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~
R&R
From a swordsman in a cloak, who just lower his hands. Yamanbagiri had retreat to the side from the crowd, since he's not much of a social butterfly. But this is a pleasant surprise, at least.]
That sounds nice.
no subject
Wait. Does this mean she's going to remain the same her whole life? Even... her chest!?
God, why...?
Nevermind all that though!]
Wow! Do you mean it? I heard everyone playing and it made me want to try too.
no subject
Yeah, I do. It sounds like you might have a knack for it.
[A pro in the making, perhaps...!? Plus, it's not like she's making a racket or ear scratching noises.]
no subject
[Now she has to wonder if Mirei knows how to play though. Or is it a group effort...? To be honest she's hoping they don't have very many reasons for her to have to transform into her vessel form, to begin with. The whole ayakashi thing sounds pretty creepy.]
Do you have an ear for music then?
no subject
[Or it's some obscure reason, like with his own vessel form. A swordsman who becomes cloth? Man, what does it say about anything here. He blinks, and think for a moment.]
... I'm not sure. Music is nice to listen to. Maybe I just have good hearing?
I'm sorry for the late tag
[She felt like trying it out and so she did, and the owner of the instrument had been kind enough to let her try.]
What do you turn into? I heard people have all kinds of different forms, but I haven't seen anything like that yet. I think we're supposed to fight but how does someone fight with a guitar?
no worries
[So while he can't be used like a proper weapon, he's still useful that way.]
Hmm... by hitting them like a bludgeon? [If anything, that's a very simple, direct way of fighting.]
<3
[She'd pull so many pranks! Something fun and lighthearted for this place.]
You and your god are like ninjas.
no subject
[He blinks for a moment. Well, that's... not too strange of an idea. At least for practical uses.
It's kind of an interesting mental image for him to think of Sakura as a ninja.]
I guess so? She dressed more like a priestess than a ninja, though. [Then again, a ninja could disguise themselves as one?]
no subject
[Just mirroring his own thoughts.]
no subject
I wouldn't know about that. But I guess I can ask her.
no subject
[Or is someone allowed to tell another person if they're a ninja?]
She should teach me her ninja ways.
no subject
[Is he allowed to tell others about it? Maybe she's fine with it. Or maybe she rather keep it under wraps?!]
Before that, I actually need to ask her first if she's really a ninja. And then if it's okay for me to say anything... if she's a ninja.

no subject
Do I have to wink five times for that?
