Dojo Etiquette

• Attitude of Reverence - A temple is a sacred space where a meditative and contemplative attitude is encouraged. Adopt an attitude of respect and reverence on the temple grounds. Switch off your mind and tune into your heart and high-self to get the most out of your temple visit.
  
  
• Dress Well - Generally a formal and conservative dress code is the best. When in the house of healing, there is an expectation that you honor the divine by wearing plain. Silks, jewelry and formal tailored attires are preferred. No shorts, tube tops or revealing clothes which are considered disrespectful. Socks and shoes should not be worn in the temple grounds.
  
  
• Wash Your Feet - If possible just after you enter the temple gates wash your feet and look up and contemplate the gopuram. This serves as reminder for you to shift your energies towards heavenly matters and humble yourself before God. Then, step in through the main temple doors under the gopuram.
  
  
• Ring the Bells - When you enter the temple, the main temple doors are adorned with little bells. Ring the little bells (as many as you wish) and make a silent wish. These bells are designed to clear your vibration and attune your spiritual energies before you enter the main temple hall.
  
  
• Prayer - You do not have to be a Hindu to receive blessings in a Healing temple. If you are comfortable praying in a Healing temple then you may do so with both your palms together facing the main sanctum. Prostration and touching your forehead to the ground when the deepam is raised is a common practice. Kneeling in prayer is also common. The goal is to connect with your highest and best self. And affirm your deepest truth and open your heart to loving guidance.
  
  
• Walking & Sitting Meditation - After paying your respects to the main deities you should encircle the temple in a clockwise direction. This is a form of walking meditation and you are encouraged to still your mind and contemplate the beautiful sculptures that adorn the temple walls. Once you have come one full circle you are encouraged to sit and meditate. If you know any mantras you are free to recite them silently.
  
  
• Sit Cross Legged - Sitting and meditating on the temple grounds after prayers is encouraged. Always sit cross-legged or if your skirt does not permit it sit with your feet tucked tightly to the side. Never point your feet out to the deity or to the performers on a stage when sitting on the floor. This is considered deeply sacrilegious.
  
  
• Children - Children are very welcome in the temples. However, parents should ensure that they are properly dressed and on their best behavior within the temple grounds.
  
  
• Respect Elders and Priests - There is a deep reverence for elders and priests within the Healing tradition. Putting your palms together in a prayerful manner when greeting elders and priests is a sign of respect that will be highly favored.
  
  
• Smile and Nod - Healer's place much emphasis on body language and non-verbal communications. They often study a person’s face, attitude, aura and vibration. A smiling countenance and a humble/agreeable attitude will score top points and typically grant you favors that direct verbal requests will not. Being aggressive and pushy is culturally unacceptable and will often backfire especially in conservative temple settings.
  
  
• Use the Right Hand - The right hand is used to receive and give things (as the left hand is generally considered unclean). Use your right hand in temples to give and receive things from others. For example if you receive any food or puja offerings in the temple do so with the right palm cupped and facing up while the left palm cradles the right palm from under.
  
  
• Do Not Touch the Statues or Musical Instruments - Certain statues are considered sacred and should not be touched. Musical instruments are also considered sacred and only the artist is allowed to touch them.
  
  
• Filming Without Intruding - If you are filming or taking photos in the temple be considerate. Many devotees and priests do not appreciate a camera being thrust into their faces when they are in the midst of deep prayers meditations or rituals. Keep a respectful distance when filming. And do not block the devotees path or sight of the sanctum to get a better shot.
  
  
• No Meat, Smoking or Alcohol - The temple is a space where the consumption of animal meat, and other forms of toxins like drugs and alcohol are strictly prohibited. Although you may consume water, you are generally not encouraged to eat any food (other than temple food if offered in the temple). If you are offered food within the temple grounds you should receive them with gratitude and with the right hand cupped above the left hand. Rejecting temple food is considered ungracious and is regarded as rejecting the blessings of the Lord.
  
  
• No Kissing or Hugging - The temple is a conservative place. Hugging, kissing or any form of touching between couples is frowned upon within the temple grounds.

[The Doctor]

[Enter]

The Doctor entered the Temple grounds before his companion slightly ahead. He rode in with his RideBack as his Goggles stayed over his eyes. The Doctor would stop before entering the main court yard where the stairs was connected and exited his RideBack. Pushing up his Sniper Goggles he made sure the lenses were still in working order as they held multiple visual lenses including Night-vision, Thermal, X-Ray, Condition, Substance, Anti-Flash protection, and of course Lie-Detector.

The RideBack was left in Long form as his Operations Bag stayed on the back of the RideBack. Inside the bag a person could find his 4 empty 50 ml vials, his sickle, a ribecage spreader, a hand shovel, a 3" caping knife, a 4 and a quarter inch gut hook knife, a 6 inch boning knife, a 6 inch wood/bone saw, a pair of secateurs, a pair of all purpose cutting sheers, a grape knife, an all purpose outdoors knife, and approximately 32 Sunrods.

His waist was covered by his extravagant beige Utility Belt that carried his 8 tracers, a Tracking Device, a Dungeoneer's Compass, a Multi-tool, a 4 inch Flashlight, a Disruptor that had a Mine Detonator enhancement and a Sonic Detonator enhancement 2 Vials of a specific healing mixture, and 12 vials of specialized nuts. Behind his back where no one could see he kept his Grapnel Gun and his Line Launcher.

Hands covered in his Sap Gloves he looked over to his left arm where he kept his Senbon Bracelet that housed 1 slot of Senbons while a Lensatic Compass compass rested on top. In his ear he kept his Wireless Radio secured just in case if he needed to use it, and of course in case if someone needed him.

The Doctor made sure to shut down the RideBack and made sure to check on the two Hoverboards that were engineered with the wheels that allowed a "flight" mode for whenever he would ever go over water.

He quickly wrapped his navy blue scarf over his mouth and headed towards the Temple while still wearing his long black overcoat.

He would turn to the others and smile with his calm soft smile "Well we are finally here. I need to go inside. Come if you would like but they have strict rules around here. I don't know where they have them listed however," he stopped and thought for a moment. "Actually even I do not know all the rules. Let's hope we can find them," he finished with a chuckle.

[Infinite Swordsman Trace]

Standing at the Entrance of the temple, Trace would remove a pocket watch from one of his coat's Velcro pouches. "My clone should have been here long ago. You go ahead Doc, Do what you need to. It seems my clone doesn't know his way... oh well." He would shrug as he scanned his eyes around the outside of the temple. "Geeze, I hope this place has food. I could eat an entire Soarwhale." throwing his head back so it hit the middle of the three sword holsters that lined his back.

His eyes glanced over his holstered swords, all fifty six of them along with his fully loaded senbon bracelet. Idly, he would remove a stick of gum from his jacket and place it in his mouth, tossing the wrapper into a garbage can nearby. Offering a stick to Sog afterwards. "Supposedly if the flavor ever goes away, they sacrifice four virgins... hope they haven't ever done that..." He muttered the last part as he looked over a plaque with the temple rules on it, deep in reading he pointed towards a certain word. "Sacrilegious? The hell does that mean?" He stated, blowing a bubble and itching his earlobe in the process. "The hell man, Meat isn't a poison! I don't like this place already! If there's no meat, I'm totally not eating here. I'd rather eat at that place with all the underdressed kunoichi as waitresses... with the chicken wings... what's the name of that place? Titters?"

[— sogetsu]

[Enter]

Sogetsu followed suit as they made their way inside, his silence signifying that he was in awe as he surveyed the immediate vicinity and took in the sights. He'd not witnessed such things like this back home. Just one more stepping stone to knowledge, he supposed. His katana remained strapped to his left side as his forearm pressed up against it, the ice blue of his eyes slowly counting the patrons and listening to Trace and Dr. Adams upon their entrance. It seemed that the good doctor was more fit for such a place. Trace, on the other hand, was more than relaxed.

He lifted a hand to decline. "No, thanks. I'd like to keep my fingers and toes. This place looks like it's no joke.." he muttered.

It was as if this temple was a divine grounds that none could ever tarnish, save Trace's clear disregard for the regulations of these walls. Sogetsu pushed his hair back and took to ambling beside Dr. Adams, shaking his head. "So...if they take us, I'm offering Trace as the first sacrifice.." he worriedly stated. His mother would have his head if they'd returned and word had been sent that Sogetsu had neglected to show the proper respect. As such, the Ranzatsu ensured that his butt bag and all of the equipment therein was in place and out of sight - there was something about a stray stun grenade accidentally hitting the floor that put people on edge.

Dr. Adams would not be without a guard as he went to take care of his business. Sogetsu's boots echoed along the floor as he kept a watchful eye, every one of his senses on full alert - should he have had to convert them for any reason, it would have almost been instantaneous. "Anything I can do to make this any smoother?"

[The Doctor]

Sorry not the greatest post. I normally have events planned out. This is just a shot in the wind for me.

"My Clone should have been here long ago." Trace spoke.

'Should have gotten a radio for it,' the Doctor thought to himself as he just smiled with a half chuckle.

"Geeze, I hope this place has food. I could eat an entire Soarwhale." Trace commented while throwing his head back so it hit the middle of the three sword holsters that lined his back.

"Could ask, they might be able to accommodate you," the Doctor replied.

"The hell man, Meat isn't a poison! I don't like this place already! If there's no meat, I'm totally not eating here. I'd rather eat at that place with all the underdressed kunoichi as waitresses... with the chicken wings... what's the name of that place? Titters?" commented Trace once again.

Eyes widen as he heard the man speak in such language and he slowly shook his head with a nervous look on his face.

"Anything I can do to make this any smoother?" Sogetsu asked.

"Not really, just need to go in, and see if anyone is willing to leave here, and go back to the Country of Sound, I've only done this once but I was so much younger," The Doctor answered with a nervous laugh.

He sighed and slouched some as he placed his hands into his pockets. He was nervous. What did he expect from inside? Would they be accommodate such a lengthy need?

"What's all that racket out there?!" yelled from inside the Temple. "Well Speak up?!" yelled once more. The voice was gruff, but female, someone of age for sure. At first the Doctor couldn't see what was inside until he finally saw someone coming out. The light shined down at the entrance but the inside kept a shadow to cover whom it was. He first would see the feet. Purple slipper like shoes, Arabian, or Chinese style. He'd notice that this person was extremely light skinned as well, but not too light to be confused by the pure white pants. These pants were of Arabian style as well, tight around the ankles with a more fluid and breathable feel across the legs.

As the person was walking out into the sunlight more and more was seen. The pants were held by a light green sash which separated her Martial Arts gi. The Gi was red in color with a green outline with a purple sash that went over diagonally on the side. Within the Chinese Martial Arts uniform she also wore long sleeves white in color. By now they would tell it was a woman, an older woman, perhaps in her 40s, or 50s. Her hair was curly, pink, and shoulder length. She stared out at the 3 with her dark eyes. On top of her head she was wearing a manji with the characters "master" written on it.

She was a short woman, standing 4'3" judging from how the Doctor was seeing her. There was however something powerful about her. She had great power within her. Energy emitted from her drastically like no other, but not in the sense of a NinJutsu Master. Obviously she was a Dian Xue Shu master since she resided in the temple. There was a sense of healing however that formulated from this woman. Judging from how she carried herself she was also a martial artist of some sort. She had a strong soul as well. She wasn't carrying any items on her, but that wasn't needed for this woman as he Defense in the art of Tenkai was unparallel.

"Well, are you just going to stand there? Or what? What do you want?!" she barked out loud.

"Uh, excuse me!" the Doctor replied loudly. "My name is Dr. Jean Adams. I am here seeking teachers, and masters of Dian Xue Shu. I need assistance to further my medical practice of healing." The doctor responded clasping his hands together as his eyes closed with a nervous smile.

The woman frowned and sighed. "Ya ya alright, there's fruits inside. Come and eat if you want. I'll make sure a meeting happens," the woman answered as she disappeared inside.

"Well guys at least now we're in the door. I'm sorry there's no meat though," he chuckled to Trace.

[Infinite Swordsman Trace]

"Good graceful bountiful Buddha!" Trace would shout as he hid behind Sogetsu. "She... She came out of nowhere! Like... Like... A ninja." he shook like a leaf on a tree, there was something about this woman who scared the life out of Trace, feeling his heart beat rapidly. Soon, he finally would begin to relax as the fear was quite misguided.

Rushing within, Trace would be faced with a veritable buffet of healthy fruit. "The hell is this..." He picked up a pomegranate and took a bite of it, peeling back the bitter white pith and biting into the seeds within. "Not bad... but." as he speedily finished the piece of fruit. "It's not as good as meat..." He mumbled as he cracked open a coconut with his bare hands, drinking the milk within. "what exactly does this place teach anyway Doc?" He asked in between gorging himself.

[— sogetsu]

Sogetsu didn't know why Trace was hiding behind him. He was just as scared..

He picked up an apple and took a bite out of it as they helped themselves, shaking his head at Trace's inability to have manners about himself. "I'm not certain. But it looks like you come out of it with great knowledge. At least, that's what I gather from the aura of purity around here.."

His eyes once more scanned the place as he watched patrons pass. There was something different to the aura that surrounded him. Even to his senses, it was the purest of forms. Was Dr. Adams to learn something of these people? Perhaps he'd be able to tear a building down with a single finger! Perhaps he'd be able to thump a person in the head and send them flying? Sogetsu had heard stories about this before, but he'd never truly invested in them. He regarded Trace with a slight scowl. "Must you be so loud? You could probably wake up a village with your consumptions..." he noted.

Sogetsu eyed the woman, but not for long - he was almost certain that she could take him apart at the seams if she so chose. His fingers gripped his blade with anxiety, a bead of sweat threatening to roll down his cheek. "Big things come in small packages. Now I see what they mean..."

[The Doctor]

"What exactly does this place teach anyway Doc?" Asked Trace as he was gorging in food.

The Doctor smiled and gave a half chuckle as he watched the man eating, and enjoying the treats that was graciously given to him. "A martial art, and a medical art called Dian Xue Shu, it teaches the art of pressure points. The points can have medical benefits, or horrible consequences depending on how they are administered." he said following the woman still.

"Wait here," the woman bellowed. The woman disappeared into the Library at the end of the temple as the team would wait for several minutes.

During the time the Doctor would just stand there and somewhat enjoy the company.

"Big things come in small packages. Now I see what they mean..." Sogetsu would speak out.

"Indeed," the Doctor would reply as he would smile looking up at the ceiling, taking in the scenery. He turned his attention towards Trace, "How's the food. I'm sorry you do not have meat, maybe when we get back I'll treat you to some," he commented with a chuckle.

The woman would come back from the library as she sighed scratching her head. "Hey boy," she yelled out from the entrance. "The Head Master will see you now," she yelled once again.

The Doctor would turn his attention to Sogetsu and Trace and give a slight shrug. "I guess wait here, if I need anything I'll yell in pain," he said with a laugh before walking to the Library.

The woman disappeared inside before heading to the second library located on the left side of the first library.

(Somewhat short post, I'm sorry for the long wait. I'll see what you'll guys will do. I'll start on the next post now and basically just do the whole, gaining a teacher)

[Infinite Swordsman Trace]

"Medical huh? Pressure points..." Trace said as he thought over staring at a pineapple thoughtfully for a moment. "Nope... got nothing." He shrugged as he sliced the pineapple in half in a flash of steel. "I'm some kind of fruit ninja, ya know?" Trace stated as he ate the pineapple, peeling away the outside skin as the doctor spoke.

"I guess wait here, if I need anything I'll yell in pain."

Trace listened for a moment before stopping, almost dead in his tracks, his mouth full of tropical fruit. "Hefsh kiddinf... Frigfht?" he slurped the juices that came from the fruit, looking dead serious for minute.

[— sogetsu]

And with that, Dr. Adams was on his way to learning something new. Sogetsu merely gave Trace a glance, watching his expert swordsmanship. "The way she was looking at us? ....I don't think he was kidding at all." The image of her eyes still haunted him for moments. Still, his stomach commanded that he partake of the food before him and show some appreciation. As such, he'd finish an apple or two and thereafter toss an orange into the air. As it flew skyward, his right hand slowly slid toward the handle of his katana.

Shing!

The sound of metal whistling against the air with two strokes could be heard. The orange itself, still appearing to be whole, now fell into his hand as he held it out. Upon the click of the sword within its scabbard, its sphere would turn into four perfect portions, cut with an X. Sogetsu gently allowed one of the orange slices to fit into his mouth, consuming the fruit with a nod at its delicious taste.

The thought hit him - how could he protect Dr. Adams from the outside? Was the mission in jeopardy if he didn't do something to their liking? It stayed at the back of his mind as he examined the place, moving away from the table and beginning to circle the immediate area. It was exquisite, to say the least. He wished he had something to capture the moment. Daisetsu would definitely love to visit a place like this.

[The Doctor]

(Shitty Post, and it was kind of rushed in a weird way. I wanted toa dd more but well, I know people want to get back to Sound so ya lol.)

As the Doctor entered the second library by himself without his two bodyguards he met a man inside. The man stood over 6 feet, hair white as snow, beard that reached down to his belt. Eyes were worn, tired, with a cool crystal blue tint. His back was hunched, and yet he still looked quite tall.

He turned to the Doctor as the woman yelled out "Hey, old man, someone is here to see you."

A sweat drop appeared over the Doctor's forehead as he looked surprised from the remark of the woman.

"Oh? What is it?" the old man asked.

The Doctor stepped up and bowed. "Greetings, my name is Jean Adams, and I have an odd request," the doctor replied with a kow-tow.

"Hmm?" the old man continued as he turned his attention to the Doctor while raising an eyebrow.

"My odd request is, I was wondering if a Teacher would be willing to accompany me to my home in Sound Country, to help me with my medical practice, and teach me the ways of Dian Xue Shu," the doctor continued with his head still down in kow-tow.

"I am sorry we cannot allow that, however you can stay here and learn the ways of Dian Xue Shu." the old man rebutted, while turning down the request.

Eyes widened as he sighed softly as he straightened his body and gave a nod. "I understand, however I cannot stay here at this temple. I run a medical center at home and I cannot leave my patients behind. This is why I asked for such a complicated request."

"Bah, patients come and go, if you stay here then you can learn, but that's the only way," the old man continued as he waved his arm with impatience.

An eye twitched from the Doctor as he looked up and down at the old man. "Patients may come and go but no good Doctor and practitioner of medicine would ever take lightly of anyone whom is hurt."

"Bah! you know nothing of the world."

"I know many die, but it is the duty to help others in need..."

"You are a fool then boy, be gone with you. No teacher will go with you."

"And you are an old fool who have lived in this temple for far too long and have become succumbed to politics who has lost all understanding of your true purpose as a healer," the Doctor replied before turning around and heading out. The Doctor turned through the first Library and yelled out to Trace and Sogetsu. "We're leaving, apparently this was a waste of..." he yelled out in disgust before hearing a voice from behind.

"Wait, wait!" it was the old woman.

The Doctor turned towards her.

"I'll go, but I will not go with you now, but I will meet you at your home, write out your address and I shall go." she continued while holding a pen and paper.

The doctor's eyes widened as he took the paper and wrote down his address. "May I ask...why?" he asked curiously.

"I like how you talked to the old fool, and I need to get out of here, so I shall meet you in a week," the woman gave a wave as she took the paper.

The Doctor smiled and chuckled before turning around to face Trace and Sogetsu. "Well looks like this wasn't a waste, we should get going," he replied before heading out.

[Infinite Swordsman Trace]

Freezing, a dragonfruit halfway stuffed into his face, Trace would notice the doctor exit, obviously frustrated. "Wonfur what hapfened to fim..." muttered out, mouth full of food again, this time the sweet white pulp of the fruit littering every tooth in his mouth, not to mention the tiny black seeds. Chewing and swallowing, he heard the woman's voice again. "Sweet merciful Buddah!" he screamed, nearly choking as he dove under the table in the process. Poking his head out of the side, he noticed the woman wasn't angry this time. In a sigh of relief, Trace would exit the table slowly. "So you got your teacher, eh doc?" Trace would say, not even pausing towards the terrifying woman.

Putting his top pair of hands together, he would give a slight bow. "Gochisousama Deshita". As rude as Trace may had seemed, he was eternally grateful for those willing to share what they had. Turning, he would raise a hand and motion for leaving. "Alright, lets get back home. There's a bottle of soda waiting for me at the staggering behemoth." Trace smiled endlessly. "If you don't mind though. There's a little detour I'd like to make. And by little, I do mean absolutely freaking massive. I'd like to visit the Dojo of Burēdono Kenseijin in the land of Wind. It should only set us back an extra day or two if we travel by ferry once more. If either of you have any objections though, I'll absolutely not become sidetracked and we can return to Otogakure soon as possible." Trace said in a slightly winding fashion as they exited.

-Exit into Water Country-

[— sogetsu]

The doctor had more than a backbone. He also had the heart of a lion, it seemed. Many obstacles would come and go when faced with a dire situation. Sogetsu, for one, desired to face them with no less than a proud roar. Dr. Adams, it seemed, had just shown them how it was done.

The Ranzatsu gave a nod toward Dr. Adams, accompanied by a light fist toward his shoulder. "You're the man, doc." He eyed the old man who had given the doctor such a hard time, but without a word he would turn away and begin to follow Dr. Adams toward their intended destination.

He'd heard Trace's request, though his lips remained pursed for seconds as he looked at Dr. Adams. "It's not my place to object or confirm. Dr. Adams is the one who enlisted our help. If he has to get back, then we'll just have to come back another time. Sound can wait, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not eager about getting back to training.."

He thought of his parents and the regiment they'd most likely have for him on his return. His left hand slid along his blade, shaking his head. Those locks of silver-esque white fell away from his countenance, his coat swaying as he picked up the pace so as not to fall behind.

- Exit After Dr. Adams and Trace -

[The Doctor]

"So you got your teacher, eh doc?" Trace would ask

"Seems that way," the Doctor replied.

"Alright, lets get back home. There's a bottle of soda waiting for me at the staggering behemoth." Trace smiled endlessly.

The Doctor chuckled with a sigh and nodded. "Indeed, home does sound nice right now."

"If you don't mind though. There's a little detour I'd like to make. And by little, I do mean absolutely freaking massive. I'd like to visit the Dojo of Burēdono Kenseijin in the land of Wind. It should only set us back an extra day or two if we travel by ferry once more. If either of you have any objections though, I'll absolutely not become sidetracked and we can return to Otogakure soon as possible." Trace asked.

The Doctor thought for a moment before he turned towards Sogetsu.

"It's not my place to object or confirm. Dr. Adams is the one who enlisted our help. If he has to get back, then we'll just have to come back another time. Sound can wait, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not eager about getting back to training," Sogetsu would reply.

The Doctor somewhat hang his head as he thought to himself. He really wanted to get home in all honesty and gave a shrug. "Well I guess we can go to Wind Country, however Mr. Trace, as you go to the Dojo, me and Sogetsu will go to a shop that may be near by and I can pick up a couple of books," he replied with a condition. "If that is alright with everyone then I say let's go." he continued while heading out.

[Delphi]

LU 1: Zhong Fu (Central Residence)
Rank: "C" - Always 30 TP no matter the class
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Zong which means middle and Fu means place. This is referring to the middle Jiao where the Lung Meridian begins. The Qi of the Spleen Meridian / Stomach Meridian are gathered into the Lung Meridian at this point. The point is below the Acromial extremity of the Clavicle. One Cun, directly below LU 2: Yunmen (Cloud's Door), six cun lateral to the Conceptor Meridian, in the first intercostals space.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: In the pectoralis major and minor muscles, in its deep position, in the internal and external intercostal muscles. The Lung Points all do great Damage. LU 1: Zhong Fu (Central Residence) must be struck with a small weapon such as a one knuckle punch. Great Energy drainage and thus great local pain which will slowly spread over the whole chest area due to this points connection with another point called SP 21: Dabao (Big Wrapping) located within the Spleen Meridian. A strike here will hinder the progress of Gu Qi, in which is made from food and liquids. Apart from the immediate effect of the extreme pain in the whole chest area, the long term effect will be that the Gu Qi will not be produced and although an opponent who was struck may be taking in food, the Qi from the food given is going nowhere and so the health as well as one's lifestyle will slowly diminish. Medical Purposes - No deep needle toward sternum. Useful for all Lung issues, especially of excess type - cough, wheezing, asthma. Helps with Lung disharmonies involving Phlegm/Heat excess arising from the middle warmer - vomiting, and difficult ingestion.
Limit: Must know Meridian Location "Lung Meridian".
