Hello Traveler. Since the last time I saw you, the dream world has recovered and moved in the right direction all thanks to everyone's generosity with helping each other out in such a time of need. I have been doing well myself, I mean, I am the chief of the health agency so I should be a good role model for it.

Kamaria and I are actually on our way to a meeting that all of the "Big Six" chiefs have at the beginning of each month. I thought I would be the latest chief to be a part of this "Big Six,"  but after chief Tsukanai got terminated, it's been...odd.

I cannot say much out of context and out of what happens at work, but Sylveran has been an odd personality and addition to the "Big Six" since he assumed the post back in March. Our meetings are often difficult because he is very persistent and seemingly focused on issues that we already have under control and ideas that are a bit unorthodox. For someone who is the newest chief here, he sure is making a name for himself...

But alas, today is my birthday as well. These balloons are for me and we're waiting for the lift to open up. Did you know that as chiefs we get lift teleport access? This means we can use any lift in the dream world to take us to where ever we need to go. Since this occasion is special, you're welcome to tag along for the cake. Don't worry, we'll have you wait in the break room as we finish our meeting. — Ophelia

Hello Traveler! Fancy seeing you here! Yes, you caught me in the middle of taking a quick lunch break from reporting on the news today. Arial and I have been following the recent arrests made by DIA agents these last few days and reporting on developments. After a bit of traveling, we decided to stop here for a bite!

If you've ever been in journalism, you'll know that the news never stops. There's always something going on and my job is to find out what and get the scoop! This is a passion that I find myself constantly pushing myself hard for, but getting to write for the Subliminal Tribune? It's a dream come true!

Of course, the news doesn't stop even if it's my birthday. You know, it's strange how I'm in my 30s, but it still feels like I'm that young lad who was pushing 20. It's not a lie when they say that time is easier on you in the dream world than it is in the real world. Honestly, I wish I could stay like this forever! Not like I'd be too much use back home...

But alas! We're here to eat and chat! You should definitely grab yourself a bowl of ramen. What kind do you like? I'm not too fond of the spicy kind, but if you're into that, I won't judge! Thanks for sticking around with me on my birthday today! Would you want to come along with us to find a scoop? — Porter

Hello there, Traveler. I see that you've gotten the invitation to come on over to Almoral's mansion for a little get together...

This get together is actually for my birthday party. This year, Dylan, Almoral, and me are hanging out once again on my birthday. Last year, we spent it at the Parlor eating pizza (before Almoral's slice fell to the floor and it was a whole scene), but this year is different. The weather outside is pretty awful as of late and we didn't want to travel to the Parlor in such weather. Almoral's place provided better shelter with more things to do and he was kind enough to allow us to "hide out" here from the storm.

I'll admit that we haven't really been together, you and I, this past year. A lot of things happened since our last big advenure...what was that again? Oh right, back when the dream world and Wonderland almost collided together. Wow, that was quite a while ago. Well, it's very nice to see you again nonetheless. Not much has changed between our little friend group, though Almoral has been more vocal for Lucid after the situation with the DPF, Sylveran, the DIA...blah blah blah, you know how THAT went...

Aside from that, we've been fine, thankfully. I'm glad you decided to come stop by for my birthday even though it's been quite the minute we've properly spoken to each other. It means a lot that you came all this way. Now, why don't you grab a cupcake and come join us for a few games? If I were you, I'd keep an eye on Almoral...he may just cause this thing to fall over... — Epsilon
