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: Jean Kirstein, Danny Fenton, Kefka Palazzo, Toshizo Hijikata, Stefano, Linda, Rapunzel. ]

Dragon Epidemic Spreads
With the recent outbreak of kidnappings of virgins in Fayren, everyone has been on edge. However, Fayren isn't the only place where these kidnappings have been happening. Reports of similar disappearances have been cropping up across Everglade. Taken at night, there have been some signs of struggle appearing throughout the area near where the victims were last seen. Gashes in cement, trees, and other surroundings that appear to be claw-marks have been found in addition to scorched bits of scenery as well, leading local authorities to believe that these incidents may be connected to the dragon outbreak in Fayren.
Cult's "God" Appears in Genessia
The strange cult that we witnessed last week appears to have made themselves known, and their leader appears to be local resident Kefka Palazzo. With a spiffy new makeover, he appears to have launched his cult into a murder, theft, and general violence spree. Lock your doors and windows tonight, folks, we're in for a rough ride until this is sorted out.

Dear Addy,
I worked at the local Cinemaplex until recently. I'm a fairly good looking man and the past two weeks I started getting a dozen roses delivered each day, with a cryptic compliment to my looks signed only with initials. "You're more beautiful than these roses" or "Hot damn I need to watch out for your thorns if you look that lovely!" I quit because I think it's a stalker, but the roses apparently kept coming. Is this person just slow???
Sincerely, Delivery Failed

Dear Delivery Failed,
That's kind of creepy and very possibly a stalker, but if they're still coming, they might not have been for you if they're still coming in. Seriously, you've been stealing someone else's stalker-flowers.
I Feel You,
Addy
Dear Stalker-Flower Sender,
Grow a pair (top or bottom, whichever floats your boat) and say hello in person. You're acting like a stalker. The secret admirer schtick hasn't been cute since the 50's.
I Don't Feel You AT ALL,
Addy
