What: Information and Training
When: September 15th
Where: Bishamon's temple, the Far Shore
Summary: Training and informational sessions for newly arrived gods and shinki
Gods and shinki arriving at heaven's meeting hall are, should they allow it, guided to Bishamon's temple, where a reception area and a traditionally styled dojo and training ground have been made available for the day. 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 Western-styled reception hall within Bishamon's temple 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 shinki volunteers, both in the white-and-gold of Amaterasu's shinki and in Bishamon's red-piped black uniforms, are stationed around the dojo, passing out helpful informational pamphlets. They will be happy to instruct the newcomers in the use of the borderline as well as offering an explanantion 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.
An area of the practice ground has been marked off for shinki to practice borderlines against one another. There are several big buckets filled with beanbags that have been generously dusted with colored chalk powder. Shinki can pair up and practice throwing beanbags at one another while trying to deflect the beanbags with a borderline.
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.
- Rabbit Mask.
- Volcanic Stone.
- Sneakers, 21.5cm.
- Cloth Blindfold.
- Moon Cake.
- Badminton Paddle.
- Calligraphy Brush.
- Red Maple Leaf.
- Blue Teacup.
- Gray Shirt.
A table towards one side of the training area, manned by two of Amaterasu's shinki in white and gold, has a stack of big tote bags and a scavenger-hunt list taped down to the table. It's a chance for gods to practice teamwork with their new shinki, or just have a little fun while helping newcomers learn their way around the Heavens. The list reads:
Rest and Refreshments
- The weather is nice, but there are still plenty of tables of bottled water or bottled sports drinks provided to ensure that no one gets dehydrated. Plates of small snacks are also available, mostly seasonally appropriate ones like rice cakes, mikan oranges, roasted chestnuts and toasted crackers, but also candy and snack bars.
Some leftover party games from the moon viewing are set up in a grassy area of the gardens, and Bishamon's younger shinki are eagerly playing tag, blind-man's buff, badminton and flying kites there. They'll happily welcome anyone who wants to join in, although those who wander too far past the party games into the gardens may find themselves greeted by one of the adult shinki who will politely usher them back to the training area.
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
- Complete a scavenger hunt
- Spectate if you want
- Have fun~

Too bad then she has to go and ask the question he'd rather not mull over. ]
Eh, lying is not really my style, if that's what you're asking. [ But dodging questions, evading answers, or straight up shutting up is totes allowed. Don't trust a Servant. ] But aren't all shinki not-human at this point?
[ He might not have the mental blockade when talking about this stuff with shinki not of his own, but it still feels wrong. How much do they know? Are they aware gods know about their deaths? If not, he doesn't want to be the one to give out that information ]
Is this revelation really that troubling?
no subject
[ The lines were blurred, but there was a distinction between one and the other. They had a different sense compared to other kinds, though she hasn't figured out exactly what all of those kinds were. ]
It's not the revelation. I'm a demon, and that's just a fact of what I am, which I finally know. It's the loops my god had went through, along with his clear distaste for my very existence, that I am both vexed and disappointed in how they are likely connected. The fact that I am still sound and myself proves that it wasn't sensitive information that I shouldn't know.
[ So it wasn't about what or who she was- it was about the kind of person her god was. ]
no subject
Then there is that "demon" thing. ]
You don't really get along with your master, huh? No chance for flowers, apology and "sorry for being a dick"-
[ Being displaced from reality puts things into a strange perspective- whatever she was and she had done during her life doesn't matter here. It's a god's burden to bear it the best they can. Or let the shinki go and allow them to find better-suited place. ]
Not to defend him, but maybe he's just afraid of you? [ Demons do come with certain, how to say, reputation ]
no subject
[ Meaning that there was no fondness there for her since the beginning. Now, for better or worse, she was going to have William face that and at least provide whatever answers he could.
Also, she has no clue about this reputation. Would you like to educate her? ]
It's not fear that he regards me with, sir. His contempt is calm, measured, and with something else that I can't quite describe just yet. Just as he was when he gave my vessel name.
[ When she cleaned his suit, he didn't burn it in a panic or with fear- he did so like it was nothing more than trash at this point. At the very least, she's regarding this as if it were stated fact, instead of colored with the taste of bitterness or anything of that sort. ]
no subject
[ This is what baffles him in this whole situation the most. According to what she's saying, her god is kind of a cold asshole. Sure, demons and the whole thing- you can get biased against that. Creatures of darkness, dark forces and so on. But gods and shinki are not glued by their hip together-forever. ]
If I couldn't bear to work with my shinki, I'd rather let them go.
[ Caster shakes his head and throws the hood on for no good reason at all. There was someone asking on the network once, on exactly this dilemma. But what if the god doesn't want to let the shinki go? ]
A woman like you would have no problem in finding more compatible god. [ Demon or not - if he's not judging that part there will be others who won't as well. ]
no subject
[ It's a very responsible hatred that William has. She just doesn't understand it properly.
There's something about this god, however. It's not just those eyes or overall appearance. It was something more, with a sense she has but doesn't completely understand. Perhaps he was another option, to set after some others. Though it's always possible he'd go higher up on that list if he proved to be more interesting. ]
No problem at all, that's true. I've already found a few.
no subject
But then she says something that can be taken in two different ways, and he chooses to follow the more favorable interpretation. ]
So half of the job is done - if you already found someone who for a change wants to work with you. Now it's the hard part left to take care of. [ Aka to convince her god to release her from the service. He makes a show of pondering, rubbing his chin thoughtfully while making a drawn "mhhhmm" sound ] So what's his name?
[ If he notices a hint of something like curiosity, he makes no sign that he does. He probably would if he knew it's because she's noticing the fact that he's not exactly human, but alas he assumes it's because he's trying to help. ]
no subject
A delicate brow raises as he seems to have made a decision and requested for William's name. Was he really going to try and take this into his own hands?
What a 'hero.' ]
The hard part you speak of isn't necessary. However, if you truly wish to speak with him, he acts as the goddess Ma'at, as you'll find him in the directory.
[ Did he truly believe that she should break the bond to create more with those who would welcome her services? ]
I suppose you're not lacking for shinki, are you, sir...?
no subject
Mhhm, I suppose? I've got two. Both are good, dedicated men. It's an honor to work with them.
[ Not that he would mind a beautiful woman as a shinki, but he'd also feel bad for one too - there's a terrible sausage-fest in his temple. ]
You've mentioned you were considering few other gods already. [ So is this question what he thinks it is? ]
no subject
[ There's probably something strange about the smile she has right now. Though it won't be long before she explains why. ]
I've approached a couple on my list and they've named me, yes. Their situations are such where they don't exactly have the best shinki at hand. Either they're soulless or considering a change in gods due to their own happiness.
no subject
[ He already made his mind about noras, there is no denying that. Albeit hearing her story puts it into perspective a bit. If a God treats a shinki with disdain, it might not be surprising when said shinki seeks others to serve and be of value. There is even a very pragmatic underline to it - just as she mentioned, some deal with soulless shinki, others might have lost their own. It’s understandable, but.. well, oath is an oath. Though he’s more concerned about keeping his own, than judging others from not upkeeping theirs. ]
That’s no way to live. [ He doesn’t sugarcoat his opinion on the subject. But he does recognize how her God might have forced her hand. Speaking of which, that’s what he needs to confirm. ] Think you’d keep that up if you got a better god?
no subject
Yes, actually. There's a unique kind of safety that comes with multiple names. If the nature of these bonds were different, however, I'd be more likely to have stayed with just one.
[ If there were something on the line that she'd receive in return, then she would see this as more than just a mutually beneficial deal. At that point it'd be like a paid contract. ]
no subject
Pointless drivel, all of it if not for the principles. ]
You better mean it, lady...? [ Yeah, haven't caught your name yet ] I assume your little "safety net" isn't to be spoken of?
[ Wondering idly how it would work as an argument to that Ma'at. "You better deal with this situation or you're both putting a lot more of us in danger", hah. ]
no subject
[ If she were going to be addressed properly, by being called a 'lady.' Though that was unlikely the case. ]
The name I go by is Hannah Annafellows. As for my safety, I'm not sure whom you'd speak of it to. My god?
[ There's a smile to her expression- one that can only be for someone who knows what they've been doing all too well. As she said, if the nature of their bonds were different, it'd be only William no matter how cruel or dismissive he was. This served them all better. ]
I assure you, my god is well aware of my work. As his primary and only shinki, I follow the spirit and words of his standing orders.
no subject
Hmm, I see. [ Caster hums thoughtfully. He didn't expect to hear that this god allows his shinki to nora. ] I suppose that makes it easier - just wanted to make sure if it's not something that's a secret from here or what-. I will talk to him, as promised
[ He's not going to back on his word after all. But he's really wondering if what he got into isn't a bit over his head ]
