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 midafternoon, once 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, which are spreading out even further with the onset of Spring. Strangely, there are many fewer flowering trees than might be expected.
Shinki Training
- A well-appointed dojo has been prepared for newcomers to practice the 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 what look like old clothes and sheets rescued from the rag pile and hung from trees or stuffed with straw to serve as targets. Some of the children are trapping their straw-stuffed targets by dancing in circles around them, hands held as they sing the Kagome song; others are using cutting borderlines to bring sheets fluttering down.
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 interact with one of them or if you have any questions about handwaving an interaction.
Physical Training
- The cherry blossoms that had begun to bloom across the Meeting Hall grounds seem to have experienced a mysterious mishap. Buds and half-opened blossoms alike have rained down from the branches, carpeting the fresh spring grass below with soggy brown and black rot. Several gardener shinki, with their sleeves tied back and sensible heavy aprons to protect their white uniforms, are raking up the fallen blossoms and trying to coax the trees back to health with powders and straw wraps to protect the trees' trunks from nightly chill. They need help: climb the trees and sprinkle the knots along the branches with invigorating powders to encourage fresh buds, or help the gardeners hold the straw in place around the tree trunks while it's wrapped with cloth, or just help rake up the dead flowers.
Besides the cherry problems, the gardens are beautiful and just beginning to burst into spring bloom. Tulips, crocuses and daffodils are sprouting everywhere, and once the borderline game is done, the child shinki are quickly organizing a garden-wide game of hide-and-go-seek. Find the best hiding spot you can, and make a break for home base as soon as you're sure the seeker is too far away to catch you! But don't run into anyone on the way.
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. A fresh springtime menu is available: lightly flower-scented teas, plum wine, and a variety of little savory or sweet snacks to nibble on while waiting for dinner. Dinner turns out to be okonomiyaki: bowls with mixed batter and a plate full of tasty add-ins are brought out, and griddles at the center of the table heated to let every guest set out their own favorite add-ins, pour batter over, and make a savory pancake. It's a little tricky to flip with the tiny spatulas provided, but it should only take a few pancake disasters to get the hang of it, probably!
After eating, a few doves will flutter into the room, dropping off scrolls to certain people, and the frazzled-looking adult shinki from the earlier training session dashes to the front of the room to try to keep everyone occupied. He's reading from a handful of printouts with corporate icebreaker ideas: pin a secret card to the back of everyone's shirt and ask whoever you meet for clues to figure out what it says! Fill out a bingo card with different skills or experiences your fellow gods and shinki have! Figure out how to stack every piece of furniture in the room onto just one table... play a game where you're only allowed to reply with questions... switch tables every five minutes and see how well you can get to know the other person there before your five minutes are up. Wait, isn't that speed dating? He seems to be running out of ideas.
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 some icebreakers
- Have fun~

OTA (Guardian end series spoilers in toplevel and in comments)
You helped save the world? Congratulations, Zhu Hong, you are now a goddess.
It seems too ridiculous to be true, but everything that she's seen in the last hour or two confirms it. This is Heaven, Dragon City is...who the hell knows where, and she is now the goddess Nüwa.
A week ago, this would have been funny. Hell, two days ago with evil Dixingren bent on the destruction of humanity causing havoc in the streets, it might even have gotten a bitterly ironic chuckle. But now it she almost feels too numb to care. Yes, she helped save the world.
The cost was too high.
Her little crash course in life as a brand new incarnation of a goddess had mentioned something about teleportation, but Hong doesn't trust herself enough to try it yet. Plus, she wants to clear her head a bit, get the lay of the land. Walking is good for that. She has a map to what her white robed guide called her temple, and a few hours to kill.
Might as well do a bit of sight seeing.
"I guess it's spring here," she muses out loud, looking up at the cherry blossoms overhead. "This is too much..."
Rest and Refreshments
The empty bottle of plum wine rolls off the table with a clunk, but Zhu Hong doesn't seem to notice or care. She's doggedly working her way through a second large bottle, with a third standing at the ready nearby. She figures that this is the closest she'll get to a wake for the only man she's ever loved, and she's damn well going to do the thing properly. He died to save everyone. She's stuck here in Heaven instead of at SID headquarters with those of her friends who survived the fight, but she'll honor his sacrifice wherever she is.
(Also, she's a goddess now and everything is intensely strange. That is another reason to do some heavy drinking.)
Hong downs another glass and wishes, not for the first time tonight, that it was something stronger. "That idiot," she murmurs as she pours one more. A tear rolls down her cheek and leaves a mascara track in its wake.
please stop drinking

Jen Scotts | ota (max 4 threads), will match format
[ It's a lot to take in all at once, but Jen prefers it that way. No time to think about death and dying or even about this brand new place, her new home. She has a job to do, and she's gonna do it.
Which means training. Jen immediately likes the dojo and goes right away for a sword, swinging it with ease as she goes through some forms by herself. She's really into it, face focused and intense. After a little bit, if someone hasn't approached her first, she'll say- ]
If you need a sparring partner, I'm free right now.
[ She's pretty confident she can take you.
OR you can find her looking on wih obvious interest at the shinki practicing line. Anyone next to her gets asked- ]
Do you know how to do that? I wanna learn.
Physical Training > Rest and Refreshments
Heads up!
[ Jen hops down from a tree, landing pretty gracefully. Of course she was up there helping out. She really likes pink flowers! ]
Break time. Unless you need a hand climbing up there?

[ This place is so big and unfamiliar. Rion's lost already. She looks up in confusion. ]
Well, this sucks. I think I took a wrong turn somewhere.
[ Is there anyone who could help set her straight? ]
Physical Training
[ Rion's not the type to sit around and do nothing. She concentrates and summons a gush of wind. It picks up the dead leaves and twigs within a single swoop. ]
I'm so not used to this.
[ Magic is tiring and so she falls to her knees. ]
What kind of goddess gets tired after one or two spells?

Shen Wei had commandeered a grill and ingredients, setting up a table a little away from other tables with a determined expression on his face. The fussily dressed scholar laid out his tools and deftly rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, pulled on an apron to protect against flying grease, and then started cooking.
He didn't have any problems with the tiny spatulas provided as he worked, each okonomiyaki coming out looking like a professional chef was involved in the creation of them. Pausing in the middle of the cooking spree, his cheeks red from the grill's heat and a soft smile curving his lips, Shen Wei put his two spatulas down, took a sip of tea, and nodded in greetings.
"Please, sit down and help yourself. I've made more than I can possibly eat alone."
Table switching speed dating but not!
A man in a fussy little suit complete with a sweater vest and large round eye glasses just took a seat at this table, a mild and well-practiced smile of politeness on his face. He looks like he should be in front of a classroom lecturing instead of walking around with a faint air of bemusement at this latest game the white-robed shinki has been pressing everyone into. His nerdy image was somewhat marred by the fading bruise that is slightly hidden by the crisp line of his shirt's collar, and the lollipop that had ended up with his pocket square in his breast pocket.
"Do you think that he will soon have us doing kindergarten games next?"

[A swordsman by nature, Dust only possesses a ranged attack in the form of the cutting Borderline. And though he'll never prefer it, he has to admit that he ought to practice nonetheless.]
[So Dust stands motionless some distance from the fluttering cloths -- utterly motionless, save for the occasional flicker of his cloak from a passing breeze. In his right hand, reverse grip, he holds the Blade of Ahrah, the runes on the sword glowing softly as if it too held its breath.]
[Then he snaps a hand out without warning, hurling a cutting Borderline into the fray. It slices past a rag and leaves barely a notch.]
Not good enough...
Shinki Training 2
[All right, time to try something new.]
[Dust waits for a partner... without a weapon. He's set his sword aside, stretching his arms and curling his wrists to limber up. If anyone's wondering...]
I figured I'd try to get some practice in without a weapon.

[Ah, training day! A chance to stretch his legs, flirt with cute girls, hang out with Minako if he's lucky, and get some exercise!]
[A morning person by nature, Edge turns the trip to the dojo into a light jog, loping his way down the streets with good cheer. Those who he catches up to get a friendly wave and a greeting.]
Hey, is it normal to see this many flowers around here?
Physical Training
[As a ninja, Edge is skilled and capable at climbing!]
[But he might be in over his head at the moment, thanks to arrogance and pride. Near the top of one tree, Edge clings to a branch that has bent under his weight, tipping him perilously off-balance so that he can't quite move back without risking a fall, or the branch breaking. With the knots sprinkled, the shinki down below keeps looking up and wondering why Edge is still up there. And his excuses, like "I'm enjoying the view" or "I'm double-checking the blossom growth up here!" are starting to wear really thin.]

[ Elfnein has decided to finally pick up learning how to use a weapon, after managing to strike down her and Romeos first ayakashi. She has a lance like weapon picked out from the rack that is way taller then she is. Her reasoning is that she can attack from a distance with it but clearly it's not the right weapon for her. ]
Shinki Training 2
[ So weapons didn't work out, but Elfnein still has her little chibi robot with new and improved battery life that can slice and dice. ]
Do you mind helping me test something?
[ Now all that needs to be done is test the new battery and get more data for improvements. ]
Rest and Refreshments
[ Elfnein has a few bowl with different add on's in each of them, it's going to take some trial and error to figure out how to cook okonomiyaki so might as well make a lot. ]
If this is like normal pancakes cooking should be simple...

Tsubasa Kazanari | OTA
[Tsubasa can't exactly say she's comfortable with all of this. She heard the explanations and she took them mostly in stride, at least on the outside. Internally was a different matter. There were things to consider in her own world. New dangers were always rising. Not to mention her singing career, which had to be put on hold enough times dealing with mad scientists or ancient alchemists.
She knows at least that dwelling on such things isn't going to do much. For now, she'll have to face what's in front of her, which in this case as she walks past its entrance is 'her' temple. Or Susanoo's. Identifying with that isn't easy to start with. She might be an idol back home, but that was earned. This feels far more grand for what she's done to just casually accept it.
Still, again - she doesn't exactly have much choice in the matter now. This place, as it is, reminds her a lot of her childhood home. Which is not exactly the brightest topic to be springing to mind. As such, she doesn't dwell much there, or really even explore it too deeply yet. Rather, she can be found milling about the exterior grounds, or even exploring the immediate area around her.
The clear recent destruction does pique her curiosity, having seen quite a bit of carnage up close in her life. So she may also be taking a peek at the fissures or volcanic scarring, trying to discern just what happened there.
Anything to occupy her mind while she tries to digest what's gone on.]
[B - Physical Training]
[Anything to occupy her mind, right? Tsubasa may not be one much known for cleaning, but at some point she finds herself with a rake in her hands, cleaning up scattered blossoms on the ground. While it may be beautiful, it's the furthest thing from her mind.
Should anyone happen upon her at this point, she might seem a bit spaced out or distant. She's still trying to adjust, thinking of how she once tried to be a lone wolf, and how reliant she's become on her circle of support. Without the majority of that here, figuring out how to proceed suddenly feels a lot more difficult. Probably more difficult than she'd like to let on to that circle, or herself, really.]
[C -Rest and Refreshments]
[Food and drink is at least welcome. She arrives and takes her seat, eating mostly in silence. Not out of trying to be a loner, or to be rude.
No, you see, though she had certainly improved at this by the time she left high school (even having to encourage Chris to socialize with people at one point), Tsubasa is not exactly the most socially adept person in the world. It's one thing to grow comfortable with a familiar setting and faces. Thrust into a thoroughly other worldly place and position, being called a 'God,' she's not exactly sure what to make of herself, much less the plethora of strangers surrounding her.
Thus, beneath a steely expression, one can find nervous eyes darting about not even sure where to start. In fact, once the food is gone and the doves fly in, her moment of appreciating the birds is taken from her as the frazzled shinki begins trying to draw everyone's attention.
Tsubasa finds herself just staring incredulously at this display, and any attempt to do something particularly weird may have her cool exterior breaking very suddenly and rapidly. She can only take so much craziness for one day.]

Where the hell are those Prinnies?
[An angry book floats in the middle of the garden, the movement of its blank white eyes only discernible by the subtle shifts of their shape.]
[Nearby, a strange peg-legged, patchwork Prinny is stuck upside-down in a tree -- concealed from the Overlord, but completely struck in a webwork of branches that suspend it more than support it. This hadn't been a good idea, dood.]
[Another Prinny is stuck beneath a small bridge, its rotund lower body trapped and its desperate flailings to keep its head above water blending it with the gentle babbling of the stream as it winds its way through the picturesque garden.]
[The third Prinny has donned a white robe, and to blend in and maintain its disguise, is slinking around trying to instruct people on useless spells like Broaderline, Silencio, and the Song That Calms The Final Aeon.]
Damn it! There's work to be done!
Rest and Relaxation
[Along one wall, a booth sits manned by a book and a few minions. The sign reads "JOIN THE ARMY OF THE OVERLORD", and to supplement this, several brochures offer helpful information in bite-sized pieces, such as "Benefits of Being a Vassal", "How To Abuse Prinnies", and "Say No To Drugs". (Zetta keeps the latter around because it's a product of the 90's, and thus, chock full of hilariously tone-deaf messaging.]
[Also, the minions occasionally flash cool stacks of cash, subconsciously hinting that the pay is great and the benefits amazing.]
[Yes, Zetta is employing all three modes of advertising: subliminal, liminal, and superliminal.]
Hey you! Join the Army of the Overlord!

Oh, these are so pretty!
[Penny meant to take the direct path to her new home. She really did. BUT LOOK HOW COLORFUL.]
[Yeah, she's just squatting by a huge patch of wildflowers, absolutely enamored.]
Shinki Training
[She's had her new role as a shinki explained to her. Help people, serve her god, fight monsters. So, being able to do that last part effectively seems really important? She's watching the experienced shinki casting borders diligently, trying to memorize their movements.]
[If anyone who knows what they're doing looks like they have a free moment, she'll approach-]
Salutations, excuse me- you- do it like this, right?
[And inside, she's trying basically every weapon at least once, trying to at least get a feel for all of them. She takes a swing with a quarterstaff-]
[crack]
[-and she is now holding half of a quarterstaff.]
....Sorry!
Physical Training
[And for all the chaos of her shinki training, Penny is- pretty chill, just raking the fallen cherry blossoms? It's sort of zen, somehow.]

Shinki Training

[It's been too long since Soleil really got into training, and these group get-togethers are always a good excuse for it. For the past half-month, most of her attention has been tied up in trying to sort through some more... complicated feelings regarding the disappearance of her shinki, though by this point it's probably hard to tell that she was ruffled at all by the sunny smile she's wearing for the day.
Truly, a day outside, with fresh air and flowers, will do wonders for one's psyche.]
It's a shame about these trees, I'm sure they must be stunning in full bloom.
[She is, at the very least, helping with the effort of beautifying the area. The ground flowers seem to be doing well enough, but tending to the sick trees becomes a pretty prime learning opportunity for tending to her own temple's landscape. Helping tie up some straw to the trunks is easy enough, as is climbing up to reach some of the higher branches affected by the rot.]
Need a hand with that?
[Struggling to climb one of the trunks? Need help holding stuff in place? You have one friendly face here ready to help out! Of course, a little later in the day she'll be available for sparring practice as well, should extra partners be needed!]
Rest and Refreshments
[Tea is, as always, a very welcome part of training days, though the real star of today's session is the unusual dinner set-up.]
This is quite different... [Sweet pancakes, she's more familiar with. Savory pancakes... this is an interesting change of pace.] I'm not sure I get how to use these properly. [The tiny spatulas, that is. What a conundrum.]
Hey, do you have the hang of this? [Rather than make one disaster-meal after another, maybe a little guidance will do her well. And, surely, whoever may be seated next to her has a better grasp than she does, right?] Let me see you make one!

The following is on the table: a neatly handwritten sign that says "shinki information" taped to the front of the table, a few flats of bottled water, assorted energy bars, several tourist maps for Tokyo and other major cities in Japan, and two stacks of shinki pamphlet written by Kairi and the older shinki pamphlet. There's also a handwritten sign that says "borderline training and information upon request."
Ginia sits behind the table with a laptop, offering a wave and a friendly smile whenever anyone comes by, especially when it's someone that looks new. Her phone is nearby and she plays a message, a digitized alto voice speaking for her.]
Let me know if I can help you with anything.

Yusaku Fujiki | OTA
[Honestly, Yusaku isn't sure what to expect here – he's been told that this is his god's temple, that he has died and that he now is to serve this god here. He isn't sure how he feels about that just yet… he supposes it will all depend on what kind of god this is.
He'll keep his mind open for now, at least.]
[ B – Shinki Training ]
[Apparently he needs training – or at least an introduction – in order to be able to do his duties as a Shinki. That's fine. It's something to do – and to himself Yusaku can admit that he is craving some kind of direction right now – something to do with what is apparently his afterlife.
He watches those practicing Borderline with interest, tries to analyze just how they are doing that by watching.
Later he can be found walking along the weapons rack in the dojo, pulling off weapons randomly to see how they fit in his hand. …None of them do, really.]
…Interesting.
[ C – Rest and Refreshments ]
[Yusaku has settled at a corner table with tea and more sweets than he really knows what to do with – he doesn't have a sweet tooth himself, and really he is more of a coffee person too. Unfortunately for him and his ambition to order his thoughts on the results of training in peace, his table is within the range of the speed dating game.
Perhaps you are the one settling right in front of him, earning yourself a bit of a deer-in-headlights-expression.]
What are you doing here?
[Guess who hasn't been told about his participation in this game yet. Care to enlighten him?]

[It's a newly energized Rita that returns from her new god's temple very early in the afternoon; things are going to be a little strange for a while, but her god is very firmly on her side, and that helps a lot. Of course, if she's going to help Tsubasa out, she needs to work on her skills to keep her safe. She didn't arrive on the Far Shore with a weapon, so that's out; maybe the heavy tome she'd found on her hip means something? Probing her mind for a second, she can think of a few magic artes off the top of her head. That could be worth a shot. So she lines up with one of the targets downrange, and holds out a hand, calling something simple to mind.]
O flickering blaze, burn! Fire- wait, what the hell?
[She looks at her hands in open confusion. She can see research notes in her mind, not that she knows where they're from or whose they are, and flow of power is highlighted in bright yellow. She should be feeling something, she's certain, but there's no rush of energy, no tingle, and certainly no magic circle like is sketched in said notes. So either something's wrong with this world, or-]
-no magic. Lovely. [Her scowl is briefly harsh, and the sarcasm drips... but she shakes her head with a heavy sigh.] I'll have to work that out later, but for now... what was that other thing called? Hold my fingers like...
[Wandering away from the target range, she absently heads toward the borderline targets, though for the moment she's just working everything out in her head.]
[B | refreshments]
[After some time practicing, Rita lets out a breath and heads for the Meeting Hall, having found out there's dinner to be had. Tea and sweets are helping her mood a lot, and you might even find a tiny smile on her lips, not that she'll admit that if pressed. While waiting for dinner proper to be ready, she mingles a little bit, not that she has any idea who to talk to, so she mostly just looks kinda lost.
Once the okonomiyaki ingredients arrive, she just waits and watches for a moment, before starting to work on one herself. It takes only one mishap with the spatula before she gets the hang of it, and she's rather proud of herself for not making a huge mess everywhere. Once she finishes and plates a piece, she pops a piece into her mouth...
...and frowns. It's fine, just...]
-bleh, okay, that's going back on the list.

Unlike the gardener shinki, Hunk isn't wearing a fancy apron to protect his clothing. But he is out and willing to help out with anything they might need help with. At different points, he can be seen helping out with various chores: raking up the dead flowers, helping to wrap the trees with straw, sprinkling powder on the knots of the lowest branches.
Or maybe you can catch him during one of his breaks, when he's sitting off to the side somewhere just enjoying the flowers.
Rest & Refreshments
After all that hard work, Hunk decides to treat himself to a cup of plum wine while waiting on dinner. And when the time comes, he's delighted to discover that it's a make your own pancake setup this time. So he does just that, and even has an easier time than he'd expect with the tiny spatula.
The party games, while silly, were pretty amusing, and he could think of worse ways to kill some time. And honestly, he's willing to play along for the sake of having something positive to think about. If nothing else, it'll keep him from worrying about things for a little while. And while he's not actively approaching people to join in, he's also probably not going to say no if someone decides to ask him. In the meantime, though, he's hanging off to the side with a cup of mint tea.

The majority of her afternoon is spent either raking up dead flowers or climbing trees to help sprinkle powder into the branches. Mostly, it's busy work, and Marinette is more than willing to throw herself into it. It's a nice day, and she's generally pleased to be able to get outside and enjoy it.
Once she's finished with helping out, she can be found wandering around, just enjoying the fresh air and snapping pictures of the blossoms with her phone. She might even be convinced to join a game of hide-and-seek if asked nicely enough.
Rest & Refreshments
It's always interesting to see what they come up with in the way of refreshments every month or so, and this month is just as delightful as all the others she's attended. Marinette is actually impressed at the ability to come up with (mostly) original cooking methods each time, and she helps herself to a small cup of plum wine while waiting on her pancake to cook.
She's still debating on whether or not she wants seconds when the doves make an appearance, and when the shinki approaches the front of the room to begin speaking, Marinette decides against it for now. But the games sound amusing enough, and she's probably not going to turn anyone down if they want to drag her into one.

[ If you choose to wander the Central District, sooner or later you'll find a giant white-and-purple castle whose gates have giant gold statues of the god in residence on either side of them. Good luck getting in to meet the god herself, though! The entire castle perimeter is ringed by small stuffed purple goat toys on wheels, stacked three high, with little soundproof pads mounted to their front.
A silk sign (with tassels) has been draped over the top layer of goats in front of the door. NO TRESPASSING, it says in shining gold script. GENIUS AT WORK.
What a distasteful necessity. The goats can't communicate, so signs will have to suffice. At least there's no way anyone could be curious or demented enough to ignore such missives. ]
[ Rest & Refreshments ]
[ Even a GENIUS cannot WORK forever, though! Hibiki is sitting at one of the okonomiyaki tables, and boy, does she look stuffed!
....Hm. ]
[ Rest & Refreshments & Retreat ]
Hhhh.
[ That was a sigh. Hibiki has floral tea. Hibiki has a quiet spot.
Hibiki has a headache. ]
The Far Shore is unraveling. [ She sips her tea. ] Resorting to office party games....
[ She stares up at the sky, chin and brows simultaneously setting into an expression of the utmost solemn nobility. ] Revolution must come swiftly.

[Though he feels as if he's done plenty of clean-up work from the aftermath of the volcano disaster, and through his lack of any skills that may be practical for gardening endeavors, Keith has managed to get himself roped into helping out with the tree-nursing efforts.
Raking the fallen petals up is... easy, but not very challenging, so climbing the trees to treat the higher branches is what he settles on quickly enough. While he's up there, passers-by are likely to notice an enormous blue wolf slowly circling the trunk of the tree in anticipation of Keith's return to the ground. He won't pay too much mind to anyone walking by and/or gawking, but that also opens him up to being bothered with no real repercussions to be had.
Go ahead. Pet the dog.]
Shinki Training
[Of course, what kind of training day would it be without any actual training to be had?
His own comfort with weaponry will probably always lie in blades, but given the opportunity to try something new, he gives the ranged-weapons-range a few moments of consideration. With his canine companion laying and watching from a distance, he takes some time out of the day to give a shot to practicing with a bow and arrow. His aim is honestly pretty good, but his technique shows a definite lack of familiarity with it, and... he's absolutely not about to ask for help, but maybe a pointer here and there won't hurt?
General borderline practice and mock-fights can be requested from him as well, should any of his typical partners show interest in it!]
