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~

[ Hannah had been considered strange ever since she took one of those children in, especially among the demons. Though that was because she showed the capability of love, which was seen as a strange obsession. Even if William carefully analyzed the scene he'd seen, it would probably be impossible for him to get the answers he wanted.

Now came the part that would probably be the worst for William. The fact that he had to experience her voice in his mind, though she was just a sword in his hand. A demon sword from a demon shinki. ]

It isn't the most standard of sword builds, this is true, sir. This should serve the purposes of handling ayakashi as described in the brochure, however.

[ There is, most certainly, a flinch as he hears Hannah's voice without seeing her speak. It's uncomfortable, but that will just have to be another thing he's forced to endure if he is to work along side this woman. ]

I have no experience with one, but I assume it cannot be that difficult to wield.

[ At least in terms of technique. There would be difficulty with other aspects, of course. ]

And you were given a second power, yes? Are you aware of what that is?

[demonsheath]

I'm sure I can help guide your hand. For now, hold it in a way that feels comfortable and secure, even if it requires both your hands for that. You'll likely adjust over time.

[ Though it would require William to allow that, instead of fighting the urge to keep control on the entire situation. For now, she can only provide advice without having anything to refer back to on that knowledge. ]

If I was given such a thing, it probably hadn't been created until you named me, sir. We'll have to figure that out over time. Most likely as my vessel form is used against opponents in the future.
