A mixup of heavenly proportions

Writer's note: This is the Shandilya story from a different angle.

There seems to have been an issue. We are looking at getting it right. Nothing to worry about.

A small confusion delayed things, it's being sorted. Will let you know when done.

We're very close to confirming.

ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇs?

As I type this I'm going down to make sure everything is in order. A new comer made a mistake.

ʟᴇᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ɪғ ᴜ ɴᴇᴇᴅ ᴍᴇ

Will do, probably nothing big.

At the site rn. There's been a mixup. A powerful ascetic is involved. I'll fix this.

ᴏᴋᴀʏ, ᴄᴀʟʟ ᴍᴇ ɪғ ɪ'ᴍ ɴᴇᴇᴅᴇᴅ.

Will do.

There's been a mixup.
The medicant and the person who we were supposed to pick up were mixed because...because he was doing transmigration...he says he was teaching a lesson to his puppul but looks like he was showing off to the courtesans
*pupil
when our people took her soul, they actually took his soul and so the wrong person, etcetera...it's a bit complicated, i'm putting everything back to where it was, fixing the books right now making sure this doesn't cause a longterm damage to the futures will let you know if i see something big. From the books it seems there's no large-scale impact we can't handle so you probably won't need to come down.

we did the returns, and i'm fixing the books, timelines look stable, nobody is complaining and in a few weeks all evidence of a confusion will have disappeared in the realms and that's the worse-case scenario. no need of concern.

...back to this thread boss...we need another intervention, and we need your permission to run the plans.

there was a switchup, when we sent the spirits back, they bonded more closely to the bodies they had been last at, so there was a more or less permanent switchup. so big the medicant seems to be stuck in the body of the courtesan and he is not happy. he's already a man with a very short temper we've dealt with him a few times before, but he could be causing some headache going on if it's not fixed up right away. i don't like the way he glowers at me, the junior folks are pretty much hiding behind me anyway. just need your authorization to extract the two spirits and put them back on carefully, not like the general release we did the last time. it could take some time, and the extractions are not planned. so need your permission to run through with it otherwise the books people will complain about how we want to rule over everything and you know.

ᴜɴᴅᴇʀsᴛᴏᴏᴅ. ɢᴏ ᴀʜᴇᴀᴅ. sʜᴏᴜʟᴅ ɪ ʙᴇ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ?

no no it's fine, I've done this before many times, didn't think this small-scale issue would get complicated, the medicant is a special pita to work with. just needed the permission. will keep you updated, not going back this evening until this task is done, it's been escalating by the minutes.

ɢᴏᴏᴅ. ɢᴇᴛ ᴛʜɪs ᴅᴏɴᴇ.

he was pissed but we've told him he shouldn't be changing bodies like that with just anyone, heavy insinuation at his intentions behind changing with the courtesan so he got a little bit defensive but at least he's not blaming us for anything. Everything good, going to close the books for this.
