[backdated to Jan 25 because time isn't real]
With February almost upon us, I wanted to share some of the information I've gathered from other Sleepers, so that hopefully everyone will have more forewarning about the coming weirdness than they did last year. If the information contained in this post doesn't match up with your own experiences, or if you have more information to offer, please don't hesitate to leave a comment below! The books in the Archive might help, but ultimately our most reliable source of information on dealing with Trench is each other.
So! Last February a male humanoid of variable appearance (one correspondent described him as "massive like an elephant") appeared in Trench, offering chocolates of a magical nature in exchange for drops of Sleeper blood. These chocolates are reported to have unpredictably mutagenic or psychoactive effects; one correspondent reported that the chocolate they received caused them to painfully grow a set of antlers, while another stated that some of the chocolates could drive the ones who ate them into an involuntary murder spree.
It is further reported that this person or entity is able to exert a psychic influence on Sleepers, compelling them to make the trade for its wares. At this time there is no known way to resist this compulsion, so I must once again ask that anyone who has successfully done so, or has an actionable theories for how it may be accomplished, to please write into the comments below. I will of course be updated this post with new information as it arrives.
