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: Andrea Hendricks, Shirou Emiya, Lancer of Black, Lie Ren, Gellert Grindelwald, Grievous, Soma Cruz, Neito Monoma.
The following people have their newspaper placed neatly on their doorsteps: Peter Graham, Cad Bane, Koishi Komeiji, Mayu Nozaki, Shota Aizawa, Android 17, Katsuki Bakugou, Gale Reinhardt, Myrrh, Mavis Vermillion, Bulla Brief, Ted, Leo.
Shi Yamato and Rin Thosaka get a paper thrown at them.]
We the Attletonians
The various cul-de-sacs of Attleton have gotten together for a civilized meeting and have broken into two factions. The more reasonable of the two have decided that Attleton is the type of place where all people are to be accepted acceptably and the only exception should be where the law makes us unequal. It is for this reason that the Attletonians of the cul-de-sacs on the South side will be forming the South Attleton Safety Society (SASS), a band of concerned citizens who will be respectfully reminding our mayor and City Guardians that the majority of our people are without powers and those who wield any manner in public, not just demonly, should be considered armed and dangerous.
With the exception of supernatural emergencies such as the loss of the barrier, no one should be carrying weapons around Attleton be they guns of the literal or metaphysical type, except for designated law enforcement and attractive muscles. This will decrease the serial killer problem by not allowing access to ridiculous weaponry and stop demon-related incidences in a town where not only demons but all exceptional shows of power are in excess of what is necessary for peaceful living. Stop bullying normies! We the Attletonians fully support Guardian Dante in taking the first step toward equality in safety by banning free-reign demonic summoning and ask for your support in bringing Attleton even CLOSER to becoming a society free of power-induced fear! Equality in safety now with SASS!
Signed,
South Attleton Safety Society
Old Man Grumpire
The home of a long lived vampire in Everglade named Aleister Morgan has been the target of teenage vandalism. Aleister is referred to by many as ‘Old Man Grumpire’ for his long life. He has openly stated that he has killed in his youth, for pleasure and for fun. He has run the gamut of having all types of races, Humans, Zombies, Werewolves and even Vampires, which he is. But he’s stated that with age comes clarity.
Long ago, he realized hate and discrimination is pointless. The only thing that truly matters is one’s own actions. Since that realization so long ago, he has done various things. He’s helped raise human and other types of supernatural children, he’s helped young Vampires learn and cope better with what they’ve become. He’s donated money, lent his physical strength to help with construction projects and also sorts of various charity activities.
He also has very little tolerance for needless and damaging childish antics such as vandalism. His home has been targeted after he reprimanded teenagers for causing needless damage to some structures. His neighbors have stated that they will be on the lookout for the teenagers so that they can be caught when they return.

Your time is better spent elsewhere doing more productive things.Extended Overview
Don't look for opportunities in the wrong places. Go where the action is and where people are discussing the topics and ideas that match your goals.Career Overview |
Time spent doubting yourself is time wasted. Use it to improve your situation instead.Quick Overview

Only you know what your passions are. Feed them, nourish them, and nurture them.Career Overview |
A male with strong ideas will influence you at this time.Quick Overview
Practice what you preach. If you believe in something, if you have strong ideals, then show others by modelling them in your life.

The sad story or tragic tale of another person may help to bring a greater sense of perspective to your own life at this time.

Be open to new ideas. Other people bring fresh perspectives with them that could open your eyes to fascinating or inspiring possibilities.Career Overview |
Careful organisation will make all the difference.Quick Overview
Pay extra attention to small details at this time and don't assume that everyone shares the same understanding as you.

Templates and cut 'n' paste will be your best friend. Don't reinvent the wheel if you don't have to.Career Overview |
There will be sudden progress. Be prepared for a breakthrough.Quick Overview
We don't always make the right choices every time, but it is our choices, and the choices of those around us, that set us on our path. If you spend too much time procrastinating and being afraid to make a decision, you won't move forward with a clear purpose and your progress may slow down. However, if you make a decision that turns out to be wrong, you can't allow yourself to get stuck in a muddy pit of frustration and regret. We all make mistakes as we move through life. How you bounce back from them, your personal resilience, is what will make all the difference to your future.Extended Overview
We all experience failure. Learn from it, but don't wear it around your neck like a heavy chain. Let it go.Career Overview |
Those happy times are still in your heart. You will never forget them.Quick Overview
The more we worry about tomorrow, the less we enjoy today. Yes, it's important to plan and prepare for the difficult tasks that lay ahead of us, but we shouldn't do this at the expense of living in the present. If your eyes are always firmly fixed on tomorrow, you may not see what is wonderful about today. It would be a terrible waste if you didn't take some time to appreciate what you have now and to enjoy what is happening in your life at this time. Don't spend your day lost in an imaginary prediction about the future; be mindful and live in the present. The future is now.Extended Overview
Showing up to an important meeting without preparation is like attending an exam without studying. What did you expect?Career Overview |
If you can't be certain that you'll win, don't play the game. You've got too much to lose this time.Quick Overview
We are not born with a fixed amount of intelligence. The human brain can grow with each new mistake that we make and each new discovery; and those neurological links are made stronger each time you practise a skill or talent to a level of mastery. You are doing yourself an injustice if you believe that you can't learn. Your brain is an amazing organ that can grow and change. The only things that you need to make this happen are purpose, persistence, practise and opportunity.Extended Overview
Don't mistake busyness for productiveness.Career Overview |

Help Request
Once it does, he will exorcise it so that it may move on and find peace in the afterlife. But before he can do that, over night, the Ghost will possess Rapunzel(Randomized into the one getting possessed). It’ll try to mess with everyone’s head, making them hear whispers or experience images of their worst fears or people from their past blaming them for things that aren’t there fault or even playing up on insecurities that they might have about themselves or any number of disturbing images.
Trying to leave a room or walk down a hall will lead them back to where they came from as if in some type of loop. Though it will only last for 1-3 hours before its powers start to wane some and give it a chance to be subdued and finally exorcised.
All participants need to discuss how it goes or play out the encounter.
Re: Bounty Claims!
Who: Ted
Unlogged Bounty Summary: Ted hung out and read poetry in the park. He also practiced his acrobatics and generally made a spectacle of himself. Sure enough, that drew the robot demon out, and they went at it, finishing in a climactic beheaded-by-kick. The authorities wondered if he didn't have some obsession with decapitating malfunctioning robots, but Ted assures it was just coincidence.
Additional Information: Open if you want! Also PM if you had your heart set on it for CR stuff; just another job for him.
