[The screen comes on and there’s… nobody. Ah wait, no! There’s a butterfly. Bouncing up and down and shining as brightly as a twinkling star.]

Whooooa, this is cool! Hey! Can anybody hear me? Hellooooo is anybody there? Wow! This is sooo much more convenient then yelling at the top of your lungs! Now there is no excuse when somebody says that they don’t hear you!

Alright, so, yes, I should probably focus and not waste time on this thing? Can you even waste time here? Hmm… well, that’s a question that can be answered later, I guess. So, right, my name is… Butterfly. Yeah, yeah, I know. Pretty obvious. Wanna argue about it? Actually, that’s probably not a very good idea. I mean, what are you going to say when you lose to a butterfly? That’s gotta be a new low if I ever heard of one. And I spent most of my early life crawling on my belly! Ha!

So, hey, obviously this isn’t the world that I wanted to be around, and obviously that means that this whole thing is somebody else’s doing, so I want to know some answers. Um. Please? I mean you can’t all be displaced people from different worlds, right? Right.

Oh, and hey, if there’s anybody else that also has room for a butterfly in their home, I’m definitely in the market for one! I don’t need much room, honest! Just a dishful of sugar water and maybe an unused corner of the room! C’mon! You won’t even notice I was there!!

Another pause. Only this one seems a lot heavier then last time. "...you really don't have a filter from your mouth to your brain, do you?"

"What's this thing about God?"

[hattrickery]

"Zemus, the Grand Architect. He basically got hit so hard He exploded, and now all the pieces of Him that are left over plague the world as demon lords. So His feet became the cyclops Atlas, His blood became the undead knight Sir Sanguinus, and so on and so forth. They're mostly sealed away in the grottoes until He heals, so His daughter Celestria is watching after Creation until then."

Slight pause.

"Just as an aside, the goddess Celestria is no relation to the ruler of this realm, Princess Celestia. Pretty sure it's just one of those weird name coincidences."

[keepcalmandflutteron]

"And you think that's something you should bring up in casual conversation with somebody you just met?"

"There seems to be a lot of coincidences floating around these days."

[hattrickery]

"Should I...not have? I mean, nobody's said anything about it so far..."

[keepcalmandflutteron]

"IIII... guess not?" The butterfly ponders this, the only mark for time moving being the brief fluttering of wings.

"Still, I would think that if you had a direct connection to God, people would bother you with all sorts of things. Or thing you're crazy."

[hattrickery]

"Well, I like when people ask me to do things for them; that's what being a Guardian Angel is about, you know?"

[keepcalmandflutteron]

"But how would they do anything when you aren't there?"
