Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.

DESCRIPTION
The Stranger wears a large yellow robe, that seems to be made of yellow parchment. It has strips coming off that end in blue. His hands and feet are visible, appearing to wear some kind of golden scaled armour. Their face is obscured by a white ceramic mask, with gold streaks covering it. Galaxies can be seen beneath the eyeholes. She stands at exactly eight foot five and wields a large scythe with a golden blade and stone handle.
The Visitor From Carcosa
The Visitor From Carcosa wears a yellow business suit, with a black tie. He wears a masquerade mask that appears to be made of gold.
His skin appears to be made of old slightly yellow parchment, with all his features expertly drawn on.
Uses he/him.

@theircurse​​ sent “Oh my god. Are you a monster?” ( for Robert Chambers) from ‘Terrible First Meeting Starters’ (still accepting)
Tumblr media
“Am... I...?” 
Golden eyes observe the-- he didn’t want to say child-- but he also could be pretty assured they weren’t an adult. Teen. The teen. His eyes are a little sunken and tired but it seems like he’s doing all he can to make the best of it. Despite everything about him looking a little worse for wear. He’d seen things. Things that would never leave him-- things that would torture him again and again as he tried to rest.
Tumblr media
The long and the short of it was ‘no’  he wasn’t a monster, Hell, he wasn’t even that bad of a person. Someone who was more than happy to offer his help to others, to spend his time writing romantic poetry, to spend his days admiring the architecture of the city.
--As the sun drops low beneath the waters of the lake and every winking star emanated a blackness that drew in even the hardiest of observes. The spatters of ink that dabbled an already darkened sky-- and triplet moons that shone bright enough to blind and dance above.--
“No, I’m not a monster...”
His hand clutches tightly, almost subconsciously at the mention of ‘being a monster’ to the book at his side, “The King In Yellow-- A Play In--” the rest of the words seem to be worn away from the cover. But something, no matter how inconspicuous it may have seemed, didn’t feel right about it.
“...are... why? D-do you need help--? Or something...?”
--and as the moons, those strange, bright moons dance so far above? He watches them. All of them. Residents of his city and those of another land. The tatters of the king’s robes blow in a wind that no other could feel. He whispered in the mind of the author, “...”-- 
“I can help you if you need-- I don’t mind.” Awkward but helpful around those younger than he was, “Um... I’m Robbie.”
-- “...and, child, I see you.”--
Robbie was in no way a monster-- the book, however? That was a monster.

Turns out Lost Carcosa had a revolution in the early 20th century, so what you've actually summoned is the Democratically Elected Committee In Yellow
