I'd like to take this time to invite any interested parties to my Temple in two day's time for a group training session.  Our primary objectives will be to work on stealth, speed, and camouflage, along with surveying one's surroundings in potentially high-tension situations.

[...did she just describe a game of Hide and Seek?  Maybe.]


The session is open to all shinki and gods, regardless of age or experience.  I'll do my best to provide some refreshments on the side.  If you have any further questions, you're welcome to get in touch with either myself or my shinki, Trunks--really, it was more his idea than mine.

[Credit where credit is due] 

Hopefully, this can be a fun learning experience for many.




((ooc: Trunks has a log up for anybody who wants to thread out any training/mingling at Mai's Temple))

Question: If one has a power that might give them an advantage in this training session, can they use it, or are we all forced to be normies to even the playing field?

[waitingforhope]

I would never force anyone to do anything.

You can use your power if you want, but I will remind you of this: the purpose of training is to help people grow. Maybe giving them an extra challenge could be beneficial. But if it's something that all but defeats the purpose of the exercise--for example, if you can constantly turn invisible and choose to remain in that state at all times--then what would be the point?

[light_of_willpower]

She covered the basics pretty well, but staying with the example of invisibility, there are ways to counter that and learning how to do that is valuable too. For example there's smell and sound, which an invisible person wouldn't be able to counter. To say nothing of laying traps that might also indicate a presence there.

This seems like a excellent suggestion. I would certainly be interested and shall ask my god if he feels the same.

Thank you for providing us with this opportunity. What time should we have to meet?

[waitingforhope]

Thank you.

My temple will be available from a little after sunup to after sunset. People are welcome to come and go as they please all day. Although I would recommend mid-morning as an ideal time to begun.

[he_smol]

[ Well that sounds reasonable. ]

Very well. Please count us in attendance. I sincerely hope the turnout will be enough to lead to a successful training session.

My name is Heine Wittgenstein, shinki to the god Idaten.

Oh, that seems like fun, maybe I'll drop by and participate.

[waitingforhope]

We would be happy to have you. Even if it's just for a little while.

[smilingbullet]

Thank you! That's nice of you to say!

So does that mean this is going to be hide and seek?

[waitingforhope]

Not necessarily.

Although if you want to think of it that way, I'm sure I couldn't stop you.

[sweetdeath]

No offense or anything! It just kind of sounded that way to me.

I'll have to ask Yamanbagiri if he wants to come along, but this sounds like fun!

un: Caster; video or just mostly audio

[futhark]

So you decided to take the training in your own hands?

[ Honestly, that idea sounds fun, and quite different than the training he saw on his first day ]

Are there rewards for winners?

[waitingforhope]

[Something like that. Although she couldn't deny credit went to Trunks for the inspiration.]

Is the satisfaction of knowing you've worked hard to improve your skills not enough?

[futhark]

It's as it should be! But reward is always a good additional motivator. Even if it's as simple as a badge of "Best Score", "Most creative camouflage" and so on.

[artificialrose]

I think I could use some help with that last one, honestly...

Would you like some help on the refreshments front? I feel like it's the least we could do if you're offering something like this.

[waitingforhope]

[She nodded in response to both comment and question alike.]

That would be really helpful, thank you. I know a few people have already agreed personally to come, but I can't be certain of just how many will be there in total.

[artificialrose]

Well, the good news about food is that, most of the time, you can save it for later.

And sandwiches are pretty simple to make! I'm sure I can manage that much.

[kokuyoyo]

....What'll be there...? For training...

[waitingforhope]

We're planning to have a layout similar to the obstacle course, although with a very different design. Open, but with enough camouflage and hiding opportunities to provide more of a challenge for those who want help in that area. Wide spaces for those who need to practice sprinting. And there are a several trees on the edge of the field to navigate through as well.

[kokuyoyo]

I see....That's a lot of work.... Is it always going to be up...?

[nopixiedust]

Um, when you mean speed... You mean just on the ground, right?

[waitingforhope]

Why do you ask?

[She hadn't seem any real need to specify. Not everyone could fly, but she also didn't want to limit those who wanted to work on their air speeds too.]

[kagenonadeshiko]

this sounds like a lot of fun.
i'd be delighted to drop by and participate.
if you need any additional assistance with instruction or refreshments, please let me know.

[waitingforhope]

I wasn't planning on too much formal instruction, actually. If people want to group up and do individualized exercises, that's one thing, but the idea is to leave things as open as possible.

I wouldn't mind extra assistance with refreshments, though. Somebody suggested I have ice cream at the end of the day. Do you know where I might be able to find a large enough supply?
