Notes: The cards are drawing to a close. Or are they? Read below for detailed information on what's become of them.

• Memory/Desire/Twisted Future/World Cards Recap. For a quick refresher on the cards obtained so far, refer to this post, this post and this post. This is only what has happened so far. This week, everything changes.
• Every single card your character has received in the past few weeks disappears. That's right, you don't have them anymore. I hope you've had your fill of those memories and intoxicating desires. But wait! What's this...? In the morning of Thursday, March 24th, each character will find something new atop their bedstands.
• All characters now own a Single Vintage Playing Card. Characters will find this card face down on their bed stands. The back will appear faded, yellowed, and burnt around the edges. When the characters pick up the cards to see the face, they will find something rather disturbing on the front.
  
  It will be their own face, photographed in sepia tones.
  
  However, they will be dressed in clothes completely unfamiliar to them. They probably more greatly resemble a man or woman from 1920s Prohibition-Era America, be they a gangster, a flapper girl or a jazz player. In fact, characters should not remember this photograph ever being taken in their lifetimes.
  
  For an idea of what the cards look like, check out this picture. Your character can have any expression of your choosing, with any suit of your choosing.
  
  Over the next few weeks these cards will Grow In Importance as we amp up for our next big event. For now, if your character swipes these cards, they will suddenly smell the faint but strengthening stench of liquor and cigarettes... and is that jazz music drifting around in the spring air?
  
  Above all, these cards should disconcert and spook your characters. At least at first. Like previous cards, they are indestructible, and no matter what happens to them they will always reappear at the character's bedside the next morning.

And that's it for this week. In the meantime, keep an eye out for a Large Mod Post within the next seven days. This post will explain the upcoming April event, and give all players an opportunity to Coordinate and Plot with one another. Get excited!
