i. physical training

[Though Kaden has obtained his shinki informational pamphlet, the full spectrum of what is going on still needs some time to process. Half of the information in the pamphlet doesn't make much sense, though it probably will after a while, but for right now he just wants to explore. Whenever his god finds him, he can ask about the things he doesn't understand.

The sound of practice swords hitting each other makes something in the back of his mind tickle and tease at remembering, but exactly what it is, he can't say. Still, the noise draws him in, and before he knows it he's... stuck sweeping one of the outer walkways, because one of the white-robed shinki had saved him from one of the magically automated training dummies that he'd got a little too close to, and helping out with the chores just seemed to be the right thing to do in return.

At least he looks pleased with what he's doing, if the gentle bob back and forth of his big, fluffy tail is any indication.]

ii. rest & refreshments

[A nice, cold glass of water is just what Kaden needs after sweeping out the walkways of the dojo, but following his nose towards the refreshments has proven to be a bit of a distraction. Before he could even set his sights on food, he'd noticed the children - more shinki? - playing in the garden, and upon closer inspection, realized that they were trying to catch something in the water.

As it stands currently, he still hasn't retrieved his glass of water, but he's kneeling at the edge of the lake with a handful of young shinki on either side, tail waving happily behind him.]

If you really want to catch one, you've got to do it right! Let me show you how it's done! Watch carefully, okay?

[Want something else? Hit me up!]

God Training

[ Ranulf didn't look very pleased being here. It didn't help his nose was filled with the musty old smell of all these things crammed in the room. He knew beorc liked keeping mementos but one would think they would clean them more regularly.

As Ranulf began to leave with the rest of the 'gods', he still didn't seem to buy it. Did everyone else here believe it? Only one way to find out.

So with a toothy grin and a friendly face, he approaches someone, his tail slowly swaying behind him. ]

Ah, my apologies. But may I have a moment of your time?

Physical Training

Whoa!

[ Ranulf dodges as he hears something coming towards him. It sounded awfully like a sword swinging in the air. He missed it just in time to spot where that came from. He blinked as he saw this..dummy? He had seen beorc use those in their training, but never a moving one.

He raised his hands to make peace. ]

I've no quarrel with you, I don't wish to, h-hey!

[ The dummy was not taking no for an answer as it swiped at Ranulf once more. The laguz blocked it, wincing as it stung his arm. He frowned, he wasn't getting anywhere with this thing. If that was the case...He sighed. ]

I warned you.

[ It wasn't long before the man disappeared and large blue cat appeared in his place. Before the dummy had another chance to strike, the cat leapt at it, kicking it first, then sank his teeth into it's head, tearing it off with a quick rip. After he plopped the head to the ground he changed back, curiously staring at the scarecrow. ]

What a strange contraption...

[ His moment of peace doesn't last long as he hears a shout of anger from behind him. Someone was not happy he destroyed the little dummy. Ranulf could only smile sheepishly to the shinki as he apologized.

The least he can do is weed the garden, right? ]

Rest and Refreshments

From going to defeat a goddess to becoming a god...Is this some kind of punishment? Man this just hasn't been my day.

[ Ranulf sighed from under a tree he picked out, some water and strange looking sweets beside him. He tried to stay away from all the beorc, just being respectful and keeping his distance. Who knew how they would react and being in such a foreign land, he'd rather not take any chances.

He sniffed the air again and slumped. No one smelt familiar or even looked familiar so he was a little down. It was almost strange hearing so much bustling and life around him. Not too long ago he was standing in a world of statues and a select few trying to save their world.

But, enough of that. He was hungry, working up a small appetite from the weed pulling he picked up a box of those sweet that had been offered to him and stared questionably at it, giving it a sniff. ]

Are these really edible?

Wildcard

[ Anything else \o/ ]

1. God Training

[ Out of all the places to end up again, or a place almost like. Aqua isn't surprised at the information being given about being gods and gaining followers, what really is getting to her is the fact she has almost no followers now, no vast following that enjoys being part of the Axis church. ]

Why do I have to start over again? I wasn't causing trouble at all before, blame Kazuma!

2. Physical Training

[ Beating the crap out of targets will make things better clearly. Aqua has a wooden staff in hand and is ready to hit anyone that gets in her way. ]

3. R&R

[ One does not turn down free food, that being said Aqua has a face full of various snacks not even bothering to eat things one by one like a normal person. ]

There isn't a catch to this or anything right?

[ Beware the crumbs now flying out of Aqua's mouth. ]

Shinki Training

[Suzaku had followed the instructions and arrived at the dojo. He seemed outwardly calm and he politely thanked the white robed Shinki who handed him the informational pamphlet.

Welcome to Heaven. So he was dead. He didn't seem to feel upset about that, he couldn't remember anything but that seemed alright as well and indeed he took note of the warning in the brochure about being careful about memories, it seemed he had none for a reason.

There was a lot of information to take in at once and Suzaku took his time reading it, reading it over again to make sure that he had understood it properly. He was to serve a god, they were to answer prayers that might involve killing Ayakashi.

He was soon drawn into practicing borderlines, it seemed like it was an important skill and one that took a lot of practice. He did as instructed and concentrated on lines to keep out what was not wanted.]

Physical Training

[Apparently he counted at looking not too busy because he had not long stopped the borderline practicing when he was recruited to help clean up. He didn't mind, a big annual meeting of gods sounded important. So he was scrubbing floors diligently.

He definitely wasn't the only one and he smiled politely at those he was working beside. If they seemed like they were up for talking he would offer a greeting.] Hello

Rest and Refreshment

[Finally he had finished scrubbing floors. He stood watching everyone as he drank his water. He was dressed in a very tight fitting suit, there was an earpiece in his ear still mostly because the suit had nothing in the way of pockets. So he held the information pamphlet and a gun in one hand.

He was waiting, just as the pamphlet had told him. He thought he had taken in all the information though parts of it seemed strange. Everything seemed strange but it was reassuring to see everyone here being relaxed. The young Shinki playing and catching crayfish.

He is quiet but seems interested, watching people and he even takes a sweet when it is offered.]

[Alex hadn't even realized it was time for another training day at the temple. Time seemed to go slower lately. The thought of attending didn't appeal to her, deciding to opt out this time around. It would be difficult, seeing all the shinki there, but not hers. Or would he...? There were people that would disappear but reappear before. It was possible that Temeraire might return there as well.

She checked the time on her phone. It was getting late..possibly the tail end of the training, but there may still be people there. Barry's baleful voice echoed in her head.

There's nothing for you there. Why bother?

But that was it. She had nothing to lose anyway. Not anymore. He was either there or not.

By the time she arrives at the temple, it was late into the afternoon. There's a moment of hesitation before she enters, looking around for the giant reptile. Something does catch her eye-- a tail-- but not the scaly one she was expecting. Smaller too. And...fluffy? There was a broom in his hand, but he didn't look like the other robed shinki.]

Um..excuse me. Have you seen..a dragon..around here?

[The sound of a voice interrupts Kaden's focus on sweeping, ears twitching before his eyes move to look at the person that's speaking. The girl in front of him smells like... trees? A forest, maybe? Still, she seems kind enough - a little sad, even - so he gives her a smile and settles his hands on top of the broom handle. Surely they won't get mad if he stops for just a second.]

A dragon? No, I don't think so. Why, did you lose one? That seems like a pretty big thing to lose.

[How do you lose a dragon? Unless, maybe, it's a small dragon. That would make sense.]

[Alex barely contained her surprise when she spotted the ears next. This was a person..with an actual tail and animal ears. She averts her gaze, at least not to be rude and stare at his..parts..for too long.]

Y..yeah..sort of..I---

[A familiar feeling starts to hit her. The same one she got when she met Temeraire. She cuts herself off, turning from left to right to try and catch a glimpse of him. But it wasn't coming from any other direction. The feeling was coming from right here. Her brow furrowed, confused. Tem was no where in sight. In fact, the only one here was--

Her turning stops when she's facing the young man once again.]

...It's...you..?

[It's only been a few days since Ginia was here herself, adjusting to her newfound life as a shinki, reading through the pamphlet, practicing her borderlines, waiting for her god. So as she passes through the training area and spots Suzaku practicing his borderlines, she stops to watch. For only having a few days worth of memories, it's a bit nostalgic.

And on her first day, when she was practicing borderlines, someone had come by to help out. So as Suzaku sets up a borderline, Ginia slashes her hand in the same motion, sending a borderline attack aimed directly at his barrier and watching to see what he does.]

ALPHA - Peer Review (Shinki Training)
[Kairi will open up with several options for your character as far as training goes, based on her previous experiences:

Defend against Kairi's borderline walls - with your own borderlines, dodging, any other magic you have
Defend against Kairi's shinki spells - nothing but your willpower vs. her confidence can stop it, and she's been at this for months
Attack Kairi with your borderlines (dagger-style, as she calls it) - she'll defend with her own borderline walls and dodging.
Attack Kairi with your own shinki spells - she'll do her best to confidently resist them!
Anything goes - Borderlines, spells, and she can even call in a friend for Aerial combat if that's your interest!

Regardless of the style you go with, she's absolutely looking for where she can improve, and will likewise give constructive criticism back!]

BETA - Observations for Shinki Pamphlet Beta (Shinki Training/Rest and Refreshments)
[Kairi is dutifully walking around at various times, looking and listening for people who are reading the current pamphlet and trying to see if there are any patterns for parts that are missing. She has a little notepad in hand and a pencil that she's tapping to her mouth, sometimes even placing it behind her ear.

... Part of her hopes that by mimicking Izuku's habit of writing down notes, that she'll do a better job of continuing his work. Others are free to notice this mimicry on her part, especially if they knew Izuku - the former Aidos. Sometimes she can even be found reviewing the notes she DOES have already at a bench while sipping water and snacking.]

GAMMA - Only one way forward! (Physical Training)
[Kairi learned early on that training with gods and other shinki in ways that weren't unique to shinki would improve her overall abilities as a vessel and while out of vessel form. You can find her in lots of ways doing physical training!

Keyblade out and hacking away at the most active of the repaired dummies
Jogging laps around the training area
Hand-to-hand katas (without dummies) and sparring (with the dummies)
Stretching between other activities

All that and whatever else your character can suggest to her! She's newest as keyblade, so is favoring that for training.]

DELTA - A Strange Friend
[Kairi has a shadow most of the day in the form of a Soulless Shinki she calls Joy, and who she often speaks to the way one would a good friend, refusing to treat Joy like a mute servant. Joy is the same Soulless Shinki that Roxas named and lived at the Baldr-Artemis joint temple, if anyone ever met her before. There are certain moments where Kairi looks around nervously as if debating saying something to Joy, then stopping again before she returns to training on her own.]

i. physical training

[The pamphlet had been... a bit much. Ryoma was a clever enough man--he certainly understood words, but the actual meanings behind certain things described in the 'helpful literature' had created as many questions as they'd sought to answer. Still, Ryoma had accepted the papers dutifully, walking the dojo and the training grounds with the intention to... observe.

This initial course of action was a bit derailed when Ryoma found his way to the training yard--some of the weapons were unfamiliar in their make and their mettle, but there were others that made sense even though Ryoma couldn't exactly say why. He practiced for a while with a katana, meeting a training dummy blow for blow with a muscle-deep ease that was thankfully easy to focus on (with a very, very careful sense to not damage the dummy overmuch, as the hawk-eyed overseer had seemed a touch miffed when Ryoma followed on a lunge with his blade and nearly spelled the end of his partner.)

... and if a large, serious man in red armor with a live weapon was a touch too intimidating, it wouldn't be long before he ceded the training dummy to the next person and found himself recruited into the chore team. He faced the duty of picking stray weeds from the garden with the same somber, intense focus that he'd used on the dummy and the pamphlet before it. His face was a bit stuck that way, in all truth.]

ii. r & r

[Work hard, play... not much at all, really?

Ryoma wasn't much for games himself, though he wouldn't begrudge anyone who found themselves drawn into the childrens' play--their laughter and happiness was contagious, and a keen eye might catch something that could almost be called a smile on Ryoma's usually serious face as he guzzled water in as dignified a manner as he could manage. Chore team was not messing around. Trifle not with chore team.

Ryoma still had a weed he hadn't quite detected resting atop his glorious mane of hair.]

iii. wildcard

[samurai contractor for hire, will protect your shit from criminals*

*unless you are poor and cannot afford a samurai]

[Some commotion around the training area is pretty normal, all things considered. Plenty of people on the Far Shore have flashy, loud, or unusual fighting styles that they want to keep honed, after all.

What Kieth is pretty sure he's never seen before is someone straight-up turning into a giant blue cat in order to fend off one of the training dummies.]

That was... uh. Probably more force than you needed to use on one of these things.

[Giant blue cat... Incredible.]

God Training: Minus a few months of memories (Add's Plot)
[Dokugakuji doesn't remember nearly all of his life in the Far Shore prior to his death. He has one memory, an argument with Gojyo, so he does know that something was going on, leading him towards Add's temple... and then a blank. It doesn't sit well with him at all, the longer he's had to think about it over the last 10 days since returning. He's hoping that jogging his memory by listening to these God Training messages again, by training with his shinki, that sort of thing will help him remember what happened.

He's a bit over-serious today, glancing this way and that for anything that will be a clue to this mystery - including other people talking about the recent events that sound like the foes he was attacking in his single memory. He also hasn't spent any time looking at his phone, since he's back to not being accustomed to technology of that sort. He classifies it alongside Ni Jienyi, the doctor who did atrocious things to his prince.]

Physical Training: Back to basics
[This one's easy for someone like Dokugakuji. It's just like being back at Kougaiji's castle, he thinks. His over-six-foot frame towers over others and he is strangely unworried about concealing his youkai identity. Everyone so far has just assumed it's something that came along with him being a god. Doku meanwhile blames that on the new scar he's sporting on one arm that, near as he can figure, loosely resembles some flames but nothing more.

Meanwhile, he can brawl with you hand-to-hand, or he can pick up a practice sword to go against you. If you're feeling frisky, he can even use one of his Soulless Shinki that turns into a sword: he's a tall man with one eye sealed shut, over which is his shinki name.]

[ His ears perk to the voice and he turns to the newcomer. He gives him a small, apologetic smile. ]

I might have gone just a little overboard, guess I'm used to more difficult opponents these days.

[ He does a small stretch. ]

Oh well, better to end it quickly, it didn't seem to want to stop at any rate.

[There's nothing wrong with the staring! At least, Kaden doesn't feel there's anything wrong. Though she looks away, he keeps smiling and looking right at her. Maybe he's the odd one out here, maybe he's the weird one since he doesn't look like a human, but he doesn't seem to mind in the slightest.

Except, when she stops short and pauses for a moment. Maybe she's found her dragon, he thinks, but apparently not.]

Huh? Me?

[Confused, he turns to look over his shoulder at the long, fluffy, silky tail behind him.]

No, I'm not a dragon. I'm a fox.

Rest and Refreshments
[Yoon is definitely not in the mood for training. Yona's been asleep for awhile and it's starting to worry him. The only reason he's even here - he tells himself - is to make sure there's no shinki that might have gotten assigned to her even while she slept. As a result, they wouldn't know where to go with her asleep.

... Then there's the fact that he hasn't left her temple much lately. So he's restless, even if he won't admit it.

That's why Yoon spends so much of his time around the Refreshments area, trying to blend in as one of Amaterasu's shinki and just busy himself refilling drinks and snacks. He justifies this as well that any wandering shinki without a god may eventually land near the refreshments and gripe loudly enough about it for him to hear.]

God/Shinki Training
[If you have a compelling argument, you can drag Yoon away from his mother-henning to get some actual training in. Some characters may even be able to physically drag him away, since he's pretty small. That may not convince him to spar, but he's tentatively been working on his first shinki spell between other lessons (at Hakkai's school to bring him up to speed on current knowledge), teaching cooking not just being good at it (for Goten), and Sign Language (with Lav).]

Eh? No--that's not what I--

[Alex shakes her head, trying to gather herself. Was she just imagining it? No...the longer she looked at him the more she felt it.]

You're....my shinki...

[It's while taking a break from training to grab a nice, cool drink that Keith spots Yoon looking... honestly pretty stressed, all things considered.]

Hey. You look like you could use a break.

[But, a break from what? Yoon's not really the fighting type, so there's gotta be something on his mind wearing him down, right?]

i. god training

[Mirei is absolutely the kind of person who will sit still, quiet and attentive through an informational lecture. She is the kind of person who will take copious notes. She is also the person who has collected absolutely all of the supplementary material, even the glossy magazines and the informational leaflets that are actually intended for - the term is still unfamiliar - for the shinki. She has even abstracted a copy of the questionnaire. If one is about to be graded, it always helps to know the criteria.

[She isn't quite certain, yet, what she makes of all this: that will need a little time and a lot of wider reading. She sees no reason to disbelieve it, unbelievable though it all sounds, when this is far too much effort to put into a practical joke. For now, Mirei simply listens and makes notes - and, when the lecture has finished, she decides to take the lecturer's advice and, many heads being better than one, canvass for opinions amongst her fellow - well, fellow Gods, she supposes. How strange some of these people look.

[There is a very self-possessed fourteen-year-old in here, and she is Bent on Discovery.]

Excuse me. I'm sorry to trouble you, but - may I ask what you made of all this?

ii. rest and refreshments

[Mirei may be at home in a lecture hall, but some things it is far better to leave to Mirei.

[It's a little funny to find out she can PriPara Change without PriPara, but nowhere near as strange as not being able to change at all. It's still something to be done in private, though, and once she's left the lecture hall Mirei slips away to change into something more suitable.

[She steers clear of the physical training for now. In good shape she may be but singing and dancing is no preparation for wielding a sword, and in nothing more suitable than her gaily-colored casual coord, she thinks she might stand out there more than she wants to right now. That she can come back to. A girl like Mirei looks so much more natural by the tea table with - what else? - half the contents of a candy shop. And, when it comes to making friends, any time is the best.

[Stray too near the tea table and you might just find yourself being smiled at by a fluffy blonde with a kitty-eared hairdo, and a curious look in her eyes.]

Oh, hi there, I'm new~! Do you like music, pri?

iii. wild card

[[Something else take your fancpri? I'm pripared for almost anything. pri~!]]

[For the few that know him, Tadashi isn't technically new, but he's been MIA for a while. And has actually been hiding around the Near Shore for a few days before suddenly showing up near the Meeting Hall looking extremely confused.

I. shinki training

His first stop is Amaterasu's shinki and the information table. He's collected quite a few paper bits, including a few photos, an information pamphlet, and a copy of the questionnaire, even though he's not sure if he actually has to fill out the latter since he doesn't have a god. To his knowledge, anyway.]

Do I need to turn this in if it's not completely filled out?

[II. physical training

He hadn't intended to fight the dummies; he had simply wandered too close to one of them and nearly wound up with a faceful of wooden sword. He did end up with a faceful of straw arm a couple seconds later, before he managed to stagger far enough away and grab a discarded staff.

He'll fight this animated dummy...and hopefully no one saw it essentially clothesline him.

III. choose your own adventure!

Maybe you've spotted Tadashi and recognize him? Maybe he's accidentally bumped into you while trying to figure out what's up with everything here. Feel free to make something up.]

Edited 2018-03-17 03:19 (UTC)

[Lancer is always trying to practice more. After all, it's no good if he can't keep up. Archer and Caster are good to practice against, but it means nothing if he can't get additional practice.

Spinning his two spears around as he moves in front of him.]

Are you interested in training?

[ God Training ]

[ There is only one empty-ish corner in this overcrowded space, and it's being occupied by someone who saw fit to bring a large, fully upholstered armchair to this event and make use of it despite the close quarters.

She listens to the introductory speech, occasionally pulling a judgmental face or a knowing smirk. By the end of the talk, however, she's grown bored and is reading a script for something called Six-Shot Sheriff II: The Seventh Shot.

This reading continues even after the meeting has concluded and everyone is being ushered away. All attempts to catch her attention have ended in failure. She is camped in this corner. Taking up too much space.

The shinki trying to get her to move seem at their wits' end.... ]

[ Physical Training ]

[ Someone has moved Hibiki's chair out of the meeting room - but now she's in this hallway, and everyone is having to clean around her. She doesn't seem to care. In fact, she has added a small round red rug with gold tassel fringe and a side table upon which to rest a saucer of hot cocoa, thick and rich with a glittery spun-sugar rose on top. It's getting cold outside.

The chair has been set up indoors, yes, but with a window nearby that permits a view of the training lawn. Hibiki peers out said window, nursing her chocolat chaud. Vastly superior to being out in the chill, this. And there's no way anyone would possibly disturb her...

Except something's prickling the back of her neck. ]

Skulkling around bends isn't smart.

[ The bird spirit that'd been observing Hibiki panics and, with a squawk, turns to try and flee. Except there was someone trying to work right where it's making its exit.

Gangway! Bird in the face! Hibiki around the corner, not caring! ]

[ Rest and Refreshments ]

[ Hibiki sighs as the bird spirit wraps a heavy scarf around her neck, offsetting the starkness of her dark sweater. That's....surprisingly convenient. ] How much weight can you carry?

[ The bird twits off to show off. Hibiki watches, then turns to go. Ridiculous. She doesn't need such a -

"Who is behind you now?"

A child shinki pauses and points. "I know her! She threw a party! God Apollo!" ]

---Eh?

i. Shinki Training

[Lancer likes to come to practice fighting and to learn new skills. He did not come prepared to fill out forms and hand them into someone. Particularly not about his skills as a shinki.

Which he still feels are lacking.

He didn't get this previously, so he'll be blinking at it and scratching his head slowly.]

...Excuse me. May I ask you something?

Physical Training

[Now that the stuff he doesn't want to do is officially done, he'll be moving on to working at training. In the middle of one of the fields, he stands with two spears, one in each hand. Looking towards anyone who is walking closely, he smiles at them and bows his head.]

Please practice with me.

[He's eager to learn with more and more people, and he won't let up until he knows as much as possible.]

I promise not to let you down!

Your-- Oh!

[With that, he turns back to face her with a smile. One of the robed shinki had said that his god would find him on their own. Maybe he sensed her, too, in trusting her right off.]

Well, nice to meet you then! I'm Kaden.

They are.

[Lancer smiles with a nod as he notices him looking at the box. He's a bit curious about what else is going on with this person, especially with the ears, but he won't ask questions.]

Have you never had sweets before?

[ There is... something dark around the Meeting Hall. The sensation of strong chaotic energy can be felt here and there - similar to that of ayakashi, but not quite; much like two things of the same shape but different colours. Yet, no one seems to track it down. Will you? ]

cleaning
[ Following the trail of shadows would lead you to a certain young man (??). What immediately stands out is his body's crumbling appearance, yet he pays it no heed. He has a broom in his hands, though he holds it with only the tips of his fingers, the pole not touching his palm. He sweeps the floor in a regular, precise motion, cleaning one square metre at a time before moving on to the next patch. The dark aura pooling around his feet seem quite liquid, but they leave no stains or trace behind him as he moves.

Unfortunately, he will not speak unless approached first. But his general weirdness should be unique enough to strike up a conversation... right? ]

sparring
[ Ain's presence in the Meeting Hall is probably implicit proof that the Heavens allow him here, despite how he emits a strong distorted aura. The white-robed shinki treat him like just another of the new arrivals, though one has draped a cloth over his chest. It flutters behind him as he strikes at a dummy with a surprising speed, spinning his scythe with an ease that suggests it has no weight at all.

He steps back after a couple of strikes, vanishing his weapon into thin air and holding out a hand around him. Dozens of black eyes appear around him, flying towards the dummy and detonating in an explosion of shadows. The resultant impact fragments the dummy completely, and the accompanying shockwave blows his cloak off his shoulders...

... probably onto you. It had been covering some sort of pulsing eye in his hollowed-out chest. Hopefully you're not squeamish. ]

sweets
[ A passing shinki in blue has pressed a tray of dango into Ain's hands, with instruction that he should give it out to the others. An easy task in principle, but difficult to execute, considering how some of the younger shinki are obviously afraid of him and the dark presence he exudes.

Nevertheless, it doesn't quite deter him. He holds the tray by way of putting it on his pendulum, so that it hovers by his side hands-free. If you haven't run away from him yet, he might float over and offer the tray to you. ]

Would you like one...?

[ Contrary to his youthful face, his voice is very deep. ]

wildcard
[ Throw me something and I'll roll with it!

For people who have been involved in Add's void plot and have felt the presence of the void, the aura that Ain exudes is the exact same thing except less intense. He doesn't care about shielding his true nature, but he isn't malicious or hostile. He has a neutral, if visually (psychically?) uncomfortable presence.

Ain as a character deals heavily with the concept of death and despair, so if you prefer to avoid these themes, please let me know! I have his opt-out over here. ]
