[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~

[This guy has no sense of self-preservation, thus why this.

The owl is of concern, enough for a moment until there's sudden blue fire and water and oh gods what is going to happen if he gets hit by that????

Nari is going to attempt to awkwardly bounce out of the way of this strange water. Enough hits him that he hisses at the sudden sensation of being drained and he glares at the owl.]

...... water is a good conductor of electricity, bird-thing.

[AIN'T CALLING IT AN OWL BECAUSE OWLS DON'T DO THAT.]

[Mukurou goes over to flap by Chikusa, looking smug that it got any hit at all in. The teen himself just slides off his now soaked glasses.]

You started it.

[nolittlesecret]

[What is wrong with this water he's trying to figure it out. Unsuccessfully.]

Just testing out my brand new god power. Not my fault the cloud decided to follow you.

[Actually it is.]

[kokuyoyo]

[sounds fake but okay]

Maybe you should have tested it out away from people....

[nolittlesecret]

Where's the fun in that?

[ :D ]

[kokuyoyo]

[....Wordlessly, Chikusa raises his arm and Mukurou starts to wiggle as if in preparation for take off again.]

[nolittlesecret]

[Nari lets his hand spark to let Chikusa know that he's more than serious about frying the bird.]

[kokuyoyo]

[Unfortunately for Mukurou, that doesn't seem to dissuade Chikusa much, and he shoves the bird off until it's flying higher and higher into the sky.]
