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.

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~

[How's that? He sounded pretty cool there, huh? Just like a hero or something.
Continuing on that thought, when the other stops outright refusing his thanks, Yosuke considers it a victory on his part. And since he can, he lets the other know about it.] I'll take that as you accepting the gratitude. You're welcome, man.
[See, this guy wasn't that difficult to handle after all!]
no subject
[Given what the training session with Fubuki and Yukine had been like yesterday, motivation and intent seem to be strong factors. If this guy has both, he should have a good shot at consistent borderlines.
At his remark, Shun just shoots him a rather unimpressed glare.] Just because I don't want to waste my breath arguing you in circles about it doesn't mean I suddenly want it.
[If this was one of the physical training areas, Shun would be tempted to beat the notion out of him, but for now that's not really necessary.]
no subject
You can't know it's naive before you try, right? [He crosses his arms, only somewhat offended by the comment. By now, Yosuke's come to expect pessimism from this guy.
So when he gets complimented on his attitude (or so he perceives it), he grins a bit.] Yeah, just watch me. I'm gonna be the best damn shinki around.
[At the other's ongoing denial, Yosuke waves a hand. There really was no convincing this guy.] Fine, fine, sure, you don't have to want it.
[He offers a nod.] Name's Yosuke, by the way. Hanamura Yosuke. You gonna give me yours?
[Or does he have to fight over that too?]
no subject
Yosuke's boast gets a faint snort that seems perhaps very faintly amused.] There's some stiff competition for that title. And I wouldn't say it in front of any older shinki. [Yukine might ink his face.
At the very least, Shun has no trouble offering his name, especially when Yosuke chose to extend his first.] Kurosaki Shun. Nekhbet when I have to be.
[Which probably makes it pretty clear which title he prefers. Just because he's been lumped with the name of a god doesn't mean Shun has to use it outside of work.]
no subject
He chuckles though, upon hearing about older shinki.] Respect your elders, huh? I'd be careful if I could actually tell old shinki apart from new. [The trouble is that physical age doesn't seem to matter much here.
When he hears the guy's name, he simply nods--- until he realizes he's heard it before and nearly chokes on air.] W-wait a minute! You're Nekhbet?! [He was Munakata's god!? But-- but... he'd thought... he'd expected some totally god-like dude with god-like patience and-- those two's roles were totally the wrong way around!]
Dude, no way!
no subject
Usually older shinki have a different attitude, but the one you'd be most likely to run foul of with that is Yukine. Short blond kid with orange eyes, works with the god Yato. [And about as ready to tolerate baseless boasting from other people as Shun is, if their training session with Fubuki yesterday was any sign.
There's an air of immediate wariness at Yosuke's recognition of his title, and Shun quickly runs through the likely reasons. He's awestruck or shocked, it seems, which means it's fairly likely whoever spoke to him offered a far better image of him than he's given off here. That already narrows the suspect pool substantially, but Shun would rather not name names until he knows for sure.]
You sound surprised. If someone's been putting optimistic images in your head, I'm not here to uphold them.
