August Training

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.

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~

And of course... she gets stuck with a prickly little sassmaster. Geez, it's like Maki all over again. Honoka makes a bit of a face but then blows up, her bangs fluttering up and off her forehead. ]
Well, I guess everyone's gotta start somewhere. If this isn't a mixup, I'm gonna just roll with it and do what I can!
[ FAITO DAYO ]
... or, uh. We're gonna do what we can, huh? I guess we're supposed to be working together. I'm Honoka Kousaka!
no subject
[The word means nothing to him now, except deep in his heart. And while his tone still isn't warm, it's less jagged.
Still, he doesn't give his name]
no subject
[ Oh well! So much for that. ]
So anyway! What about you? What's your name?
no subject
[He shrugs]
You're supposed to name me, right? So it's not like my name matters.
no subject
[ Honoka pulls a bit of a stinkface. ]
Yeah, I gotta give you another name, but if you've got a real one it'd be dumb not to actually use it! Don't you like your name? Is that it?
no subject
It's Sakuraba Neku.
[... it's a very cute name for such a grumpypuss]
no subject
[ Her smile is almost disarmingly sunny. ]
Oh and don't think you've gotta be formal or anything just because of the goddess stuff. Just call me Honoka-chan and I'll call you Neku-kun and then we'll come up with one of those other names for you together! How's that?
no subject
He sighs, mostly is resignment]
You sure are assuming a lot.
no subject
[ It's impossible to tell if she's playing dumb or if she really is that oblivious to the prickliness. ]
no subject
[At least that leaves open the possibility of friendship]
no subject
[ don't think you can logic your way out of this one, Neku ]
I'd rather try and be friendly right from the start and get along that way!
no subject
Alright... Honoka-chan. But if it doesn't work out I'll just call you by your god name.
[He will full on un-name you girl, don't think he won't]
no subject
[ And then she sticks her hand out to shake, to seal the deal. Sorry Neku, you're stuck with this one. ]
no subject
[Is that a smile? Maybe. He even shakes her hand]
Speaking of names, let's get that taken care of.
no subject
[ This is the girl who thought "Land, Sea and Air" was a good name for an idol group. ]
It's gonna have -ki at the end, right? So that kinda limits our options too. Got any ideas?
no subject
[He ponders- he's not amazing at naming things either]
Well, my name starts with Ne and the alternate reading of that is On. It means sound. That'd be easy to remember, right?
no subject
[ She rolls the word over her tongue as she says it, trying it out for herself -- then she tilts her head at Neku. ]
How do you like it?
no subject
no subject
This way, we've only gotta use it if we really need to!
no subject
So, let's make it official then.
no subject
[ a pause. ]
Uh, how do we do that?
[ AMAZING ]
no subject
no subject
[ she does not know ]
It'll be here in the pamphlet, right? So I just, uh-- gimme a sec!
[ And into the pamphlet her face disappears. Behold your god, Neku. ]
no subject
no subject
[ And up she pops, with a big smile. She still looks sort of uncertain, though. ]
I think I gotta hold my hand out and say some stuff so um... get ready!
[ She sticks her hand out and, in a tone that suggests she's remarkably uncomfortable with this level of ceremony: ]
My name is Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto. Grasping thy true name, I bind thee here. With borrowed name, I dub thee my servant. The name answers, the vessel to sound. I call thee as my divine instrument. The name, Neku Saraba. The vessel, On. Come, Onki!
