NEWS FLASH: Ongoing weirdness, still. Residents of the dream world are still being asked to use precaution when traveling but should expect conditions to improve in the coming week or so.
BOX DIMENSION MISSION TO END IN THE COMING WEEK
By: Porter
The Dimension Investigation Agency has announced that its mission into the Box dimension will be coming to an end soon.
After its chief detective launched an investigation into Lucid’s possible whereabouts, the first place of investigation was the various sub-dimensions of the Box dimension. In doing so, this inadvertently caused a major leak into the main dream world leading to widespread wackiness. The wackiness itself has not posed a huge threat, but it did lead to strange happenings.
With the mission coming to an end soon, it’s likely the leak will also be patched up leading to everything going back to normal soon.
“We’re well aware of the unintended consequences that this mission had upon the dream world,” DIA spokesperson Kristopher Levy told the press on Tuesday, “There is thankfully no threat to the dream world though. The mission has been going smoothly and we expect the chief detective to come back with great results.”
As previously stated, chief detective Sylveran is unaware of the effects the mission has had on the dream world. As he is exploring the sub-dimensions, news of the state of the dream world cannot be reached within this place. Because of this, the head of the DIA will have to learn of it upon his arrival back from the mission.
Still, strange happenings are still occurring across the dream world. However, none of the reported strangeness has resulted in anything significant or negative upon the public.
“We’ve spoken with the Dimension Patrol Unit and confirmed that there hasn’t been anything devastating with this Box dimension leak unlike the ones you saw with Francis Robert P. Jackson,” Levy told the press, “We made sure that this mission would be safe from the minute chief Sylveran entered the Box dimension. Things will calm down once he returns.”
The chief detective of the DIA is expected to return sometime next week from his mission. This is an ongoing story. Stick with the Tribune for the latest information as it develops.
WEATHER TO GET RAINY LATER THIS MONTH
By: Oswald
The weather service is expecting rainy conditions later in April.
According to a general weather discussion board posted on its website, the Dimension Weather Prediction Service has been eyeing the potential for rain and shower chances to increase towards the end of the month. Typically, April is known for its showers and rainy weather that develops around the middle of the month. This year, it appears the rain will begin a little later towards the end of the month.
“Very early forecasts are pointing towards increased chances of rainy precipitation around when the month comes to an end,” DWPS senior meteorologist Neige told me, “It’s a little later than usual but nothing unusual for this time of year.”
Neige acknowledged that recent events have made weather forecasting a bit more difficult, but careful observations, calculations and tweaks have helped keeping things as accurate as possible.
“Keep in mind these very early forecasts are dealing with ongoing strange happenings so we’re doing our best to fine tune the forecasts and keep it as accurate as possible,” Neige explained, “If we’re being confident, I’d say we can expect widespread rain showers as we enter May. It is spring after all.”
Severe weather is also seeing its chances increasing with these forecasts. While severe weather typically occurs in spring, it can be sporadic, which means that it won’t be widespread and moreso concentrated in some areas of the dream world.
“Rain showers can turn into downpours and then into thunderstorms which in turn can become severe and bring hail, wind and even a tornado or two,” Neige explained to me, “The chances of severe weather increase as spring peaks later this month but it’ll be concentrated in some areas of the dream world— not widespread.”

Q/A: Ask Nate
Dear Nate, in theory, will soulmates always meet each other in any universe?
By: Eiluv Yu
Hi Eiluv! This is a question that a lot of people tend to ask even if they’re dating or not sure if they’re dating someone who is their soulmate. As you may have heard before, yes, soulmates are a real thing! Everyone has at least one, but let’s briefly touch on this topic again.
The concept of soulmates does exist and has been proven to be true. You see, it’s true that each universe has to be perfectly balanced in order for there to be “true order” and harmony. We have to be paired with our soulmate(s) in order for there to be such harmony, but it is very hard to do so. This is why a vast majority of universes are not at peace because the energy is not balanced. Lucid estimates that there may be less than one hundred universes that are at “true order” out there, but who knows if that’s true! It’s hard to say so exactly…
Now, should you find your soulmate(s) in this universe, you may wonder if you’d meet them in another life somewhere else. In this case, it would mean we’re talking about alternate universes— universes where it’s still “us” but not truly “us” if that makes sense. Basically, another version of us that exists somewhere in an alternate universe! Would the “you” here meet your soulmates in another “you’s” universe? Lucid has theorized that it is quite possible that, no matter the circumstances, you are bound to always meet your soulmates at some point in any other universe; however, whether you date them in that universe is different and hard to know. Lucid has coined this as the “Theory of Eversoul Convergence” and it has a nice ring to it, if I say so!
Honestly, it’s quite interesting to think about. Perhaps there’s a universe out there where you and your soulmate(s) are completely opposite of you in this universe! Maybe there’s a universe out there where your fashion styles are different, or even switched! Maybe there’s a universe out there where you do meet them, but there’s no happy ending… Yikes, there’s a LOT of possibilities as it’s theorized that there are an endless amount of alternate universes out there. I think I’m happy in the universe I’m in given the circumstances, but don’t worry if you think you haven’t met your soulmate yet. You’re bound to at some point if the theory is true…don’t worry! And hey, whether any of this is true or not, it’s fun to imagine falling in love over and over again in any life and in any universe with the same person or people… the never ending cycle of it all!
