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~

[While Shun doesn't doubt Hakkai is the kind of person who could and potentially would take extreme measures, he can't exactly say it for certain. He doesn't really know him well enough, so he just shrugs.]

Nothing that noteworthy. I just don't like him or trust him. [Well, at least he's honest...?]
demonsheath: (Of course sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-08-29 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Honesty is a virtue, for better or worse. Against Shun's luck is that Hannah had learned that she and the Hakkai were actually quite similar- Judging from their short interaction. ]

Well, it's not like I'll be discarding your opinion. The others you do like and trust?
revolutionfalcon: (declaration of intent)

[personal profile] revolutionfalcon 2017-08-30 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Dali I haven't spoken to enough to make a judgement call. Aidos seems to get on with most people. It's down to you which one you think is best, anyway.

[So even if she decides to go for Hakkai while not being desperate, he probably won't judge too hard.]
demonsheath: (Right away sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-08-30 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
True, though I'll still properly consider the guidance you've provided.

[ It may come down to a question of whether she wanted to involve or implicate a good person with her actions. It didn't matter if those actions were good or bad; just interacting with them could color their reputations to certain people. ]
revolutionfalcon: (about time)

[personal profile] revolutionfalcon 2017-08-31 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a slight hum of acceptance at that remark, and Shun looks over her once more. Regardless of issues with her god, he feels like all shinki should at least have the same baseline to work from.]

If there's any information he hasn't passed on to you yet, I might be able to answer questions.
demonsheath: (Naturally sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-09-02 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Fortunately, thanks to the brochure and other helpful shinki and gods, such as yourself, most of my questions have been answered. At least the ones pertaining to this particular situation.

[ Then there were the questions that she probably shouldn't ask for a little while. At least at this point. ]
revolutionfalcon: (last chance)

[personal profile] revolutionfalcon 2017-09-02 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That's something. [The brochures have made it a little easier to get a decent amount of information without relying on a god. It's something he's fairly grateful for at this point.

With a slight nod, he starts to turn away, still keeping an eye on her.]
I'll leave you to it, then. At least I know who to ask if I ever need to learn how to use firearms.
demonsheath: (Right away sir)

[personal profile] demonsheath 2017-09-03 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure it's wise to ask someone without full awareness of training for such help, but I won't turn you away.

[ After all, as far as she can remember, this is her first time holding a gun. Obviously she has in the past, which is why she isn't saying no, but it was a gentle way of telling him to exercise caution.

Now that she's done that, a small mix of a curtsy and slight bow is given as it seems he was done. ]
revolutionfalcon: (about time)

[personal profile] revolutionfalcon 2017-09-03 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Better than someone who doesn't know how to use the weapon at all. [And while it may be a bit risky to actually mention, in his experience, shinki tend to pick up skills they had in life very quickly. If she still feels unfamiliar with guns now, he doubts it'll last long.

With a slight incline of the head by way of farewell, he takes his leave.]
