July Training
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.

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~
physical training
Don't know if it's that good of a sword tutorial, but damn if it isn't a classic piece of cinematic fucking mastery.
[Despite the reverence of the words, his tone is completely deadpan.]
no subject
'Tis a terrible sword tutorial, I am certain. This is all theatrical and none of the actors seem like they could be warriors IRL. It works better as motivation than actual move advice. Quip goals.
I almost didn't watch this movie because it's so old, though. I did it to understand a reference in a meme and I'm glad I did.
no subject
[At the mention of almost not watching it because it was too old, though, Davesprite has to turn his head towards Loki with an air of deliberate and weighty disbelief.] Dude, please tell me you learnt the fuck out of your lesson from that, because there are some true gems hidden amongst the rough stone ages of twenty or so years ago. I'm talking legit masterpieces as well as masterpieces of shit writing so exquisite they cannot be described any other way.
no subject
I accept recommendations, in any case. Because if knowing old references is in fact cool, I should be more aware of them. I was surprised about the amount of famous quotes in The Princess Bride. It was like reverse engineering for memes.
no subject
[Because that is definitely a word and not a thing he just decided to say right now because it was relevant to the subject.]
Also, most remakes are a kind of shitty effort at trying to recapture the magic of the original movie, so you at least owe it to yourself to watch both the original and the remake and decide which you like better. Unless the original is clearly superior like Robocop or something.
no subject
Since you seem to be a connoisseur of pop culture, perhaps you can help me recognize this. Once in a trip, I lost the perfect setup to make an obvious joke because it was an old media reference. So we were riding to the British Otherworld and we were about to reach Camelot. We can behold the castle at the distance. Which movie or show or book could that be about?
no subject
[The more people watching the good shit and the spectacularly bad shit, the better, really. Everything else was optional to suit tastes.
Davesprite seems almost flatly surprised that this guy didn't know the obvious potential source for that reference.] I'm gonna say Monty Python and the Holy Grail, old classic comedy movie by a bunch of British dudes who pretty much pioneered their own style of bizarro sketch comedy. There's barely a line in that movie the greater internet population doesn't know off by heart.
no subject
That name seems to ring a bell... [Loki thinks about it.] Oh, isn't that the motion picture with the man-eating white rabbits?
no subject
[How do they not already have a god of memes, this is unacceptable. Though Davesprite did remark on Ceiling Cat's absence from this Heaven once before.
At Loki's recognition, Davesprite gives him a casual finger-gun and a nod.] Got it in one. And the nasty, pointy little teeth.
