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~

[He nods glancing down at his hands.] I... I confessed. I confessed to them both. I think we all need some time.

[He paused exhaling softly.]
I got hurt fighting an ayakashi and I got sick.I don't remember too much of those days - just them there by me taking care of me - most of it is kind of a feverish blur? But I remember when we were going to sleep before I woke up a god I told them I loved them. I told them both I love them and now things have been strained?
[He twirled his ring awkwardly on his fingers to distract himself and still their shaking.] I hope it's just because it was so much to take in. So much to process that it's like this. That I didn't ruin everything. [He slumps forward taking his head in his hands.] Leave it to me to destroy everything in one swoop like a bad luck black cat.

[Despite having never been a mother, Celestia has an extraordinary mother voice, firm and gentle all at once. Negative thoughts will not help.]
I do not think you realize this, but -- to become a god here in the Far Shore from a shinki, you may very well have died. If Marinette and Snake actually saw that, they went through a great deal of pain before you returned. Most likely they are coming to terms with that, first and foremost.

[Though that does make him pause and he's inhaling a shaky breath.] I made... I made her watch me die again? [For a third? Fourth...? Fifth time? God, no wonder Marinette is avoiding him like he's got the Plague. He'd avoid him, too. Now he is crying and his words come out broken up by soft hiccups.] I .. didn't know that.
I didn't mean to die. I didn't plan on it. But - but they were in danger and I just acted. I couldn't let them get hurt. I couldn't let either of them get clawed and slashed at like that. I had to protect them. That's why I'm Chat Noir, that's why I have Plagg and my Miraculous - that's how I - that's what you do for the people you love.

[They're so very young.]
But it will be all right. A little time will help you all heal. And then you'll be able to address what you need to, when you all have the strength once again.
no subject
[His hands curled into each other clasping in his lap.]
Before I came here - I lost people some actually lost other there physically but still lost to me in one way or another. I don't want that to happen again. I'll give them time - all the time. I just hope I didn't lose them. I don't even have to be with them with them I just... I would be happy just as friends.

[The subtler approach having worked less well than she might like, Celestia elects to wield the magic of friendship rather more bluntly.]
