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.

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.
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~

[She doesn't look that much older than Yui herself.]
Just so you know, I'll be super-duper tough!! [She punches the air in a demonstration a couple times...!!]
no subject
You talk a big game, but I don't think you could make a Borderline half as good as mine or a quarter as strong. Of course, I've had some practice...
no subject
[ Yui no ]
I'll even let you go first!
no subject
[Nia almost casually traces a line with her fingers, from which the Borderline erupts at her invocation. Then, she makes the calculated choice of folding her arms and smirking. Holding it up against a real all-out attack's easier if she's bracing herself, but she's pretty confident she can handle whatever this kid throws at her.]
1/2
But that's fine! This just means she has to work extra hard at it.]
Easy-peasy squeezy-breezy! [Or however it goes. She's done this a whole few times now!]
Line-!
[Her movements are much more exaggerated. Her own line rushes forward, flickers, and then dies against the whole she's cast it at.
. . . ]
2/2
no subject
[Nia's wicked grin shows off her fangs perfectly.]
1/2
Is that how you treat a new up and coming shinki!? You better prepare yourself then! For this super Yui crazy attack!
2/2
[She throws her hand out again-- and again and again and again and again and again]
LINE, LINE, LINE, LINE, LINE, LINE, LINE, LINE, LINE--!
no subject
[Nia jerks one hand up and splays her fingers, the other hovering over her forearm like she's bracing it.] I've been here about two weeks, kid! I'm just good!
[Innately, by coincidence and luck -- stuff she won't ever tell, not if she can help it. And right now she's grateful. This girl's out of control! Nia grits her teeth and pours effort right back into her Borderline, the wall diminishing with each strike and swelling again like some weird kind of breathing.]
You better not get anyone else hurt!
no subject
Just worry about yourself!
[The more she flings the attack at the other girl's barrier the more tired she feels, though. Ugh. She needs to wrap things up.]
Prepare yourself! I'm going to end it all with this last attack....!
no subject
1/2
[Bull-dozing forward she turns, spinning on the spot and leg moving to kick the barrier at the same time she throws her hand out to release her own.
She's moving fast--! A powerful kick to be sure--!!]
LI--
2/2
And crashes to the ground face first.
S-She lost. Her noble and hard fought battle.
Also. Ouch.
T_T ]
no subject
Um.
[Yeaaaaah.]
You all right there? That looks like it smarts.
no subject
Ahh-- that was really hard.
no subject
[Or both? Nia crouches slightly, resting her arms on her knees as she appraises the kid for damage.]
no subject
Doing those borderlines over and over again. [Plus the floor. Plus her failed move... plus her pride.]
They look so simple though.
no subject
They're simple, but you have to have real power behind them. The cutting ones are a little easier -- you try and stand up like I was and you'll go down in seconds if you don't know what you're doing.
no subject
[Crap... she's not a weak shinki, is she!?]
What did you do to practice?
no subject
[And she has certain other advantage, but...]
How 'bout you give it a try?
no subject
This one is going to be super-duper strong though!
[And she casts her own, determined not to let it fall so easily]
no subject
[Nia aims a cutting Borderline at the fringe of hers, where there's no chance of it punching through and causing any harm to anyone.]
no subject
[Its still standing! She jumps up, spinning around cheerfully. She managed to make a decent one.]
Look, it stayed! I did it!
