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.

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~

For a girl as cute as you, there'd be a dozen or more willing... But it happens I'm first in line. And was offering implicitly already, so the remaining eleven can bemoan their loss. [He winks broadly, even as he tosses back his cape with one arm so that it snaps dramatically behind him, and in the same motion produces his Far Shore-issued phone.]
Are you familiar with one of these, by chance?
no subject
No, I don't think I've seen one of those here yet.. I mean, I know what it is! [ Kind of. 90s kid. Used to brick phones. ] It just doesn't seem like something they'd have in the afterlife.
no subject
Oh, you're doing better than me than. Total mystery to me, but I think I've learned it okay. [Because fantasy-medieval guy. But conveniently, one that has a knack for technology, thanks to a series of circumstances he doesn't remember, after all.] So, why don't we trade numbers? That way, should you be in need...
no subject
(Good to know that there were definitely also cute guys in the past though!!) ]
Oh.. Yes! [ It seems to take a moment for it to click in her head that she's getting a cute guy's number, which immediately makes her look a little overly eager. ] Yes, we definitely should trade numbers! I'll save yours at the top of the list!
[ She doesn't even know how to do that. And probably says that to all the boys. But it's still important to say. ]
no subject
[Spinning his phone in his hand, Edge displays it proudly so she can copy his number over.] List me however you like -- but if it's what you'd prefer, my name is Edge.
[Between flirting and Serious Thoughts he hadn't even properly introduced himself! So, handily, this also serves as a fairly smooth way to do that in his opinion.]
no subject
Also Minako has no idea how to work modern phones yet, so you know what? She just grabs a pen off one of the nearby tables and starts writing down his number on her hand. No shame in letting anyone see she's already getting one cute guy's number, that's a true accomplishment!!
She even holds him up with a big smile. Totally proud. ]
I'll send you a message once I got it all figured out, then you'll have my number too! And then I'll tell you which name I picked.. It can be a surprise!
no subject
[Edge puts a hand over his heart, bows his head, and affects a look of extreme solemn worry, which he promptly spoils with his own playful wink right back.]
no subject
[ Minako is not dumb enough to not realise the worry on his face is mostly just played, but she playfully goes along with it anyway, smiling. ]
Do I look like the kind of girl to break anyone's heart? You'll hear from me sooner than you'll even have the time to miss me! [ She just has to settle a few things here first. ] So.. I'm going to go look for my god now, and then you'll hear from me soon, alright?
no subject
Of course! But -- [And beneath the mask he's grinning shamelessly, because this line is way over the top and he knows it] -- may I beg a name, to sigh wistfully while I wait?
no subject
Minako!
[ Who needs last names anyway, right? First name basis with all the cute guys, always! ]
So should I just call you mystery man in return?
no subject
no subject
She glances around her for a moment, and then immediately back to him. ]
Well, I should go look for my god now then.. But you'll be sure to hear from me later! [ She starts walking away, putting up a hand to wave at him as she disappears into the crowd. ] Don't forget me in the meantime!
no subject
[Really cute girl.]
