Pending testing, a vaccine for the recent flu outbreak will be made available through the Fourth. Please contact our administrative offices to begin scheduling appointments to receive inoculation.

On a personal note, I'll be taking a medical leave for the next few days. If anyone needs me, please send a butterfly to my quarters.

{Private to Hitsugaya-taichou}
It was an honor to be able to look after Hyourinmaru for you, although I'm sure you won't mind me saying I hope I never have to do that again under such circumstances.

[For his birthday, Isane has selected two books and a bag full of aromatic tea satchels. The card contains a little original haiku as well!]

"Happy birthday, Kira-kun. You probably know most of these already, but I found these books and thought you might enjoy them.

New leaves budding green
springtime shows her lovely face
bright lights limn the trees

It seems like whatever is going around is getting worse, so I'd like to take the time to remind people that the Fourth stocks supplements created to help boost the immune system. I recommend daily vitamin and mineral intake, since an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

For those of you who are already ill, make sure to get plenty of rest and drink lots of water and juice. Nurses and doctors are on call twenty-four hours a day in the case of medical emergencies. Medicine is available and can be delivered and distributed through each Division as necessary.

Thank you again to the gentlemen who left gifts for me on White Day. They are all very much appreciated.

{OOC: I was out of town this weekend so I didn't get to post this on time. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!}

[On the 14th, several gentlemen received carefully packaged red or pink drawstring pouches of handmade chocolate truffles (the cocoa-coated kind that melt in your mouth~), each with a silver paper snowflake and note tied to the top. Ukitake, Kira, Renji, Ikkaku, and Rose, as well as several of the male seated officers in the Fourth. Byakuya received a little pouch as well, but his contained a selection of herbal tea satchels and seaweed snack crackers.



The notes read:

Ukitake: Thank you for being a leader and a friend. I appreciate all of your hard work.

Kira: You're going to be the best captain that the Third has ever had. Make sure to get some sleep.

Renji: Make sure Hattori doesn't get his quills in these, I'm not sure if chocolate is good for plants.

Ikkaku: I hope everything's going well for you in the First Division. Stay healthy!

Rose: Thanks for keeping me company last Saturday. I had a nice afternoon.

Byakuya: I thought you might like to know that I spent last Saturday with a friend. Thank you.]

Two Shinigami who were listed by Ukitake-soutaichou as accomplices in the assault/kidnapping of Ise-fukutaichou and Yadoumaru-san have been apprehended today in the Fourth Division. They have been detained and are awaiting trial along with the other conspirators. Both unseated officers were fairly cooperative, and willing to offer more information in the hopes of a reduced sentence.

They admitted to stealing the spirit tranquilizers used in the attack from the Fourth's storerooms, and divulged the name of another collaborator (a seated officer with access to restricted supplies), who has also been taken into custody. Further investigations will be conducted pending said officer's questioning.

{To all members of the Fourth Division, locked to Gotei 13 officers and allies}
Today, three members of this Division have been imprisoned and removed from active duty, possibly permanently. This is due to their involvement with the assault on Ise-fukutaichou and Yadoumaru-san. I feel the need to reiterate a previous statement concerning our Division.

We are healers. As such, we must always be able to set aside our personal prejudices in order to treat patients and save lives. That isn't simply our job, it's our duty.

Those of this Division who have been identified as involved with the attack are divulging more information concerning their accomplices. If anyone else from the Fourth is implicated, they will also be removed from duty and tried. Leniency might be extended to those who turn themselves in. To those who do not, no such offer will be made.

{To all members of the Fourth Division}
I would like to take a moment to echo the statements of several of those who have already commented on the issue at hand by saying that this sort of bigotry and blind hatred is absolutely unacceptable under any circumstance. It is extremely disappointing, and I sincerely hope that no one from the Fourth is responsible for these acts of libel, vandalism, and sedition.

As the Gotei's medical relief Division, it is of the utmost importance that we remain above the influence of these feelings of hate and distrust in order to properly function in our roles as caretakers and health professionals. I have personally seen to it that all the libelous material has been removed from the Fourth's grounds. As Kira-fukutaichou mentioned, we are not attempting to deny free speech. However, this is certainly not the appropriate method or venue for expressing such sentiments.

Once again, I hope that no Fourth Division member was accomplice to these acts. Leniency has been very generously offered to those who report in by midnight tomorrow.

This has been a very long week. So much excitement, news, and changes, it's hard to keep up sometimes. I'd like to extend my congratulations once more to Ukitake-soutaichou for his promotion. I'm excited to see in what direction this administration will take the Gotei.

Orihime-san, your party was lovely. Thank you for inviting me, and I hope that you enjoy your gifts while you're away. Thanks also to my sparring partners. Itegumo thanks you as well, and says he enjoyed playing.

I've enjoyed the recent snowfall immensely. I haven't built a snowman in years. Kiyone and I I used to make snow angels all the time when I was younger. I guess seeing the world all white and sparkly makes me feel like a kid again.

The last few days have also been spent overseeing the preparations of Division supplies and paperwork for the New Year. Everyone, be careful if you're playing with fireworks, okay? Those can get dangerous.

So, I've been meaning to try this kounisshimou for a while now but just... haven't gotten around to it. I'm sorry I've been so out of touch with all of you recently, but things have been so busy. I don't suppose I could talk any of you into a friendly sparring match?

The Fourth has been a flurry of activity lately, but that isn't unusual. Around 60% of our guests are from the Eleventh Division, but that's also business as usual.
