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: Edward Elric, Seto Kaiba, Jinx, Sertoria Cani, Kiyomasa Senji, Dante Sparda, Gale Reinhardt. ]
Wanted
A man in Fayren is wanted for suspicions of having connections to the Hands of Decay. Pictures have been posted up throughout the city depicting the man, but so far nothing has surfaced. Anyone with any information regarding the man or his whereabouts will be monetarily compensated. If seen, it is suggested that you do not engage the man and instead contact the proper authorities.
Widespread Ecological Damage in Fayren
With the snow and ice beginning to thaw, there is growing concern that the wildlife in Fayren is not rebounding. Thickets of dead trees and wildlife have been spotted in growing number in the city, leaving environmentalists and ecologists deeply concerned about the ecosystem in the area. The trees and animals show no signs of disease, with the causes of death labeled "undetermined." A few magical scholars have suggested a supernatural cause for the sudden and rapid spikes in wildlife deaths, but due to the growing threat of the Hands of Decay, any investigation of the involvement of magic has been placed on hold indefinitely.
Error 325
You may have noticed if you own any Aster technology device connected to their network, but Aster Technology services went down earlier this week. When trying to access anything, you would receive the error code 325. Official word from a company representative says that the downtime was for routine maintenance that was somehow left off the schedule. But services have since return and everything appears to be in working order.
We reached out to the company for more information on the whole situation, but we haven’t received a response. We will continue to look into this and see what information we can get.
