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~
physical training
Thankfully, he manages to sidestep an arrow coming his way.
He's about to give said failure of a bowman a good talking to when he realizes who it is. Okay, he can't stay mad forever. But then maybe the bitty demon needs some help with aim... ]
They really should have placed these dummies closer to a wall. Someone's liable to get shot at.
no subject
no subject
[ He's never really done kyuudo before but the concept of aiming was the same no matter what kind of projectile you used. ]
Show me how you fire a bow. I'm sure we can figure out where you're slipping up.
no subject
no subject
[ Looks like someone's slipped into teacher mode. He's stepping back though, giving Emi plenty of elbow room as he adjusts his glasses. ]
no subject
[...But pulls a new arrow back. Trying maybe a little too hard to look professional, straight, and well...unbothered. The tip of the arrow was shaking slightly but Emizel was ignoring it.]
no subject
[ He's stepping forward before Emi can let that arrow fly. Looking at how unsteady he is, this is just SCREAMING for an accident.
He comes up behind the boy, adjusting his stance here and there; fixing his arms, moving him to relax his shoulders more, pushing a foot between his to widen his stance. That should make the arrow shake less... but not quite enough if the shaking is coming from the demon's hands. ]
Breathe. Relax. I'm not going to do anything if you get it wrong.
no subject
S..so, like this? [He kept position, but, well, the arrow was unsteady. Seemed less having to do with how he was holding it and more on anxiety though.]
no subject
[ He's focused on keeping Emizel's elbow up and parallel to his shoulder before slowly stepping back again. ]
You're still shaking too much, though.
no subject
[Fire the arrow.]
[Still not super accurate, but hey, it's closer to the target? And his arms can rest now.] ...I think that was better?
no subject
He was nervous too.
So he reaches over to ruffle the little demon's hair. It worked for him when he fired his first gun. The recoil knocked him back slightly and he was still shaking. ]
Yeah. It was. Keep practicing.
no subject
Ah... y-yeah!! Not too sure how the stance is gonna work in the middle of battle but I'll keep working on it!
no subject
Keep practicing until it becomes second nature and you can do it as easily as breathing.
[ He manages to muster a small smile at that. ]
That's what my dad told me. And the stance isn't just for show.
[ He steps close again, tapping Emi's hip and shoulder. ]
The distance between your feet steadies your form so your aim is more accurate. Your shoulders do the same thing so your hold on the bow when you draw is firm.
no subject
[Emizel tensed up a little again while Yukio poked him, trying to get back into stance without any help this time so that he can figure it out on his own. He eventually slacked again when he thought he had the hang of it now.]
So...you were taught this kind of thing a lot?
no subject
That's right. He taught me everything I know.
[ Maybe just one final adjustment when he notices that slacking. ]
He taught me how to use a gun but... it's almost the same thing no matter the projectile weapon.
no subject
Mine only taught me a few basic spells and how to reap. I..failed at a lot of the basics so it never went that much further.
[Awkward silence.]
no subject
He just... stopped?
[ Meanwhile Fujimoto had drilled it all into him while he was in training... ]
Well... if you ever wanted to improve... now's your chance.
no subject
[Oh boy.]
B-but I mean, I'm a lot better now.
no subject
You're a god now... you've got the chance to make yourself better than what you were back home. If it were me, I wouldn't want to stick to being the way I was before getting here.
no subject
no subject
That's a pretty admirable goal if you ask me.
[ You get him Emi, you really do. ]
If you ask me... you're probably well on your way.
no subject
no subject
Just keep at it... like you're doing with the archery.
no subject
[That..sounds slightly weird out of context. #godthings]
