#Saucer’s horns used to shed a lot

What about the ghouls (and/or Special) having fun trying on Copia's clothes until Copia walks in?

Special’s in his mostly human guise. He likes to keep his horns and tail present, though. Seems to make his siblings feel better. His siblings, the band ghouls, are gathered for their usual “human behaviour rehearsal.” Special’s taught them to raise their hands to ask questions, and at every rehearsal their hands are constantly up.

“Clothes,” Earth says carefully, focusing their telepathic speech to resonate through their shapeshifted mouth. “Why are they?”

Special cocks his head to the side. He’s glamoured himself to appear to be wearing a tight tanktop and skinny jeans (an illusion of an outfit that makes Copia’s face turn bright red). “I mean, uh, I just am used to creating this...”

Earth shakes their head. “Not yours. Copia’s.” Water nods and adds “Many clothes, not shapeshifter.”

Special snaps his fingers. “Oh, his costume changes? He just likes to be flashy, y’know? And everyone loves his ass.”

“Can we try?”

The taller Air ghoul speaks up. “I have wanted...” they gesture to their horns. “Hat. Can we try hat?”

Special grins.

The ghouls are in their entire human guises, appearing as a group of mask wearers decked in black. Special carefully removes the stage costumes from the closet and starts handing out the pieces. “Humans usually wear layers of cloths and stuff to be warm. If they get warm, they shed the cloths. Some humans spend an absurd amount of money on these things, because of who makes them ot what they’re made of. Clothes is weird. We should be glad we don’t need it.”

The taller Air ghoul places Copia’s fedora on their head and grins. “I have hat!”

The smaller Air ghoul wraps Copia’s black sash around their waist. “Not hat” they declare.

Aether and Earth put on Copia’s black and red birettas. “Hats!” they cried.

Fire tries on Copia’s gloves. “Special, it is not all of the clothes that is hat, yes?” 

Special is helping Water into Copia’s black jacket as he answers, “no, no, there are lots of names for these things. Seems y’all like headwear, though, huh?”

Fire and the Ghoul known as “Swiss Army” (actually another Water ghoul) drape Copia’s traditional cardinal robes about their shoulders, attempting to copy the garment Special’s got on his shoulders- the new cape.

“Am I interrupting something?”

The ghouls startle and immediately disrobe, piling the costumes in Soecial’s arms and scurrying out into the hall before the Cardinal can bring down any wrath upon them.

Copia saunters in to the room and looks at Special. He still looks like a horned and tailed human, eyes wide as saucers, thin arms full of clothing and hats.

“... You’re going to hange these back up before they wrinkle, yes?”

Special nods quickly. “Cope I’m sorry they just get so interested in stuff and who am I to deny their curiousity and-”

Copia presses a finger to his ghoulfriend’s lips. “Easy, dearest. We’ll invest in some, eh, less expensive, not tailored to my body type clothes for them to try on.”

“And hats.”

“...”

“They really like hats!”
