- [ It's been a while since he last posted about this, but! Souji offers the network at large a smile from the interior of his temple, cats milling around as per usual. ]
Early last month, I asked if there was anyone that was interested in doing group studies. Since then, a lot's happened, and there have been new arrivals as well as departures. Unfortunately, some of those departures were people that offered to lead certain subjects, so I felt it might be a good idea to ask again. [ He inclines his head respectfully, quiet for a second before continuing. ]
As many of you have likely seen, Hakkai-san is offering tutoring for certain subjects - math and Japanese, for example - at a previously abandoned temple. I know from talking with others that Japanese, especially, is in demand due to the fact that a lot of arrivals aren't familiar with the language. So if you feel you may need help with either of those, please, take a look at the schedule.
He's also been kind enough to open up the space to other lessons so...
I think it'd be a great idea to get on track with actually doing these studies, both to learn new things we might need and to enrich ourselves since it's a little difficult for us to go to school on the Near Shore. We should be able to help one another, right? [ He flashes a friendly smile, easy as anything. ]
Personally, I worked as a tutor back home, so I have some experience in the matter. I'm specifically good with history, literature, and science, but also with Japanese and English both. For non-school subjects it's mostly first-aid and cooking, but if you're interested in fishing or origami, then that, too.
But there are a lot of us here who might not have the proper training when it comes to certain types of weapons, the use of magic or other newfound abilities, or just fighting in general. I have combat experience, but I'm self-taught and it's with swords only. If there's anyone that would be interested in offering training for whatever styles of combat and weaponry that they specialize in, I think it'd be appreciated. I know I'd personally like to learn more forms of combat, as a god, so that I don't somehow hurt my shinki in the event their vessel is one I've never used before.
If there's something in particular you're interested in learning or teaching, please feel free to let me know. I'll compile a list for both, and do a follow up after the next batch of arrivals comes in so that they can join as well. If you previously volunteered to lead a study group for a certain subject, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if you're still interested so we can match you up with groups.

[She's got a quiet tone to her voice though. She understands perfectly that some people can be shy around strangers and not close friends, or children vs. adults, and all of those possibilities. Kairi just hasn't known Nanako to be shy at all.]
Izanagi's temple, then... Is there a landmark I can look for?
no subject
[ Nevermind him singing the Junes song with her, or all the time they spent with just the two of them when Dojima was working. But she has opened up a lot more, since he first met her, and he can relate to that. ]
That's right. Here, I can head down to give you a look at it. [ He'll take his phone with him as he gets up, and head through the temple. ] It's on a hill, and down at the foot of the path up is a torii.
no subject
And I'm glad that Nanako's managed to feel more comfortable than all that. It would make total sense too, being in a big scary place like this and all of the responsibility of a god too, at her age... But if she has a big brother like you around, I can imagine that's easier.
no subject
[ Because there's a lot. ]
She's been through a lot, on top of becoming a god here, so I try what I can to make it easier. It definitely helps that she's meeting such good friends here, though.
no subject
[Her train of thought goes completely derailed at that because Nanako hasn't mentioned them at all. Is it something that Nanako likes, having lots of pets?]
no subject
[ It's a bit of a Dojima family - sans his uncle, anyways - project at this point, since Nanako is definitely invested in it here. ]
no subject
[She does smile at the idea of Nanako helping, just guessing that she couldn't keep away from such a sweet endeavor.]
You rehome them down at the Near Shore, right?
no subject
[ Kairi wouldn't be shocked in the least to discover that she's right. ]
Sometimes. I've only rehomed a handful so far, but I'll probably actually do a post here on the network the next time I do it, to see if anyone wants to see if there's a cat or two they'd like to take home. I know Nanako has someone from her pantheon that she wants to give a kitten to.
