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 more experienced god and shinki volunteers.
God Training
- Newly arrived gods are escorted into a small meeting room, with tatami floors and a stage 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. Paper and pens are provided to all the attendees as an unsubtle suggestion to take notes on the information they're given.
The speaker delivers her welcome speech in the monotone of someone who's practiced it far too often. Hopefully no one's feeling sleepy! She adds that gods should be cautious of anyone on the Near Shore who might ask to use their shrines to visit the Heavens, and should instruct their shinki to be cautious as well. There is at least one unrecognized god who the Heavens believe to be attacking them, and another recent incursion by an unrecognized god ended in his defeat and the extinguishing of the volcano he had caused to erupt. 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
- There are stacks of informational pamphlets sitting out on tables around the dojo. There aren't very many of the white-robed shinki around, but the few who are present will willingly answer any questions or instruct newcomers in the use of the borderline. They accompany their answers, or their 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. Each of the shinki is wearing a brightly-colored sticky name tag reading HELLO, MY NAME IS ________, and all of their names appear to end with the syllable "mei."
A variety of weapons are available in the dojo for shinki and their gods to practice with, and a row of straw targets are set up along one wall. Outside, in an area carefully roped off with red ribbons, are six animated training dummies, also made of straw and dressed in plain cotton jackets and trousers. They will immediately engage anyone who enters the area marked with the ribbon, but will not pursue opponents outside it. A white-robed shinki who appears upset and visibly distracted is keeping an eye on the training dummies, and will intervene if anyone tries to destroy one. He is wearing a slightly battered nametag that reads HELLO, MY NAME IS SABIMEI. (Sabimei is an expert in shinki magic and will assist characters who need help with spells or who want to learn a new spell. If you want a thread with him or have any questions about handwaving something, please comment on the NPC REQUEST thread below. Characters who want to begin learning a new spell from him do not have to thread it out, but should comment on the Shinki Spells and Songs page to begin learning the spell.)
Physical Training
- There are no special obstacle courses or training areas set up for the newcomers at this welcome session. Instead, the white-robed shinki will invite any gods or shinki who are willing to help with cleanup in the Western District of the Far Shore. A recent volcanic eruption has left heavy ash fall on temple roofs and fallen trees or mud clogging roads. Some of them are singing in chorus to summon small rainstorms or winds to clear away the obstacles; others are just using brooms and ropes to sweep away ash or drag away trees, and help of the magical or physical variety will be appreciated.
Rest and Refreshments
- Once it begins to grow dark, everyone helping to clean up the Western District will be brought back to the dojo to rejoin those who chose to remain there. Traditional public baths are available for everyone to wash off the mud, ash and sweat of their hard work and soak comfortably in a warm communal pool afterwards, and a generous banquet has been laid for everyone. The tables are full of beer and sake (or tea and soda for the non-drinkers), plates of sushi and sashimi, deep-fried vegetables and shrimp, and warm soups to counteract the chill of the January weather.
After dinner, a middle-aged woman sets up an open mic. She starts out the evening by turning on her karaoke machine and performing a few jazzy older songs, and turns the mic over from there to a man with very old-fashioned manners who recites a few poems. Anyone who wants to take time at the microphone is welcome, whether they're performing, doing karaoke, telling jokes, or delivering speeches or information.
In Summary:
- Get all the information you can handle
- Veteran new gods and shinki are welcome to volunteer showing the ropes
- Help clean up ash and clear roads
- Enjoy a welcome banquet
- Have fun~

[Ahh a nice hot bath. Best thing ever. It feels like something is missing though.....
Oh, right. A completely inane conversation. He turns to the person nearest him.]
Hey... why do you think they call those little styrofoam packing thingies 'peanuts?'
[That is clearly relevant.]
A new shinki!
[Yumoto was informed this morning that he's been assigned a new shinki. Yay! Now he just needs to find him.]
Excuse me! I'm looking for...
[Quick check of a paper in his hand.]
Ryunosuke Akutagawa. Do you know him?
no subject
He's in the middle of taking a break when he feels someone bump into him. He turns around looking at the blonde with scrutinizing grey eyes, but it doesn't seem to faze the other. Instead he's looking down at his paper and continuing on as usual. Akutagawa looks like he's ready to walk away when the teen announces his name.
He pauses, still not sure how to handle this interaction.]
...Who's asking?
no subject
[While not helpful, that technically answers the question. And for a moment, it seems like he's going to leave it at that.
But then he adds...]
I'm Yumoto Hakone. Aaannnd also the god Cupid. Nice to meet you~
no subject
At first, Akutagawa isn't sure why a god is coming up to him and introducing himself. Then it dawns upon him that the teen must be his new master.]
Oh? Then you must be the one I'm assigned to. I apologize for my rudeness. It is indeed a pleasure to meet you as well.
[He's not going to go as far as to kneel or bow, but he does tip his head forward to show respect. If anything it's an attempt to hide how anxious he is. Finally, his god appears before him, it felt almost like an eternity.]
I suppose you must make our partnership official, and bestow me a name.
no subject
Yup!
[He's actually a little taken aback by the apology and the general formality. He hadn't noticed any rudeness in the first place.
And based on previous experience he'd been expecting at least a little reluctance, but Akutagawa seems completely willing to accept a name right out of the gate.]
Um, we can do that, but.... don't you have any questions or want to know anything about me first? You can ask anything you want. I won't mind.
no subject
However, since he presents the opportunity maybe he can discern what type of god he is. If this boy is worthy of him, then he has issue serving him to the best of his ability.]
Very well. I want to know how do you feel about fighting and eradicating ayakashi.
[He's been here for a while, and he's heard varying opinions from both gods and shinki.He certainly has his mind made up on the subject, but if they were to clash on this topic, it could be a dealbreaker.]
no subject
Well... I used to beat up monsters back home all the time. And ayakashi are worse. So we gotta get rid of them. I'm okay with that.
[Yumoto has a surprisingly practical view of fighting. He probably gets it from his brother.]
How do you feel about it?
no subject
He does find the blonde's answer to be satisfactory, and he's in complete agreement with the other's words]
Indeed. We need to do what we can to get rid of the ayakashi. I'm glad you share the same sentiment.
[Although, he's curious of what type of monsters Yumoto battled from his world. He says the ayakashi are a lot worse, but he still has experience.]
What kind of monsters did you have to fight against in your world?
no subject
He's happy for a conversation though!]
no subject
[A thoughtful pause...]
I like bubble wrap better though.
no subject
no subject
[It's really fun provided you're very easily amused, anyway.]
no subject
Like bath bubbles?
no subject
[Ask a stupid, get a stupid answer. Considering the book is floating on its back in the bath and looking distinctly displeased with the fact, Zetta really isn't in the mood to answer productively.]
no subject
[Yumoto is impressed. That must be a lot of money!]
no subject
[Hey, maybe helping him with this whole 'stuck floating on his back' thing would be pretty cool? Zetta is too proud to ask, though he keeps shooting glances over.]
