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~

Ah. That. Hibiki snorts, looking away. She doesn't want to think about that. In no small part because she doesn't know what to think, and she hates that feeling. Far better not to dwell on unpleasantries, yes? That never backfires. ] Your concern is misplaced.
[ She's fine. They're fine.
Nothing is fine. ]
no subject
...I just needed you to know.
[He puts a hand up, like he's rubbing his temple. (Maybe he is.)] ...I heard your shinki was friends with my god?
no subject
[ Hibiki doesn't get it, but she's also not about to stop her. As long as her own needs are being met, Wendy can do as she pleases. ] Did something happen?
[ She is...not quite sure...why they are having this conversation. The idea that some third party might wish her and Chinatsu well, or at least, might wish them no further ill, does not even register as a possibility. ]
no subject
[People don't knowingly wade into what she did without reason.]
...Was it worth it?
no subject
[ She's figured it out now. Somehow she has ended up in a discussion that isn't about Shun so much as it is Chinatsu.
Hibiki looks away. Perhaps bluntness will shut this line of inquiry down. ]
I was rejected.
[ Spurned. Refused. Betrayed. Choose your favorite. Hibiki despises them all. ]
no subject
...Ah. [He unintentionally looks away.] So it was like that...
...Hurts, doesn't it? [His tone is quiet, and resigned.]
no subject
Hibiki snorts, throwing her all into the role of a haughty Prince. Because that's her. Yes. ] As if I'd be harmed by such trivialities.
[ It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt.
If it doesn't hurt, she doesn't have to figure out why it hurts. If it doesn't hurt, she doesn't have to reconcile that hurt with the fact that Chinatsu could have left her alone when she had the plu
but chose to stay. ]
no subject
[Fubuki doesn't...particularly care to have this conversation, either. Talk of rejection, and ideas related to, is still too painful for him personally. But it's better than abandoning someone right in front of him, regardless of whether she wants to confide in him or not.]
...Maybe I shouldn't have left, that day.
no subject
[ Hibiki turns away from Fubuki. This sort of cool, final acceptance is best when posed just so.
Because she has to accept it - doesn't she? Why would she even want to pursue Chinatsu after all that?
Why does she ache? ]
no subject
I'm asking about you. [The other person doesn't matter right now. Even if it is his roommate, but that's even more reason to make his point clear.]
...Are you going to be alright?
no subject
[ Hibiki snorts, and does the only thing she knows how to do when she finds herself inside a hole:
dig it deeper. Shovel scraping her own insides. ] I'm better off without such an unpleasant woman!
[ in some other puniverse, there is a petite blonde girl who may very well have suddenly been overcome with the urge to sigh and put her head in her hands for no apparent reason
perhaps ]
no subject
[Okay, maybe he does regret taking Hibiki's side so completely, here. But it'd be pretty useless to try to defend Chinatsu right now, so after a moment of perplexed silence, he decides to refrain.]
[Instead—]
Feels better to vent, doesn't it? Get it all out. [He isn't going anywhere.]
no subject
[ The thought is an affront! ]
She's only an unfathomable existence of tremendous talent who repudiated me for no reason, then lingered during a moment of need! That hypocrisy isn't needed in an elegant celebrity life!
[ She pauses for breath. ] I don't...need to know anything...about her!
[ And she doesn't....miss Chinatsu....either.... ]
no subject
Confusion is a natural thing to feel, you know...
[He stops there, because there are a lot of things he could say, but at the moment all of them are painful. Just because someone was with you during a moment of need doesn't mean they care about you.]
[So he just draws in a breath.] It'll be painful either way. You know that, right?
no subject
[ Hibiki does somber up after this last protest, however, or at least simmer down. Into a sulk.
She knows. She knows very well, protest though she may, try to convince herself otherwise though she might, that everything hurts. What she doesn't know is how to make it stop. Or to be honest about it. ]
no subject
I did say to vent it all out, didn't I? [He still isn't going anywhere.]
no subject
[ It's freaking her out. People...people don't do this. They don't come up to each other out of nowhere and ask to talk about how they feel about things. She doesn't understand what would motivate such behavior.
It's extremely unsettling. ]
no subject
[It's only natural, isn't it? But after two people who are like this, he's starting to wonder.]
You're not alright. [Said in explanation.]
no subject
[ Both that she might not be alright and that you'd have any way of knowing. ]
no subject
[But if she doesn't want to talk about it anymore, he can go along with that.]
...I mean it. Don't come to the temple anymore. [He won't be able to call off the vultures, but he'd already told her as much the first time.]
no subject
[ She's given up on Chinatsu.
Hasn't she? ]
