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~

P-puniverse?
[ Does she know principal Midou? ]
no subject
Primension.
[ STILL UNHELPFUL, STILL UNREPENTANT.
In any case, she's still not feeling her best, and her actor turned stagehand is actually a medic. She knows what that means: more abrupt changes of plans! ]
Filming's concluded for the day. I'll have you on call for set emergencies.
[ Congratulations? ]
no subject
S-set emergencies? Like wh-what?
no subject
[ Obviously. She knows that fellow geniuses are few and far between, but, goodness! ]
no subject
i'm so sorry about her
[ She's done trying to fit square pegs in round holes. The Far Shore has delivered her a nurse. He will do nurse things.
(This is all, of course, hinging on whether or not she thinks to call him during said emergency or if she tries to fix the problem by yelling at it instead....so it's entirely likely that he's off the hook.) ]
um i love her tho
Ah, o-okay, that I can d-do. Do you need my ph-phone number?
i'm happy to hear that.....she loves her too
[ ...which are probably just that "everyone's listed in the PPS, which is really the BBS, but Hibiki's puniverse has a P pun problem". But. GENIUS.
Yet another spygoat shows up with yet more tea. When you program things to notice patterns, they make surprisingly good servants! ]
Await my call and the dawning of a splendid revolution.
[ Sip. ]

[ He's not great at the BBS. Thankfully he's got a little notebook and pen that he pulls out of his pocket and puts on the edge of her teacup's saucer. She's a prince and all, surely there's a saucer to go with that cup if you're fancy. ]
no subject
[ She had already revealed that such was unnecessary, but it's only his time he's wasting, so, so be it. While he handles that, she can continue this very important tea drinking.
The goat who'd brought the saucer over (of course, indeed, there was a saucer) does a circle at Rasu's feet. Thanks for coming over. It was fun. ]
no subject
[ Look, she might need it. He always carry first aid kits with him, unless he's at home where he has several of them around if needed.
He prepares himself to leave now, since he's not needed anymore. ]
C-call me any t-time.

The goats have the good manners to escort him on his way to the door. Bye! Bye! Bye! Bye!
Have a good maaaaaafternoon! ]

Bye bye. ]
