Walking down to your room on your way from speaking with Sister Imperator, all you could do was think. Think about what she had informed you of. You were no longer the head of relations between the church and other religions. She had said that as great of a job that you did, she would be taking over now.
Being let go isn't what had your mind racing though. That would be the fact that she had appointed you as the new manager to the band. The band that helps spread the church's message, the very same one that Copia is the lead singer for. You wonder if he's aware of you becoming the new manager, and if not how he'll react when he finds out.
Having been knocked from your train of thought by bumping into something, you look up. Only to be met with one of the tallest beings you have seen in your lifetime. Which in turn is incredibly tall, considering the fact that you're a 5 '10 ghoulette. Sure, you've met your fair share of tall ghouls and humans, but this ghoul that's stood in front of you has to be at least be around 6 ' 6. Muttering a small "sorry", you pull yourself away from the tall ghoul and carry on down the basement stairs to your room.
Pausing when you hear the ghoul behind you speak. "Humans aren't allowed downstairs in the basement miss."
"Hm? Oh no I know" Leaving it at that, you continued your descent down the flight of steps. Leaving behind a slightly stunned and confused ghoul in the process.
Once you reach the end of the stairs, you realize that nothing down here has really changed. Well besides the fact that you now have a tall ghoul following behind you, for what you can only assume is out of curiosity. "Do you know where you're going? It's dangerous down here, it wouldn't do anyone good if you got hurt."
Finally it hits you and you realize this ghoul thinks you are human, can't really fault him though because you are still in your human form. Somewhat touched by the care that this ghoul is showing, you pretend to go along with it. "Uh well, sort of? I haven't been here in quite a while, so my memory is a bit dusty. Mind walking me to room 34?" Of course that was a lie, how could you forget where your room was? It's YOUR room for crying out loud. You've walked the path countless times before, and you'd know the it till the day you die.
A little confused as to why the taller ghoul hadn't responded back yet, you turn a bit to your right to be able to fully see him. Just as you were about to ask what was wrong, he replied. "You said room 34? Not like room 304?" After nodding, it was silent for a beat. "You want to go to one of the original fifty rooms? As in one of the first fifty ghouls to be pulled from hell?"
Nodding once more, whilst growing a little agitated, hell how old do they think the original fifty are? Sure you were summoned when you were a baby, but you're only 26 as of right now.
Without a word, only a barely audible sigh, the freakishly tall ghoul started walking off in the direction of your room.
The walk to your room was completely silent, nothing being said. Only the footsteps of the two ghouls were heard. Stopping in front of your room's door, the tall ghoul spoke once more. "Here we are, I can wait outside till you're done with whatever." Realizing he might sound slightly rude, he somewhat panickily corrected himself as to not. "That is if you want me to, I can walk you back up if you need as well."
Chuckling a bit at how he flustered himself so easily. You respond with a smile and a small, "sure", before you headed into the room. Stepping into your room felt as if you went through a time machine. Everything was the same, right down to the tube of paint that you forgot to close before you left. Shockingly it wasn't dusty in the room, it looks as if someone was here at least once a week or two to clean the dust away. Your guess being Copia, you know he probably came here to steal some books or get some inspiration for a song.
Walking over to your closet doors where your bags from the car were dropped, you bend down and pick them up to place them inside the closet to deal with later. As you drop the third and final bag inside on the floor, you see something draped over the chair you have sitting by the tall floor mirror. Moving closer to see what it is, you realize that it's your uniform that you chose for when you came back. Didn't think they'd have it ready this fast, but you're not going to complain. Deciding to change quickly, as the tall ghoul, who you are now realizing you don't know the name of, is still stood outside your door. With all that in mind, you hurry up.
