[godsoffortune]

Who: Everyone
What: Information and Training
When: August 5
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~

[Nike has been laying down onto the garden's soft grass and flowers in an attempt to better connect with her surroundings at the Far Shore. No matter how much it's in the world of the non-living, unlike the Near Shore, she can still feel and sense her surroundings, even if it is weaker in strength.

All of her concentration in her surroundings may have relaxed her enough to convince her to nap for a bit, so when she opens her eyes, there will be someone close by. A girl in green which was an interesting color on someone. Tilting her head a bit, she'll watch her curiously.]

It really is! It's actually one of the main reasons I decided to return here. Other than training, I wanted to see this place again.

[Sitting up, while her legs remain on her side, she'll wonder.]

Taking a break too?

[humanitree]

Yes. I'm trying not to push myself too hard on the first day.

[And that's harder than it looks. Or might have been if there wasn't so much to see. In the end, finding a small distraction for a little while hadn't been so hard after all. There's very little harm in getting to know her surroundings as well as the other people living here a little better too; beyond just that of her powers and duties. So that's what she's doing. At least-- that's one thing to call it.

Smiling, Mikaela takes a seat on the grass next to the girl, folding her legs under her. It looked comfortable, if the other girl was any indication, having just woken from a short nap. Mikaela had thought she looked so peaceful. And now that she's sitting, she has to admit it is very soft. It's nice being so close to the earth.]

I'm glad I got to see it. But it feels like everything I see is just a little bit more amazing than the last. I don't know how I'll keep up.

[It's so different from her forest, or even the human towns and villages.]

[drizzle]

Good idea! And welcome, by the way.

[It was always odd to see new arrivals since it's the first time for her to meet one. She didn't expect more to arrive so soon. Then again, she really didn't know the timing of these things just yet.

Even so, she'll continue to smile happily upon getting the chance to greet someone new, just like many people did before her. It was exciting for her because it's proving the length of time she's been in this world for.]

You'll be even more amaze after exploring the Near Shore. It's a pretty big town! There's a lot of people and things you can do there. Like, you can eat, shop, and play all types of different games. [Shaking her head a bit.] No, there's so much more you can do. I'm still exploring and finding new things. It's a lot of fun to visit.
