Matsu had specifically requested that his "coronation" so to speak to be low key and informal. Instead, he found himself standing in a large room, that although sparsely decorated was done so quite tastefully, and was currently filled with seated Shinigami looking up at him expectantly. Matsu coughed; not nervously, but just to hear the sound, and how it echoed in the room. Despite its size, the acoustics were good. He would not have to strain to make his voice heard. That was lucky.
Moments before, he had entered the room and had heard whispered conversations quickly being hushed up. His sharp ears had detected a fair amount of gossip from the first 10 rows or so, and he was a little annoyed that some of it was ill-informed sniping. It seemed some people were unhappy about, shall we say, what Matsu found attractive in life. The main point seemed to be along the lines of "how is a girly fairy like that supposed to lead?"
Matsu cleared his throat and began to speak. "Good morning to all of you. My name is Amatsu Mikaboshi, I am the new 12th Division Captain. Call me Matsu. I don't really care if you use an honorific or not; it's your choice. I hope that we will get to know each other. I'm sure we will be good friends if you enjoy both the sciences and the arts as I do. Thank you for your attention."
He turned to go.
