[ The camera is clearly propped up neatly on a desk. He's leaning forward onto the desk, head in his hand as his focus is directly on it. He's wearing red, a rare pick for him, since he knows the white is a bit too much of a tell. And, there's at least a couple sets of visible wings: including the ones on top of his head. ]

I feel like we're getting a warm welcome with this rather persistent rain. For those more experienced than myself: is this common? I want to assume that it's not, since I imagine this city would be better equipped to handle constant flooding.

[ He shifts, leaning back away from the camera. ]

I know I'd rather be learning more about this city, the Prismals, and the types of people who arrived here from other worlds. Everything seems pretty fascinating. The different cultures, the history, the interesting and advanced technology.

So I'll ask, if you could be doing anything right now, what would it be?

Let's pretend that there's no consequences for your actions. You can do whatever your heart desires. If you don't want the world to know, you can be anonymous, though I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of.

[ He glares at the wings shown. An irrational anger builds up inside of him as he wants to tear those wings off.

His eyes close as he settles his own emotions. He recognizes, at least, that his response to seeing others with wings is not "right" but that is the most of it.

When he settles his anger to something like irritation, he is able to respond in voice. ]

Kill god.

[ He pauses before he laughs. ]

Could you imagine?

[recidivate]

An Archangel killing god? That's a lofty goal. What sort of army do you have?

[ Satan out here trying to start rebellions again. ]

[impiety]

Is it? I suppose so.

[ His tone remains light and joking. ]

Oh. I don't need an army.

[recidivate]

That's pretty bold and stupid. How do you even know that God can be killed.

[impiety]

[ NO U ]

We're talking about what I would be doing if I could do anything, right? So, She can be killed. [ Rather than purified. ]

[recidivate]

Alright, She - [ pause ] can. What would you do once God was dead?

[impiety]

Recreate the world to be a fair and kind place.

[recidivate]

Humans can be very idealistic. That's a nice thought, regardless.

[impiety]

[ A slight pause follows. ]

No. Humans can be petty and cruel and create petty and cruel worlds.

But perhaps that is what is wanted since God never does anything to stop them.

[recidivate]

No, God won't do a thing about that. He doesn't much care.

I have to ask, though. Is Archangel a name? A title? A wish?

1/2

[impiety]

It's true.

An apathetic god is worse than a cruel one.

[ Says the man who is in a torturous position back home and unable to escape it. Yet the being that put him in that position could care less about his existence or his pain. ]

[impiety]

And "Archangel" is a title.

It was given to me by my Order. I gave up my real name in order to accept it. So in this way... it is also a wish. A wish to save the people.

[recidivate]

God is cruel because He is apathetic. So much effort and praise is wasted on Him.

[ Hey, even though he's super salty, his tone still is rather...empty and apathetic, all the same. ]

Ah - an earned title, then. Interesting. Where I'm from Archangel is a title in some religious texts. It's a position of power, it's to be honored and respected. Your world is pretty interesting.

1/2

[impiety]

I suppose you're right. [ An apathetic god is a cruel one. ] She also deserves no praise or honor.

You cannot call something an Absolute God if they cannot save one soul.

[impiety]

[ ANYWAY. ]

Thank you for thinking so. If it means anything, my title also is one to be considered honored and respected. It is one to say that I am going to give my life to my people. [ Which he honestly wants to do. He is willing to lose his body, lose his life, to become God and watch over the people for all eternity. ]

[recidivate]

If God cared, God would do something, presumably.

It does mean something, at least to me. The information is appreciated.

Thank you.

[ It's still - well, insincere, but he says it because Archangel answered his questions. And while Ryo may not say thank you, he's trying to not seem the...same. ]
