NEWSPAPER - SUNDAY ON MONDAY 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: Rapunzel, Yuuko Ichihara, Charlotte, Katherine Hillard, Zelos Wilder, Cyrus Crautz, Hikari Yagami, Betelgeuse. ]

Cupid's Kerfuffle!
It looks like the god of poking people in the ass with arrows is in town, but he's had a major mishap and is offering up free drinks and charms to people who return his arrows to him. Sounds like a good deal, this writer may be getting some for myself! Why am I even reporting this? It's time to get arrow hoarding!
Earthquakes Shake Genessia
On January 30th and 31st, a series of earthquakes rocked Genessia's world. It appears that there was some structural damage done in the south-eastern corner of the city, but repairs are scheduled to occur post-haste. Live down there? Maybe think about remodeling in your time of need! The firing range will be closed until February 3rd to repair damages caused by seismic activity, but Genessia Tribune will faithfully stay open despite some damages-- just a day later than normal, sorry folks!
Genessia Groundhog to Give Groundbreaking Guidance

Dear Wallabutts,
Wallabies may seem like interesting pets, but if you can only afford the wallaby, young 9 year old, then your parents are right. Keep saving until you have at least three times the cost of a wallaby so that you will be able to afford its costs and needs. You can't purchase a pet you can't afford to take care of after you purchase it. Remember: Pets cost money to start, and money to continue taking care of. This is a lesson that you learn at pet level 8. Good luck, Wallabutts. One day.
I Feel You,
Addy
