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~

[Not quite keeping track of Ronald, due to most of his focus being set upon the rather sharp toothed one, Tenya did bump into Ronald.

At least he didn't look like he was going to take a bite out of him.]

Hm... I was born with engines in my calves. It's a family trait and it helps me with my speed. My older brother has a familiar trait though his engines are placed on his elbows.

[untodeath]

Engines?

[ Whatever predatory smile Grell previously donned on her face has given way to pure confusion. Looking to Ronald, she wonders if he's following this any better! ]

Your poor mother....

[diehardreaper]

[ ....Cue confused look on his face. Nope. He's as lost as you are, Grell. ]

....Was your father a motorcar?

[ ......Ron ]

[brains_beef_and_brows]

[... What? What is wrong with being born with unusual tendencies? From his point of view it is more unusual to be born normal, and at least he still looks human- unlike some of his classmates!]

No? My Father is human, just like I am? Perhaps you have not hurt of things called quirks? In that case I would be more then happy to tell you about them! From my home, around 80% of the world's population is born with an unique trait or talent and some of them do grant others unusual body traits. For example one of my classmates has the head of a bird and then there is one who is completely invisible!

[ There's so many quips that could have been made here, but each time, this guys says something completely unexpected.

Mouth briefly opening, Grell finds herself rethinking her words before she speaks. ]

So, you mean to say that your mother was the motorcar!

[diehardreaper]

[ And a snap of his fingers. ]

That's prolly it! If his mum was the car--

[ He's not even going to follow that train of thought. Where did his dad even... how was this boy even...

Nope, let's... set that aside. One arm slinging around the boy's shoulders though. Mhm. Nice and broad. Hime should meet this guy. ]

Can't say I've never heard of a quirk though, mate. Sounds awful convenient, even for this world.
