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~

[ Hibiki sighs, crossing her arms in a huff. ] Honestly. To provide such a performance at an inopportune time.....
[ .....
......
.........Sulking is getting difficult.
His looking like her is distracting. ]
no subject
Divas.
no subject
........ ]
How long do you intend to maintain my form?
[ It's a pale (well, a dark) imitation of her full splendor, that's for sure, but it's still her. And thus: ] Its borrowed brilliance is absorbing.
[ Hibiki has been known to be waylaid by her own reflection in stray puddles. So you'll pardon her for abruptly abandoning the conversation in favor of a suddenly far more...pressing...matter. ]
no subject
What.
[Is she really...?]
[oh god she really was.]
PfffftAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! Just taking a moment to reflect on how stupid you look!
no subject
A teacup on a small table just out of filming range suddenly develops a crack out of nowhere. ]
Don't use my mouth for cheap-shot puns.
no subject
What's the matter? See a little too much of yourself in me? Or just a shadow of your old self?
no subject
[ Hibiki feels physically ill. Her...stomach..... ]
no subject
no subject
[ Hibiki has to lean on a setpiece. Fortunately, it's one of the ones that's real, not generated by her illusion powers.
The goats on the camera have locked onto this drama and are zooming in for a nice close-up. ]
no subject
Well, well... In the end, it looks like you were your own worst enemy.
[He summons the prop sword back]
Now for the real star to take center stage!
no subject
[ Don't get her wrong, from all this see-sawing. She still feels sick from having to watch herself make all those puns.
But really. How very dare! ]
no subject
[and in a blink he's back to his usual ghostly self--though the prop sword seems a bit small in his hand now]
Any last words before curtain call?
no subject
[ ...Don't answer that.
Hibiki's sword is suddenly in her hand, and so is a single white glove. Her offense in this moment is unlimited. He provides incredible fodder for the wrong movie, transforms into a shadow version of her inimitable perfection, perverses that form with farcical dialogue, and then insists on returning right back where they'd started?!
Part of her wants to stalk off to her room to recover. But more important than the condition of her body--
IS THE CONDITION OF HER PRIDE! ]
I'm at my limit! This isn't a battle scene - I'M DEMANDING A DUEL!!
[ And she tosses the glove right in Snatcher's ghostly face. Take THAT! They'll fight, all right, but because she wants to shut you up! Not because YOU say so!
So there!! ]
no subject
A duel, huh? All right.
[He disappears and pops up about ten feet away, a ring of flasks filled with a neon blue liquid floating above his head]
LET'S DANCE, PRETTY BOY!
[And with a single, dramatic hand sweep, he launches them her way, each one crashing against the ground, the glass breaking in small explosions.]
no subject
[ Projectiles?! BOMBS?!
Hibiki glances about, ensuring no one else is in the area (they're not, except for the spygoat robots filming). Satisfied with this - if nothing else - she leaps backwards out of the way of the flasks, somersaulting about a dozen times in midair in so doing.
She lands on one knee, sword lifted. ] Curse you....
[ Time to shoot straight forward, propelling herself with godly flight ability, sword out in a fencing thrust, other arm raised as is proper form!
Also, her stray curl got singed in the blast, and is now trailing a little plume of smoke behind her. She has yet to realize this. ]
no subject
OOF!
[He "stumbles" back, a hand to his chest. It only stung, but it stung. He doesn't have to be blue to be vulnerable?!]
[WHAT THE HECK ARE GODS SUPPOSED TO BE?]
NOPE! NOT HAVING ANY OF THIS TODAY!
[The world goes dark save for the Snatcher's glowing features, but then suddenly there appears to be two of him, coming at Hibiki from both sides]
the real twist is they've accidentally tricked each other into training on the training log
[[ hibiki never trains on the training log ]]What?!
[ Must he flaunt his mastery of the scenery so completely?! Hibiki does the only thing she can think of in this situation.
Used to being a god, she flies straight up.
Granted, she is indoors, so how successful this will be depends on how much wiggle room there is towards the ceiling....but if she's able to escape, she'll have a good vantage point to attempt smiting from atop, in a sweeping sword-stroke. ]
Cease your - persistence!
It's a Valentine's Miracle
[The one on the right pauses and "blinks," while the one of the left remains right where it is, and it's only reflex that allows the real Snatcher to pop away just in time.
The lights come back on, only for left!Snatcher--a cardboard cutout--to fall to the side and disappear in a puff of smoke]
Please, like I'm the only stubborn one here! You won't even let me hit you with an exploding flask!
no subject
[ Right on cue, the smoldering ember in her stray curl bursts into a sputter of blue flame, giving off extra smoke.
This is truly a battle for the ages. ]
no subject
I don't know. Someone who finds this fight too hot to handle?
1/hibiki
2/hibiki
3/hibiki
4/hibiki
The problem is therefore handled, though not with 1) aplomb 2) very good aim. ]
hibiki/5
Let's make a clean wash of this quickly.
[ ....going with the flow, or deciding to one-up him to shut him up?
who knows ]
