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~

[ God he's such a pushover. he's really doing as told. Well, he'll try at least, even though he's never acted in his life OR afterlife.
So in a bit he comes back, looking very flustered. ]
F-f-f-freeze, I'm your e-enemy...!
[ Look, he tried. ]
no subject
She stands corrected. She can't do this. This is hopeless. All is lost.
Dark clouds of despair physically begin forming around her head. ]
no subject
[ He fidgets with his braid, worried that she'll think he's making fun of her or something. ]
no subject
A world without genius is a cold, dreary place. ]
....We'll switch you to stage crew, moving forward.
[ The pyramid of spygoats serving as cameraservant lean in to try to change the angle they're filming at and in so doing topple over, taking the tripod and the camera with them, which seems....about right.
Sorry about the crash. ]
no subject
B-but, I'm not...
[ He feels so bad that he's about to agree even though he's not involved in this in the first place, when the crash interrupts. He squeaks, and cringes back to cover his face before peeking at what made the sound. ]
Th-that wasn't m-me w-was it?
[ Why in the world would it be? ]
no subject
Hibiki tries to stand and sways in place. This is no good. She. She's so drained, she can barely remain upright. ]
I'm taking a rest. Teaching you your duties will be left to them.
[ "Them" being....more small toy goats. And one real goat. Which bleats in welcome.
Maaaaaaa. ]
no subject
I h-h-have a first aid k-k-kit if you, if you n-need anything...!
[ He proceeds to look between her and the goats and the real goat. Honestly, coming from where he does, the goat is the least weird part. ]
A-a-are you okay?
no subject
This is an emergentea! ]
no subject
Wh-what do I, d-do to help?
[ He's asking the goat, because all animals talk in Sheol, that's why he can't eat meat anymore. ]
no subject
Then it bleats, long and low and completely unhelpful. No talking goats here. You would have to be Hibiki's teammate for that, and she is in the wrong puniverse.
Hibiki is trying to sip her tea, but when she accidentally sloshes some on herself, the shock is enough that she drops the teacup with a crash. Now a spygoat with a dustpan is rolling past.... ]
no subject
Ignoring that he gets hi knees covered in hot tea he kneels in front of her, fumbling with his back with hi (too big) first aid kit. ]
Can you h-hear what I'm saying? P-please nod or do a-anything else if you can u-understand me.
no subject
[ Hibiki has finally made it to her chair, into which she collapses with a mighty, noble flop. (Technically, this is the second chair she's had to bring here, but if she thinks about what happens to the first chair, she will definitely not leave this thread alive.)
In so doing, her head bobs and her hair sways in what might or might not be a nod. But it is a sign of life! ]
no subject
D-does it hurt a-anywhere?
no subject
A goat rolls up bearing more tea. If at first you don't succeed, try try again.
Especially if you are a simple stuffed robot goat, and only know how to handle things one way. ]
no subject
He pulls out a water bottle and holds it out to her. ]
H-here. Water. Do you want p-pain medication?
no subject
I drink nothing directly.
[ Here comes yet another spygoat. It has a fancy empty glass on it. It and teagoat exchange places, then both look at their tall new friend. They brought a cup!
They're being helpful. ]
no subject
[ He's normally scared of everything, but he takes his job seriously. And she already made a mess. ]
It's s-safer.
no subject
[ That wasn't directed at him so much as...a grunt of exertion at the way she just popped a vein in frustration. As much as she'd love to teach him his place - she can't deny she spills.....
In so doing, however, she has automatically curved her fingers into the perfect contours for holding onto something. This is his chance. For better or for worse. Cup, or bottle? Which will he choose? ]
no subject
D-don't worry, I wash the b-bottle even when no one's used i-it. It's c-clean and the water's f-fresh.
no subject
[ But she has to fortify herself somehow, so she chugs the bottle (get this over with quickly and then she never has to think about it again), then chucks the empty bottle at him.
If you consider that she could have discarded it, she's actually being quite considerate......When seen from a certain angle. ]
Are you quite done making a mockery of butling?
[ And yet, look who's 1) upright 2) focused 3) forming whole sentences.
It worked! ]
no subject
I'm n-not a butler though...
[ Now that she seems much better though, maybe holding a cup will be easier. ]
D-do you want a fruit?
no subject
[ Why did he come over anyway? It can't have been out of concern for her.
Can it? ]
no subject
A-are you feeling better n-now? I'm s-sorry that I made a m-mess of everything.
no subject
[ Hibiki stands up, adjusts her costume. That is a concerned look he's giving her. They're barely acquainted.
It still gives her a start, sometimes, to meet people like that. She'd lived most of her life believing they couldn't possibly exist. ] Make no fuss.
[ Soon she might have to demand an apology for all the apologizing and that would just be absurd. Let's just. Put the afternoon. Behind ourselves. That is a fantastic idea. ]
no subject
[ He puts his bottle so he can clean and refill it later on. He's not sure if he should offer to leave or not at this point, since his presence had been part of the chaos. Maybe he should ask. Should probably introduce himself first though. ]
I'm R-Rasu, I, I a-always carry first aid kits a-and stuff like this s-so if you need anything l-let me know? I'm a n-nurse.
