NEWSPAPER - BIWEEKLY EDITION
[Did you subscribe to The Genessia Tribune? Did you even remotely wish you had a newspaper or some other form of media to refer to for news, weather, and current events? Then you're in luck! There's a paperboy riding through the streets of Genessia flinging newspapers onto doorsteps or, if you're unlucky, through your window. Even remote locations in the other cities will still get a paper if one of the residents ever wanted one. The Paperboy is just that dedicated.]
[And if you're one of the following people, and you happen to subscribe to the newspaper, the Paperboy may or may not have flung the newspaper through that person's window, at the person, and/or broke something in the area: Squidward Tentacles, Terra Branford, Athrun Zala, Balthier, Blaine DeBeers, Umetaro Nozaki]
Fayren Unearthed Part 2
Last night a strange event occurred. To anyone that looked up into the night sky at 2am, a bright pillar of light was seen for a few moments before disappearing. Enough people saw it that it wasn't written off as some cheap trick and a few set out in the middle of the night to investigate.
Returning they said the light came from what appears to be a set of ruins that no one has seen before. No archaeologist or explorers have entered the ruins as of yet owing to what happened to the group last time, but they along with merchants are once again offering up money to those that bring back items from inside! But be warned, it has been reported that the sound of monsters was heard coming from inside of the ruins. So if you go, make sure you protect yourself!
Valentine's Bundle
The Valentine’s Auction hosted by David Haller last week pulled in a surprising sum of money. Over thirty thousand Redbills raised for charity. David Haller said it is owned to the generosity of the people that attended. And that he hopes they are all happy on their dates, whenever they have them. David Haller himself participated in the auction as well and won.
David Haller said that they pulled in more money than they could have expected, and he plans to divide the money up and donate it to separate charities to help spread it around some. He's also said that if anyone has a charity that they would like to see the money go to, then come and speak to him.
The most expensive date of the night was one Terra Branford, owner of Jardin Verdoyant. She went for a massive 12,000 redbills and was won by Athrun Zala.

I would give them one star if I could.
