December Training

Who: Everyone
What: Information and Training
When: September 25th
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.

    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~

[ That unrealized shield became a lot more useful than he expected, that's for sure!

Having not looked at the time, it's not until there's a sudden appearance of light around him as the offensive line smacks into the borg- and immediately shatters it, which knocks Judar back a few more feet onto his ass. (It wasn't a strong shield.) It's the only moment where Chikusa can see part of the character under Judar's foot that is the shinki name he was given.

Damn that hurt. ]


The fuck was that?

[ Was- No, no way. Was it really that brat with the hand? He didn't hear anything get called out. Wait- So you don't have to call it out? Shit. ]

Hey, how long did it take for you to do it silently?
kokuyoyo: (Apparently I kept telling people I was)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-12-22 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[It sure was the brat with the hand. The hand which is now flopping back down to his side limply, completely unassuming and as if he totally didn't just attack someone out of nowhere.]

[Interesting to realize the use of a shield, however... Subconscious, it has to be. It doesn't seem like the other guy has realized it was there, or that his sign was visible for at least half a second. Just not enough to realize the whole deal, but still...]

[Slowly, he blinks.]


A while. [How helpful.] It takes... constant repetition and practice. So.... how much you care to do that.

[personal profile] kuroi_taiyo 2017-12-22 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ For as long as he was barefoot, Judar always had the risk of showing his sign. He hasn't even realized the importance of keeping it hidden- especially around assholes that like to fling spells at unsuspecting people. ]

Great. Because I didn't have enough to figure out and work on as it was.

[ He's finally getting back up onto his feet, brushing his backside off and shaking the dirt off of his braid. ]

So do you always fling magic at new people, or are you just being a dick this one time?

[ It'd be funny if this was at anyone but him. ]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-12-22 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
You'll have to suck it up.

[At least, if he wants to develop a sturdy borderline and one that can be sent out without saying a word. In the meanwhile, Chikusa watches the other shinki get up onto his feet dully.]

....Definitely not the first.

[So he's always a dick.]
kuroi_taiyo: (53)

[personal profile] kuroi_taiyo 2017-12-23 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Well that's comforting to know.

[ Let's see, did he get everything? Looks like it. ]

I bet I'll figure it out and get it done faster than you did. So I'll get to paying you back for that in no time.
kokuyoyo: (And the cops are back.)

...No you won't.

[It's not even said arrogantly. Just. Matter of factly, in that same quiet and dull tone.]
kuroi_taiyo: (43)

[personal profile] kuroi_taiyo 2017-12-23 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Like hell I won't.

[ Someone has more confidence in his abilities than one would think for having just arrived. ]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-12-23 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Then you're in hell.

[Chikusa's voice is dry enough to make fucking tinder.]

Congrats.
kuroi_taiyo: (63)

[personal profile] kuroi_taiyo 2017-12-23 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'll tear down and destroy hell to make it happen anyway.

[ Because fuck that. ]

What's with that dumbass hat anyway? You look like a fucking tool.
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-12-23 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Your face is a tool...

[So fuck off about it, buddy.]
kuroi_taiyo: (42)

[personal profile] kuroi_taiyo 2017-12-23 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
... Is that the best you got?

[ That sounds like something a little kid would resort to saying. ]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-12-23 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
It's the most I want to waste effort on.

[After all, why bother besides that?]
kuroi_taiyo: (4)

[personal profile] kuroi_taiyo 2017-12-29 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Then why bother in the first place if you're not even that committed?

[ He's a little surprised that there's a first place here. ]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2018-01-02 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Why are you bothering to learn magic if you'll fail at it?

[Look what he manages with when he bothers.]
kuroi_taiyo: (42)

[personal profile] kuroi_taiyo 2018-01-02 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Gotta figure out the rules and what kind of leeway there is to really mess around with the whole thing.

[ It was almost better than the last one, brat. He'll enjoy bothering and goading you when he figures out this and the other kinds of magic that's around. ]
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2018-01-02 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm....

[And in response, he's just going to shoot another borderline at him. Time to see if he can make this guy's feet kick up again for that symbol he's sure he saw...]
kuroi_taiyo: (28)

[personal profile] kuroi_taiyo 2018-01-02 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He sees and recognizes the action enough to bring up his hand with the wand in it. It's more instinct than skill at this point that has the shield come up, and promptly shatter again as he's knocked back again.

No luck this time, as he learned from the last knockback and adjusted to land on his feet and knees this time. Though there's a clear look of 'the fuck is wrong with you' on the older teen's face. ]


You doing this with a goal in mind or what?
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2018-01-02 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Darn. He's learned. What a shame. Chikusa tilts his head to the side.]

Do I need one?

[Another line, this time at Judar's feet. This is also good training for him, too, in a way. Not everyone will just strip like Rin did.]
kuroi_taiyo: (63)

[personal profile] kuroi_taiyo 2018-01-02 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's certainly got him backing up as the other kind of shield once against protects him from the attack and shatters once again. Which seems to be wearing him out as much as it's knocking him back. Pretty soon he's going to end up against a wall or something.

The placement did get him off his feet this time, though it's got the one with the shinki name on it laid flat on the ground. ]


It already looks like you do. The hell's your deal; something against bare feet?

[ Oh yeah, he noticed where you were aiming. ]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2018-01-02 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Close but no cigar. That shield is definitely interesting. He'll have to keep it in mind if he ever gets into a more serious fight with this guy. It's the most troublesome sort of thing to go against with his regular needles...]

[Another line, followed swiftly by a second one. Maybe that will work?]


Bare feet make an easy target. Especially for Far Shore denizens....

[Not a lie, considering ayakashi.]
kuroi_taiyo: (3)

[personal profile] kuroi_taiyo 2018-01-03 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Like the previous times, the shield game up and shattered against the first line as the second hits and gets the newly arrived shinki off and onto his side. Groaning in pain, he's slowly moving to get back up.

However, one shitty teen gets to see the what's on the heel of the other shitty teen. ]


Sounds like a good excuse to be a dick to people.

[ If this were towards other people and not him, you'd be pretty cool in his book. Definitely someone to contact to cause up some fun. Right now he's thinking of ways to get revenge. ]
kokuyoyo: <user name="tigerparty"> (I woke up with a yoyo in my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2018-01-03 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That too.

[Points for honesty...?]

[Still, that's exactly what he needed to see, and Chikusa stops the borderline attacks. Alright, what would be best? The last time he tricked someone (""tricked""), he used Bind.... Ah.]

[With his hand still pointed at Judar, Chikusa comes to a decision.]


...A lesson on magic... there are more spells than borderlines.

[And he casts Silence.]
