[someone stumbles up onto the castle grounds, into the garden, covered with dirt and looking a bit worse for wear. not that she's ever... not... looking worse for wear, but hey.
she's really tired, but when she notices that there's a giant castle in front of her, she straightens right up in surprise and confusion.]

[she tries to think. she's seen so much forest lately and frequently suffers from hallucinations, so it's hard to remember when weird things really happen.]
I don't remember very much else being strange. I'd meant to go out, I think, and... see if there were other places besides here. But I guess I went in a big circle on accident.

You never know! Sometimes the most simple things in life are the most complex, yet we just don't have enough comprehension to think about them that much.

You know how there's an almighty benevolent God who looks over mankind and forgives their sins? Me and my brothers, we work for him, spreading His Word across the land and making sure human beings receive everything as they deserve to.

... Which God is that?

You know, the one and only God. ...Unless you don't have one?

I just thought ... There's only one where you come from? That does everything?
[well, this moves him down from crazy to vaguely eccentric!]

Yes, of course! He is almighty and powerful. He can do whatever He wishes to do. Me and my brothers, we serve Him and help Him whenever He needs it.
[He can work with vaguely eccentric!]

[because that's what it sounds like and she would kind of believe it at this point.]
