Chapter List - Here!
Additional Notes Below!
~~~~~~
Chapter Cover
This time we have a lot of details in this cover photo. We have the autopsy scars running across Secondo's chest, there's Omega and Alpha glamoured in the background, showcasing of Adriana and Carmela in red yes yes all good stuff... But we also have Secondo holding a Red Reverse Uno card to symbolize revenge. 🔥 Also! On the cover of Chapter 2: My Brothers, you can see Secondo holding that same card in his hand!! 🤯 🤯
Terzo and Omega
There already seemed to be... ah... SOMETHING between them already during their first meeting. 😏 Terzo's already fantasizing over the giant Ghoul (he wasn't referring to how big his fingers were by where he was looking btw... 👀) And once Omega laid his eyes on Terzo it was hard for him to look away! Even Terzo hearing Omega say his name for the first time sent a shiver up his spine! Ahh... do you guys believe of love at first sight? 🥰
The Mortician's Practice
From what we know his business, it's ran out of a shitty little building in the middle of nowhere and he travels to the clergy whenever he's called in to prepare a body. This man is very unprofessional and sick. And even bothers to keep a shotgun by his front door. But why? 🤔 But who exactly does he work for? ...Himself... He picks up sketchy jobs and doesn't care the too much of how or why.
For example, the body he was prepping here... We'll name him Corey the Corpse. You can see poor Corey got his neck sliced open on the side in one shot. Corey was involved in a gang and ultimately met his demise during an ambush... The mortician doesn't care to ask the party who brought in the body if they reported his murder to the police. Everything is off the books and under the table... as long as the mortician gets his pay and has some fun, he doesn't care.... MAKE HIM SUFFER, BOYS!!! 🙌
Why Did the Ghouls Glamour?
The mortician HAS seen Alpha and Omega before... in their Ghoul forms only though... Omega, as mentioned before in Chapter 6: Glass, has spoken to the mortician before. And then in Chapter 15: Role of Big Brother, Alpha states that him and Omega just saw the mortician because he has also prepped Sister's body! So for the element of surprise and confusion, the Ghouls Glamoured theirselves to buy Secondo enough time to find his way into the building then sneak up behind the mortician to disarm him before he could fight back in any way.

Trying a new thing with the images, and doing a different one per chapter like I did with Messing With The Missionary Man. I had one image for this, but wondering if it maybe just looks too much like the same old post instead of new ones?
Nihil caught the boys trying to plan a prank in the middle of black mass... Needless to say, they each had different reactions to the lecture that followed the service.

Reader x young Primo
"Okay, we have to move this set to the dock and those guitar cases-." You directed the ghouls were helping you move the equipment seeing that you weren't feeling 100% that day, as hard as you tried to hide it from Primo he caught wind of your condition and insisted that the ghouls help the Emeritus not taking no for an answer. At the moment you were sort of glad that he did instruct the ghouls to help, you were sweating like crazy and hadn't even moved anything.
You felt a poke to your shoulder making you almost jump out of your skin, it was one of the ghoulettes who seemed as equally startled. In her hand was a cup of water which was held out to you.
"You looked like you needed some."
"You read my mind." You attempted a chuckle but it sounded more like a cat losing its shit, accepting the water and sipping it down it felt so refreshing, so nice on your poor hot scratchy throat. Another hour passed by and you were almost finished thank sweet Lucifer to as your vision was getting a little fuzzy, but of course, you didn't say anything a ghoul was talking to you, you knew the words he was saying but your mind couldn't quite comprehend them.
"Hey, you okay?."
"Yeah yeah I'm-." the next thing you knew is that you hit the ground, the scuffle of feet around you the frantic voices, the last face you saw was a distraught-looking Primo calling your name then-, darkness.
You stirred slowly blinking awake you were in the infirmary tucked in surrounded by flowers, stuffed animals, and 'get well' Balloons you looked around until you saw Primo. He was asleep in the chair beside your bed arms crossed and feet up on a separate chair, with his hair having a few greys he looked like an old man sitting there asleep. You jumped a little hearing the door a young Secondo, entering with hands held up and index finger moving to his lips before continuing, stopping to take a seat on the edge of your bed since Primo's feet currently occupied the other chair.
"How are you feeling Sorella?." He whispered
"I'm-".
"Shh!."
"Sorry." You whispered. "I'm feeling much better, what happened?."
Secondo arched a brow looking at you as if you'd gone crazy. "You passed out in the band room while moving stuff around."
"Is that all?." You were about to get mad at yourself for being weak but Primo's little brother continued. "That was four days ago sister- he hasn't left your side." Secondo nodded toward his older brother whose head had fallen back, mouth a gape his dark mitre falling from his head and landing on the floor, you could feel a warmth build up on your face.
"That's- very sweet of him." A smile rested on your lips your eyes lingering on the sleeping form of Papa Emeritus l, jumping again you heard the youth chuckle. "Oooo I think someone's got a crush." That blush on your face grew darker about to scold the young boy. "That's okay though, 'cause he likes you too he sometimes whispers your name in his sleep." With that, the young Secondo took off out of the room your attention going back to your now not-so-secret admirer.
