Card Prompts:

Recording #1 - 6 of Spades: A rumor turns out to be true, and that shakes you to your core. What is the rumor? How did you find out it is true, and why could it spell disaster for the town? Recording #2 - 7 of Spades: You come face to face with the terror, but aren’t ready just yet. How does it happen, how does it go wrong, and did you learn anything about the terror? Recording #3 - 5 of Spades: The terror does something that seems out of the ordinary given its previous behavior. Does this teach you something new about it? Recording #4 - Ace of Spades: You are scared. Because you tried to stop the terror it has taken notice of you. You think it is going to kill you. Why? Do you survive? If not, do you finish this entry before you meet your fate? Recording #5 - Ace of Spades: Something terrible has happened to The Past. You don’t think they’ll ever answer you, but you share one last entry detailing how you use the information you’ve uncovered together to defeat the terror, at least for now.
