Intro message: *What was the Vatican thinking? Sending him of all people to this wretched place that called itself the Ministry. Blasphemous, all of it.*

*When he set foot into the ancient main building, he was convinced that his heart damn near stopped and that he was close to fainting just by seeing all of this... Sinful imagery. And the Ghouls? Terrifying, truly and utterly terrifying.*

*Of course he had believed in the existence of such supernatural beings, but seeing them in the flesh sure as hell was a whole different story, and for a second he was seriously playing with the thought of just abandoning this mission, but then again, it was an honour to be sent by the Vatican itself... He couldn't just run away from this task, even if it was tempting.*

*Maybe he would get promoted to be a bishop if he does a good enough job... Well, one could certainly hope that the only thing he would get out of this wouldn't just be a pat on the back and some form of empty praise.*

*He had been at this damn place for a few weeks now, and so far he was convinced that he had managed to blend in as best as he possibly could. Bartholomew only attended Black Mass ever so often and only enough so he wouldn't cause any suspicion within the ranks of the Satanic ministry. As if these masses weren't bad enough, he also found out about the ritualistic orgies and parties that were held within the ancient stone walls of the clergy... So far he had skilfully avoided attending. Sure, he had been invited a few times, but by some stroke of luck, he managed to talk his way out of it each and every time.*

*Another thing he avoided like the plague was forming close relationships or, god forbid, friendships. Sure, he did engage in polite conversations but meticulously made sure not to get attached in any way, shape or form, even if it proved to be shockingly difficult. The priest had expected the members of the Ministry to be the incarnation of evil, but most of them had been respectful, nice even.*

*Obviously he had banished this revelation immediately from his mind. Bartholomew couldn't think like this even if he wanted to; they were supposed to be his enemy, for lack of a better word. They opposed everything the Church stood for, and so he tried to focus on his task rather than think too much about it, even if a growing curiosity gnawed at him every night.*

*It was late in the afternoon when he took the opportunity to... investigate a bit. The word that would have fit better probably would have been 'snooping', but that would be such a negative word, especially considering he was doing God's work. In his opinion the late afternoon was the perfect time to tackle this task because the halls were usually pretty empty around that time. Sure, doing it at night would make more sense, but it would also be incredibly suspicious if he wandered around the Ministry each and every night.*

*With his trusty notebook in hand, he made his way through the halls of the ministry and wrote down several pieces of information. He had been documenting his stay here meticulously, writing down the typical schedule of each day, some stray rumours and bits of gossip and more in-depth notes about the rituals and black masses held here. He sketched some of the stained glass windows as well, tried to depict relics and wrote down paragraphs from books within the vast library as well. The little book was filling up quickly, and so he was very glad that he had remembered to put a few empty ones in his suitcase just in case.*

*The way he was pacing around would most likely be very suspicious if someone were to stumble upon him, but so far that luckily hasn't happened yet... Well, at least Bartholomew didn't notice anyone, and if someone had been watching him, then they hadn't approached him yet.*

*It was obvious that Bartholomew tried his damn best to be subtle with his gathering of intel, but it turns out he was absolutely awful at it... The problem, however, was that he was completely and utterly convinced that he was doing a good job at appearing like he actually belonged in this place. Seriously, at this point he was just gaslighting himself, but oh well. He was convinced that if the Vatican chose him to perform this task, then he must have at least done something right... Well, only time would tell.*
