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~
shinki training
He walks over and pats this poor guy on the back sympathetically.]
It's tough, man! I still can't do it right and I've been here...
[He starts counting out the months on his fingers, but then he remembers how he measures the time and how it traumatized a newbie last time around and drops his hand sheepishly.]
A while. Yeah. A while.
no subject
Uh, dude. How long is a while? I'm my god's only shinki, I gotta make sure I'm not holding her back just 'cause I can't get a stupid line right. Is there a trick to it?
no subject
[He keeps telling people not to worry and it keeps not working.]
You'll get the line thing right eventually. And it's not like it's the only way you can help! She gave you a name, right? So you have a vessel form, right? Is it cool? Think you can help her with that?
[He can't hide his enthusiasm when it comes to the whole vessel thing. He kind of wants to tell everyone about it, except everyone kind of already knows, so it really only works if he springs it on the new guys.]
no subject
I... don't know? I mean, yeah, I've got a name--a different name from my other name, I mean--but I don't know what it does yet. What's yours? Uh, your name or your vessel form. I'm Prompto!
[He introduces himself with a nod, bouncing slightly on his heels.]
no subject
[He waves that off, then continues chattering away.]
All my gods have stuck with "Hakki" for my name, and --
[Oops. That slipped out. BETTER MOVE ON QUICK.
He tugs the glove off his left hand to show off where his name is written.]
See? There it is! I turn into a pair of dice, which is a little weird because there are two parts of me and I don't have eyes to see with or anything, but you can still tell what's going on, you know?
no subject
Whoa. Doesn't it feel weird, like... separating? Waaah, I'm getting the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it.
[Prompto shudders and rubs at his bare upper arms.]
What if one of you gets thrown somewhere really far away from the other one? People lose dice all the time! What if you lose half of yourself under the couch? Would you come back as just your top or bottom half?!
no subject
I think Tatara could change me back? That...that would make everything go back where it's supposed to be, right?
[He fidgets back and forth, looking rather distressed.]
Now I have the heebie-jeebies! What are we gonna do?!
no subject
[Says Prompto, who has never been calm a day in his life OR afterlife.]
There's gotta be a way to keep yourself together! What if you... tied a string around both dice so you couldn't get separated? Or only let yourself be used in a bowl? That way you're less likely to fall off the table during board games.
no subject
[This is something he never though he'd have to plan for.]
I wonder if he could make me bigger. Maybe they can change that kinda thing...I don't know...But they make really big dice, right? People put them in their cars?
[He wouldn't be opposed to being a pair of fuzzy dice if it means not getting lost in the couch.]
no subject
[Come on, buddy, you're worth more than that!]
no subject
[This is truly a dilemma.]
I don't know what I'm gonna do...
no subject
[Prompto, you pUT THIS IDEA IN HIS HEAD.]
no subject
[And it went fine, so he probably shouldn't worry at all, but he'd really like to stay in one piece. And if Tatara lost half of him, would he even work right? That would be the worst part, probably. He has his duties as a shinki, after all.]
My luck's pretty good, but you know how luck is.
no subject
[Luck is such a bogus stat it isn't even included in FFXV. Prompto puts one hand over his heart and the other on Sakon's shoulder, speaking solemnly.]
If you get lost, buddy, I will totally come over and look for you. Dusty couch undersides and all. It's the least I can do.
no subject
[Sakon beams at him, panic momentarily set aside.]
I'll come find you if you're in a bunch of parts, too! Maybe not put you together if you're a puzzle or something, but...but I'll find the pieces!
no subject
D-do most people turn into something that comes apart?
[Heeere come the heebie-jeebies once more...]
no subject
[He frowns slightly. You can see the wheels in his head turning and they're going nowhere fast.]
I never really asked. I wonder who'd know...
no subject
[They're both stupid. This is stupid. At least he's making friends...?]
no subject
[He should probably know this, considering how many different gods he's served, but only one of them has ever put him in his vessel form, so...]
no subject
[But he felt so right going to Lucina. There was that connection, that feeling of, yes, this is where he belongs.]
I didn't think changing something like that would be easy. N-not that I want to! I like Lucina a lot!
no subject
[Sakon shifts around uncomfortably and scratches at the back of his head.
Oops. He told someone about it again.]
Don't worry about it, though! It might not! Really!
no subject
[He will definitely worry about it, but later. Definitely later. Totally not now.
...Yup.]
Is there any way to make sure I don't? Or is it just, like, decided for you the way we got decided today?
no subject
[Well, he's going to have to explain it somehow.]
Well, if you're happy where you are, you can stay, but...uh...
[He cringes a little.]
Sometimes gods don't stick around, you know? So then, you kinda...
[He waves his hands ineffectually.]
no subject
[It's too easy for his brain to fill in that blank. So then, you're kinda abandoned. Makes sense.]
Well... that's gods for you. Can't expect them to keep track of every little thing.
[As if they have a choice about whether or not they get dropped.]
What happens if you... don't buddy up with another god?
no subject
[Speaking from a lot of experience.]
Someone will let you crash with them until then! Like, you could stay with us if you wanted. It's just...people will give you a place to stay even when they aren't interested in taking you on as a shinki, so it, uh...kinda bums you out a little. Well, if you're like me. Some people are probably fine with it.
