You know...

I have grown very tired as of late. To die... to come back... to apparently be returned to my world and brought back here... to know that nothing done here matters at all. But that's the wrong way to think.

It does all matter.

[ He lets out a sigh. ]

Those that are imprisoned in the Lightless... I refuse to allow them to be held there any longer. What reason do we have to keep them there? What reason beyond that these people say they deserve it? What reason should they not be granted forgiveness?

This world is built on a system I refuse to humor anymore.

[ And, Archangel begins to use his Exalted ability -- his dragon voice to coerce those listening both Prismal and Moonblessed. ]

The Moonblessed sycophants that joined the Moon Knights are to be killed on sight! And everyone else... come to the lowest level and break the barrier to release those in the Lightless! Now!

[ ooc: Hi, it's that plot that I had mentioned with Archie returning. He's causing riots with his dragon voice and "convincing" everyone to break the barriers of the Lightless. Will he succeed? The answer is, of course, no. But he's going to cause a lot of chaos. For simplicity's sake -- I'll keep all my stuff to this post and anyone can do what they want with the madness that Archie has created. ]

[Had Hijikata been able to properly follow the Archangel's arguments he'd only have given him more disheartening feedback: that all his efforts will be futile, that free will finds its way and people will always fuck things up for themselves and others, and that there'll never be a perfect world.

Whether it was the Archangel's upset at not being understood, anger at being challenged by a perceived traitor, grief over all the pain he experienced, or a mix of everything, it gave his hands enough strength to properly end Hijikata, so he's finally completely quiet. His body starts crystallising right away, at first just looking like it's being covered in an inexplicable frost, and sooner or later he'll likely be collected and put wherever they showcase the dead Moonblessed - he never actually visited the place. The device on his wrist is still streaming the footage of his drones, one hovering overhead, the other keeping its camera on the elevator to the Lightless, where the mob has now overpowered the other Moon Knights and is streaming forward.

There's a nasty battle ahead, no doubt about it, and later on Hijikata will disgruntled over having had to sit it out, but if nothing else he learned to be respectful of even fake angels today. If the Archangel will be safely imprisoned by the time he revives he'll make sure to inquire if he's been given any therapeutic help, because he thinks he needs it. After this experience he has no doubt that he came to Prismatica straight from hell.]
