"Hard-core" Training. [Open-to-all.]
Who: (Future) Trunks and whoever is interested! Open to all.
When: October 22nd.
Where: Open Grounds (and Sky) near Caireen's Temple.
What: An open area and invitation for some harder-training than is usually done during the intro-events.
Bishamon was always kind enough every month to open part of her temple and its grounds for new shinki and gods, and Trunks was grateful for that. But he was also pretty sure he, and a few others he could think of, would appreciate a training session or two that wasn't geared towards most of the new arrivals. (Not that there was anything wrong with new arrivals, or those who weren't as skilled as others. They all had to learn.) Fortunately, he also had an understanding Goddess, who had decent space around her temple-grounds, and who knew he'd take care of clean-up and everything else.
Especially since some of the platforms and structure's they'd used from the game of hide-and-seek were still placed around. Celestia'd been kind enough to help Trunks with forming clouds into various loops and shapes to provide some obstacles there too. Clearly marking the space closest to Caireen's temple as off-limits, just in case as well.
It still left them lots of open ground on the edge of the forest, the beach-area, and the sky. Perfect, as far as he was concerned. Word-of-mouth, mostly making sure to stop by and visit friends he knew would be interested (like Snow and Goten) the date he was planning this, and then just setting things up.
He didn't have animated straw-dummies, but then--most of the people he was expecting were far beyond straw-dummy level.]

I do actually have some idea, meta-wise, of what the course is like.
His own smile turned slightly cocky in turn. "Try me." Challenge accepted, and he's not waiting, just kicking off the ground. Heading up to the area Celestia had marked as the starting point. The course overall had a vaguely ancient and dignified vibe, with columns and pillars formed of clouds, accented by swirls. The 'starting line' itself was a long strand of cumulus between two such shaped-pillars.
The first part of the course lead into a long straight-away, for speed and testing ones limits. At the furthest end of the long straightaway, a curve of gray-cloudwall was seen and forming an outer boundary. If people didn't react quickly enough however, they were in danger of running into a much larger gray storm-cloud, heavy with water. They could of course, go up or go under it-if they were fast enough, while racing.
That same large gray cloudwall forming the boundary of their course in a large curve around the obstacle too.
