cyclists | COMETS;

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.

... I am not pleased with the necessity of it either.

[there's something solemn in lune's voice then]

However it does not change the fact that, at the moment, it remains a necessity.

Forget necessity!!! We've proven two weeks in a row that we can purify the Corrupted without killing them. Tell me who found those items and I'll find another -- that way no one dies.

Hang letting someone die out of "necessity" when we might be able to help them!

Miki.

[softly, but with a quiet sort of understanding]

If there was currently room for such a hope, I would assure you that we would cling onto it as tightly as possible.

However, those items are not given at the request of the young one and myself. If one will appear... it will do so today. Should you find it, we can see about having the order removed.

But I do not wish for you to believe in a lie that will not come to fruition either.

If it's there I'll find it.

[ She's completely, totally serious. If it's out there, she'll do everything she can to find it. ]

... I can't do this them. I just can't.

[there is a moment where lune pauses, drinking his tea and seeming to think of an answer]

... do you believe death is the end, Miki?

It's pretty final, regardless of what spiritual beliefs you have about life after death or reincarnation. It's the end of you, as you are now. That's still an ending.

[ maybe one day she'll drink the tea in front of her, not today. ]

Certainly, all things are meant to break one day. I hold that belief as well, even if I understand the fear of it, and wish for it to be a very far day for each of you.

[but lune will hum thoughtfully]

Yet I also believe that in a place as malleable as the center of the universe, such preconceived notions may not appropriate to rest faith in.

But not far enough for some people.

[ she just looks down at the table for a moment, and sighs. ]

Regardless of what it is, I just can't keep failing people. Not like I have been. Here and back home.

Oh? I wonder what gives you the impression that you have been failing - here, at the very least.

We didn't even stop to consider that we could save Tokidoki. Maybe if we had, or if we'd looked hard enough, we might have been able to.

... your dedication to preserving life is admirable, Miki -

However I wonder if you will run yourself ragged, imagining alternative scenarios for what has already come to pass.

I'm tired of losing people. Here, or back home. Maybe it'll run me ragged, but at least I'll have tried.

As long as you know that the fault is not within yourself, if the world does not immediately bend to your will.

I know but... if you were given the choice between a hundred per cent failure, or the chance to avert a bad situation even if the chance was small, what would you choose to do?

Without hesitation, I would choose the latter.

[there is a smile in their voice]

... I am not admonishing you for choosing to possess faith, and wanting to make sure that every avenue is explored, Miki. Rather, I only hope that you will leave room for forgiveness for yourself in the event that not all will turn out as you hope.

... Maybe. There are a lot of things I do need to berate myself about, though. But I'll try and keep it in line.

If there's a way I can help her, I will. I can't just hide here and say I can't be involved. I have to try.

Certainly so....

Though I worry often, over the human inclination toward regret.

It's... empathetic. I don't think it's a good thing all the time, but regret can make you strive to do better.

That is a sentiment that I agree with - as long as you remember to exercise it in healthy doses yourself, I will be content.

Hm. I'll do what I can -- sometimes you can't control it, though.

Ahaha, such is the issue that comes with feeling...

Please know that you are always welcome to come to me, if there is more that I can do for you. Even if it just to lend an ear.

... Alright. I'll keep that in mind.

[ hello what is talking about feelings? ]

I'm never really sure what you're allowed to say and what you're not allowed to say though.

The trend that I have found...

If it is information that is able to be provided by another one of your number, it is not within my ability to dispense the information on their behalf.

So keep needling the people around me until they're willing to share the information. I guess this isn't really the time for being polite and courteous.

Ahaha - or make yourself someone that they feel they owe the information to.

Alliances and bonds have been rather interesting to observe in this.
