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~

Then again, I haven't found how my power works yet either... [Nor has he found much about what it does. Emizel has no room to talk.][A power boost increase does sound pretty cool!]

[challengesfate]

Oh? Would you like to try to practice on me?

[She's asking all these other people for help, it's only natural to offer help to others.]

...I have no idea what exactly happened in that last tag

[trademark_skull]

Well...

[How to put this lightly..]

M-maybe if I knew where to actually start.

[None of it came with an instruction manual. And it's not activated the same as his other magic, from what he can tell.]

eh it's cool

[challengesfate]

Then that can be where you begin. I don't mind.

[She's her for it, take your time]

[trademark_skull]

W-well, you at least seem to know your power a bit better. You should go first.

[challengesfate]

Are you certain?

[Dude you don't know anything about yours, you've got a willing subject - why not jump on that?]

[trademark_skull]

Yeah, I'll always have some other time.

[Odds are it won't work right at this moment anyway, unless Lucina has some deep fears she's not letting anyone know about.]

[challengesfate]

[Nah she's good on that front]

Alright, then...so I believe I have to focus, and then...touch...your hand? If that's alright.

[trademark_skull]

[Alas, hard to practice on a power that was situational.]

Um, seems easy enough...

[Awkwardly offers his. Usually does not like girls touching him, b-but it is just a hand. What could possibly go wrong..?]

[challengesfate]

[Yeah it's awkward to kind of say "hey can I touch you?" in the first place. As it is, she'll just gently touch his hand for a moment, focusing, and Emizel should feel a surge of physical strength! It'll only last for about five minutes, though.]

[trademark_skull]

[Kind of not sure if he should be doing anything, especially when nothing was happening yet. Once the extra strength kicked in Emizel felt more energized than he was used to.] --Woah!

[He pulled away and checked his hands. He could see anything notably different, he should probably test this out on something before it wears off.]

[challengesfate]

[Okay, that reaction probably means she did the thing...]

If you are going to try picking something up, I suggest that you don't throw it around. When it wears off, you could get hurt, and I'd rather that not happen.

[trademark_skull]

Hmmm... [Just tried partially lifting a table up and sure enough, it was so easy and light. This is so damn cool.]

--I wanna try something!

[Needs to hurry to the target dummies before the strength wears off, and push them into place. So that when Emizel summoned his scythe he could slice them all one after another.]

[Aaaaa the scythe barely weighed a thing, and he was cutting through them like butter. This what being an experienced Death must feel like!!] I love it!

[challengesfate]

...

[Wow, he. He did that really fast.]

That's...that's incredible! The ease of your movements is amazing!

[trademark_skull]

[It was fun while it lasted. The scythe fell to the ground with a light thud now that Emizel had to use his own strength to carry it again. He seemed a bit disappointed.]

[But not for long. He turned to Lucina again like an excited puppy.] That was so much fun! Can I do it again?!

[challengesfate]

Um...I suppose you can? So long as you continue to not do anything too dangerous.

[After all, she should learn her own limits now, and not in battle, right?]

[trademark_skull]

I won't! [He's been a good, obedient little demon and keeping his damage to a minimal. The things getting slaughtered were never alive to begin with too. Everything is pretty safe thus far.]
