From: Osiris
Posted: July 1.

Shinki and gods: I, the Valkyrie, open the temple of Osiris to those of you who wish to train in combat.

Battle against the ayakashi is a service gods and shinki alone can offer the mortal world. Though mortals voice prayers for all manner of things, they have the strength within them to improve their own lot -- to vanquish their personal demons, to overcome their obstacles, to deal with their fellow man. Divine aid in these cases is a boon, not a necessity. Not so with the ayakashi, who as we know can only be truly defeated when god and shinki align their strengths.

Therefore your duty must be to defeat these enemies. As most of you gained your position here through arbitrary assignation, many of you lack the ability to fight, and thus your ability to perform that task. I shall rectify that, should you wish to fulfill your duty.

honestly i dont really like violence but id rather be able to protect my god

what kinda training are you doing? i dont think i know anything with weapons

[ Ah, the downside of being a fresh shinki. You haven't realized what you body already knows. ]

[nibelungvalesti]

[Forgive her a moment of absolute confusion and irritation that any soul in the heavens could 'not like' violence.]

[What is the point of a god, after all?]

You cannot escape violence in execution of your duty. The ayakashi cannot be reasoned with nor peacefully dismissed. Therefore you ought to master it.

My Einherjar are all unfamiliar with weapons as well. You would be well advised to learn with them, then, to develop your skills with a weapon.

[ Well, they bring in all kinds of types to this crazy place. This type is just very contradictory. ]

its not like i dont know that. that doesnt change what i do and dont like.

are there certain times with this or...?

[nibelungvalesti]

Your preferences are immaterial to your duty.

With regards to time, I will train at any point I am in residence within the temple. That is most times, save where duty calls.

[bartenderizing]

i know. its why i was asking about this in the first place

[ Give him some credit. He knows there's a difference between what he prefers and what needs to be done. ]

okay.. do you have a usual time or routine for those people you said i should join?

[ Always open or not, he'd rather join in the regular stuff if he was going to do this. ]

[nibelungvalesti]

I shall ask those who come if they prefer a time, and let that be known. [This seems the simplest way to get everyone on the same page, which they apparently desire.]
