June Training

Who: Everyone
What: Information and Training
When: June 7th, 2017
Where: Apollo's Temple, The Far Shore
Summary: FIRST-CLASS ENTERTAINME---er, training for extant gods and shinki



Determining which temple to visit for today's training is not difficult. For one thing, Apollo's Temple is setting off fireworks periodically to entice newcomers through its high, Hibiki-statue-flanked doors. For another, anyone leaving their own temples will find themselves immediately confronted with an adorable purple goat robot wearing sunglasses and a bow tie. The goat has a silver platform suspended above it, atop which has been set a single purple rose and a brief note:

I shall be maa-ttending you today. Follow me.

Said goat will continue to follow your character until they give in and do as the note suggests. In fact, even once they do, the goat shall accompany them for the duration of today's log, seeing to their every need. Ask the goat to fetch something, and it shall be fetched. Ask the goat for directions within Hibiki's castle - "Where is the god training?", "Isn't there an amusement park in here?" - and guidance shall be provided maa-ccordingly.

It seems, today, everyone will receive a full Celebrity Maa-xperience.



Introductions

    Incidentally, Hibiki's temple does indeed contain an amusement park. Everyone shall be directed there first, to enjoy the roller coasters, spinny teacups, and merry-go-round to their hearts' content until all the TVs in the area switch on at once. (Should your character not be positioned by one of the many televisions scattered throughout the area, have no fear. Your maa-ttendant has just rolled away and come back with one.)

    "CelePara Prince Hour!"

    Hibiki's face appears on the screen. She's a decent amount of space back from the screen, for once, and seated upon her throne. There's a brilliant sun motif on the wall behind her - or is it a crown? It's both, perhaps.

    "Everyone, it's been a while. Shikyoin Hibiki here. Have your hearts been astonished by the peerless excellence I've delivered to you today?"

    The maa-ttendants all nod. Which is hard for robots without neck joints to do, so they rock in place on their wheeled platforms instead. Clatter, clatter. Hibiki, for her part, nods back as if she's witnessed this occurrance.

    "Splendid. The three characteristics of divinity are - Majestic. Unparalleled. And...Possessing great love." A smirk. "It's as if the position exists just for me. But those of you tasked with a duty you're currently incapable of fulfilling need not despair. I've arranged a variety of beneficial exercises for gods and shinki alike. Engaging in them is best, so we can create it."

    She raises an arm, as if showing everyone ascending from her beneficial guidance. "Together with me - the ultimate puniverse!"

    The TVs switch off. Those closest to gods display, on a map, where the god training is. Those closest to shinki display the shinki training. All indicate the physical training and the refreshments. The refreshments seem to be.....outside? With a time marked for dinner?

    Pay that no mind. It's probably fine.

God Training

    Hibiki isn't at the god training, either, which is taking place in a banquet hall. And which appears to be, ah....a swanky tea party. With a sign indicating there's a sauna next door. She does, however, appear on a large TV a bevy of spygoats push into position once any new gods have entered the room. Behold!

    "So-called gods, glad you could make it. Yours is the tremendous task of assisting me, the God of Fortune Apollo, to bring radiance to the scrap-heap puniverse known as the Near Shore. As satisfying your followers with anything less than a Top-Class showing is insufficient, I'll give this chance to steep in a celebrity atmosphere to you. The chosen deities require no throat-drying or sweat-inducing hardship. Open the new celeb world."

    And, with that, the tea party begins. Those not wishing to enjoy the top-class light sweets or delicious first flush teas may rid themselves of their average-person cares in Hibiki's special detoxing sauna. Those seeking an example to follow may take in a movie (in a theater featuring opulent reclining seats) starring Shikyoin Hibiki, or enjoy that the Shikyoin Hibiki History Exhibit has returned for a limited time only to this wing of the temple. Learn all about her many accomplishments, and be inspired!

    If you're looking for Hibiki, however.....Well. Your maa-ttendant is willing to show you the way, especially if you're a shinki or a god seeking suggestions for a matchup. But there are two obstacles to reaching her. First, you have to successfully kick a soccer ball past a spygoat goalie. Second, you have to read from a college history textbook provided by a spygoat in a pasteboard hat - and get all the kanji right.

    Or you could force your way through, or raise a fuss until Hibiki emerges, but who'd conceive of that?! Clearly everything will go as Hibiki intends!

Shinki Training

    The good news for the shinki in attendance- or any gods who ran away from Hibiki’s tea party to see what else is happening- is that they don’t have to further deal with Hibiki. Or being proper. Instead, everyone’s maa-tendants will guide them to a large indoor space that has been purposefully, uh, repurposed for today. As there are a lot of big extravagant rooms in Hibiki’s castle, it wasn’t very hard to change it into what is essentially the inside of an acrobatic circus. Wendy will already be waiting for everyone to arrive, seated happily on top of some push up bars. “That’s everyone, isn’t it? Alright then!”

    Since there are no newcomers as far as Wendy can tell, she gladly skips over “how to shinki” issues and instead offers some quick explanations and instructions to everyone in attendance. People are more than welcome to do the usual borderline practicing, of course, and Wendy will give a quick instruction for those who somehow missed that particular lesson. But that’s the boring way, and she didn’t set up all of this to be boring. In fact, there’s a particular shinki trait that she feels not a lot of people have really utilized: the strange shared trait that they’re all extremely light and can do things like leap ridiculous distances.

    So everyone will be encouraged to use the various pieces of equipment that are around. People who are unsure of themselves can use basic things such as monkey bars, low balancing beams, and the other sorts of things that they’ve seen Heaven use in their training sessions such as jumping from stump-like platforms to another. There are even some trampolines for those who want to see how high a shinki can go before their head cracks into the very high ceiling. (And an almost extravagantly large bouncy castle for the kids and kids-at-heart.) But they’re really encouraged to use things that are a little more… high skill. Such as the tightrope extended high above the ground, or the swinging trapeze set. For those who want a bit of a challenge, Wendy even has a route set up where they have to go through just about everything that’s set up in the space… while she has another person practicing throwing borderlines at them to either dodge or deflect. Also the goats might get in the way. Is that part of the training, or is that just how the goats how?

    Any random god that comes in will hardly get a blink besides Wendy ushering them in with an off-handed, “Sick of the tea, huh?”

Self-Improvement Training

    Those looking for something less...extreme...than Wendy's contribution will find it in Hibiki's gaming arcade, which has been newly restocked with a row of PriPara arcade machines. These machines encourage you to create a customizable character and dress them up, then perform a rhythm game with the character dancing in the background. Successful completion earns you a ticket with more clothes that can be used on your character. It seems that a sense of rhythm improves intuition, which is useful for gods and shinki alike.

    Also of use to all: the ability to ad-lib with a partner in an unusual environment! Which is what anyone who ventures into this concert hall will find. It looks like there's an improv contest going on. Grab a partner and be assigned a random scenario. You now have to act out that scenario in hopes of getting perfect 10s from a row of extremely Judge-Looking spygoats (they are wearing berets and glasses, to look Artsy, except for one who got the kind of judge wrong and showed up in a powdered wig instead.)

    Now, pick your chosen field of battle! No sparring prompt is required to hone one's competitive urges and divine might.

Rest and Refreshments

    Anyone desiring a change of scenery, as well as everyone once the sun begins to set, will be guided out the back of the temple by their maa-ttendant. A splendid dinner table has been set out upon the pirate ship in Hibiki's backyard, and everyone has a place reserved just for them. Why, their favorite drink is already awaiting them in their glass!

    Food is available from a variety of sources. For those who prefer self service, a buffet table has been laid out next to one railing, arranged with a variety of high-class, gourmet foods. Filet mignon? Caviar? Lobster? Fugu? Vegetable delicacies? All are available (though none come with instructions - do have fun with the lobster). The maa-tendants are also happy to double as waiters and fetch food, for those who prefer the full service celebrity treatment.

    Those seeking a more low-key, though no less eclectic, dining experience can find it along the other side of the deck, set up on a nice table with a tablecloth and some flowers for decoration. It seems one of Hibiki's shinki has decided to grace everyone with a bountiful spread! Poke, acai bowls, salad, malasalada, chocolate macademia, strawberry mochi, and manapua are all available, with placards indicating what each dish is and any potential allergens. This entire temple devotes itself to hospitality.

    Still missing, however: the host, though there's a throne awaiting her at the head of the table, a cup of tea already in place. Music is also being provided by goats in the corners, who seem to have full stereo systems hooked up where the maa-ttendants have trays. Baroque classical music recordings softly waft over the diners, lending the entire experience a distinctly elegant air.

    This aura of peaceful refinement shall remain until everyone who seems inclined to go aboard has done so (the goats do seem to maa-ccomend you board, but it is not enforced - sit this out, if you wish). At that point, all goats will roll up to their gods or shinki, carrying another sign - Please take care. The music dies down. So do the lights.

    And beneath everyone, the Starship PriPirates's...rocket engines...rumble to life. And a triumphant peal of laughter, high above everyone - rings out!




In Summary:
  • Delight in your precious new robot BFF (maa-ttendants are OK to NPC & adopt!)
  • Learn absolutely nothing from anybody actually charged with hosting this informational session
  • Engage in various "training" activities with no ulterior motives behind them whatsoever
  • Be kidnapped by pirates?????
  • Have fun~

Pre-introductions
It's not the first time Ginia has been to the amusement park of Hibiki's temple. Though she usually enjoys the rides, today she's strolling around the area and people (and goat) watching. There's a contemplative air around her as she watches the rides. Sometimes she strays a bit toward the entrance of the ride, but doesn't allow herself to go much further before walking away. To anyone who knows her a bit better or is otherwise more attentive, there's a sense of tiredness around her. Not only from a lack of sleep, but something deeper weighing on her.

If there's someone in the area, she'll give a polite smile and a nod in acknowledgment. "Going to go on the ride?" She'll ask through her phone, gesturing to the ride. 

Spell Training
With Wendy handling things and no new arrivals as far as Ginia can tell, she doesn't set up an information table. However, still wanting to make herself available as a resource, a short text message is sent to all shinki (and perhaps even a god by accident).

If anyone wants advanced training in spells or borderlines, feel free to contact me. I know mend, bind, umbra, silence, song of fire fighting, and song to ward lightning.

She'll reply to any return text messages or anyone who approaches her while she's at shinki training.

Shinki Training
It's been awhile since Ginia has participated in the physical portion of shinki training, but today she dives into training with a fury. She's fast, incredibly well-balanced, and dexterous as she tackles the obstacle course with the full range of skills without holding back. Borderline barriers flash in and out as she uses her own as walls and platforms to leap off of, taking advantage of the lightness shinki have to slow herself or build momentum by releasing it at the right time. Any borderline attacks that come her way, she retaliates with all her power, slashing through barriers or countering with attacks. It's a personal test and whenever she finishes a run; she dives back in if no one else is waiting or tackles another obstacle. There's a single-minded focus bordering on obsession or punishment.

The easiest time to catch her is between laps when she pauses for a brief water break or when volunteers are needed to create borderline obstacles on the course. Or be one of the ones throwing a borderline her way.

R&R
Ginia keeps to herself  on the deck, slowly working on a plate full of food and a cup of tea. The food is mostly untouched as she studies something on her phone, a pad of paper and a pen in purple and gold (thanks, goats). She whistles - Song of Fire - as she studies, jotting down what looks like a list of cities.  If someone sits down at the spots next to or across from her, she might not notice right away, startling when she does or if someone gets her attention.

"Sorry, didn't see you." Ginia forces a sheepish smile and gestures at the deck. "It's definitely an interesting setup today, isn't it."

God Training

[Goodness gracious, is this onboarding or is this High Tea? Waver, half expecting someone to jump on him to throw him out because he's been kicking around the Heavens as a shinki until nearly two weeks ago, waits. And waits. And waits. For someone to take the stage, or pull him aside privately to explain his duties and responsibilities and whatever else Iskandar wasn't able to cover, because as far as he knows, he's the only new face in here.

The tea is excellent, though. As are the sweets. Worthy of the Savoy (though thoughts of tea at the Savoy brings too many bitter, and not enough sweet memories to light). Hibiki has taste not even Mages like Luvia could ever find fault with, and presentation to match.]


Do you think she'll at least provide a pamphlet if I ask?

[With a touch of dry humor, because his first day had involved a bloody blow up over the shinki pamphlets and to think back on that...

... still aren't fond memories. That had been a hell of a day.]


Shinki Training

... bloody hell. I feel like I'm at Piccadilly.

[G U L P.

But he knows why he's here. To not become ayakashi food. Even if he's cringing internally because there were reasons he wasn't great at gym and the whole thing still feels ugh. Reasons that don't all apply now he's a Servant (and there's conflicting feelings of enjoyment out of now being capable after a lifetime of being frail), but co-ordination and physicality and all things fighters have years of training in, Waver has to continue to learn from the base up, despite what his stats say.]


Is that a tightrope?

[G U L P. Good thing gods fly?

...

... how do they fly? Is it the same principal as being taught here to shinki? Has he gotten over his head?]


[Wildcard]

[For everything else!]

[a: intro...ok no introductions that's fine too]

[Considering how Shun typically gets on with Hibiki, he can figure the kind of "experience" he's going to get if he enters the normal way. Which is why some might notice a slightly ajar window near the top of the castle, moving conspicuously back and forth as if someone just went through it.

Shun, for his part, is doing his level best to avoid the hell out of anything that looks like it might end up running video of Hibiki, but in the event he has to cross paths with anything, the speakers seem to...warp and garble to the point of being unintelligible until he passes through, at which point they return to normal once he's out of earshot of them. His remark on it doesn't leave too much to the imagination on who caused it, though.]


I don't know whether this is exactly as bad as I was expecting or worse than I was expecting.

--

[b: shinki training]

[There is absolutely no other variant of training that Shun is willing to take part in operating here right now, so when he finds the part that's being run by Wendy with some modicum of sense, he takes it as a reprieve. Even if that reprieve happens to be something that'd probably be an absurd challenge to most other people, Shun takes it with no hesitation.

He can be found on just about any part of the course, going through it with smooth motions and skilled acrobatics, occasionally with a bit of extra spin or turn that might seem unnecessary but ends up playing into something further down the course, an extra bit of momentum or correction of an angle or something. Though he finds the trapeze a bit excessive, he does surprisingly well with it for someone who's never had reason to use one before, working out the trajectories and even managing to flip over to catch the second one with his knees instead of his hands before flipping back up onto the second platform.]


I wonder if this sort of thing is what they used to train in Standard... [Yuya had a bit of a circus obsession, to put it lightly, and the people from Standard he's had to work with have been solid enough in their athletics.]

--

[c: the part where shun just ditches and finds somewhere else to train]

[Unfortunately, even the obstacle course only keeps Shun occupied for an hour or two before he decides it's time to train something else, except...there aren't really the facilities to train in the kinds of things he actually wants to train in.

Thankfully, there's a good amount of open space in Central District, so after the morning, anyone who ends up leaving the castle for a breath of fresh air might notice Shun in one of the open spaces between temple grounds, currently in the midst of a spar with Kotori and the three soulless shinki he inherited that appears to be also focused on training their borderlines. That is, if the large number of them being flung around over here is any indication.

The three soulless shinki don't have the best aim at times, though, so those nearby may have a little dodging to do when one of those lines goes wide...]


--

[d: wildcard]

[[Shun will be open to people joining his little sparring session by ways other than having a borderline fly at them, so if your character wants something more combat-oriented for a little while, feel free to have them approach him for that!]]

A - Shinki Training

[For all that Wendy has set up some pretty extreme things around here, well, there are easier things available along with the same ol' option of just practicing borderlines. So she bounces from space to space with a bright smile and wearing one of her more trademark adorable lolita dresses.]

[For anyone who's practicing their borderlines or exploring some of the more basic equipment like the trampolines, Wendy comes over with a grin.]


Having fun?

[Because if you're not having fun, she can definitely do something that will... Well. If nothing else, she'll sure keep people busy.]

B - Shinki Hell Training

[But for the people who are even remotely in the vicinity of some of the more challenging things such as the tightrope or trapeze? Wendy pops up with her hands "innocently" laced behind her, batting her eyelashes.]

Thinking of giving it a try? It's not as hard as it looks!

[This is true. It is often in fact much harder.]

C - Refreshments

[Occupied as she is with her training course, Wendy is only freed up towards the end when it's time for everyone to take a break. As Hibiki's shinki and exemplar, Wendy has a special seat up near the front where the empty throne is as she eats a light meal.]

[Why is it light? Don't worry about it.]

[Instead, Wendy leans around to ask anyone who doesn't have their mouth completely stuffed.]


So what did you think about it?

[Because it's going to get way weirder in like fifteen minutes.]

Minako is pretty good with attending training dutifully, but.. let's face it and be honest, if every single temple out there had rides as part of the temple that you could use on training day, then she'd be even more eager to go there. Hence why she probably looks so excited today as she's looking between the rides, trying to decide what to sneak on before actual training begins.

Her focus on the decision is taken away the moment she spots Ginia, instead opting to smile at her. "Oh, Ginia! Yeah!" And since this is Minako, it'd be weird if she didn't try to rope the nearest person into making a fun experience a fun social experience. "Want to come with me?"

It's hard to tell if she's suggesting it exactly because Ginia seems more tired than usually, or whether she doesn't notice and is just being herself.

[Blink. That was fast.

Apparently there's pamphlets. On a silver tray no less. The day is looking up! Though that's really not hard compared to the day of his arrival.]


Oh, two? Apparently your lady is serious about seeing to my proper education off the bat.

[Smiling faintly, continuing with the slightest edge of wickedly dry sardonic humor, because... okay, look. One of them is for the Hibiki exhibit, which he's very tempted to visit, just to see what she's been up to and how she's going to fluff up her own self image in presenting those deeds. Does she exceed Iskandar and Saber levels of ridiculous - which he secretly loves in Iskandar's case - or do the kings truly reign over all?

The second is what he's been looking for, because he knows most of it, but there's a few gaps to his knowledge as to some of the particulars.]


Thank you.

...

[... wait... he thinks he recognizes this goat.]

Are you the goat that always brings me popcorn when Iskandar and Hibiki meet up?
artificialrose: (salamandroid) (Oh shit I just realized the ropes are)

Garry - ota

[personal profile] artificialrose 2019-06-19 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
A - Introductions

[Most people only have one goat following them around. In contrast, Garry seems to have five around him at any given time, although only one really stays constant. Garry is sort of a known face, apparently, and it's easy to see why when he smiles politely and pats every single one that rolls up to him.]

[Listen. He goes jogging with them.]


Yes, it's good to see you too... You're doing a very good job.

[It's the least he can say to get them to go back to what they're supposed to be doing... Although that might not stop the flow for a while. He hopes that no one is getting interrupted by this, although people coming over to check out why there's a herd of robot goats around is probably pretty understandable.]

B - Shinki Training

[Garry has to hand it to the people who've been given the reins to training days: they're certainly doing some creative things. The video games at the last session were one thing, but a whole acrobatics room just for the shinki...?]

[Faintly, he wonders if Komaeda is having something as exciting as this, and briefly gets lost in his own head worrying about the idea.]

[However, he has to admit that it's a good idea in theory. Shinki do seem to be able to run a little faster and jump a little farther than most normal living humans are, so it's not bad to experiment with the idea. He tells himself that all the way to the ladder up to the highwire, and partially up it... before Garry takes a look at the height he's doing and immediately comes down.]

[SO. THAT'S PRETTY HECKIN' HIGH, ACTUALLY.]

[Once he's back at ground level, he keeps one hand on the rungs and one hand at his chest, looking queasy.]


Oh... That's far too much. That's really far too much... [Blinking, he realizes someone has come near.] Oh, I apologize. Was I in your way?

C - Rest

[After what was certainly some training, Garry is glad to take a breather... and at quite a lavish dinner that is definitely on par with some of the things that Heaven itself has thrown for them. With the very impressive spread that has been put out for them, he can't help but wander around a little bit with his goat in tow.]

[When he comes across someone else, he smiles to them.]


It's quite a lot, isn't it? Where do you plan on eating?

D - Relaxation

[WELL THAT HAPPENED]

[After recovering from the daze of... a lot of what was a lot of whatever that was, Garry manages to get over his brief bit of sickness to head over to the railings. He's never really been this high up in most places, when he think about it... and definitely not in the Far Shore of all places. And he has to say...]


My... This really is beautiful.

The ride is a suspended spinning swing ride. It doesn't move at a dizzying speed, just enough to feel the wind and enjoy the view. An exciting and elegant ride, befitting the wonder and joy of Hibiki's temple. Normally Ginia would be all for hopping on, but at Minako's offer, there's a notable pause.

It's not like anything has changed. It's not like she can't still have fun and enjoy things now that she's dead and serving in the afterlife. If nothing else, maybe her service in Heaven might be a way to make up for the actions she can remember from her life. It's context filling in missing points, context she's sorely needed.

But memories sure are a double-edged sword. Ginia looks at Minako, puts on a smile as she finally nods, wondering much Minako would hate her if she knew Ginia was an assassin.

There's still another minute or so for the ride to wind down, for the goats riding to disembark and new passengers to get on. "How have you been?" It's a sincere question. She's noticed the recent departures; it's impossible not to notice how much smaller the contact list is these days.

[Despite the malaise that's taken over for the last few days, Ginia can't help but smile at the performance. Of course she'd perform at a training log hosted by her, of course she'd have the members of CelePara put on a show. Even the announcement of auditions for another media project isn't so surprising.

Vaguely, Ginia is aware of the fact if she accepted Hibiki's outstanding offer sooner, she might have been up there too.

At least there's one person Hibiki doesn't have to worry about being upset at the impromptu kidnapping, though she'd argue against being a treasure of any kind but the cursed variety. Ginia heads to the deck and leans against the railing, enjoying the scenery. In contrast to her usual joy after all of Hibiki's performances, Ginia seems a little subdued.]


Congrats on the announcement of your new television show.

"Huh, me?"

The question seems to genuinely catch Minako off guard, and she blinks in surprise at the other. She's been asked a lot about how she's doing by people who noticed the disappearances, but it's been a few days since the last time. It causes the momentary surprise until Minako - a slight moment later - remembers why Ginia might be asking.

"Ah, I'm fine, fine!" It's not a total lie, considering she's not exactly miserable. But Zelda's disappearance hasn't left her totally unaffected, even after a while. Talking about that is completely unlike Minako though. "I'm staying at Yuna's temple now. Do you know her? She's super sweet."

[Unfortunately, considering what Shun's like about spygoats, it's not going to be "seeing" anything for much longer. As soon as he spots it, his eyes narrow slightly...and the lenses of the goat's eye cameras are promptly sandblasted opaque, as if the glass has been sitting on a beach for some long years slowly getting eroded.]

I'm sure I can find my way around this ridiculous place on my own. Even if there's far more of it than someone who can't see past the end of their own nose needs. [Did Shun leave the sound intake alone so Hibiki could still hear all his insults? Probably. He knows if he trashes anything, it's just going to end up at Wendy's feet at the end of the day, so he's taking the pettier option here.]

[The decision to create a television show isn't a surprise. Ginia wouldn't quite say the movie was a rousing success outside of a select group of devotees and the rare ran into genre-blending musical movies, but one must always keep moving forward. There's no harm in producing a television show, it could be fun.]

No other training sessions will be as grand, that's for sure. Wendy is doing a great job with the area for shinki training too.

[It's not a traditional training session by any means, but their generation never was traditional either. It doesn't seem like there are any new arrivals anyway. Maybe it's better people aren't showing up now, but it bothers her still. Was it really the cult bringing people here? Or some other factor?]

[personal profile] unlucky7 2019-06-19 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It's so much easier focusing on other people than herself. Ginia scrutinizes Minako a little, worried she's putting on a front. It's been awhile, but disappearances have a way of lingering too. Especially first gods. Especially first gods you've had for awhile. She's not going to press too much though. She has a place to stay and that's the important part.

"I'm not sure. The name doesn't ring a bell." Ginia looks a little sheepish at that. "What's her god name?"

You are. [Smile.] The snacks were much appreciated. You don't see genius in action much in these parts.

[He wonders if Hibiki is listening in (well, he expects a whole surveillance network in here, but to him in particular) and taking it as genuine, unvarnished praise, rather than the humored observation it is. Apollo truly is a genius in entertainment - just how Waver is entertained may leave a little to be desired.

Reines' trollish ways did rub off a little. Just be glad Waver isn't a sadist like her.

But more importantly, he tips his head toward Ginia. "How are you doing?"

Minako looks like she has to think about that. Not for long, obviously, but just long enough that it's pretty obvious that she's still getting used to the transition from one temple to another - and more importantly, from one god to another.
