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~

Training

[fullcowl]

[Izuku's there with his brochures- like he normally is.]

My aim? With darts? I haven't really tried it before. But I'm sure there's somebody here who's got a lot of skill in that.

[diehardreaper]

[ Ah yes, the useful kid being useful! ]

We just needed someone to help our timing-- ah, yeah. Noel, come say hi. Shiki, return.

[ There's that familiar flash of light associated with shinki summoning that disappears as a young boy appears next to Ron. He gives a polite bow to Izuku in greeting as requested by his god. ]

[fullcowl]

What kind of timing are you talking about?

[Izuku gives a little smile and a wave.]

Nice to meet you, Noel. I'm Izuku Midoriya.

[diehardreaper]

[ Noel nods back at the wave but is quick to return to Ron's side, clutching his god's empty sleeve as he was used to. ]

Bit on the shy side, he is... but he's a good lad. He's a defensive sort. Can deflect blows for me but he can't keep it up long so I'd thought if we worked on making the shield the minute a blow comes in, we'd make the most of his ability.

[fullcowl]

So you'd like somebody to throw darts at you to strengthen that ability? Or rather, to get the timing down?

[Just to make sure they're both on the same page here.]

[diehardreaper]

Yeah, that's right. I'd like the lad to learn to do it without my having to tell him.

[ Reaching over to ruffle his shinki's hair. ]

Or d'you think we're going about this the wrong way and there's a better way?

[fullcowl]

I think you're on the right track. I haven't had any experience with a power like that before. I'm used to limitless ice and fire with my partner.

But if it's only for a short amount at a time, it makes sense to pin point when it's needed. You might want to start with something less... painful? Darts could puncture skin, and I don't know who has healing powers. Small pebbles probably won't do as much harm.

[diehardreaper]

[ Cue a whistle because damn if that isn't an impressive quirk shinki. But he does nod at the suggestion. ]

Despite the arm, I'm fairly decent in dodging. M'sure I could prolly catch what he can't. Pebbles though... there's prolly a few outside...

[fullcowl]

[Shouto is very impressive and Izuku's glad to work with him every day.]

I think there are some in the gardens? I can help you look if you'd like.
