Better late than never [ Tento | Moe | Shura | +4th members given permission]

On this day of the 4th things were a bit different. For anyone trained by habit and exposure of the division as a whole now they would know something was off. The fights were a bit less intense, their frequency and number lower. The number of people out on active duty seemed so small as well. Tasks finished before they normally would have, with greater oof in their steps even. Heck it did nothing to stop the groups of people going in and out of the division though for the last several hours of day break. Boxes. Boxss and bags upon boxes and bags. Just what was going on?

"Shh...shh...shhh", sounded a familiar voice as it sounded others to silence. The slow creeping of foots thankfully not creeking on the wooden planks that filled the halls of the 4th division. She should be there yea? It was near time for people to go to bed for downtime. Much time to go before bed but it was a sure thing. It had to be! People were keeping a watch of where she was all day after all. A few fmailat faces she had gotten to known even making sure to keep her extra distracted too. They were supposed to get her to her room within the one of the dorm barracks at this time. "Now", Tento whispered before flinging open the door. Flashes of pop flags and lights sounded as a mass group of the 4th yelled out hoping to see Moe.

"Welcome to the 4th!!!".

Moe didn’t mind when the training yard was a little emptier than usual, it gave her all the space she needed to really cut loose and get into it, but there was still that quiet little desire in her soul that yearned for an audience. She was the centre of attention, after all, the future star and all that. But she was also humble enough to know when to buckle down and focus on herself. There would be days in the future when she would look back on these quiet moments and regret not making more of them, after all.

As dusk began to set in, she set down Shinsho after one last routine and loosed a single satisfied sigh. This was hardly Moe at her most presentable, hair bedraggled and messy, her clothes dirty from a day spent hard at work, so she was quite looking forward to skulking into the barracks and curling up under the covers after a nice warm bath. To say that she was paying no attention to her surroundings was most certainly accurate, as she approached the door to her quarters with a leisurely pace.

Just where was everyone, any— BANG!

The door flew open in her face, sending the little bundle of bubblegum tumbling backwards to land unceremoniously on her posterior as the sudden display of flashing lights and whirling noises caused her no small amount of sensory overload. Staggering to her feet, she rubbed at those weary eyes for a moment to see if this was all some kind of dream, before realising that it was very much real. Swallowing that shock behind a mask of her already wounded pride, a toothy smile spread across her face as she let out as hearty a laugh as she could manage.

“Oh! You guys!!”

At the sight of the bubbly fiery bubbly bubblegum oni. The sound of frienfly snorts, giggles, and laughs filled the room and hall as the explosion welcome came down. Tento stepped forward, bending down by the knees in a crouch as he extended a hand out towards Moe. Wanting to give her hand a shake and help her back to her feet. A kind welcoming smile on his face. "Heh. A bit late but I figured late is better than none at all right? Welcome to the team Moe!".

Waiting g for her response a lot of people were eager to talk to the fiery member that chose against the new Captainin a tag team mate with gusto. But for now, claps and woops of welcome would come.

Clasping Tento’s outstretched hand, Moe sprang to her feet with an elastic burst of energy. She shook back fervently as he did, surprised that he had gone to all these lengths for her but also far too prideful to simply accept that. It was overdue, but a welcome like this was certainly welcome for Moe the mighty.

“Aw, thanks for thinking of me, Officer Zefa. Means a lot.”

Looking at the assembled crowd behind him, all the chuckling and the smiles, and scratched at the back of her head. A bashful grin soon worked its way onto her lips, the energy finding its way back into her heart like the embers of an old fire reigniting.

“So, you’ve brought the crowd. How do we go about making this a proper fourth division party?”

Tento was more than happy to help the new member of the 4th up to her feet. Strong and bubbly seemed how Moe was, the fight he witnessed during fight night, the group spar with Captain Kanae, and heck her personality. She was sweet, like bubblegum! And bouncing with tenacity. A mark that seemed to be present event more when she sprang to her feet.

The 4th was a warrior group. Soliders and always ready and hungry to serve. That was just how thr late Captain and Vice Captain Hanako rebuilt them. The love of combat was there like the former form of the 11th. Just not the...brute mercenary vibe that spat on the other styles of /he Shinigami art. Being welcoming was always there for the 11th by words, but even more upfront it seemed since Tento decide to bug and drag whoever agreed into being welcoming staff unofficially.

"My pleasure Moe", Tento said with a friendly smile before dropping his hand to his side. "Well we got many ways. But first, food and games!!", he said with a wide grin before letting out a sharp whistle. Hustling and bumbling, people scattwr to bring in food and slides of games too that bounced into the room as people shouted about what to play first.

"Hey hey, let the new girl pick!", someone said in the crowd. Bonking a person on the top of the head that was being overeager and tried to grab a game.

Tento thought letting Moe pick how the night would get started was a fine thing. Cracking out the first bottle of gaming if you would. Once she did that they could go into groups and do other games. Maybe have some dancing and music. Chit chatting too! And so as Tento and the others waited to get an answer by mighty Moe, the 10th seat simply had that same old soft welcoming smile on his face.

Hearing thr soft subtle sounds of one of the doors being opened to the room. Tento had partially shifted his gaze to see who it was coming to join the room. The energy of the person was felt before their sight. The long hair and stern expression of Shura as she peeked in. Acknowledging her with a look he then turned back. Before anyone spoke a greeting to her she crouched low, almost like a football tackle stance before lunching herself forward i to the air.

Tento felt her coming by all means. That speedy approach towards him. In a moment, SMACK!!!

Tento was hit on the side if the head by Shura's foot as she yelled out at him in an aggressive and somehwat comedic disbelief roaring statement. Rolling out in a dog roll to smack against the wall, legs up in the air and his head down. "Ugghg, well hello.to you too hot stuff. I see you decided to come fashionable laaate", Tento said looking up after absorbing the blow. A few snorts and laughs at the comment as well as Shura’s antics.

Pushing her way into the crowd, Moe was just about to choose her favourite board game when they were interrupted by the sudden arrival of Shura. Putting that down again, she barreled back through the crowd and over to the pair of pranksters with her hands firmly planted upon her hips. Her chest puffed out to look as intimidating as the tiny woman could, she glowered at the intruder.

"Hey, what's the big idea with kicking people in the head at a party? Coming here and complaining is one thing, but if you wanna fight then take it to the training yard."

It was not like Tento needed someone to leap to his defence, but this was her party and she would not let one sourpuss sap the fun out of the air. Still, she offered him a hand to get him back on his feet and waited for Shura's next move. Either she was going to get involved with the party or get her butt handed to her. That was the way Moe thought this would all go down.

Surprisingly well off and fine after taking that hard kick to the head. Tento just about having his vision settle from seeing three Shura’s to one as Moe popped out of the crowd and let loose some of that bubblegum oni energy. With a strangely relaxed huff he let his body slide onto his back before flipping to his knees. Accepting the hand out from Moe to get back up onto his feet.

He gave a nod of thanks but then turned to Shura and just...starred at her blankly. Several blinks through out her explanation. All after having a short raised eyebrow at the men comment. "Hey I tried to. I couldn't find your butt. In addition!!", Tento said pointing a finger out towards her in return. "I asked others to find you too. If no one could find you in the barracks or on the roof that's not my problem".

"Second. My training schedule and routine is kuch more strict and diverse than you. How rude to question my work effort", Tento said with a huff. A bit of comedic steam coming out of his nose as he puffed out his chest.

As Tento said this someone grumbled about forgetting to put a number of warning postures about the noise out in the barracks...

Then lastly Tento gave an exasperated sigh. "Lastly. For soul kings sake you don't need a present. Come in gave a few high fives. Tell jokes. Hang. He'll if ya want ask Moe to go shopping for presents later. I know you a hot head but geeeez", Tento said rubbing the sides of his nose with two fingers and closed eyes.
