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.




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~

God Training
As the information about what being a god entails and the relationship between a god and their shinki is being explained, William can be seen jotting notes down on a spare bit of paper he was able to get his hands on. He already knows how much work goes into being a death god, but it seems that even more is being piled on top of that now.

He pauses to sigh, shaking his head lightly. He really hopes this temple of his has a hot tub or something equally relaxing. This whole thing sounds like it's going to be a headache. ]


Physical Training
[ Along with the info he received earlier was the new power that William supposedly possessed. Adoptive muscle memory was apparently what it was called, and it would allow him to be able to perform nearly any physical form of attack just by witnessing another do it. So as others are out in the fields, practicing their own moves, William is quietly observing, then testing out whether or not his power is functioning properly. ]

Rest and Refreshments
[ If there's a moment of rest to be given, William T. Spears is certainly going to take it. Though informative, this day seems to be a rather relaxed one, letting the new gods and shinki settle into their new roles. William figures he better take the chance to sit and relax while it's even available. He can't even imaging the load of prayers that may be coming in for him to answer in the morning.

He's seated at one of the provided tables, enjoying some tea and rereading over the notes he'd taken earlier. ]

Rest and Refreshments

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2017-07-19 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
[The refreshments were good after a long day of practice. ...Despite it not really being that long and more so that Emizel wasn't that physically adept. He found plenty of little deserts to snack on while he recovered.]

[Dismissing the scythe felt unnecessary too since he will go back to using it once he was done eating. It's not like it was in the way or anything. He made sure to prop it up in such a way so it can't fall over and hurt someone.]
death_glare: (reading files)

[personal profile] death_glare 2017-07-19 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ William briefly looks up from his notes to take a sip of his tea. That's when his eyes fall on the scythe resting against a nearby table. It looks suspiciously like the scythe of someone he knows from back home - someone who just so happened to be raising previously reaped souls from the dead right before William was teleported here. Though, a quick glance around shows no signs of Undertaker, so William decides to take it upon himself to go and inspect the seemingly discarded scythe. ]

Excuse me. Do you know where the owner of this scythe has gone?
trademark_skull: (Everything's gonna be okay)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2017-07-19 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Attention is perked. He turns over to look.]

Oh, that one is mine.

BREAKTIME'S OVER SPEARS!

[ Now that's just cruel. First it's Grell and now, this. To gain, one must lose. The universe had to be kept in balance. Give and take. It was almost as if every hint of his new life had been taken from him and his old life returned all in one blow.

But he approaches, his hand raised in greeting and with a fairly young pale haired shinki clutching the sleeve of the jacket hanging where his left arm should be just to hide his disability. The only smile he can muster, however is a little tired and a little sad but fighting to remain there. ]


Wotcher, Mister Spears. Managed to shake off Mister Sutcliffe, did you?

[ Because if Grell was about, she'd likely managed to attach herself to their supervisor's arm. ]
death_glare: (shocked)

[personal profile] death_glare 2017-07-19 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, don't be fooled, Knox. William spent a good portion of his early afternoon prying Grell off of his waist. ]

Knox?

[ At first, William's not sure if he should be relieved to find out he's not the only one here stuck with Grell. But another thought quickly comes to mind, shutting that first one out completely. ]

Honestly, who is running Collections if all three of us are here?

[ His headache just got 10,000x worse. ]
diehardreaper: ([///] | Your power it gave me new life)

Hold the phone. Did he just call him Knox? Did he mention Collections? ]


You... you remember my name? You know who I am, then?

[ HE WILL NOT CRY HE'S A GROWN REAPER DAMMIT! ]

You're not a shinki...

[ NOT. CRYING. Just relieved is all. ]

[Chikusa hasn't stepped forward to do any practicing just yet, but that's because he's the kind of person who prefers to do so when there's not as many people in the training area. It's always a little tricky to find that timing during these gatherings.... Yet a break always exists, he knows that much.]

[One of the problems, however, is the guy watching nearby. Chikusa recognizes him, slightly, from a mission some time ago, although he can't say much more than that. After a while of waiting, he sighs.]


Have you finished practicing borderlines or spells yet...?

[If not, maybe he could just... nudge him that way.... so that the area would be a little more clear.]
death_glare: (calm side glance)

[personal profile] death_glare 2017-07-22 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ William turns from where he was watching one of the few people left in the area - frowning a bit at being interrupted. ]

I was practicing neither, to begin with.
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-07-23 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you'll want to do that before the day is over if you want anyone to actually practice them again....

[Had his god possessed another shinki? Chikusa can't remember, and is pretty sure he didn't learn in the first place.]

[ It's still pretty early in Botan's time at the training 'grounds,' but with the weather, a bit of cold beverages felt like a good idea. Especially when she was here for practice more than finding anyone in particular. Not that there wasn't anyone to find- there were more people with that kind of energy.

And one of those people was sitting and taking a break. Seeing as Botan isn't exactly the shy type, the blue-haired girl goes to lean on the back of a chair while looking at the man in contemplation. Glasses- is it common to have that color of eyes? It's a remarkable coincidence, unless he managed to be related to Ron.

She couldn't really ask, and wouldn't get an answer anyway, if the man was a shinki.

Nothing better than being direct, right? ]


This is probably a little forward. Are you a god or shinki?
death_glare: (glance to the right calm)

[personal profile] death_glare 2017-07-22 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Before Botan even asks her question, William's slowly looking up to her. I mean, she's suddenly right there in front of him, leaning in with obvious intent to make conversation. ]

I have been assigned as the god Ma'at. Is there a reason you asked?

[Tsuzuki, meanwhile, is taking a break from borderline practice with a very big piece of cake he's rescued from the buffet. He glances over at the man with tea and notes across the table with genuine curiosity, trying to read his notes upside down from across the table. What's there to take notes on, anyway?]

... Wow, you're really taking this seriously.
death_glare: (close up brow lift)

[personal profile] death_glare 2017-07-22 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps that makes up for your lack of seriousness.

[personal profile] lookingforhead 2017-07-29 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Of all the Shinki present at the physical training session there are a few who were, in their past lives, psychopomps much like William. Whether they still are is something that can be debated, but there is one in particular who is busy at work with her own training.

The helmeted woman turns and spins, flourishing her black scythe with an ease that betrays its lack of weight. As she keeps swinging it against the training dummies it changes size and shape as she experiments with different formations, even going for a few double bladed variants.

Once she's done she nods, satisfied, and the scythe dissipates into shadows that stream back up into her sleeves.

death_glare: (cover adjustment)

[personal profile] death_glare 2017-07-31 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Since he's been observing and taking notes on some of the others' styles and techniques, it's almost impossible for him to miss this sight. Both the ease at which she moves and the transformation properties of her scythe are intriguing. And he supposes the unique outfit has him curious, too.

When it seems she's deceided to take a break, William approaches, casually adjusting his frames before speaking. ]
