[Leonardo takes a long while to respond to this. A long, long while. It makes him horrendously nauseous and light-headed, while prickles of angry heat mingled with prickles of terrified despair slowly crawl up his neck and down his spine. Now, of all times, the Yellow Sign would return.
When he finally responds, after fighting with his stomach to not vomit, there is no usual kindness to his mental voice.]
The King in Yellow is one of the most dangerous of the Old Ones, who were said to live ages before the first man walked the Earth. He resides in Carcosa, and can enter the world through a lake which is called Hali. He is clothed in tattered yellow robes, which smell of corpses and putrid moss and damp earth, with a pallid, mortifying mask. To look upon his unmasked face is to know true madness, and none have survived the ordeal completely intact.
But The King in Yellow is merely an Avatar of Innominandum - He Who Is Not To Be Named, for speaking his name three times will summon him, and it will most surely spell your doom. His second avatar is the Feaster from Afar. He is described as a monstrous mass of tentacles and eyes that can drive you to insanity with their gaze, each tentacle possessing razor-sharp claws which can easily pierce into your skull and remove your brain. I do not think I need go into further detail.
What is on the drain is called the Yellow Sign. It is the symbol of his cult, as well as his sigil of power. To wear it upon your person is to give the King in Yellow a conduit to your mind, where he may then speak through you, or more likely, possess you to do his bidding. I highly suggest none of you do so, or I will not be responsible for what happens to you.

... does that answer your question, Naoto?
