Comets

Comets will be called on by Sol and Lune only when they need someone eliminated. Murders must not be made outside of their knowledge and the Comets will not be able to refuse an assignment. Sometimes Comets may be asked to work together, but often times they will have to act alone. However, both Comets must be in attendance when the Signs have an assignment.

When the Signs seek to summon Comets, a portal will appear when a Comet finds themselves alone. Upon entering the portal, they will be brought into a tea room where the Signs are waiting for them. When their visit in the room concludes and they choose to exit, the portal will disappear. Comets will find that no matter how long they spent in the tea Room, no time has elapsed outside of the portal.

Outside of Sign-requested kills, Comets may participate in the game as normal including fulfilling their objectives and using their gifts.

Comets will be able to kill without being put on trial so long as it is a Sign-ordered kill. Any kills Comets make outside of a request are eligible for trial.

What does this mean? This means that Comets will be able to kill without leaving behind any incriminating evidence, and if they are voted for in-trial during a week in which they kill they will not be executed. However, they will become more vulnerable in the following week and be on the list of victims for the following week.

Comets will also be able to receive access to additional tools for murders should Sol and Lune see fit.

Additional notes:
The Comets will be allowed to ask questions about the ongoings of the game and communicate with the Signs in their weekly meetings. They will be able to also receive small hints in the game should they perform well, including game mechanics, locations and more. However, the information received will be up to Sol and Lune's discretion.

Best of luck.

... So, what? A vague whim?

[ She sighs, and rubs her hand through her hair, clenching it in the strands for a moment. ]

Maybe it sounds harmless to you, but to me it feels more like an axe over our heads. It exists, so it's a threat over our heads. Just because it's not being used now doesn't mean it won't be.

Would you like to contemplate the intentions of the universe? It may take time, but if it would help, then I am willing.

[it could be like a thought exercise?]

Mm - would you rather that we did not inform you until there was suddenly a moment in which an assignment was needed?

Or would you rather be aware of the criteria in which I might consider a death to be unavoidable? You do not have to listen, if you do not wish for it.

However, I would like to hear what you have to say as well.

Would it help? Or would it just be too big and overwhelming for my comprehension?

[ Mmmm don't be sour. ]

...

I think I'd rather know what would prompt them to call on us. At least that way, we might be able to try and avoid or, or persuade the others to avoid it.

I do not know - but perhaps speaking through it will at least allow some of the thoughts to exit your mind.

[gotta keep from overcrowding? it just seems stressful.]

Mm, you are correct.

As far as I'm concerned, the only reason to call for the death of another... is if they will bring unavoidable destruction and harm to a great number of people.

[ ... ]

Are there any people in the group that fit that description?

If there are, I would deeply question why they were brought here.

However, at times, others may be pushed to that extent.

Desperation driving people to extremes?

[ That's... not out of the question, at all. ]

And whoever decided all this is sure enough that someone could do this. Otherwise we wouldn't be here.

[a nod]

It is a distinct possibility. It is a responsibility for Sol and I to assign possible... complications to you to handle, however we are not going to use that fact lightly.

However since we are able to see more than either of you, we are in a better position to be watchful.

[ Like puppets on a string, is the first thing she thinks of. They see things everyone else remains blind to, and decide when to call on people who may or may not even want to hurt anyone to do just that. ]

...

And what would happen if any of us - you and Sol included - were to refuse? Either to carry out a killing on our end, or to pass down the order to kill on yours.

[ . . . thoughtfully:]

I cannot say, but it is just as possible that any of us might be replaced...?

[ . . . ]

I understand that we have not entirely matched up to expectations, and cannot provide answers as immediately as you all desire.

However... I am hesitant to allow anyone to usurp me in this position, precarious as everything is.

Better the devil you know? That sort of thing?

...

So, ultimately you'll do what's best for your position. [ Which is... well. What she expected. She doesn't know Sol or Lune from anyone else, really. She wouldn't want them hurt, exactly, but offer up them versus the School-Live club back home and there would be no question who she'd choose. ]

Thank you. That makes things a bit clearer.

[a shake of their head, and a gentle correction:]

I will do what is best for all of you, and for the universe to prosper. That is my intended purpose, my goal, and what I will not compromise.

[at least they seem to feel strongly about that much....]

Even so...

I apologize for the burden being placed upon you. I know it must be heavy.

[ She'll give them that - the words are sincere enough, but... y'know. If it came down to it, Miki's pretty sure it'd be their necks on the chopping block. ]

Well... thank you for saying it at least. I guess I'm used to burdens by now, but this one is pretty intense.

... you are not alone in it.

Your fellow Comet is also here to assist - and Sol and I will do whatever it takes to make it easier on you, in the ways that we can.

I don't think it's fair to ask someone else to help me out with something like this if they don't have to. I know it says we may both need to act, but if not then it's not necessary. [ If you make mistakes, you have to own them and own up to them.

She's. Not great at sharing her problems. ]

But alright.

You needn't ask.

[gently, but with a note of understanding.]

But if it is a matter of relying on more than just your own power, I hope you will trust those gathered here.

If they prove they're trustworthy, then yes. I can try to.

[lune will move to place a hand over their chest at that and bow their head]

Then I will hope that my actions will speak louder than words.

[because it's not like they can blame anyone for placing doubt when they're given words alone]
