What: Information and Training
When: November 6th

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 rear of 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 a much nicer room than the warehouse where the last set of new gods got their informational speech. It's a smaller meeting room, with tatami floors and a small dais at the front of the room where the speaker stands. 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.
Butterfly spirits are swarming the flower garden to one side of the dojo, fluttering across bright pink late-blooming cosmos. Shinki who want to practice more precise borderline aim can try using them to gently herd the butterflies one way or another, or, if their borderlines aren't quite that good yet, they can try to catch one with a net. Just be careful! It would be a shame to hurt them.
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.
The animated training dummies are missing this week, although the mundane ones are still intact on their stakes; the white-robed shinki who has previously been seen looking after them is wandering among the mundane training dummies, muttering, making notes to himself and swearing under his breath. Anyone who stares at him for too long, god or shinki, newcomer or established, is going to find him marching over and assigning them a task. Measure the air temperature in each square foot of the dojo, determine the exact height of each dummy and the location where it's most likely to be hit by opponents of different heights, hook an accelerometer to someone's sleeve while they smack a dummy around -- there seem to be hundreds of little, fiddly measurements he needs, and he's not taking no for an answer.
Rest and Refreshments
- There are casks of fresh, cold water near the dojo to make sure no one gets dehydrated, and a fresh autumn-themed lunch will be served a little after noon. Rice with mushrooms, salt-grilled fish, roasted sweet potatoes and fresh fruit are on the menu; the shinki will try to accommodate any special dietary requests, and both the new arrivals and more experienced volunteers are welcome to partake.
One of the white-robed shinki has a whole pack of half-grown puppies that she seems to be trying to train. A few have mastered sitting, a few have figured out how to fetch, and all of them are young and excited enough that they're dashing off in all directions at the least provocation. Watch out! Dog incoming! Maybe she needs some help with that?
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 with the dogs
- Spectate if you want
- Have fun~

In this case, as far as I can tell, we're here because our souls have been brought here, and are being put into these bodies. So, if the body is destroyed, our soul can simply be put into a different one!
[So they're not being reanimated with different souls, or anything like that! Which is good. As it seems that souls reanimating other people's bodies are far more susceptible to control.
There's Hazel to prove it, and there's this world's zombie parade, too.]
no subject
What the hell...
[It's all so much. So much weird shit. He's too old for this.]
no subject
[Hakkai steps closer, offering Goku a hand up.]
It's a lot to absorb all at once... have you met your shinki yet? If so, the two of you can come back to my temple now and take the rest of the afternoon off.
[He nods to one of Goku's bruises, and adds:] It looks as though you could use it. What happened?
no subject
[He's also been standing a few meters away, staring blankly off into space this entire time. Goku's not going to try to point him out from his current position. He reaches up to grab Hakkai's hand, misses the first time, and then pulls himself up with a wince. Yeah, taking the afternoon off sounds nice.]
Nataku happened. [Goku pauses and looks at his hand in Hakkai's.] ... Don'tcha remember? You got beat up real bad too.
no subject
[Prince Nataku, the one who'd been sent down from Heaven to take over their job?
Hakkai, frozen, doesn't let go of Goku's hand just yet.]
You don't mean the time that he attacked Kougaiji's army while Sharak was rebuilding the barrier.
[He can't. Neither Hakkai nor Goku had been there at that time, and neither of them had been injured.]
no subject
[Goku keeps looking at his hand and Hakkai's. He'd reached out for Nataku then too, hadn't he? But both times he just vanished.]
But I mean the time at that youkai town Sharak was lookin' after. He wanted to kill 'em for some reason so we picked a fight with him.
no subject
The last thing I remember from home is that we were still on the way to that town.
[Goku must only remember another hour, two at the most; his bruises are still darkening. Hakkai belatedly releases his hand, and breathes out.
It doesn't prove anything -- it could just be that they're being fooled about their own memories again. Still, it feels as though he's been told that he will find his way back home again, someday.]
no subject
[Released, Goku's hand drops to his side before he lifts it again to look at his palm. There's nothing there anymore, of course. Stupid to think there would be. But he still knows what he saw back then.]
Afterwards too. We all went to yell at the three heads some more and then Sanzo fell over an' Gojyo fell over and I fell over and I think you did too. [The word you're looking for, Goku, is "fainted".] Then I woke up here. You really don't remember that?
no subject
[So they'll all survive fighting the War God, he reflects. That's nice to know. Assuming, of course, that they're not falling over dead, which Goku would have specified.
He shakes his head.]
But that's not too surprising. Sometimes, we remember different times when we come here, and I don't know why that happens.
no subject
... Is it okay to talk about it then? If you forgot stuff too, I mean. Those guys said you're not supposed to tell anyone who's a shinki what they forgot.
[Did he accidentally just turn Hakkai into a monster? Would they even be able to tell?]
no subject
Which seems very unfair, doesn't it?
no subject
[Goku, neatly summarising the cause of Hakkai's emotional torture for the past several months. He's right, he doesn't have to be eloquent.]
I mean, you can deal with forgetting stuff. [Goku would know.] But making people keep secrets from you is shitty.
no subject
[It's not that he doesn't know how. He's much better at lying to his friends to keep them safe than is, for instance, Goku.
But it does keep them apart, and it destroys any trust they could have had in him.
As Goku so eloquently puts it, it sucks.]
But there's no other option.
no subject
[He may be apart from Sanzo already, but that's temporary. He already knows that. He hasn't seen Gojyo yet, but he's within reach. He's not going to let some dumb heaven magic keep him away. And Hakkai is already right here. He won't be separated from his precious people, not now, not ever. Never again.]
They can try all they want, they can't force us to stay away from each other.
no subject
But it seems I don't have much of a choice about keeping my distance, either. I'm no good at it.
[He laughs, awkwardly. Goku knows that already, after all.]
no subject
[Speaking of which... Goku stands up and tries to dust off his jeans with his hands, futilely trying to scratch off a blood stain. How did he get so much stuff on him, he's only got knocked into the dirt a couple of times...]
Um, by the way... I was talkin' to this guy Chikusa and he told me some of the stuff Gojyo's been doin'...
no subject
Ah....
What did Chikusa tell you?
no subject
[Part of the issue for Goku is that he has trouble imagining Gojyo being mean to Hakkai. Sanzo, sure, maybe even to Goku. Hakkai? That's not just unusual, that's dangerous.]
I dunno, I just thought I should ask you about it instead. [Hakkai would know better than Chikusa, after all.]
no subject
Chikusa doesn't like Gojyo very much, so he might have been a little harsh! But it has been...
... well, as hard as it is for gods to have to hide things from our friends, isn't it even harder not to remember anything, and to have someone who is a stranger say, "I can't tell you anything, but trust me anyway"? It's been difficult for him.
no subject
... I dunno! I think I'd trust you or Sanzo or Gojyo even if I didn't remember you, Hakkai.
[And he's probably right. If only Gojyo was as gullible and easily charmed as Goku is. Though maybe Goku could stand to be a little less trusting.]
But even if I didn't trust you, that doesn't mean... Well, Chikusa told me he was tryin' to tell people about how you became youkai but he was doing it to make 'em mad at you. [Thank whatever god you were praying to, Hakkai.] That's weird.
no subject
I thought so. I... hadn't expected him to do that.
[There are all kinds of things he's told Gojyo, trusting him reflexively, and had thrown back in his face later. It's not as bad if it's Gojyo throwing them. He'd been really quite upset when it was Davesprite and Chikusa.
He sighs.]
I still don't know why he did. You'd have to ask him.
no subject
[He'll have to go find him, but he will. He's not going to let any dumb memory magic stand in his way. Hakkai won't either, Goku knows that, so between them Gojyo will have no choice but to stop being stupid and trust them.]
And if he says somethin' dumb, I'll punch him.
[Making friends with Son Goku.]
no subject
He really appreciates the way Goku solves problems.]
Just -- be careful, please? I don't know if he remembers anything about you. He's only remembered a few little moments so far.
no subject
I'll be careful! Don't worry, I won't tell him anything. Punching won't hurt, right? ... Unless I punch him really hard, I guess.
no subject
[Punch with as much force as Gojyo seems to need at that particular moment, Goku. It's fine. Broken ribs heal.]
... Anyway, yes. That's, ah, that's what's happening with him. Did Chikusa tell you anything else? -- Chikusa is my shinki, by the way. If he didn't mention that.
[Sometimes he doesn't.]
