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~

[Perhaps a long-lost sibling, or a cousin of some sort? Nah, it's gotta be a coincidence.]

Lucina, [The name is repeated with a smile, as sincere and disarming as possible.] An absolutely lovely name, it suits you perfectly. [As for herself,] Mine's Soleil. Have you been settling in well?

[For however much settling can be done in however many hours here, anyway.]

[challengesfate]

[Hm. Soleil, you really do seem to know your way around a compliment.]

Thank you. Yours seems to suit you, as well. [At the second question, she sort of half-nods, half-shrugs.] As well as I can. It was insisted I leave my temple before I could become to comfortable, but...I am beginning to get used to some things, here.

[mersunary]

[Well, someone in this family line was bound to be able to talk to people easily sooner or later. Good job sliding the compliment right back her way, though! If she wasn't already completely charmed, that would have done the trick for sure.]

Well, it's always good to know what sorts of things might be expected of you here. [So it's not like training is a bad thing, per se.] But there plenty of far more interesting places to check out when you have the time. If you'd like, maybe you could join me for tea, and I could show you around for a while?

[challengesfate]

[Hey, it's only fair. It IS true.]

Sure, I suppose we could. [It's super important to bond with the people you'll be working with, after all!] Might I ask, what kinds of interesting places?
