When: August 15
Where: Bishamon's temple, the Far Shore
Summary: Training and informational sessions for newly arrived gods and shinki



In anticipation of the latest round of new arrivals, Heaven has partnered with the new gods and shinki to organize a very helpful informational reception.

Gods and shinki arriving at heaven's meeting hall are, should they allow it, guided kindly towards Bishamon's temple. In that vast complex they are brought to a traditional-style dojo. The gods and shinki are free to take their time during this day to learn about the details of their new life from Amaterasu's shinki or from the many veteran new god and shinki volunteers.




God Training

Unfortunately, Bishamon is away on business today, but her shinki as well as Amaterasu's ever-present shinki and any volunteering gods will offer 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 receive as orientation 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 as well as offering a lecture on the basics of what is expected of a shinki and the importance of teamwork with other shinki and with gods. It is encouraged that shinki group up together to practice what they've learned and discuss their ideologies.

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.) This is vital for gods who, for example, find themselves with a sword shinki but are at risk of cutting off their own toes.
It's 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~

[Prompto was busy trying to get a perfect shot up through the branches of a tree when he hears Ron's comment.]

Someone said what where?

[Hi, he's new.]

[diehardreaper]

[ Somewhat new! The face is familiar but he didn't quite catch your name the first time. But he'll nod Prompto over with a jerk of his head. ]

There was a post on the network a while back. Some bloke mentioned heaven's a rather good looking lot'n I have to agree. Not a rough face in the bunch.

[ And picking up his water bottle to make room next to him. ]

You're new then?

[untodeath]

[ Draping an elbow over the back of the bench, Grell cranes her neck back to take a good look at their new companion! Assessing him up and down, she does manage a grin at the sight of him! Dressed well enough, with stylish hair, and a cute face... he could be Ronald's type, she thinks! ]

Welcome. I'm Grell, darling - and this is Ronald.

[photoshooter]

[Prompto... totally misses the once-over and smiles guilelessly at the two of them.]

Aw, is it that obvious? Yeah, I'm new. Name's Prompto!

[He snaps a quick, uncareful shot of the leaves and flowers he was trying to get and trots over, though he doesn't sit uninvited.]

But uh, it makes sense that everyone's pretty attractive, right? It, you know, being heaven and all.

[diehardreaper]

Been here awhile, really! I'd like to think I'd recall most names'n faces by now... except for the new meat of course.

[ Patting the spot next to him, just in case the kid needed a seat. ]

We were just taking in the sights. Good a time as any with all the newcomers'n all.

[untodeath]

You seem to be taking in the sights, as well?

[ Nodding toward Prompto and his phone, she chuckles. But she, too, will motion for him to sit where Ronald has offered. ]

[photoshooter]

[He laughs and takes the offered seat.]

Uh, probably different sights than what you two mean. But now that you mention it, there sure are a lot of good-looking people around... Think it's a requirement for entry?

[diehardreaper]

Couldn't say! Keeps things interesting, at least.

[ And resting his arm on his knee. ]

M'sure no matter your type, there's prolly someone who'll tickle your fancy. Not for nothing but some of Amaterasu's shinki are fairly fit, if you'd wanted my opinion.

[untodeath]

And, to think, she's too young to fully appreciate her situation!

[ Grell remarks, with a hand to her cheek! ]

Well, I commend her past self! We should aspire to have the same standards.

[photoshooter]

Past self? Wha?

[Prompto's at least heard the name Amaterasu around, but he definitely hasn't had the "yeah and big gods reincarnate if killed" talk.]
