the masked marauder

hello lord. I've missed you.
I had things to do, archangel. on earth.
anything I should know about lord?
not really. I paid my creatures a little visit.
how did they receive you?
oh, I didn't reveal myself. heavens no.
then what did you do?
oh, just had some fun. they are a gullible lot.
you didn't. . . play tricks on them, did you?
me? I am the lord. I have more important things to do.
that's a relief.
but I did leave a few hints that I'd been around.
you did?
yes. a few, er, burnt-out hints..
you can sometimes be so. . . unpredictable.
my middle name. well, if I had a name, of course.
of course.
