The four walk through the empty halls of the clergy towards the dressing room with the new Ghoul stumbling a few times. It seems to be mid day since there is a bright light outside that shines through the big windows and lights up the corridor.

Where the fuck is everyone..

The new Ghoul throughout to himself while lookig at his surroundings. The corridors are long with cold stone floors and walls. A few big windows, with one or two being beautiful stained glass that give a more lively glow to the empty and looking corridor, are on one side and on the other are wooden doors every 10 meters or so.

"The corridors are not always this empty, dont get used to the silence."

Aether's voice seems to snap the Ghoul out of his thoughts and look over at the other.

"No? Where is everyone?"

He asks while eying the Quintessence-ghoul, now that he can see the other Ghoul better in the sunlight.

"We have a safety precaution whenever we summon a new Ghoul. Nobody walks through these corridors at the day of a summoning. And you will not see any of the others until we are sure you won't lash out and attack anyone."

The Cardinal, who did a little run to get to the two Ghouls, explains before stopping at the door of the dressing room and opening it for Sister Imperator, followed by a small bow of his head.

"You will get to know everyone once we are certain. Which could take a while, giving your unclaimed state"

Aether says while taking the door, so the Cardinal can slip into the room and then signs for the newly summoned Ghoul to step in. The newbie steps into the room, closely followed by Aether, who closes the door behind him, and imidiatly looks around.

The room is not that big. It has woden floors and stone walls, a counter on the left upper corner, which separates a part of the room from the main room. At one side of the wall behind the counter is a wooden door in the back, leading to another room. On the right side are a few chairs and straight ahead is another wooden door. A bit of muffled noise is heared from behind the closed door that is licated behind the counter.

Seems like I am going to meet another Ghoul or a Ghoullett soon anyway.

The new Ghoul thinks when his ears pick up the sound. But his thoughts soon get interrupted by Sister, who starts to speak.

"There will be someone taking your measurements so we can get you a fitting uniform. After the measurements have been taken, there is a bathroom behind the door straightforward. You will get your uniform and go there, take a shower, and come back out in the uniform. Got it?"

She asks while giving the taller Ghoul a glare who answers with a nod.

"Cristal clear."

Soon after, the door opens, and a small Ghoul stumbles out of the room before freezing as his eyes land on the new Ghoul who stands between Aether and Copia. The Ghoul is smaller than the other two Ghouls, as well as Copia and Sister Imperator. He has a different mask as well. It looks like the one Aether and the Newbie are wearing, but this one is more matt and has its mouth closed, as well as the horns being a bit bigger.

"Oh- hello? I didn't think you would come here today since it took you so long.."

The small Ghoul says while leaning against the counter and eying the new Ghoul.

"I know we are. But someone couldn't get the summoning to work,"

Sister Imperator starts before giving a glare to Copia before looking over at the new Ghoul.

"And now we have this on our hands. And we need clothes for it."

The small Ghoul nods and walks around the counter with a measuring tape and over to the others, not taking his eyes off the tallest Ghoul.

"Hello, I am Pebble, I was the former Earth-ghoul of Papa Emeritus III or Terzo. And you are?"

"I haven't had a name given yet."

The Ghoul answeres while watching Pebble start to measure his body and write them down in a notebook.

"This is not your first time topsides, is it?"

The shorter Ghoul asks after a while as he looks up at the other who only responds with a shrug.

"You mind telling what element you are so I can give you a fitting uniform?"

"Why don't you guess?"

The Ghoul replies while grinning at Pebble and wiggling his eyebrows and a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Put it in a Fire-ghoul uniform. It has used fire before, so that should be right."

Sister instructed the shorter Ghoul before he could say more. The Earth-ghoul nods and takes his notebook and measuring tape before walking behind the counter.

"I will get the clothes."

He states before walking into the room behind the counter.

"So, when will I be able to meet my pack? Or am I the first one?"

The new Ghoul asks after stepping out of the bathroom, now cleaned up and wearing the uniform that was given to him by Pebble to see that only Aether and Copia were in the room waiting for him.

"No, you're the last one, actually.. and you can't go meet the others yet.."

The Cardinal answers while looking at the new Ghoul.

"Well, you have met one yet, Aether here.. and my name is Copia, i'm a Cardinal in the clergy, and future Papa Emeritus IV."

These news seem to peak the new Ghoul's interest. His eyes focus on Copia, and he tilts his head to the side.

"Oh, I have big faith in that you will succeed in becoming Papa IV."

He says while his voice holds a teasing and slightly taunting tone before he shifts his gaze to Aether, who hasn't let the taller Ghoul out of his eyes the entire time.

"And you must be Aether, it's great to meet a member of my new packt already. and a quite handsome one on top of that."

The new Ghoul says while that shit eating grin sneaks onto his lips again and winks at the Quintessence-ghoul who lets out a low growl in response, which doesn't seem to get a reaction from the other Ghoul.

"I would like to ask some questions that I want straightforward answers to."

Copia instructed the taller Ghoul in a more stern and colder voice, seemingly getting slightly annoyed by him avoiding certain questions or answering with a question himself.

"Oh, darling, i'm afraid that will be a bit complicated for me to give a straight forward answer."

The Ghoul jokes with a cheeky smirk on his lips as he looks over at the Cardinal again, who just looks at him with a dradan expression.

"Just answers the questions."

"Okay, fine. I will answer your questions."

He agrees with a sigh before slimping down in one of the chairs along the right wall of the room and looking at both Copia and Aether before tilting his head waiting.

"Good. Now. What are you."
