Okay, so everyone knows the lamp network is in the shitter right now, and in case anyone missed it, we got truck rides.

[have a link of free promotion from a coworker! kind of!]

Hit them up if you want to stay safe. But. I'm doing rides, too, only I don't have a truck. It's piggyback or princess carry, bring your own helmet and maybe close your eyes if you're afraid of heights.

[fang will also provide rides that are less ...risky.]

April Forecast

Good evening, everyone. I hope March has been treating you gently.

Unfortunately it seems we have a difficult time ahead of us, as historically the sun does not rise in the month of April. On this point both the Archives and network posts from previous years are clear: assuming the trend continues, the sun will not appear after dusk on March 31, until dawn on the 1st of May. This means that we will have to rely on stored lunar power for light this month, as the moon will also be largely invisible due to heavy fog cover which we can expect to descend after midnight on the 1st. Fortunately a fully-charged lunar pod can be expected to provide light and power for at least a hundred years; if your household does not already have a pod or if you would like to donate a spare, please leave a comment in the designated spaces below this post, and you will be contacted by a member of Outreach on a first-come, first-serve basis.

In addition to the darkness, residents of Trench must contend with the annual migration of the Moonlit Butterflies, which are believed to be the creations or possibly the distant descendants of the Pthumerian Patron Argonaut. These creatures are described in detail in chapter twelve of Beasts of Deer Country, which can be found in the Archive, so I will limit myself to the most salient points: while the golden orbs cast off by these creatures can be safely collected and used to treat corruption, prolonged visual contact is known to rapidly increase corruption, as is slaying one of their number. Sleepers are thus advised to avoid looking at or attacking the butterflies, even if one lands on or near your home.

On a final note, I have received reports that portals to other worlds may be seen throughout the city this month, while a handful of network posts from last year describe attacks from silver-skinned dopplegangers; unfortunately I was not able to find more information on these events in a reasonable timeframe, for which I apologize. If anyone has any information they’d like to share about these or related events, or believes this post contains inaccurate information, please feel free to let me know in the comments below. Thank you all for your time.

[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.
