A/N: Thank you for taking interest in this story. Please note that this AU includes a bit of the terminology from the Tokyo Ghoul universe so I have provided quick explanations below in alphabetical order. Please let me know if there is anything that is difficult to understand.

[Terms]

CCG: Commission of Counter Ghoul. Federal agency that serves as a criminal investigative body in cases connected to ghouls.

Dismantling Show: Human victims are trapped in an arena and are killed by Scrappers for entertainment.

Kakugan: Denotes a ghoul's eye where the iris turns red and the sclera turns black. Can be activated by the ghoul's own will or unknowingly when the ghoul's excited, gets extremely hungry, or when they use their kagune. Influenced by Rc cells.

Kakuhou: Sack-like organ only present in ghouls. Stores Rc cells.

Kagune: A ghoul's predatory organ made from Rc cells, functioning as their weapons and claws. Red color. Flexible like the flow of water but still firm and sturdy. The ghoul's type depends on where their kagune sac is located.

—Bikaku: Shining Tail. Sac is located around the tailbone. No notable strengths or weaknesses. Contains balance and sense of stability.

—Koukaku: Shining Shell. Sac is located below the shoulder blade. High body sturdiness can be used to shape armor or melee weapons. Weight is difficult to handle, thus slowing down the user.

—Rinkaku: Shining Scales. Sac is located at the back of the waist. High regenerative powers and have brutal strength. Organ is brittle due to its liquid form.

—Ukaku: Shining Feathers. Sac is located around the shoulder area. High speed, suitable for short and long range attacks. Users run out of stamina quickly.

Rc cells: "Red Child" cells, name stemming from the fact that the cells look like curled up fetuses. Exist in both humans and ghouls, ghouls having a much higher quantity of them due to their internal structure. Ghouls need to consume these to survive.

Scrapper: Person trained to kill victims in the Ghoul Restaurant, usually human.

Quinque: A weapon created from a ghoul's kakuhou. The type depends on the original ghoul's kagune. Only Second Class investigators and up can own them, transporting them in bags or suitcases.

A/N: I've provided this as something to imagine throughout the fanfic. The characters are all adults and therefore are not dressed in the Otonokizaka uniforms.

[Clothing]

Eli: Mostly formal clothing. Navy blue suit with white shirt, electric blue tie. Sometimes wears white coat over her clothes like the other CCG members. When at home, she wears grey sweatpants and a sweatshirt. When going out, she wears a mess of flannel. It's hideous but she loves it. (See: Nanjolno's horrid fashion) Wears a low ponytail because she's too busy to tie it tighter.

Hanayo: Casual cute clothing. Example: beanie, large shirt, and shorts with matching boots and cute socks. Things that look nice and are easy to wear. (See: Shikaco's fashion)

Honoka: Often seen in Au Soleil uniform. When not working, she wears comfortable and warm clothing (See: Emitsun's fashion). Scrapper uniform consists of black and red chef clothing, matching with Umi.
—Au Soleil uniform: White button up shirt with rolled up sleeves, checkerboard-like pattern on collar with orange ribbon loosely tied around the neck. Suspenders to hold up her brown trousers. Waist apron with pockets for her iPad mini that she uses to take orders. Orange Converse ankle shoes. A sun clip is on her left suspender strap.

Kotori: Often seen in Au Soleil uniform. When not working, she wears a pink floral dress with a light grey blazer (See: March Ver Kotori). Ghoul Restaurant attire consists of a Victorian dress. (See: Transformed Ball Ver Kotori)
—Au Soleil uniform: White button up shirt with a black vest over it, a red ribbon tied around the checkerboard-like collar. Black trousers. Waist apron but her pockets are usually empty.

Maki: When in the Ghoul Restaurant, she wears an extravagant royalty outfit. See: Transformed Magician Ver Maki. She doesn't really care about what she's wearing. (See: Pile's fashion)

Nozomi: Formal clothing just to match Eli. Would rather wear something more comfortable (like nothing at all). Charcoal suit with a violet polka dot patterned tie. Sometimes wears a white coat with Eli or whenever she goes to scout for ghouls. Wears a nightgown at home, a variety of dresses ranging from all kinds of colors in public. (See: Kussun's fashion) When working, she wears a loose ponytail.

Nico: Track jacket with white torso and black sleeves, resembling a panda. Pink bunny design on back. Black track shorts. Eventually changes to a pink blouse, black blazer and trousers to match Nozomi and Eli. Clothes are loose because Nozomi couldn't find a smaller size. Also wears glasses and leaves her hair down for a slight disguise.

Rin: Simple cute clothes that Hanayo buys for her (See: Rippi's fashion). Wears a red jersey when going out for runs.

Umi: Often seen in Au Soleil uniform. Wears whatever Kotori wants her to (See: Mimorin's fashion). Scrapper uniform consists of black and blue chef clothing, matching with Honoka.
