Summary: Training and informational sessions for newly arrived gods and shinki
Gods and shinki arriving at heaven's meeting hall are brought into small one-on-one meeting rooms as they appear, with a white-robed shinki offering them an explanation of their current role, the name of the god they will represent or the god they will serve, and directions to the temple that will be their new home.
They are cordially invited to a training session beginning in early afternoon, after they've had the chance to return to their homes, meet their new partners, and have their questions answered.
Morning/On the Road
- New gods and shinki are being packed off to their new temples for the morning to settle in and meet their partners -- this is also a good time to visit with new neighbors or explore the area! What does your new temple look like? Are you headed straight there, or taking the scenic route to get a better sense of your new surroundings? The Western District is still scarred from the aftereffects of a recent volcanic eruption and earthquake, with fissures in some of the roads and burn scars in the wild landscape. The volcanic ash, though, seems to be serving as fertilizer for vast swaths of unfamiliar and colorful wildflowers that line the roads despite the fact that the weather is late-February chilly.
Shinki Training
- A well-appointed dojo has been prepared for newcomers to practice their physical or magical arts. Outside, there are two impromptu target practice areas: one is for long-range weapons, with targets set up against hay bales at the other side of a wide, grassy area and a line drawn for the weapons' wielders to stand behind. The other is for borderlines, and a number of young children wearing short coats marked with Amaterasu's golden chrysanthemum on white are dashing around practicing their own borderlines against scary paper masks tied onto bushes or other haybales. The game seems to require a cutting borderline that will cut the mask without damaging the gardeners' hard work on the bushes.
Inside the dojo, there's room for several pairs to spar, and weapons are set up all along one wall, everything from polearms to rifles, chakrams to broadswords. They're all meant for practice, with edges dulled or padded to avoid any accidental deaths, but sparring partners will still have to be careful to avoid injury. Although there are many fewer white-robed shinki here than usual, except for the children, there is one adult shinki keeping an eye on things inside the dojo and one keeping an eye on things in the yard. They are willing to answer questions, help with borderlines or teach shinki new spells on request. Comment to the NPC REQUEST form to request a thread with one of them or if you have questions about handwaving an interaction.
Physical Training
- The last vestiges of winter have melted away from most of the Heavens, but one section of the Meeting Hall grounds appears not to have gotten the message. Snow is piled waist or even shoulder high, the trees and bushes show no sign of fresh leaves, and an ornamental pool is frozen as hard as a rock, with the drifting shadows of koi barely visible under the thick ice. It's the perfect opportunity to play in the snow, and many of the shinki children are already taking advantage of it, sliding on the ice or throwing snowballs.
For those who brave the heavy snow, they may discover an an old woman in the center of the frozen area. She's wearing heavy white makeup and a straw coat, and humming cheerfully as she pounds rice into mochi. Anyone who finds her will be offered freshly made mochi and a cup of warm sake to fortify them for the snowball fights!
Rest and Refreshments
- Gods and shinki who are finished with their training can step into a large room in the Meeting Hall that has been set up with comfortable cushions and low tables. Tea, liquor and a wide variety of savory dishes are available, with the drinks already set out on the tables and the savory dishes set up in chafing dishes on a buffet table along one wall. Guests can help themselves, settle in, chat, and make new friends. There's even a dessert table, well-stocked with plenty of chocolate, most of which seems to be mysteriously heart-shaped.
After eating, there are a variety of board and card games available for guests to play. From classic games like shogi, go and mahjong to more modern ones like Trivial Pursuit or Pictionary -- or Cards Against Humanity -- there's something for everyone.
In Summary:
- Get all the information you can handle
- Veteran new gods and shinki are welcome to volunteer showing the ropes
- Practice sparring or shinki magic
- Enjoy a buffet dinner and party games
- Have fun~

[ Hibiki has determined the Ideal Course. She pulls her goggles back down over her eyes. ] I won't slow down if you can't keep up!
no subject
Alright then. But if I break anything I'm holding you personally responsible, alright?
[Maybe this won't be so bad. She's figured out how to move around fairly easily. Maybe her experience with her Symphogear will make this all naturally intuitive for her...]
no subject
[ If there looks like danger of you doing so, she'll catch you. But she won't admit as much. Shikyoin Hibiki never had a decent human impulse that she couldn't pretend not to experience.
Anyway, they look about ready. She holds two fingers up to her forehead in a salute. ] Au revoir.
[ And with that, Hibiki pushes herself off and heads down the hill! ]
no subject
It's more than she was prepared for, but she's not immediately off her game as she was on ice skates. She's able to stay relatively stable, but she's using her skipoles to pull her forward repeatedly in an attempt to catch up to Hibiki.]
no subject
She hunches low on her skis, tracing the path in the snow that will permit her the ultimate momentum. All courses have this - this one sweet spot - and Hibiki intends to ride that line all the way down.
There's a rock in it, though, and Hibiki swerves to avoid it, kicking up a bit of snow in so doing. It arcs through the air, graceful as a swan's wing. ]
Hm.
[ ....If you wanted to follow a path down this hill, Chris, there's a. Trail of purple sparkles. In the air. ]
no subject
... But then there's a rock in her way, and Chris hasn't figured out how to do anything except push forward. Her eyes widen and she clenches her teeth shut, calling on her experience as a Gear user to think on the fly, in a matter of moments.
Unfortunately, that causes her to do something on instinct that might be regarded as cheating.]
Killter Ichaival tron
[In a flash of light, Chris is covered in an elaborate red armor that immediately begins blasting music out all around. Chris makes the jump and lands with enough force to make a crater in the snow, before she slams her poles into the ground and rushes forward, quickly gaining on Hibiki.]
no subject
[ It's a brief interjection, startled out of Hibiki more by the sudden start of EXTREMELY RAUCOUS MUSIC, but when the light show fades she tries to chuckle. And you'd had to be baited into this.... ]
So you've gotten serious, hm.
[ ...The music is still going.
This could become a problem. ]
no subject
[Chris's reply is practically a roar, as she speeds up on Hibiki like a bullet. Her instincts take hold even more now that she's in Gear form, so she's much more stable as she comes up on her.
All the while, an extremely energetic and passionate song about friendship is resounding all around them, with Chris even providing vocals between her barking back at Hibiki.]
no subject
She's good at singing.
She's very good at singing.
A smile splits Hibiki's face - the smile of having found someone worth fighting in an arena she hadn't expected. ]
Then I'll overwhelm you until you break!
[ Hibiki hadn't even realized she'd been phoning it in herself until this moment, but, no more! Off she shoots. She'd found a worthy opponent! Queen Maria retired from their battle, Queen Tsubasa departed, Chinatsu only dances -
But this irritatingly vulgar and rude lump of coal had been hiding a diamond.
INTERESTING! ]
no subject
[Small thrusters on the backs of her hips fire, accelerating just enough to catch up to Hibiki, leaving a trail of melted snow in her wake. She comes up beside the prince, a wide grin crossing her face as matches her.
Looking up at the night sky filled with galaxies!
Like the stars before me, I'm know I'm not alone!
Goodbye...to the me of yesterday!
I'm singing this as I shine brightly...!
no subject
[ That's....not fair play, strictly speaking, but Hibiki has to give her props for staying balanced on her skis despite it. So she smirks - and banks off to one side. Where there is a little additional bump in this hill.
It's enough for a jump. So yeah.
That is a thing that is going to happen now. ]
no subject
[Ah, a jump! This is the ultimate test of her abilities! But Hibiki is talking a big game... still, it'd be a bit cheap to use her tactic of missile riding now...
No, she's going to do this on pure momentum! She hits the jump, and goes flying...!
Heights aren't so scary when you're transformed.]no subject
[ Words are cheap. Actions are eternal.
Chris may take the jump on her Symphogear, but Hibiki? Once Hibiki is airborne, Hibiki crosses her arms over her chest and goes into an ice-skating jump spin instead of a pure ski jump, twisting her body in midair in ways that a normal person couldn't manage but a genius sure can
provided they are a cartoon character.A quadruple spin should suffice, yes? ]
no subject
... which causes her to forget she's about to land, causing her to hit the ground inelegantly, landing in an absolute heap upon the ground. If she weren't transformed, she'd have been seriously hurt, but this is just a momentary inconvenience for her.
Unfortunately, it's a momentary inconvenience right in front of the finish line.]
no subject
And sails that way across the would-be finish, then corrects herself and slows to a stop, perfectly composed. No shortness of breath, no sweat, nothing. This truly was a simple maneuver for her.
A glance behind herself once she's stopped. Did you at least bother to recover? ]
no subject
She doesn't meet the other God's gaze. She just glares hatefully at the snow, as her armor disintegrates around her and returns to the clothes she was wearing before.]
no subject
[ She can admit that much, in victory. This girl has certainly caught her attention, as an up-and-coming god.
That is not, however, what she says. Because why would she say something nice. ]
A pity the finale wasn't worthy of facing me. What a disappointment.
no subject
[She turns away, and starts to march off to where she can take her skis off.
Before she does, she stops and turns.]
I'm gonna show you what I can really do someday. Count on it.
no subject
[ ....This, Hibiki has decided, is a much more interesting (and entertaining) way to handle having found a new landmine of raw talent. Its detonation should prove brilliant.
The world wouldn't cross Shikyoin Hibiki by having it fizzle, after all. ]
no subject
You haven't begun to see what I'm capable of.
[She raises a finger, and points at Hibiki, raising her thumb in the likeness of a gun.]
Bang.
[Then, she turns away to drop off her gear and leave... and also hide how embarrassed she is with herself.]
no subject
[ Quaint. Hibiki will give her her space, at least.
If only to demonstrate exactly how wide a chasm separates them. ]
