It has come to my attention that recently there was a very large misunderstanding that resulted in quite a few Near Shore deaths and a number of gods and shinki being attacked by ayakashi. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize on behalf of the entirety of the Heavens for this grave mistake.

Unfortunately, there appears to have been a mix-up while delivering the chocolates and it seems that they became tainted in the process. We are currently uncertain as to whether this was the active working of someone against the Heavens or if it was simply an accident. Either way, a mistake was made and many people paid the consequences for it.

We assure you all that every effort to track down the culprits is being made and all security measures will be increased drastically from here on out to prevent any future incidents like this one.

Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns to this thread and they will be dealt with in a timely manner.

Thank you.

That is correct. I have not been stung.

There were many shinki in charge of transporting the chocolate, but there was no reason to suspect that anything was wrong with them. The chocolates were obtained through means I am unaware of, but I assure you that it was through a trusted source, as my counselors have assured me.

Can you tell us which of your counselors assured you of that? Or would that person be able to answer our questions about their source?

[She didn't check them to begin with, she doesn't know where they came from and she still believes that?

Ah, the important question: gullible or complicit?]

[godsoffortune]

They are unfortunately unavailable at this time, and I feel it would be wrong to out their name without them being able to come and speak for themselves. I assure you that they are very trustworthy, though, and have been with me for many centuries.

However, they may have been themselves mistaken or misled.

[Or lying.]

Should you wish any assistance with the investigation, I would of course be happy to volunteer my services.

[godsoffortune]

That is very true, and I am certainly not ignoring that possibility.

Thank you very much, Cho Hakkai, I appreciate every little bit of help that I can look forward to in the future as we move to make amends for this grave failure.
