NEWSPAPER - SUNDAY 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: Alp, Ira Gamagori, Taiki, Minako Aino, Natsu Dragneel, Zelman Clock, Rapunzel. ]

Ask Addy's Advice
Dear Addy,
    Is it interior-design to put a napkin holder in the bedroom? I don't want to buy the kind that you can pull out from a box but my husband loves eating hot wings in the bedroom. I want to put a holder on the wall so I don't have to hide a pack in the night stand. That way, anyone can pull a napkin to clean up whatever mess or wipe their hands if they get buffalo sauce all over them even after I've told him 54,094 times not to eat in the bedroom. I've never seen one in anyone's bedroom before, and I'm wondering if it would send the wrong message.
        Sincerely, Destined to Dirt

Dear Destined to Dirt,
    Tell him to stop eating in the bedroom. Who eats hot wings in bed? Damn girl, it starts with a hot wing and suddenly you've got garlic bread and crumbs all up in there and guess what? He's not going to vacuum it before he falls asleep. Check him for hot wings before he enters that bedroom and tell him he's sleeping on the couch if he tries to bring contraband in. Add a little spice to your bedroom life by telling him you've got all the hot he needs without the wings.
        I Feel You,
                Addy

Bounties

Genessia:
Bob the Breaker: He can fix it, but he won't. He'll break it. This former construction worker turned madman is going around and breaking shop signs around town. Bring him in for a bounty of 500 red bills.

Attleton
Candy Man: A man with a mobile sellers cart seems to be going around and selling candy to kids. There's something wrong with the candy, as the kids keep getting sick after eating it. No deaths reported, but parents are on the look out and would like to enlist the help of bounty hunters. 800 red bills being offered to the first person who brings this man to justice.

Everglade
Graveyard Gambler: A graverobber has been stealing valuables from graves and gambling them away in underground parlors. Witnesses say that they've seen a female figure with long brown hair and a limp leaving local graveyards in the dead of night. Catch the thief and turn her into authorities for 1,250 red bills.

Fayren
Fair Lady Shanksalot: The nickname seemed to have stuck after a local tavern owner started rambling about Sir Shanksalot around town, which was quickly amended to "Lady" after reports of seeing a maidly figure nearby multiple crimes. Named Shanksalot for the amount of stabbing this knife-wielding criminal committed, many of the bodies have been found with both stabwounds and wolf bites. It's suspected that wolves have been feeding on the victims and that some form of bait may have been used to attract the wolves there, but this part of the theory is pure speculation. Other reports claim that similar happenings have occurred in Genessia as well. The bounty is set at 2,000 red bills.
[*OOC NOTE: For the Fayren bounty this week the character is Sakuya Izayoi, contact Critiana to plot the completion of this bounty! ]


Nova City
Passive Aggressive Graffitier: The name isn't the greatest, but it's very specific. Someone has been leaving passive aggressive graffiti messages on signs, flying cars, the sides of buildings, and the moving sidewalks as a protest to.. who knows? Maybe this person is just really passive aggressive. The graffiti looks bad though, so the Graffitier has a bounty of 400 red bills on their head.
