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~

[priforprince]

I suppose.

[ If one were to judge purely by the presence, and not the quality, of results. But this is hardly suitable conversation for meeting a lovely young lady.

So she smiles. ] It's provided one major blessing, at least.

[challengesfate]

Has it?

[Still kind of oblivious over here.]

[priforprince]

[ SHE TOOK THE CUE god Hibiki's good at this.

She places a hand over her heart. ] It allowed us to meet.

[ yesssss ]

[challengesfate]

Oh.

[A blink.]

Well, I do suppose creating new bonds is imperative for our success in this world.

[priforprince]

[ .... ]

You're a practical mademoiselle.

[challengesfate]

I...have been told many times that I am practical-minded.

[They seem to be getting along...?]

[priforprince]

Discerning minds are exactly what we require.

[ Due to the aforementioned....yeah. ]

Your intelligence shall snip the weeds of foolishness in the gardens of the Far Shore.

[challengesfate]

I suppose it could...though, I'm afraid I know others who would be far better suited to the job.

[priforprince]

[ Modesty. None of that is required in Hibikiland. ]

And what job are you suited for?

[challengesfate]

Well...I have always been well-suited to the sword. And I often find myself leading campaigns and attacks...

[priforprince]

You've led an eventful life.

[ Another historical home world, she sees. ]

[challengesfate]

It could be seen that way, I suppose.

[Eh, it's necessary.]

At the very least, things are at peace. I...don't think I would be able to find myself able to lend a hand in this realm if things in my own were still tumultuous.

[priforprince]

[ "Tumultous"....Be still Hibiki's fluttering chest. ]

Your speech reflects that peacefulness. The refined lack of sentence enders returns my heart to calmer times.

[challengesfate]

Ah...well, I'm glad to be of service. If possible, all should feel a calmness in their hearts.

[priforprince]

That is my wish as well.

[ Or, well, Hibiki is more about keeping a calmness in Hibiki's heart, but whatever. ] Is there any way I may serve you, in return?

[challengesfate]

Me? I...can't think of anything at the moment. For now, just getting to know another person seems enough to me.

[priforprince]

Then, feel free to ask me anything.

[ Hibiki and foresight are not friends. ]
