Greetings to you, all. We at Hour of the Ceaseless Cup have received news of a tentacled being manifesting itself in private spaces of Cupules Valley citizens and watching them. As of this post, commonalities in sightings are as follows: 

1. Awoken by the sound of something wet, squishy, or slimy
2. A tall figure that stands in the darkness of the private space. Regardless if there is light that should reach the figure, it is always dark and seems to emit darkness around itself. 
3. The tall figure’s height reaches the sighters’ ceilings, varying from the home standard of eight feet to ceilings that reach near 20 feet  
4. Eyes that are human like, but with colors and obstructions in eyes typically associated with illness, such as a milky white hue over the lens or the entirety of the eye or splotches of red mixed with natural colors of the sclera and pupil
5. Though we have only seen it in a few reports, some sighters have said tips of tentacles slither out of the darkness shortly after their hearts start beating rapidly enough for them to feel discomfort
6. Being unable to move, as if bound by something. Shortly after realizing immobilization, an intense feeling of dread, followed by a deep, distorted voice mumbling something in an unknown language that induces further dread

Also worth noting is that there seems to only one commonality between reporters’ physical traits, behaviors, or overall health: histories of sleep conditions or abnormalities that range from trouble falling or staying asleep to severe cases of insomnia across all reporters. 

These reports come from our Cup Bearers and field agents specifically in a tri-neighborhood map consisting of University, Gully Summit, and Eastern Falls. Incidentally, these three neighborhoods are home to a high concentration of young people, blue collar workers, and ethnic minorities who all have been historically known to have disproportionately lower incomes and net worths than their neighbors in Victory Hills and Ale Peaks. The affected neighborhoods are overseen by Amarpel Bird and Crystal Diaz, both of whom are new to Cupules Valley City Council and are unknown to Hour of the Ceaseless Cup. The latter two neighborhoods are overseen by city council members Stefan Rebillt and Charles “The Vulture” Cortez, who Hour of the Ceaseless Cup have been monitoring since their passive involvement in the Dumpster Portals scandal that affected local businesses. We will update our blog on this with news of these high level players’ involvement or indifference of the situation at hand.

We at the Hour of the Ceaseless Cup have determined that this is a blue code threat, on par with previous incidents such as the Duplicates and Happy Mirrors; incidents that will more than likely affect concentrated areas of the Cupules Valley and possibly more if not dealt with sooner rather than later. With the information we have on hand, we hypothesize that this visitor forces victims awake in order to assess them via psychic connection. Because of this, we suggest adequate amounts of uninterruptible sleep, even if it means the consumption of over-the-counter medicines, retrieving prescription sleep aids, or the consumption of substances, controlled or illicit. 

This ends our report to you, Cup Bearers. Keep your senses and minds open, and above all, stay safe.
