August Training

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~

[Prompto looks at his hand, looks at Chikusa's, and makes some minute adjustment that probably doesn't even make a difference, and tries once more with feeling.]

Line!

[And for a second, he feels like maybe he tapped into something... but nope.]

Awww, I swear I almost had it that time!
kokuyoyo: (I don't do stupid things anymore.)

[With demonstration done with, Chikusa's hand swings back down, and he gives a sigh.]

If it's not the form, then it's probably your thinking...

[He sighs.]

Oh, of course. It's my whole process that's wrong, not something easy to fix just by looking... Uggghhh.

[Aw, life is so hard.]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-08-25 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Get over it.

[HELPFUL, RIGHT...]

This is the only weapon shinki are guaranteed... So you'll need to learn if you don't want to get eaten...
photoshooter: (GASP 📷 NANI???)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-08-26 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
E-eaten?!

[(`〇Д〇)!!!]

No one said anything about getting eaten!
kokuyoyo: (I mean I don't even call it a hangover)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-08-28 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Has no one told you about ayakashi....

[Chikusa reaches up to adjust his glasses, not seeming impressed. They have a pamphlet now, don't they?]

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-08-29 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I heard they're made out of people's bad emotions and we might have to fight them, but they didn't say what they did!

[This is so not what he wants Heaven to be like!]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-08-31 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
...Ah.... I suppose they might not eat you....

[A long drifting pause.]

They might inflict you with so much blight that you'd become an ayakashi as well.

[He's helping.]
photoshooter: (FLUMP 📷 He's beauty he's grace)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-09-01 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
I don't want to become an ayakashi! I don't want to become anything! I-I've got my hands full learning how to be what I already am!

[WHY THIS]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-09-03 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Then learn how to make a borderline.

[BOOM, SIMPLE.]
photoshooter: (SAD PUPPY 📷 Old Yeller dies...?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2017-09-10 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
O-okay...

[He looks like a kicked puppy. A scared kicked puppy. Definitely not whimpering internally with those sad blue eyes, Prompto swallows and tries again.]

L--line...!

[Somehow, this is even worse than before.]
kokuyoyo: (And the cops are back.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-09-12 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's.... sure something...]

...You don't have a lot of will, do you...
