August Training

Who: Everyone
What: Information and Training
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~

[ CAKE TO THE FACE! It's the revenge of the sachertorte and it's beaned him right between the eyes and knocked his glasses clean off. ]

What in blazes?!

[ Momentary daze, groping for his glasses brb ]

[ Hibiki watches this with a rather flat expression on her face. It wasn't her fault, so she sees no need to make amends.

Where did this child's glasses end up, though...? She'll ascertain they aren't in her path, then reach for a drink. Tea....? No?

Lemonade might do if it's not that powder rubbish. ]

[ Found em. Thankfully they hadn't flown off too far. But who the heck is throwing cake?!

....with Hibiki being the only one at the table, the only logical conclusion is that he's found his culprit. ]


You there! What is the meaning of attacking me with pastry?

[ huff huff huff ]

[ Hibiki found sparkling water! This will serve.

She frowns over the rim of her cup, however, at being thus accused. This little boy has a surprisingly deep voice... ]
Assigning blame without witnessing the crime is childish.

[ Sip. ]

[ Childish?! You're the one throwing pastry -- at least as far as Heine's aware of. ]

As is trying to cover up one's misdeeds. It came flying from this direction and you happen to be the only one near the cakes to begin with.

[ Hibiki sniffs. ] Do I look like the sort who'd hurl pastry?

[ Something by her ear is laughing. She grits her teeth. ]
