What: Information and Training
When: May 23rd 2017
Where: Odin’s Temple
Summary: Training and informational sessions for newly arrived gods and shinki; bonding opportunities for all other gods and shinki
- Gods and shinki who arrive at the meeting hall are, for once, not led to the back for an introduction to their new roles. They’re instead rounded up and shown the way to Odin’s Temple, where "Odin" is waiting for them. Hopefully the sight of a twenty-something in loose pants and a t-shirt isn’t too shocking compared to the formally dressed old gods.
Basic Information
- Unlike previous introductions, Leo has all the newcomers meet in the front room. There’s chairs and a sofa and ottomans for anyone who wants to sit, and they’ve brought in a dais of sorts for Leo and Kairi to stand on.
"Welcome to Heaven, or the Far Shore as some of the older gods call it. I am Leo de Borel, formerly a prince of the Kingdom of Nohr and currently the god Odin. This is my shinki, Kairi. The old gods have asked me to host training this time, but before we do that, you should know what you’re getting into. Some of this information is not my own, but was gathered by my husband, Aymeric de Borel. Unfortunately he's currently down with a sleeping sickness and couldn't join us today."
Leo then launches into basic rundown of Heaven and how things work here--the gods answer prayers, the shinki assist them, ayakashi are the monsters they fight and are generally the main thing causing the people on the Near Shore grief, and a brief summary of the greatly diminished cult--and asks for the gods and the shinki to follow either him or Kairi, depending on which they are. He’ll help anyone who’s not sure which they are figure it out, and then he and Kairi take their groups outside where Leo has set up some training grounds.
God Information
- As they head outside, Leo explains a god’s role a bit more in depth to any newcomers and will answer questions should anyone else ask them. Once they get outside and most of the important questions are answered, Leo hands out pamphlets he had made that summarize most of the important information shared today, with an emphasis on not telling a shinki about their past no matter what, and tells them that today is mostly going to be about them figuring out their powers and perhaps finding a shinki or two they work well with, should they not already have one. If they have any other questions, they’re welcome to come find him and ask.
Shinki Information
- All of the shinki, no matter how recently they arrived, are treated to a parallel speech by Kairi, but it’s with a bit of passion focusing on god-shinki bonds and what they could be, which she hopes applies to brand new shinki as well as shinki who are only as "new" as she is. She cites a shinki’s ability to help their god/dess with prayers in more ways than as a vessel, for one thing, and that temple structures will vary with the gods themselves. Some become families, for instance - here she looks to both Raichi and D2 - and deep friendships that can last beyond any struggle you can imagine - she looks at Lance and Dust. She explains how there was a time when just being attached to the same pantheon as your god meant that another temple might help you, and some of the new gods may still feel that way. Her point remains that if there’s a specific sort of bond you’re looking for, that god might be out there waiting for them, and she encourages them to ask an older shinki for advice if they’re uncomfortable in their current temple setup. "No one will understand better than your fellow shinki," she insists with a smile.
Speech over, she offers pamphlets to those who might not have received one previously and directs any shinki still struggling with spellwork to where Leo has arranged for a few of Amateratsu’s shinki to teach them how to cast a borderline. More experienced shinki are welcome to assist, but once you think you’ve got it the shinki are welcome to join the gods in the training grounds. Kairi tells the newbies the same thing Leo told the gods: their main goal for today is to get in some practice and maybe find a god they work well with.
Physical Training and Pair Ups
- It’s a simple set up this month, since Leo’s yard isn’t really built for this sort of thing, but the basic set up is what you’d expect; there’s dummies for more solo practice, a sparring circle for some one-on-one training, and food laid out for anyone who gets hungry. (And if anyone asks who did the cooking or otherwise thanks Leo, he will direct them to Yoon because he did all the cooking, except for the pizzas. Praise him.)
Once everyone is more or less at the training area, Leo asks everyone to hold a moment so he can explain one last thing.
“The Heavens have asked that my shinki and I do our best to pair unpartnered gods and shinki up, be they new or old, in hopes of making stronger, more lasting bonds. If you meet someone you think you might work well with in the long term, please let either Kairi or I know and we’ll make a note of it.”
And that’s the last you’ll hear from Leo officially, unless you have questions.
Battle Tactics
- Or maybe not. For those of you with a partner or who are just interested in learning new techniques, Leo’s arranged for something a little unique this month.
Perhaps you and your partner aren’t really fighting optimally, no matter what you do, or are just getting outmatched by some of the more intelligent ayakashi and have to resort to brute forcing your way through them. Leo has offered to spar against those who want to work on their teamwork (with or without his own shinki) or otherwise observe a fight so he can offer advice afterwards on how you might improve your teamwork.
If you don’t have a partner or are just interested in something not physical (which Leo totally gets), Leo’s also set up a few things inside. There’s a couple of chess sets out (always a good option) as well as, oddly, a few video games. Leo found a game that allowed him to set up simulated large scale battles if you want to try your hand at that sort of thing, as well as games to encourage cooperation between a god and their shinki. This includes a game where up to four people are trying to run a restaurant and one game that has one person reading from a manual and the other trying to defuse a bomb.
Have fun!
In Summary:
- Be baffled by this millennial looking god
- Attend the information meeting
- Train
- Eat, meet people, maybe find a partner
- Play video games
- Have fun~

[ After all, Hibiki sees nothing but a chair here! And Hibiki’s reality is the only one that matters!
The spygoats who’d brought extra pillows for the “uncomfortable chair” exchange glances. Um....so will these be....unmaa-cessary? ]
no subject
[Delusional?]
[Insane?]
[Ridiculous?]
[Idiotic?]
[Extra beyond tolerance...?]
Stop being you!
no subject
[ Hibiki turns to the cushion goats. ] Staff! Remove this unsightly object from the training area immediately!
[ Gamely, the goats roll over to Zetta’s chair. And push.
.......Hmm. They might need more maa-npower..... ]
no subject
[Springing up from their restaurant game, which they don't mind abandoning since they were having a real dickens of a time extinguishing the kitchen fire, the three Prinnies crash into the opposite side of the chair to oppose the spygoats!]
no subject
[ Whether Hibiki is shocked by this turn of events or Zetta’s persistent insistence he is not a chair, one cannot say.
The goats, however, find themselves under maa-ssault! So a few of them keep pushing while one pillow-laden one on either side roll around the chair and....flip their trays, sending the pillows they’d brought soaring at the Prinnies, as a deterrent.
Pillow fight! ]
no subject
...Hey, Hibiki. You ever get the feeling our minions kind of suck?
no subject
[ She cannot finish this lie, as she catches a pillow right to the face. And she stands. Stock still. Eyes shut. As it drops, taking her cutglasses with it.
Every goat - the initial team, some reinforcements that have just maa-rrived bearing extra pillows - freezes.
It’s
it’s
A MAAA-TASTROPHE.....! ]
no subject
[Because the book is biting its lip, quivering all over as it holds back laughter and only lets a few "fff ffff"s escape.]
[And the Prinnies are still beating the crap out of each other with pillows, having utterly failed to notice the goats aren't even involved any more.]
1/hibiki
One goat hurries away and comes back with tea. Maa-ster! Quick, do something elegant, before you- ]
2/hibiki
The teacup shatters.
The dam breaks. ]
3/hibiki
hibiki/4
W-WHEN DID YOU-
[ She had intended to dramatically gesture at Zetta the chair - only to find Zetta the book sequestered atop it!
What new absurdity is this?! Hibiki’s mind casts about for a genius solution. Zetta the book is here - but so is Zetta the chair - thus - ]
It can’t be......YOU - MULTIPLIED?!
Re: hibiki/4
Hyaaaha ha ha ha ha! That's right! I multiplied! Simple mathematical problems will all fall beneath the might of the Overlord!
[He has no idea what advantage he's seizing, but if Hibiki is shocked by him multiplying, who is he to argue?]
Six! Time! Four! Is! Twenty four!
no subject
[ Hibiki glances about wildly, as if expecting these other twenty-two Zettas to materialize, each saying something stupider than the last. They haven’t, which does register as odd - but Hibiki is too wound up to contemplate the discrepancy. ]
STAFF! We’re regrouping! This fiend has the entire training hall booked!
[ Someday, Hibiki won’t unconsciously make puns when she panics.
Some distant, distant day. ]
no subject
[He's not sure how he's winning this, but he totally is! That's all that matters!]
no subject
[ Hurry.....She has to hurry, before the other twenty-two Zettas —
To maa-ke good on her maa-scape, a trio of spygoats roll up. Slowly.
For they each bear a catapult with a sofa cushion loaded in.
Protective cover has been secured! ]
no subject
[Finally emerging from their Big Ball o' Violence, the Prinnies poke their heads up, then scramble into action -- two of them seize the third, then promptly tape several pillows around it until all that's left is a struggling, squirming ball of cotton and stuffing.]
Fire those catapults and I'll return fire, Hibiki! It's mutually-assured destruction!
1/2
[ That’s right! Her idiot cutglasses! If she puts her idiot cutglasses back on, all Zettas will surely disappear, regardless of their number! She sticks out a hand for them, and a nearby goat scoop-flips them up into her waiting palm. ]
FIR—
2/2
Can it be - ?!
But the maa-tapults have already flung their cargo.
It is too late. ]
no subject
[Well. Throw. The Prinnies lob the ball of pillows forward.]
[Time seems to slow. Goat-fired pillows soar through the air in the perfect grace that anything associated with Hibiki demands, while the Prinny ball blasts ominously onwards.]
[.... grace...]
[.... ominous...]
Hey, did time seem to slow down for y--
[The Prinny ball hits the floor. The Prinny inside explodes. And pillows fly every which way.]
no subject
[ MAA-STER, NO!!
A cluster of goats rolls in front of Hibiki to shield her from the projectiles. Hibiki does, however, get her wish: she ends up far away from Zetta.
Because she and the goats were all knocked backwards, across the room. They lie in a crumpled and fluffy heap, pillows scattered around them.
The goats, thus fallen, cannot get up on their own. But as their wheels turn feebly, they regret nothing, for they can hear Maa-ster twitching.
Their maa-crifice was not in vain. ]
no subject
Hyaaaha ha ha ha! That's what you get for messing with the Overlord!
[Somehow, some way, Zetta is convinced this scenario is a total win for him. Sometimes victory is simply a matter of defining the current situation, right?]
no subject
Custodial duties are also maa-ttended to. Goats in maa-id caps arrive to clean up the mess, so as not to cause trouble for their host. This involves pushing the chair off to the side, then returning to scoop assorted other debris up with dustpans.
Debris like this book they have found.
Away they go with it.... ]
no subject
HEY! [The book struggles, every bit as effectively as one would expect a book to struggle.] I'm not junk, debris, or detritus! Quit hauling me off this instant!
no subject
Down a hall towards the outside. Where one of Hibiki’s live goats maa-waits.
Real goats eat maa-nything, right? ]
