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 the Meeting Hall, where 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 what looks like an old, large warehouse behind the Meeting Hall for an informational meeting covering the basics of proper god behavior. Several chairs have been moved in, but they're squeezed together between packed shelves and boxes of old ritual clothing, scrolls and rusty or chipped household goods. A minor deity is giving the speech, and none of the white-robed shinki enter. 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 in the white-and-gold of Amaterasu's hosuehold 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 explanation 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.
Back copies of the "From Ama" magazine, including puff pieces about new or rising gods or successful shinki, advice columns for resolving problems between gods and shinki, temple photographs and other articles of interest to gods and shinki, have been brought out in boxes and piled up next to a table holding a few remaining copies of the shinki questionnaire for any new shinki who want to keep one around until they can answer the included questions.
- What is your name?
What is your god's name?
How do you see your duties as a shinki?
What is your favorite part of life with your god?
What is your least favorite part of life with your god?
What advice would you like to give your god?
Do you wish to be assigned to a different god? []Y []N
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. Several magically animated straw-stuffed training dummies, many of which have been carefully mended and patched with neat black stitching, are set up on the lawn with a white-robed shinki hovering nearby to watch over them. They make good training partners, although anyone who comes too close risks being targeted for a sparring match whether they wanted one or not.
The white-robed shinki are still busy cleaning and preparing the Meeting Hall for the big annual meeting of the gods. They'll recruit anyone who looks as though they're not too busy in order to help scrub floors, weed, sweep paths and walkways, and shoo away any unwelcome little spirits that are hiding away in dark corners of the hall. Heavy lifting is good exercise... right?
Rest and Refreshments
- There are casks of fresh, cold water near the dojo to make sure no one gets dehydrated, but for those who've finished working, hot tea and enough seasonal treats are available to make it look as though the Heavens bought out an entire sweet shop. They're being distributed by a few shinki in indigo-blue and plain brown robes with the sleeves tied back, who aren't above teasing the newcomers a bit.
Young shinki are playing in the nicely manicured garden, trying to catch crayfish at the lake edge, dashing around playing tag and hide-and-seek. Just be careful you don't get caught in the middle of a game of "Kagome"! If you do, you'll really be stuck until you guess someone's name.
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
- Enjoy a traditional tea
- Spectate if you want
- Have fun~

I don't know the names, but I think they're sweets.
[They smell like it, at least]
no subject
A moment's recollection tells him that sweets are meant to be on skewers, but he doesn't see any. Instead of looking for one, he merely projects something similar from his hand, pinning a green piece of mochi to the miniature spear. ]
... how is it green?
[ Curious. Do sweets come in all colours? ]
no subject
Maybe it's made with something green?
[Although mochi seems to come in various colors, so would that mean they're made with something of a different color? And what would they use? Confections are mysterious things]
no subject
Looks like it...
[ Ain takes a bite, noting how its sweetness is muted compared to the pink ones. ]
... tastes different, too.
no subject
Do you like it better than the pink ones?
[He might be a little invested in this sidequest, sue him]
no subject
Possibly...?
[ It's less sweet. The muted quality is something he thinks fits him, for a reason he can't explain. ]
no subject
[It seems to him that Ain might like green things.
And if that's the case...
He picks up a small paper plate and circles around the table, collecting green snacks]
no subject
He trails after the younger boy a few moments later. ]
Do you... want anything?
no subject
[He's on a mission, and he only halts when he's collected one of every green confection. With that accomplished, he turns and presents Ain with the plate of green goodies]
Here. Maybe you'll like one of these better.
[He isn't sure why, but this is important]
no subject
... why are you doing this?
no subject
[It's a simple thought, and easily explained.
At least, he thinks so]
no subject
Why....?
[ They're coworkers, that he can understand. But this seems like a step up from that ]
no subject
I just...want to.
[It's what it all comes down to]
Do I need another reason?
no subject
[ Maybe, some things just can't be explained. He was curious, that was all ]
no subject
[And maybe this will better explain his thoughts...or just muddy them up further]
It might be nice to have something you like after a long day.
no subject
... then, I shall do the same for you.
[ It's only fair, no? ]
no subject
But he's being kind, right? So he nods once]
Okay.
[Their first sidequest]
we're about done here? :D
I will remember to.
[ These words are spoken without hesitation. ]
