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~

Uh-huh...

[Typity type. Prompto copies the names into his little text file and beams at Tsuzuki.]

Thanks! I'll definitely show this to Lucina. And if we go and take any cool pictures, I'll make sure to show them off!

[sweetdeath]

You should! I'd love to see them.

[Tsuzuki grins back as he tucks his phone into his pocket.]

Hey -- wanna try that line again? Just to see.

[Since he's been thinking about plans with his goddess, and that kind of thing...]

[photoshooter]

Huh? Oh, uh, sure.

[He pauses, switching gears, then puts his phone away, takes a deep breath, and draws his fingers determinedly through the air.]

Line!

[He says it with more confidence this time, and maybe he almost has it, but--nope. Not today, at least. But he just breathes out and shakes his head with a good-natured smile.]

It's okay. I'll get it next time!

[Even if he hasn't got it down yet, his attitude surrounding the borderline issue's improved, at least.]

[sweetdeath]

I bet you will.

[He's getting some confidence, and that's the other important part of casting a borderline, Tsuzuki thinks with a smile.]

Anyway -- it's been nice meeting you! I should let you practice.

[photoshooter]

[Prompto may have started this day terrified and nervous, but with all the support he's gotten from all the other shinki and gods around, he actually feels like this is bound to be a good time.]

Nice meeting you too, man, you've been super helpful. Thanks for all the travel tips!

[sweetdeath]

My pleasure! Just show off your travel photos when you get back. See you around.

[Tsuzuki grins, and turns to go with a friendly wave.]
