[ He's been asked to talk about where he's from a few times and he always is unsure what to say. Thinks... ]
It is a place called the Vatican. It is a nation built around the Church and Ministry of Darkness. Most people believe in at least one of them, but the biggest church is Alll-mer's.
[ whoa a pantheon. how very neat. she doesn't know how fucked up fear and hunger is.

It's wonderful to have such religious tolerance, but... hmm... I was going to say something about Catholicism, but it doesn't sound like it's in your Vatican City? Unless it is?
