Episode 1-Epilogue(4): Getting Ready For The Meeting
Later at the ramshackle dorm, Glory is in her room checking herself in the mirror.
****Glory's Outfit^****
"Hmmm..." Glory hums while standing next to the mirror where she is wearing a short maroon dress as swirls around with her skirts flutters a little.
"Wow, you look great Glory!" The skinny ghost Hendrix compliments making her giggle as she turns to the three ghosts while stroking her head.
"Really? I-It doesn't look weird on me, right?" Glory asks curiously.
"Weird? What are you saying? You look like a goddess!" The chubby ghost Chauncey reassures.
"An alluring goddess you mean!' Langston corrects him.
"Hehe thanks." Glory smiles softly while stroking her head. Soon the door open where they all turn to see Grim entering the room.
"Hey are you do- Whoa! You look great!" Grim shrills and Glory smiles.
"Thanks Grim." Glory replies. Then she grabs her bag next to her and flips her hair.
"Welp, let's go Grim. We're dropping you off to the infirmary." She assures.
"Yeah, I know." He replies.
"Have fun with your boyfriend!" The chubby ghost exclaims.
Just before they leave, Glory immediately pause and widen her eyes before she spins her head to the three ghost with a blank look.
"He's not my boyfriend." She flat out corrects them.
"Awww our goddess is embarrassed!" Langston teases.
"So adorable!" Chauncey coos making her sigh and place her hands to her hips.
"Guys, Riddle and I are just friends." Glory reassures them.
"Mmm Hmm." The three ghosts sassily hums.
"Sure you do, Glory." Grim sarcastically agrees.
"Shut up Grim!" Glory retorts and the three ghosts laugh. Soon Chauncey float towards her dresser where he grabs her makeup set.
"Wha-! Hey!" Glory yells when she saw him rummaging her makeup kit smearing red lipstick on his lips and brushing his eyes with her grey eyeshadow. Afterwards, he floats towards his ghost buddies where they all died when the chubby ghost put makeup on to make himself look like Glory. This had Grim in tears as he is rolling on the floor laughing. However, this does not pleased Glory one bit as her brows twitch with irritation.
***This is my drawing of the ghosts making fun of Glory^***
"You guys...."
"Oooo I'm Gloriane Corbett! Not only I have unlocked the magic to control light and heal things with my song, but I also heal people with a true love's kiss!" The chubby ghost mimics making the ghosts laugh and soon the stubby ghost plays along where he grabs a rolled up paper on the ground near the trash bin. He soon shapes it into a crown and place it on his head as he pretends to be Riddle.
"Aah~ Gloriane! You've woo me with such radiance and kind heart! Why won't we kiss one more time?" Langston asks mimicking Riddle.
"Ooo Riddle!~" Chauncey swoons while mimicking Glory as both of them make kiss noises while the skinny ghost and Grim are cackling their heads off.
"Ahahaha! I cant breathe! Haha haha!" The skinny ghost Hendrix laughs.
"Pffft so accurate! Ahahahaha!!!" Grim cackles while flailing his arms and legs to the floor.
"Don't call it a 'true love's kiss' and that's not even close to what happened yesterday!" Glory corrects them while a red vein throbs from her head getting agitated with the ghosts' teasing.
"Oh yeah? Then what about this 'Rook Hunt' person that you'd texted three days ago?" The skinny ghost asks curiously with a snicker.
"Annnnnnnnd we're leaving. Let's go, Grim." Glory bluntly said as she grabs him by the collar gasping him.
"Ack! Alright, I know! Put me down already!" He complains but Glory didn't bother and left the room leaving the mischievous ghosts snickering at Glory as they watched them leave. Afterwards, they stroll their way back to Night Raven so Glory could drop Grim to the infirmary.
————————
"Jesus, these ghosts I swear..." She grumbles while strolling through the halls.
"Well what can you expect them? They're a pain in the asses." Grim assures who is clinging on to his shoulder.
"They're a pain in the asses at times when they love to tease me, but they're not that bad." Glory points out.
"So are you and Riddle are a couple now?" Grim asks and Glory stops to turn her head with a blank stare looking at him like he's stupid.
"We're just friends, Grim. I mean..we did kissed yesterday, but it wasn't like that. I was trying to get him to stop overbloting with magic based on negative energy." Glory reassures.
"What about Rook?" Grim asks curiously.
"Again, we're just friends and we've known each for a few days now." Glory reassures again.
"Mmmm ya sure?" Grim asks with a smirk.
"Grim." Glory grumbles clenching her fists to show him that she's not joking around. Grim flinch and his fur sticks up.
"Ok, I'm kidding!" Grim submits as Glory lets out a huff and continue walking.
"Speaking of which, how was Rook? Did you talk to him this morning?" Grim asks.
"We did talked, but it was a short time because he had errands." Glory told him.
"Being Vice dorm sounds exhausting." Grim remarks.
"Sounds like it, but hey it's good to work hard." Glory assures.
"Meh, no thanks. I rather sleep than work." Grim bluntly states. Glory smirks and covers her mouth while playfully smirking her grey creature buddy.
"Oh? Does that mean the Great Grim will give up if can't handle the pressure? How pitiful~." She teases making him flinch.
"Hell no! I never give up! I'll work hard to become the best magician in the world! You'll see it!" Grim proclaims; in which she roll her eyes while side grinning.
"Whatever you say, Grim." She replies with a side grin as she strolls to the infirmary. Once she dropped Grim off to the infirmary, Glory starts heading straight to Heartslabyul.
"Now that Grim's in Merlin's place, now it's time for me to bounce." She mutters while strolling. Suddenly, Glory bump into someone where she flinch and couldn't believe her eyes. She froze when she recognize those hyena ears from yesterday.
Oh crap! It's the guy with the hyena ears! Che'nya warned about Savanaclaw and he's a member of the dorm. I gotta stay calm.
Glory thought.
"Sorry about that, you ok?" She asks curiously.
"Aah geez...hm?" He soon looks up and widen his grey eyes when he notice and recognize the mysterious reincarnation of Mother Gothel from the botanical garden.
"You're that girl from yesterday." He mutters. Glory giggles softly and strokes her head
"Yup, that's me. You're from Savanaclaw, right? I'm Gloriane Corbett, but most friends call me Glory, Glor, or Glo for short. You can call me whatever you like." She introduces. Ruggie grins and grabs her hand where she pulls him back up.
"Thanks, I'm Ruggie Bucchi. I saw you at the botanical garden yesterday with Leona. He didn't give you any trouble, did he?" He asks curiously making her sigh.
"Yeah, but it wasn't on purpose. I accidentally stepped on his tail because I didn't noticed. I apologized, but he was pretty rude to me." She told him causing him to let out a sigh.
"Not surprised. That's typical of Leona, he's quite lethargic and grouchy when he gets woken up or whenever he's in a bad mood. Jeez, he's spends most of his time sleeping while pushing his responsibilities on me." He grumbles. Glory scratches her right cheek averting her eyes awkwardly.
"...Sorry about that." She apologizes and he shakes his head.
"Nah it's fine, that's how our dorm leader is. But don't worry, he won't harm a girl like you. Besides, he was taught how to respect women, so you'll be fine." He reassures.
That's what Che'nya told me before....
Glory thought.
"And from what I've seen, you look like an angel and you smell pretty sweet." Ruggie compliments making her curl her brow.
"Sweet?" Glory asks looking confused.
"Hyenas have keen sense of smell, we even smell scents from afar too." He explains as she nods finally understands.
"Gotcha." She replies with a thumbs up.
"Yup. Though, I don't really get what people are yapping about. Sure you look like her, but you don't actually look that threatening." Ruggie points out making her sigh.
"No I am not, and it's freaking annoying how people perceive me as the next Gothel. Every time I walk into school, they either fled away or keep their distance from me. Like 'bitch, are you blind? I'm not gonna lock you up'." Glory dryly remarks with a bit of an agitated look.
"Naah, I don't blame you. Besides, you're not the only one. People in Night Raven are afraid of Malleus because of his appearance and not gonna lie, he does looks pretty intimidating, but I don't care. Cuz, we're gonna win this year's Magift Tournament."
"Eh? You never won before?" Glory asks curiously.
"No, last year we lost to Diasomnia and let me tell ya, it ain't pretty. Diasomnia's dorm leader, Malleus, is quite a beast, but this time we won't lose." Ruggie points out.
"So what's Magift?" Glory asks curiously.
"Huh? Haven't you- oh wait, I forgot you're not from this world. *sighs* Fine, I'll tell ya. Magical Shift aka Magift is a sport with played in two teams of seven. Basically, you have to throw a disk through the other team's goals to score a point and the team with the most points wins." Ruggie explains.
"Aah so it's like American football, Gotcha." Glory understood, but Ruggie tilts his head.
"American Football? The hell's that?" He asks curiously.
"Football is a sport and it's just like what you said except your throw the oval shape ball to the goal. I never played football before, but I have seen it from my boyfriend." Glory informs.
"Boyfriend?" Ruggie asks in a bit of a skeptical tone making her giggle nervously.
"Yeah, but...we're no longer dating." Glory told him awkwardly, but he wasn't fazed. Instead, he shrugs off and smiles nonchalantly as he lightly nudge her in the rib due to his short stature.
"Chin up, you'll find someone soon." Ruggie reassures as he glance up at her flashing her with a wink making her giggle and fold her arms.
"Maybe, who knows. Maybe I'll find my special someone here." She jokes making him chuckle.
"Yeah. Also, where are you going in that dress?" Ruggie asks curiously.
"I have a meeting with the dorm leaders today." Glory told him.
"Aah yeah, I get it. Leona's attending there, so you better prepare when you see him again."
"Oh yippee. Welp, I'd better get going then. See you Ruggie." Glory says as he forms a side grin.
"See you later, Kitten." Ruggie playfully says as he salutes with a cross piece sign and walks off with a cheeky grin. Glory rolls her eyes and side smiles.
"Will do, Hyena." Glory teases as Ruggie let's out a soft chuckle while passing by. Once he left, Glory sighs and smiles.
"Welp, better meet up with Riddle." Glory mutter as she heads off to Heartslabyul dorm to meet up with Riddle.
——————————————
Meanwhile at the Heartslabyul dorm, Glory arrives where they immediately spot Cater and her two friends painting roses.
"Hey guys!" Glory greets as she approaches them.
"Angel-chan! You look cute!" Cater compliments making her giggle.
"Thanks, Cay." She replies. Soon Deuce and Ace came to Cater with pails in their hands.
"Cater-senpai, I- Whoa! Glory-san, you look-"
"HOT!" Ace shrills cutting Deuce off making her laugh and shaking her head.
"Stop you guys, I'm not that hot."
"Yes you are! You look like a goddess!" Cater reassures.
"Aah geez..." Glory sighs.
"They're not wrong you know."
Soon Glory leans over Ace and Deuce to see Trey approaching them with a pan of cherry pie.
"Alright! Cherry pie!" Ace cheers. Trey chortles softly.
"Just like you requested. Also, you look amazing Gloriane-san." Trey compliments making Glory stroking her head and giggle softly.
"It's nothing special or flashy. I was just wanna look nice and appropriate for the meeting." Glory assures.
"Which is exactly what you should do when attending important matters."
Suddenly we heard a stern voice as Trey glance down and Glory peers behind him to see Riddle standing behind Trey, who scoots to left when he sees him.
"Good afternoon Riddle, I seen you've finished your paperwork?" Trey asks with Riddle letting out a huff and fold his arms.
"You've known me well, Trey. Rule #31 from the Queen of Hearts: 'One must complete his paperwork before attending meetings'." Riddle sternly instructs making Ace sighs.
"He's still at it with his rules..." Ace sighs.
"Let it go, Ace." Deuce ceases shaking his head.
"Hehe. He's the strict Riddle-kun we all know and loved!" Cater cheerily exclaims.
"Hmph, you must be wise to watch your tongue there Cater." Riddle jokes.
"Oh come on, I was just trying to lighten up a bit." He chuckles softly. Glory rolls her eyes with a side grin.
Riddle will always be Riddle.
She thought. Then Riddle turns his head to Glory, who smiles genuinely and grabs her hand to kiss the top.
"You look lovely, Bunny." He compliments causing Glory's face to flush a bit, but smiles.
"Thank you, Riddle-kun." Glory replies. Riddle smiles back and keeps holding her hand.
"Shall we?" He asks and she nods. Then she turns to her friends.
"See you guys later." Glory waves.
"Bye Angel-chan!" Cater waves back.
"Good luck with the meeting Glory-san!" Deuce encourages.
"Try not to break a leg, supervisor!" Ace jokes.
"No pressure, alright?" Trey reassures as Glory waves back to them.
"Thanks, I will!" Glory shouts as she turns back and strolls with Riddle where they attend to the meeting at the Mirror of Chambers together.
