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 are five or six white-robed shinki present, who 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. Both Sabimei and his animated straw training dummies are absent from this training session, but standard, inanimate straw targets have been lined up outside, and a few rings are laid out on the frozen ground for friendly sparring matches. (Shinki characters who are interested in learning more about the borderlines or want to learn new shinki spells or songs may approach any of the training shinki for advice or instruction. Please remember to comment on the Shinki Spells page when your character begins to learn a new spell, excluding the borderline.)
Physical Training
- There is still clean-up left to work on from the volcano's eruption. Two tengu (one of whom characters might recognize as the hot springs' proprietor) have volunteered to help transport any gods or shinki who are willing to help clear trees, dig or wash away ash on roads and roofs, and repair damage to occupied temples. The abandoned temples that were damaged by the earthquake and volcano are being left to decay, although anyone who's curious about them could take the offer of a free ride to explore some of those abandoned and damaged buildings as well. Some might contain old books or mementos of the long-vanished owners; others have nothing left inside but dust, mold, and curious spirits.
Back at the training ground, characters who aren't helping clean up the Western district have the option of playing sparring games to test their reflexes. The white-robed shinki are organizing them into pairs in the marked circles and explaining the rules: each participant is given 10 seconds on offense to score a hit with any weapon of their choice, from bare hands to sparring weaponry to shinki magic, while their partner is only allowed to dodge or defend. After five rounds, the person with more points gets to declare a penalty for their partner: drawing on their face with a marker, ordering them to do something silly or embarrassing, making them fetch tea... it's up to the winner!
Rest and Refreshments
- After the gods' training lecture is finished, a few of the white-robed shinki bustle back in to set up craft tables and a buffet area. This time, the theme seems to be a sweet English tea: little cakes, scones, jams, cookies, tiny finger sandwiches and a vast array of chocolates are available, as well as many different teapots, with hot water dispensers and loose tea available to let everyone brew to their own tastes as they venture in to rest or talk to their new partners.
Over on the craft tables, there's all kinds of art and craft supplies available, from construction paper to calligraphy brushes, glitter to gouache. Signs on the tables encourage gods and shinki to show their appreciation for each other with a
In Summary:
- Get all the information you can handle
- Veteran new gods and shinki are welcome to volunteer showing the ropes
- Explore damaged temples or practice sparring
- Enjoy a tea and make some valentines
- Have fun~
I mean technically XD
"I'm afraid I know very little about this planet in comparison to others," he explains apologetically. "But cultures and mythologies has always been one of my primary interests alongside scientific advancement." Which really had made him a perfect candidate for the role of Prometheus. If he has it his way, Earth's people would soon make jumps forward in their technology. He's fairly sure that it won't be so easy to have it his way, though. Not with the creepy shinki that he has a distinct feeling is actually a spy of some sort.
Shh just let them be friends
Definitely not from Earth. "It's fine. I can teach you thinks. I'm sure everyone else would be happy to teach you, too. If you have access to it the internet will be your best tool - there's countless medias that can teach you things." He glanced to Lotor's Shinki. "Ah, a soulless Shinki. That explains a little, too."
Oh if you're going to be so forceful, I guess I have no choice at all whatsoever ;)
Lotor smiles and moves to an empty table to sit down, but he pauses besides the table, "My name is Lotor. I am the new stand-in for Prometheus, it seems." He offers a hand, "Is this right?" He had taken a few minutes watching others before attempting to introduce himself, picking the method that seemed most used.
Like you mind?
The boy follows Lotor to the table, his lips twitching slightly with the beginnings of a smile. "I'm Adrien Agreste. I'm Bast here." Reaching out he's taking Lotor's hand and giving it a firm friendly shake. "Yep. You're learning fast. You're going to be just fine here."
I mind *so* much. So much that I'm tagging you back. hdu
"What kind of god is Bast?" His shinki taking it upon herself to pull out his chair even as Lotor goes to pull out his own chair. There's a quick glance to her, the first action she has taken on her own besides following him everywhere. He sits and she pushes him in, "thank you, but that isn't nessacary from now on."
"It's part of my duty, sir, but if that is what you wish."
He sighs, but doesn't argue. She said she would listen, but then she just stands behind him to his right. He frowns and tries to ignore the feeling of her presence behind him. It doesn't last long as he indicates another chair, his voice taking on a tone that has a certain edge of power to it as he says, "join us."
She doesn't hesitate to sit down at a chair between him, "I am more than willing to listen to your orders, sir."
Lotor clearly and openly doesn't trust her, "I may believe that in time."
<3
"Oh no, she's right. She might be soulless but Shinki are here to help you. It's not absolute subjugation but once you give a Shinki a name they're with you until you take the name away pretty much. It was a little weird but I was a Shinki once and all I wanted to do when I was a Shinki was make my goddess happy and keep her safe."
Adrien is moving to prepare their tea humming softly to himself. "I understand being wary of strangers. But she's on your side."
<3
He folds his hands, leaning on the table with his mouth hidden by his fingers, "To act so similar and be someone 'given' to me by the Heavens? Sometimes the witch gives her target a simple order, or just the order to stand by and act like themselves until she gives her order." And that was just one reason that he didn't trust the Heavens already.
no subject
Adrien fixed his own then settled back. "Well she's not yours. You don't own her or anything. She's with you until you get assigned a non-soulless shinki. There just apparently weren't enough of those to go around this time I suspect so the had this one come to help you in the meantime. After all if you wan into an ayakashi you'd be in danger since I'm fairly certain God's can't rend them on their own.."
