Put together a little interactable project...
There's a couple cards in Fallen London I've always wondered about: The Northbound Parliamentarian and The Paranomastic Newshound. They both have a second option on their card that's clearly connected to each other and hints at some kind of esoteric story in the background, but I couldn't quite tell what was going on.
Well, it turns out there were originally six cards, not two, and together they told a little story about the six of them getting trapped in a distant tomb colony. They were all added to tie in with the release of The Silver Tree back in 2012, but it sounds like they got cut not that long after because their rewards were overwhelmingly powerful.
Well, I don't care about rewards but I did want to see the rest of the story. So I did a little spelunking, and I manged to recover the full text of all of the missing cards. And this being cohost, why not make them "playable" again with the power of CSS? (Huge thanks to @ticky for helping me out with the CSS!)
So here they are, all six cards in the "lost in the tomb colonies" story.

(If anyone from Failbetter would rather I not republish these, I'm happy to take it down. I can also remove the still-active cards if wanted.)
