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~

yellowgold person curiously and then back up to Hibiki.]no subject
I have just demonstrated this for you.
[ yeah her cheating by not telling you the rules ahead of time was totally doing you a favor
that's how
this works ]
no subject
[He looks at the board and where she had put her person. So when he put down a tile if he thought it was important he could put the person down.] I think I understand miss!
no subject
[ She gestures: your turn. ] Go on.
[ A goat with a drink menu on a tray rolls up and waits for Romeo to be done putting down his next tile. Hibiki has these menus prepared for when she wants something other than tea. You want anything, kid? Coffee? Hot chocolate? Milk? ]
no subject
Oh it's a goat!] Hello mister goat! [He peers at the menu, reading it slowly.] Tea... Co... Coffee... Milk. Oh it's a list of drinks!
no subject
The goat rolls backwards, then forwards, to mimic that it will go get drinks if he wants anything. It's going for its maa-ster, anyway... ]
no subject
[He grins at Hibiki and points at the tiles.] Did I do it right?
no subject
[ The goat bobs, then heads over to show the menu to Hibiki. It will have to wait, though, since she's still preoccupied with the board.
She looks at him, utterly befuddled. ] What was your logic?
[ A true strategist wouldn't reveal all of their hand at this point, but....She is a genius, and she must know. A genius must always know. Everything.
A genius, in less lofty skin, looks an awful lot like a busybody. ]
no subject
no subject
[ She stares at Romeo, realizing this is going to be a difficult game. He's unpredictable! Completely unpredictable!
Her strategic brilliance is useless in the face of stupidity! ]
no subject
no subject
[ The untouched, delightful purity of an afternoon in the Palps
but the brainpower of the kind of person who almost falls for "a type of sugar cube" as the definition of "revolution", yet manages to fluke her way into becoming a Divine Idol anyway?!
What a combination! Elfnein has a formidable shinki! ]
no subject
The goat shuffles a little and Romeo tilts his head.] I think mister Goat wants to bring you a drink miss Hibiki!
next time challenge her to old maid, romeo....she's good at drawing the joker
[ First flush, hot, in the fanciest cup available. Got it. The goat twirls in a circle and heads off to place the orders with....
....let's not think about that part.
Hibiki draws a tile, completes her city. ] I take the lead.
[ It's an unsightfully haphazard-looking place - she had hoped to build it in a more beautiful manner - but the gloves have come off now, so to speak.
If she can't outthink him, she will crush him with magnificence! ]
no subject
He has a city piece too and it has another bit of road. So he matches the road to his road and now he has a bit of city, cities were also important so he put a blue person in his city too.]
I got two people now!
no subject
[ Hibiki builds a road elsewhere and claims it. It is always useful to have
an escape routemultiple spheres of influence. ]no subject
no subject
[ Thus assuaged, Hibiki turns her focus to the game. She can't afford to get distracted when playing an unpredictable opponent. ]
no subject
What are you going to make next miss Hibiki?
no subject
[ Hibiki is building a very long road. She keeps. Drawing pieces with nothing but road on them, in fact.
How can this be? ]
no subject
[Another city piece! He adds it to his city, which is becoming a sprawling mass.]
no subject
[ This is turning into one. As soon as Romeo completes that city, he'll.....!!
Hibiki draws another piece of road. Her nose wrinkles. ]
no subject
[He's picked a road piece himself this turn, he leans over to add it to her road, that will help, right?]
no subject
But she also has difficulty recognizing kindness when she sees it, so mostly she's just left with a reinforced opinion of her opponent's. Intellect. ]
...............There will be no glory in defeating you.
