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~

I think it's very important that you do count it. In that case...

[ It sounds like she's still getting the hang of them, but has more positive developments than anything else. Even more, that confidence seems to be the key in these borderlines, so she'd rather encourage it. ]

If you manage to get 80% reliability on creating them, and 60% accuracy, I think we can add figuring our your specialty on top of that. After all, you have to start mastering the basics before adding any personal flair, right?

[meowbel]

I guess but I just know that I want to figure it out really soon! The faster I can master it, the faster I can show it off to people!

[In the back of Mabel's mind, she was already plotting out just what kind of super special thing she could do!]

Especially if I can make it go out with some kind of bang too!

[genkireaper]

With a bang, huh?

[ That could be dangerous, but honestly? This was a kid that just wanted something cool, so Botan couldn't really hold it against her. ]

Well, come find me once you manage those requirements, and we'll get to work. Or you can work with anyone else that has managed to add things to their borderlines. I'm sure there's a group of experienced shinki.

[meowbel]

So wait, does that mean you can't teach me how?

[While Mabel didn't want to say anything to her, she can't hide her disappointment]

Pretty please? With sugar on top?

[genkireaper]

Well, not right now. You need to master the basics a little more.

[ Maybe that'll buy her some time to figure out what to do. It also seems to be that children don't quite pang to her heartstrings as they may do for other people. ]

[meowbel]

[With that, there was a small pout from her]

Plleeaasseeee? If you teach me, I promise that I'll do extra good learning! And I'll make it with cherries on top too!

[Sorry, Botan, Mabel is stubborn like that!]

[genkireaper]

[ If Mabel wanted to be stubborn, Botan could be stubborn right on back. Because that's totally the mature thing to do. ]

Sorry, but that's my decision on it. There's no way I'm going to risk you getting hurt over a technique you're not ready for.
