[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~

[He's fast. That's something that Toushirou can at least give him credit for. Unfortunately, the one thing about fighting non-humans is their own capability of not playing fair by their own rules sometimes. Teleportation is a god's power, so Shun may be able to react slightly faster. However, the idea is temporarily pushed aside as he starts up another spell.]

Hado no. 1: Sho.

[Extending his index finger out towards Shun, there's a flicker of bright light before it disappears. However, whether it hits Shun or something around him, something is going to get forcibly blown back.]

[revolutionfalcon]

[At this point and with an attack like that, which Shun can't even see coming, he makes a split-second decision as to whether to teleport out of the way. However, with no guarantee that's going to let him avoid the attack when he has no clue if it'll be coming from Hitsugaya or whether the disappearance means it'll be coming from somewhere else, he settles on taking the chance and bracing himself while heading straight onwards.

...And promptly gets blasted back with a far from insignificant amount of force. That's actually relatively familiar to him, though, and he manages to correct himself mid-air so he lands on his feet, skidding back and straightening up looking about as unfazed as one can after being blasted halfway across a training field with no particular defense.]

[freezetheheavens]

[As Shun gets blasted back, Toushirou only takes a brief moment to ensure that he isn't damaged before he holds out his hand, palm facing Shun while his other hand is placed on his outstretched arm.]

Hado no. 58: Tenran.

[There's a flicker of a bright blue light before a tornado-like blast propels from his palm and aims at Shun.]

[revolutionfalcon]

[Something that obvious is much easier to prepare for, at least, and this time Shun is ready for it. Not quite in the same way as he has been before, though - he's been mainly focusing on countering with no powers at all, but maybe it's time to test what abuse of his god powers can do.

As the tornado storms through his vicinity, Shun disappears in the blink of an eye, and reappears behind Hijikata at a much close range than he reached last time. Not missing a beat, he steps forward with the intent to deliver a hard kick to the neck, though depending on the speed of the counter he may not even make it to the kicking part.]
