhat worried.]


This is Aidos or Midoriya Izuku. Is everything alright? Do you need anything?

[Before he has a chance to stop it, his smirk softens a little into a smile. He tilts his head to hide it a bit.]

Such a sap.

[But he liked the words. He liked the way Shion's answer made him feel, all the same. He hadn't wanted Shion to change, and now Shion was given a second chance. He might not have to witness those same horrors.

But that didn't mean he wanted Shion to remain defenseless. When he looked back at Shion, the smile was gone.]


Shion.

[He said the name as if it was first time saying it, even though the name formed so easily from his lips. Even though he had spoken that name many times before. He hid the soft familiarity from his voice. He really should go.

He smirked lightly again.]


Don't let me catch you so defenseless again. I might not go as easy on you next time.

[That should be enough.]

[ It'll take time, but Botan knows that the young woman would be able to believe in herself more. Looks like she'll be need some help with that confidence. ]

If that's what you want, then I'm sure we'll be wonderful friends. I suppose the next part is just coming up with a name.

[ Though she'd feel bad if she knew the kind of deaths that Jennifer would have to see today because of her and Diana's assignment. ]
bearpuns: (:D!)

So sensei IS here! [ Teddie seems REALLY excited about that, but at the mention of Nanako, he seems to sparkle. ]

And Nana-chan?! This is the best day ever!

[ Teddie gives Kanji a big smile. ]

But what's this about remembearing?
bearpuns: (calm)

[personal profile] bearpuns 2017-06-20 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
You too Garry! How long have you been here?
bearpuns: (smiles)

[personal profile] bearpuns 2017-06-20 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pawsitive, you're absbearlutely radiant!

[ This friendship tho. ]
bearpuns: (besties)

[personal profile] bearpuns 2017-06-20 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Teddie! That's my name. I don't mind being called Ted, but since I'm a simple bear, you can call me either!

[ He smiles. ]

No boring clubs around here!
bearpuns: (smiles)

[personal profile] bearpuns 2017-06-20 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know! I've met with one, but he said the others were here too!
bearpuns: (Default)

I apologize for everything he's going to do.

[personal profile] bearpuns 2017-06-20 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ A dramatic gasp. ]

Are you asking me on a date? Then I accept!!
bearpuns: (besties)

[personal profile] bearpuns 2017-06-20 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Teddie smiled and scooped her up in a hug. It's warm, and after all the mess with Naoto, he's happy she remembers him. ]

Don't worry, Detective Nana-chan! We can practice together!
bearpuns: (smiles)

[personal profile] bearpuns 2017-06-20 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
I do! It's really boring...plus what's this god stuff? It doesn't make any sense...

( What the heck! Urashima isn't letting go. It's not like he's trying to start something... he hadn't been thinking when he reached out and now that he's got him he can't just let go?! He looks up at the donut and at then at Chikusa, )

You already took a bunch! I only had one!
minogame: (pic#10820734)

[personal profile] minogame 2017-06-20 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh, Himechan?

( He glances over at his shoulder and the turtle in question opens her mouth in a yawn and flicks her fluffy tail once. )

Hmm... I think she'll be okay. ( Another tail flick. ) I've been practicing all day with her, at least...

[personal profile] nibelungvalesti 2017-06-20 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I train in battle. [The Valkyrie has no aptitude for magic, though she is capable of training mages in combat. Had she met any. 'Self-defense', she assumes, is battle without weapons...] The ayakashi are not to be touched. If you do not have experience, you would be well-advised to learn a weapon.
nibelungvalesti: (angry look)

[personal profile] nibelungvalesti 2017-06-20 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[The Valkyrie takes note of such things dispassionately, already putting together a plan in her head.] It is poor performance on the part of the Far Shore to assign shinki who cannot fight, but that reflect on them rather than you. I dislike the use of practice weapons here, but to learn from the beginning you would be well-advised to select one.

[Really there's no way to tell. They're too new. It will take sometime to gather more information then was given to them at the start. As much as Kirie hates waiting, she doesn't have much of a choice.

The chuckle makes her brows raise a bit. Someone is also confident in their abilities.]


When things settled down, I wouldn't mind testing that.

[It's said with a slight smirk]

It's good to know what another person is capable of if you plan on possibly working together.

[Hitsugaya seems decent enough. By far one of the only ones she's found with an experience. Death cooties aside.]

That's fair. I'll see what I can gather with this dumb mix up going on. Best of luck.
sogetsu: (▌024 ▌)

[personal profile] sogetsu 2017-06-20 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[DONT BE RUDE. Kirie's eyes narrow at him as she grips the weapon tighter, resisting the urge to hit him upside the head with it]

Both.
priforprince: (lording)

[personal profile] priforprince 2017-06-20 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hibiki shrugs. How they ended up on this distasteful topic, she really can't fathom. ]

In any case, they won't be an issue for long.

[ once her pure wild dance has concluded ]
lostinshadows: ([08] Stars arising)

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-06-20 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Any of the gods catch you attention?

[He places the umbrella and the chair down before he crosses his arms, observing the gods briefly. There's a lot of newcomers again, new gods he's yet to meet, but he supposes it's fine.

He ought to get back to his own training, anyway.]
lostinshadows: ([06] Oh we have felt it all)

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-06-20 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Be proud, Sakura. Be proud.

Lavi looks impressed. Healing magic, though not rare in this world, is always something that seemed impressive to him.]


Those all sounds pretty impressive, Sakura. [A grin.] I guess if I ever get any injuries, I'll come seek you out to be healed then?
asterflower: (66)

[personal profile] asterflower 2017-06-20 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
So, it's a selective thing. [Shion confirms, his voice softening. There's a sad ache in his chest at all of this. All this uncertainty and unknown... How is he suppose to trust anything?]

It's a hope to look towards, I guess. All I know is I want to live. I don't want to die again. So... I'll survive.

[Somehow.]
asterflower: <user name=entropycurse site=tumblr.com> (24)

[personal profile] asterflower 2017-06-20 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right. [He smiles.]

Nice to meet you, Ann-san. I'm Shion.

[Another thing they have in common. Names are all they have.

He looks at the pamphlet again and reads aloud,]


The strength and effectiveness of a borderline is completely dependent on the shinki’s mindset at the time. Confidence and knowing themselves to be ‘above’ the target will make for a stronger borderline.

So...
priforprince: (prop)

[personal profile] priforprince 2017-06-20 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
We shall see.

[ She had mostly been hoping to observe new things Wendy could learn, honestly. What is there for her to master? She's already perfect.

But, it can't hurt to learn the new faces. Perhaps someone will show unexpected promise.

Feel free to return to that practice you totally hadn't been doing with her personal property. Or hang out. She's fine either way. ]

You might just end up doing something that'll cause him to question things or even look familiar.

[Toushirou doesn't know Shion well, but he'd rather the other didn't go through another panic attack so soon. It's been barely a day and already, he's looking out for the other white-haired male.]
