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.
Someone has brought two overflowing boxes of back issues of From Ama, the Heavenly magazine, which includes profiles of successful shinki and gods, historical tidbits, and the occasional magazine quiz to help shinki determine how well they're currently working with their god or what their greatest strength might be.
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.
This month, a clever shinki magician has created a dozen straw-stuffed training dummies, some with sword-length sticks and some with polearm-length sticks, that have been enchanted to really fight back. Unfortunately, the spell isn't perfect yet! They're good training partners, but sometimes they might go a little haywire and try to smack passersby.
Rest and Refreshments
- Along with bottled water, there are several large boxes of energy drinks and vitamin drinks in small amber glass bottles, and an array of protein bars and meal bars. One particular shinki in white, a bespectacled twentysomething man, is explaining the health benefits of everything on the table (even the water!) with great enthusiasm to any guest who looks even a little confused. It takes great tact to discourage him.
Party games have been set up on the lawn near the refreshments table: Twister, Kubb, lawn Jenga, and more.

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
- Play some games
- Spectate if you want
- Have fun~

[Once he got a basic idea of the situation, that was more or less it for Kagaho's interest in engaging with what's going on here. He's found a place to stand that's well out of the way of the other shinki chatting and practicing borderlines together. He'd leave entirely if he had anywhere to go, but instead he's somehow made himself a magnet for people who are trying to be helpful by asking him if he needs help and handing him more pamphlets than anyone needs.
He snarls at the latest one, even though he takes their pamphlet in hopes they'll leave him alone. When they look satisfied and leave, that's when he flips through the little glossy pages of the pamphlets and realizes he can't read a word of it. Or maybe just can't read at all. It's not like he remembers.]
This is a waste of my time.
[He drops all the pamphlets on the ground and steps on them out of frustration.]
Physical Training
[It doesn't really matter that the dummy can fight back or that it's movements are a little erratic. Actually, that makes it better to take his frustrations out on. And that's exactly what Kagaho is doing.
He's already downed one of the dummies and he's relentlessly pummeling the next one, barehanded and without any apparent concern for his own safety. It's unpleasant to watch, which is why the shinki supervising look like they'd like to stop him, but aren't quite sure if it's a good idea...]
Refreshments
[Kagaho is probably one of the only people willingly eating the protein bars. They taste like crap, but they're food and there's a lot of them. In fact, every time they put more out, he grabs another handful.
It's probably not healthy.
You can tell where he's decided to park himself, too, because there's an ever growing pile of bars and bottles, like he's afraid he's not going to get his fair share.]

[ Hibiki is too dignified to wrinkle her nose. So she puts those feelings into the tone of her voice instead, speaking mostly to herself. ]
no subject
Are you volunteering to be next?
no subject
[ Hibiki lifts the teacup she's holding and takes a long, deliberate, apathetic sip of her tea. ]
no subject

They are, however, parted from their teacups in the process. The stick flies by where her head used to be as porcelain crashes on the ground. ]
2/2
Is that any way to treat an audience?!
no subject
[Obviously it doesn't bother him in the slightest that she's Offended. After all, he didn't ask for the audience, so what does it matter to him how they get treated?]
no subject
[ Yes, they're not in showbiz. But they are divine. Which amounts to much of the same thing, and as long as an argument makes sense to Hibiki she's never been much bothered whether it makes sense to other people. ]
I want to speak to your god!
[ there's no way you aren't a shinki, right ]
no subject
[To be honest, he hasn't made much of an effort to seek them out, either. If it's so important to them to have him around, they can come find him. It's not like he even wants to be here in the first place.]

refreshments
Are you alright?
no subject
[Instinctively, he puts himself between her and his growing stockpile of food. He may not remember who he was before he got here, but something in his brain is equating the need to eat with a fear of starvation.]
no subject
I do not mean to be prying, I was only concerned. Besides, The Subject doesn't need to eat, I'm not human.
no subject
[And to a certain extent he actually means that genuinely. It'd be a lot easier, after all. He's pretty sure he never benefited from being human.]
no subject
[She almost says that he's alive, but... he isn't.]
no subject
[Honestly, he shouldn't trust the food, either, but he's already dead, so it's not like it can kill him.]
no subject
[It sounds simple enough for her, but perhaps it's not for him.]
no subject
[It's really the perfect way to have someone at your mercy. Take away literally everything they have and say you'll provide for them. After all, if he decides he doesn't like this, where exactly is he going to go?]

shinki training
[But Chikusa isn't really protesting. He doesn't even have a pamphlet to offer. Instead, he's just slouched against a wall, watching things idly.]
no subject
[He grinds the papers with his heel.]
Then they can send me back.
no subject
[A considering pause, his gaze drifting away.]
...Unless you let yourself be murdered, maybe.
no subject
[He may not remember anything about who he was before he arrived here, but he got the message loud and clear that this is Heaven and the only way he'd be here is if he's dead. And that seems like the right answer, one that there is no more need to think about.]
no subject
Who knows... But souls can be made into nothing.... or eaten.
no subject
[Little does he know...]
no subject
[Different religions, atheism, all of that.]
Anyway.... Deal with it.
