A Ministry Romance (Discontinued until further notice)

A New Job

(The photo above is you on the left, and Aether on the right). You walked down the stone hallway, eventually reaching your room. The sound of your footsteps echoed. Since it was nighttime, the sisters of sin and the ghouls were asleep. You were not like them. Being half ghoul and half human was an odd experience. You always had to explain how you had came to be. Your father was an older ghoul, and had a ghoul wife with whom he had his son Aether. But at one point, he cheated on that wife with a human, creating you. Your skin was almost grey, since it was so pale. You had short, black horns like most ghouls and a black devil-like tail. Your face was more human though, only having scarlet eyes similar to those of a ghoul. You were lucky you didn't have sharp fangs like a ghoul, since not having them meant you could wear your mask less. Your mask was a ghoul mask, despite being a woman. There weren't any ghoulette masks left in storage when you were old enough to wear one. You eventually sat down in your room on the bed, and began thinking about your childhood. You had been raised alongside the ghouls, but had always been treated a bit more harshly. The ghouls were good friends of yours though, especially your half brother Aether. Terzo, the current Papa treated you like the other ghouls, which you appreciated. You weren't one of the performing ghouls like Aether, but you still interacted with Papa a lot. (I apologize for all this background stuff I know it's boring). Your room had beige drywall, a small wooden desk and mirror, and a bed. It was a basic ghoul room. Eventually, you laid down and went to sleep.

You woke up in the morning to a knock on your door. "One moment!" You said quickly. You rushed over to your desk, putting on your uniform and mask. You opened the door to see.. someone new. He wore the usual red cassock and black face paint of a Cardinal. He had a small light brown mustache, which matched his slicked back hair, neatly covered by his red biretta. "Sorry to interrupt. I am the transferred Cardinal that Sister was talking about yesterday. My name is Cardinal Copia. I was given the ability to choose a ghoul for my assistant. I chose at random, so that's why I'm here, if you'll be my assistant." He said nervously. You looked at him for a moment, and said "I mean, I'm pretty much required to so.. alright?" You were quite surprised at this sudden offer, but went along with it anyways. You walked with him to his office, and he sat down in his desk chair. You sat down in the chair on the other side, waiting for him to speak. "Tell me a bit about yourself. I chose at random, so I don't know much." He laughed slightly. "My name is Constellation, but most everyone calls me Con. I am only half ghoul. My other half is human. I don't wear my mask often. I'm not sure what more to say." You blurted out your usual response to this question, still weirded out by this new job. "Interesting. Well, first things first, I have lots of transfer paperwork to get through, so you may go back to what you were formerly doing. Second, feel free to take off your mask when in here." He said. You nodded, and walked out. Whilst in the crowded hallway, you took off your mask, revealing your medium, wavy, brown hair. (Rest of the description is up to the reader)
