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~

Someone of your sensibilities likely wouldn't.

[ You probably actually dig with that shovel she gave you. You probably get dirt on it.

Well, that's fine. Presents are for those given them to use as they wish. She shall accept you exactly as you are. This is how noble she is. ]

[kokuyoyo]

I mean. I'm not getting killed by stopping in the middle of the training area...

[So his sensibilities seem pretty fine. Although speaking of-]

You're going to get hit if you stand there.

[priforprince]

[ Hibiki sniffs: much obliged. ] Projectiles and such pose no danger to a genius's reflexes.

[kokuyoyo]

....And yet you're just standing around doing nothing... So I doubt it.

[Shittalking is a free action right]

[priforprince]

That's the definition of genius.

[ Either "doesn't need to train reflexes" or "stands around doing nothing". Your pick. ]

[kokuyoyo]

...Doing nothing?

[Because yeah of course that's what he'd say]

[priforprince]

[ She didn't see that coming. Somehow. ]

.....I suppose I should leave you to your efforts instead.

[ She just keeps being wronger and wronger about things. ]

[kokuyoyo]

I mean... I don't really train much at these sort of things anymore, so....

[He's just here to read books, harass people, and see how much food he can steal.]

[priforprince]

The activities that most please you, then.

[ Though you don't strike her as the sort who, like certain other individuals who are not here to train, hang around sizing people up for possible inclusions in their plans for popular-music-based Revolution. ]

Whatever those may be.

[kokuyoyo]

And yours is being traumatized by words....

[Pausing, he raises an eyebrow at her.]

Why do you even come here...?

[priforprince]

[ To hang around sizing people up for possible inclusion in her plans for popular-music-based Revolution. Obviously.

And yet, she's currently despairing of that, so: ]

Who knows?

[ A glance out over the...performances....on display.

Why does she even bother. ]

[kokuyoyo]

....Well. Good luck with not dying from your weird thing...

[And he shuffles off again.]

[priforprince]

[ Hibiki snorts and heads in the opposite direction. She has a different sort of headache now. ]
