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~

[There won't be any questions or complaints over at her side of the equation because opening her mouth she will do.]

Stay still.

[ Hibiki transfers a small, square-shaped cake from her cake tongs to two fingers. She holds it up, then moves it slowly towards Nike's mouth. ] "Aah."

[ It's always best to demonstrate instead of merely illustrate. ]
drizzle: (excited)

[personal profile] drizzle 2017-08-16 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't have to ask her twice as Nike follows her direction in saying "Aah" for her. There is no shame in accepting free food from friends!]
priforprince: (aah)

Sweets for the sweet.

[ Aaaaand it makes landing. This particular petit four just happens to be Nike's favorite flavor, too!

Geniuses can do that. ]
drizzle: (that is so freaking impressive)

[personal profile] drizzle 2017-08-17 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[When it makes a landing, Nike will try her best to savor the flavor before deciding to do anything else. It was very fortunate that she did because she'll find herself melting at the amazing taste she will be pleasantly surprise with.

A hand will find its way in her mouth as she looks at Hibiki amazed. Please give her a moment or two to enjoy this delicious paradise she is in now.]


A-Amazing! It's completely and absolutely amazing. I haven't tasted something so delicious before!

[Is this what gods eat? Because she feels like she ate a forbidden item right now. She ain't worthy for this delicacy!]
priforprince: (bask)

[personal profile] priforprince 2017-08-17 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ Satisfactory. Smiling, Hibiki reveals the source of the pastry: a whole platter of the things, piled in attractive designs atop lace doilies. The refreshments here can't be counted upon. One must plan ahead. ] There's plenty of other flavors available.

[ In all kinds of colors, too! (Hibiki may have a slight dessert problem. THEY GO WELL WITH TEA.) ]
drizzle: (excited)

[personal profile] drizzle 2017-08-18 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Nike's eyes will twinkle at the wide array of desserts of all colors and designs and flavors! Not to mention the designs of the platters were just as amazing too.]

You really do have great taste!

[Very good taste. The highest of tastes, even. Nike just can't wrap her head around it. She wanted to eat more, but wanted to be on her best behavior and make an effort to have some form of sophistication.]

...which is your favorite flavor out of all of them?
priforprince: (part 1)

[personal profile] priforprince 2017-08-18 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Mine?

[ Hibiki thinks about this, then smiles almost conspiratorially. She points at a cluster of dark brown confections. ] I must admit a weakness for chocolat....

Though any flavor would be a delight if consumed while witnessing your smile.
drizzle: (glad)

[personal profile] drizzle 2017-08-24 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Chocolat...?

[Give her one second to think about it until she realizes.] Oh! It's chocolate! Perfect! You have really good tastes too.

[Reaching for a napkin and utensils to use to get a dark brown treat, placing it on top of her napkin.] Let's test your idea out to see if it's true. [Placing the treat close to her lips.] It's your turn to say "ahh"!
priforprince: (befuddled)

[personal profile] priforprince 2017-08-24 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
....My turn?

[ Sorry, she doesn't follow.

For a moment, it almost sounded like....! ]
