June Training
Who: Everyone
What: Information and Training
When: December 7th
Where: Outside the Meeting Hall, the Far Shore
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.
Once they've had a chance to have things explained, they'll have the chance to relax and enjoy an afternoon party.

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.
Once they've had a chance to have things explained, they'll have the chance to relax and enjoy an afternoon party.
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.
The speaker delivers her welcome speech with the intonation of someone who's practiced it many times. Newly arrived gods 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. They are allowed to remain in the room as long as they wish, should they want to discuss questions with each other or with more experienced gods who are here to help out.
Shinki Training
- Various shinki in the white-and-gold of Amaterasu's hosuehold are stationed around the dojo, passing out informational pamphlets that have been freshly printed. They will be happy to answer any questions or instruct the newcomers in the use of the borderline. They also accompany their answers, or lessons, with 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.
The dojo is back to its old, fully functional self; a set of motionless straw targets line one wall, to be used by people practicing with any of the weapons spread out on tables or hanging in racks on the walls. Outside, six animated straw targets wait in an area marked off with red ribbons and warning signs. Anyone entering the marked area may find themselves in combat with one (or more) of the magical training dummies. Those who leave the marked area, though, won't be chased.
Physical Training
- Beyond the dojo, a scavenger hunt has been set up throughout the grounds of the Meeting Hall. Brightly colored plastic balls are hidden in shrubbery, tucked into support beams, floating among reeds in the ponds, and lurking in even cleverer hiding places. When a god or shinki gets their hand on one of them, they will burst open to reveal a hidden prize, such as candy, small toys, or accessories. How many can you find?
As well as the scavenger hunt, the white-robed shinki are engaging in more serious physical training and will be happy to let new gods or shinki join them. Sparring matches with practice weapons from the dojo, jogging laps around the hall, sit-ups, push-ups... or, for the younger shinki, competing to see who's the fastest to climb a tree.
Rest and Refreshments
- Midafternoon, once the last of the scavenger-hunt prizes have been found, the white-robed shinki will turn their hands to clearing away the training equipment and laying out a lovely buffet table. Bright lanterns are hung from the trees, and a few shinki even take up a station on one side of the training area and begin playing shamisen, koto, wooden flute and drum. Although their instruments are traditional, their music selection ranges from some very classic Japanese tunes to others that sound surprisingly modern. The koto player can really rock!
Old and new gods and shinki alike are welcome to circulate, socialize with their friends, partake of the buffet food and enjoy the music. There's even room for those who feel inspired to dance, and plenty of privacy offered by the extensive garden for those who would rather retreat with their new partners to have a serious conversation.
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
- Relax at a party
- Have fun~
physical training
[ Hibiki is sitting in her giant plush armchair, trying to clear her head by reading the complete works of William Shakespriere. This is optimal for inducing the state of mind necessary to produce her own genius screenplay.
What a far cry from finding an exploding ball in a bush and getting excited. ]
no subject
But...! That's actually an insult, isn't it!?]
Well, we can't all have fun sitting on our butts.
no subject
[ She even has tea. In a fancy porcelain cup, and everything. Siiiiip. ]
Leisure, alone, suits me.
[ In a lesser mortal - in a mortal, even - such would be offered defensively. But that is not the case here.
The topic of conversation was changed to "Shikyoin Hibiki", and that happens to be Hibiki's very favorite topic. Ask and receive! ]

This guy, could he be--]

She twitches. ]

[ AAAANNNDOOOOOOOOOOO--oh
But. Never let it be said she cannot rally. Hibiki hoists her book, hoping to return to it. ] In any case, I'm occupied. Speak only if you've anything of import to say.
no subject
[This guy kind of looks really fancy though. Does that mean he's a god? So even gods can be morons. This place is kind of fun. Rather than take the hint or disappear, though, she flitters around him. Head tilting she inspects the cover of the book.]
So whatcha reading?
no subject
[ "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?"
...Wait. The names in this copy of Paromeo and Julpriet are wrong.
How could this be. ]
no subject
Um... [ IS IT IN ENGLISH OR--?]
Sha... kes peare...? Isn't that the poet guy?
hibiki/2
But surely, that play remains intact.
Hibiki flicks ahead in her book. ] Such an ill-printed copy is a greater outrage than your ignorance....
2/hibiki
EVEN PAMLET IS WRONG. ]
no subject
[Did he just remember something, or...?]
Maybe you shouldn't read the poetry.
no subject
You're welcome.
The book is shaking a bit in her hold, though. ]
no subject
Maybe you should start with something easier, like Dr. Suess.
[Turning the book around to try and read and--
Yep. Dr Seuss makes a lot more sense.]
no subject
And immediately putting a hand to our forehead. ]
I've had enough of reading for today.
[ Her head....her....her head.
How very weary she suddenly feels. ]
no subject
[She's going on as though she hasn't been ignored for a while now]
If you get up and move around you'll increase your blood circulation. [Just listen to Yui]
You could look for the prizes.
no subject
[ Except that involves getting up. Since Hibiki always forgets she can teleport if the plot requires it. ]
Doing something beneath me will worsen the pain.
no subject
[She's moving behind the chair now]
On the count of three--
end her
you're the kindest mun
[She backs up, positioning herself. It's a good thing that guy is sitting on the edge of his throne...? It's fancy enough for one.]
Two-
[Hop, hop--! She loosens her body up for a second, and--]
THREE-!
[With a flying jump kick she spins and hits the top of the chair full power with all the force to tip it forward, as well as the boy sitting in it!]
HIYAAAA~!
poor saiga....thought she was playing...a serious character....
[ Aaaaand splat.
Now there is a chair with a pair of legs, splayed, sticking out from beneath it. The legs are twitching.
This went well! ]
no subject
You were supposed to get up just now. Did you just break?
no subject
[ Can't get up. Chair. Chair. ]
