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~
it's true, he deserves the best ;; survive minako, snake!!
Adrien? What does he look like? [ And since she truly can't resist it, she adds in an almost conspiracy-like whisper-- ] Is he cute?
With that comment he might not.
[And then a little louder,] says Ayn. [Though the voice was decidedly not the one he used for her earlier.]
no subject
Oooh.
Minako is picking up some vibes here, especially with that last part added a moment later.. Her facial expression turns a little michievous. ]
And what does the person between the snakes think?
no subject
His eyes are wide as he glances away, but then gives the tiniest of nods.
Adrien had confessed to loving both him and Marinette while he was dying. He only recently came back as a God. He'd been so busy mourning him that he hadn't really processed his own feelings for Adrien yet, even though somewhere he knew just how he felt.
That didn't mean a lifetime of Victorian ideals, even as subverted as they had often been in the Circus, hadn't ingrained some things in him.]
no subject
Minako has no memories of love. She knows of the concept, of course, but she doesn't remember whether she has ever been in love herself. But just knowing of love in general by itself makes her glad enough to see someone so full of it. ]
Then.. If you haven't done so yet already, you should definitely let them know, you know.
no subject
I don't want to overwhelm Marinette, and I'm not sure what kind of love it is says Ayn....
[He doesn't immediately switch to using Ayn's voice, instead sliding into it early on.]
no subject
Hmm.. Well, then let's figure out what kind it is! [ New and kind of overwhelmed in a strange place? Clearly the first thing Minako ought to do is give love advice to random strangers. ] What do you feel when you see her?
no subject
[He closes his eyes to the dance for a moment,] A little ill, too. It hurts my chest and my stomach, says Ayn.
no subject
[ And pretty cute. Too bad that means Minako is missing out on a chance here, but it's not like she'll just ignore someone who's having love problems either. Especially someone who was nice enough to dance with her. ]
The love doctor's diagnosis is in! You're definitely in love!
no subject
What if I feel like that about two people?
[Because things couldn't be that simple, of course.]
no subject
I mean.. Who knows! Maybe those two people like both you and each other too, and then you could become a wild threeway romance! That's so much love going around!
[ Even she sounds excited about the very idea. ]
Ahh.. If only that could happen to me one day too!
no subject
no subject
Then what are you still waiting for?! Go get your wild, yet beautiful romance!
no subject
But Marinette hasn't been acting the same since. [Minako, save them! Find out what Marinette thinks!
Says Ayn.
no subject
Regardless, she does feel a somewhat instinctive need to help out people with love problems regardless, so she can't just dismiss what he's saying now. She frowns for a moment, thinking, before she continues. ]
What do these two look like? If I ever happen to see them, I'll make sure to find out what's up!
no subject
He's looking between Minako and the phone to get her thoughts on them. He already thinks of them as his precious gods, and wonders if seeing them acting like this together should still make his heart flutter.]
no subject
She studies the picture pretty intensely for a moment when he returns with it, but then she just smiles at him. ]
They look cute! I can see why you like them. [ They'd probably look cute with him included too, she thinks. ] I'll make sure to keep an eye out-- don't worry, you can count on me!
[ She even does a salute and all after that. For the dramatic effect. ]
