Excellent. Thank you! :D

I'll add the living story message to Success.

If you obtain the booster Quality, it starts at 1. It's invisible at first. At any point within a few hours to several days later (3 weeks was my longest period; it's normally within 1 week), the Quality shall randomly rise to 2 and two other things happen: 1) The Quality is now visible and states itself as "Something-something 2" in the Story section of your Qualities under the "Myself" tab. 2) A note of its rise and any linked storylet appears under your "Messages" tab, so check that tab frequently.

That's how it works right now and how it's worked for the past few months. The mechanics of living stories are constantly being tweaked in some minor or major way, so stay alert for changes. In the past, the Qualities were visible at all stages. It's odd that they're now invisible. Maybe FL didn't want to clutter up our Story Qualities with them? :-/ I don't know... This is why we must be vigilant in the face of whimsical and seemingly hallucinatory game mechanics!
