[UA] That Damned Yellow Sign

[Thuvasa3]

So I keep thinking about what to do with this yellow
sign business and the meta-gamer, etc., and I came up
with the following--

If I use the Comte as a sort of Reality Cop, with the
idea being that there are multiple universes in
addition to sequential universes, what if The King in
Yellow exists in a parallel universe and is that
universe's version now perverted version of the First
and Last Man?  

I was thinking of it this way--What if there is a Bill
Toge-like split on a grand scale, sort of doubling up
everything, and the Comte can't fix it.  Not only does
he fail to fix it, his duplicate starts in on the
whole "destroy the universe" thing as mentioned in one
of the UA scenario books, and the Comte has to settle
for locking the other universe away, perhaps greatly
diminished, as he can't get rid of it completely. 
Thus, Carcosa is formed.  

Then, the bad Comte decides he's going to be First and
Last Man as well as King, and begins to embody the
archetype of the King in Yellow (i.e. a figure of
order who wants to promote chaos and destruction), and
then messes around with reality, occasionally bleeding
over into the real world, etc., etc. 

That way, I can have the Yellow Sign be real.  I can
set up shadowy agencies and strange battles between
the two Comtes, and generally mess with the players
with stuff that isn't in the UA books.  

Thoughts?  Opinions?
