October Training
Who: Everyone
What: Information and Training
When: September 4th
Where: Meeting Hall, 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.
It seems Bishamon's temple is unavailable this week due to business, although she has generously allowed a number of her shinki to go on with their usual tasks of passing out pamphlets and assisting the newcomers to settle in.
Gods and shinki arriving at heaven's meeting hall are, should they allow it, guided kindly towards a traditional-style dojo and banquet hall towards the back of the meeting hall itself. 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.

It seems Bishamon's temple is unavailable this week due to business, although she has generously allowed a number of her shinki to go on with their usual tasks of passing out pamphlets and assisting the newcomers to settle in.
Gods and shinki arriving at heaven's meeting hall are, should they allow it, guided kindly towards a traditional-style dojo and banquet hall towards the back of the meeting hall itself. 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
- Newly arrived gods are escorted into a banquet hall for an informational meeting covering the basics of proper god behavior, although the minor deity conducting the meeting is in too much of a rush to take questions afterwards. They are encouraged to discuss the information with each other and ask questions of more experienced gods, as well as instructed to guide their new shinki appropriately.
Shinki Training
- Various volunteers are stationed around the dojo, 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. Shinki are encouraged to work together to practice what they've learned and discuss their perspectives.
The garden is available for borderline practice, and a few of the last training's slightly tattered crayon-drawn borderline targets have been brought back out and pinned to bales of straw to make a practice area. One of Amaterasu's shinki is drawing replacements with a large inked calligraphy brush. His targets are simple but elegant, but somehow, before they make it over to the target bales, they're ending up crayon-scribbled into much brighter colors. Maybe it's the child shinki who are in charge of putting them up? They do seem to be giggling a lot, and Amaterasu's artist shinki is looking more and more annoyed...
Physical Training
- The dojo is stocked with a wide variety of practice weapons, traditional and modern, to offer some practice opportunity to 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.
There's an additional task that the hosts are more than willing to ask for help with. The Meeting Hall seems to be suffering an invasion of cute soot sprites. Although they're harmless little spirits, they leave smears of ash and soot wherever they go, and the shinki are running themselves ragged trying to keep the hardwood floors and white walls clean! They're handing out cleaning rags and flyswatters to squash the soot sprites flat and scrub the resulting smears away -- and, for the softhearted, butterfly nets: although they implore anyone with a net to be sure they let the soot sprites out again far, far away.
Rest and Refreshments
- The meeting hall's facilities are less modernized than Bishamon's: there are rainwater barrels set out by the dojo with fresh towels for hardworking gods and shinki to wash their face and hands. The water is ice cold, so it's very refreshing, too-- brr!
By lunchtime, the banquet hall where the gods' informational session was held has been cleaned out and re-set with cushions to sit on around long, low tables. Gods and shinki who come inside for lunch will be served a plain but hearty meal, with soup, rice, fish and pickled vegetables to refresh them for the afternoon's training.
The hall will stay open even after the lunches and tables have been cleared away, so that those who want a quieter space to talk with their new partners can find somewhere in the room. Hopefully the occasional stampede of soot sprites won't be too distracting.
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
- Help catch soot sprite pests
- Spectate if you want
- Have fun~
R&R Act 2
You look like you're having a bad day. Why don't we make it a better one?
[There's so much wrong with this.]
no subject
She takes a good long look.
Then, taking the towel with her, she starts walking away. If she doesn't engage, maybe it doesn't exist.... ]
no subject
[Girls are weird, man.]
no subject
but her shoulders tighten as she walks. Calm. Stay...calm.... ]
no subject
[But he can take a hint, at least, even as it leaves him rubbing the back of his head awkwardly and wondering what her problem is.]
no subject
This puddle of water was not here two seconds ago. Hibiki slips, falling backwards... ]
no subject
[The sudden explosion of motion from him might as well occur instantaneously. In a heartbeat he is at her side, one hand in the small of her back in perfect combination of strength to catch her and gentleness to support her. The other catches her upturned hand. His cape billows out to frame the scene, the only thing that seems to move in that one moment.]
[Then he sets her gently back on her feet, releasing her hand and lowering his arm with a melodramatic half-turn.]
Your beauty might be too great for a mere fall to so much as tarnish it -- but cold shoulder or not, a man who could stand by and watch is no man I'd allow myself to be.
1/2
[ The lady has a much, much deeper voice than ladies tend to have. ]
2/2
Pathetic! Your timing is abysmal and your choreography worse.
[ She drops that hand, cocks her hips, plants her other hand on said hip. ] At least start the seduction while you're still holding the lady.
no subject
[Edge turns back to face her, flinging one arm out so said cape snaps back with a perfect snap.]
It's all about the flowing cloth! Plus the mask already adds the aura of mystery, so the turn away, utterly cool, plays off that. Now if I hadn't been wearing the mask, and could transfix you with my slight smile and frosty-smoldering gaze, sure, your plan works, but I'd be a fool not to play to my own aesthetic!
no subject
[ Hibiki scoffs. She's calmer, now that she knows what she's dealing with. ] Anyone who mistakes my role, and such, has no right for that word to pass between their lips.
[ An idiot.
She's dealing with an idiot. ]
no subject
[He has absolutely no idea who he was or what his role was in life, but he's certain it was way too awesome and cool for him to have died.]
no subject
"Roles are meant to be broken."
"Roles are meant to be broken."
Hibiki turns away. ]
....My head already hurts again.
no subject
no subject
[ The headache does not appear to be feigned. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Her head hurts so much. He's just. He's so stupid.
Hibiki has never seen a pot, nor a kettle. ]
no subject
....holy hell, you're stuck up! All I'm trying to do is ask you out and you're going between ignoring me, insulting me, and critiquing my style?! A simple 'no' would handle it just fine!
no subject
[ Shikyoin Hibiki understands cues.
Does that satisfy you? ]
no subject
[Edge turns. Edge cannot turn in this situation without way too dramatic of a cape-snap, so that is precisely what occurs as he stalks away.]
no subject
Ah well. Hibiki returns to her day, immediately forgetting that this happened.
Which will make running into him at any later dates an interesting experience. ]
