NEWSPAPER - SUNDAY EDITION (From 3/1- see events for why it's not the right day)
[ 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: Anna of Arendell, Mayu Nozaki, Mikoshiba Mikoto, Toph Bei Fong, Minako Aino, Salama, Dracula, Gippal, Karla. ]

Strange Lights
Another strange light show appeared in Nova City, this one bigger than ever before! It looked like a huge aurora borealis in the sky, traveling across the Nova City airways. Sources were unable to keep up with the light to see where it went and the Genessia Tribune is offering 500 red bills to the first person who can give us more information. The last lights reported occurred on Monday, February 23rd, and lasted for a mere 10 minutes. This new light occurrence appeared to have lasted for approximately 45 minutes.
Our reports show that similar lights have started appearing across Genessia skies as well, though nowhere near as prominent as Nova City's.
Festival of Chocolate - Postponed by Being Lost and Monsters!
Many people may notice with the recently apprehended Candy Man gone from Attleton, the tone about candy seems to have changed! In celebration of the town's new freedom to eat candy without fear of their children getting sick, Attleton has decided to host its first annual Festival of Chocolate. An entire street will be blocked off for chocolate tasting from various vendors, a homemade We've almost done it. chocolate contest, chocolate pie eating contests, a chocolate art sculpture exhibit, culinary demos by top Attleton Chefs, and more. Sponsorship spots are still open for advertising your business or setting up your own chocolate-related booth at the festival.
The Attleton Festival of Chocolate was set to take place on Sunday, March 8th but due to the fact that the city is stuck in an apparently growing labyrinth, it's been postponed indefinitely. The labyrinth appears to be made of huge stone walls that grow as if they were a rapidly-developing organism. We lost three reporters to the maze, but have still maintained contact with at least one. Our reporter tells us that strange monsters are prone to chasing him through the maze, every time he suspects he may be close to finding the exit, but he also admits that might just be his hope. Otherwise, it's just a random attack and may come at any time if he does not hold onto that hope. Our other two reporters reported hearing a hissing sound, much like a snake, before they mysteriously were cut off from any communication with us.
We hope our reporters return home safely and advise Genessia residents to avoid Attleton until the situation is cleared.
Ted Talksing
Dear Ted,
Lately I've been struggling with confidence. I've been told I'll never get anywhere in life if I don't have a lot of it. Is that true? Is the way to get ahead just believing in yourself?

Ted Talk
Dear Ted,
Lately I've been struggling with confidence. I've been told I'll never get anywhere in life if I don't have a lot of it. Is that true? Is the way to get ahead just believing in yourself?
Certainly not! Let me tell you a tale of a place where that kind of thinking leads you.
For starters, it is very white. Why? Certainly not for its purity, or moral uprightness. Likely because it is calming, for the residents there are very excitable. Doctors tend to like that color, and well they should, for they roam its halls with a stoic demeanor and an eye to soothe. Who do they attend? Madmen.
Now, some silly people say that they find beauty in madness. They'd be well advised to talk to their physicians; doubtless they'd disabuse some notions. But one thing that is certainly interesting is their tendency to act. They are always playing parts, and if they do not play them well, they certainly play them consistently. They'll Things are going as planned. claim to be a poached egg, or a man at the center of an intricate web of conspiracy, or God. What runs through all of these acts is an unswerving current of confidence. Indeed, if an iota of doubt could pierce their sickly minds, all might be well.
But we need not go so far as even that. There are many forms overconfidence takes. If they do not sap one's wits, they will certainly try another's patience. You know the type. One who is so sure of their Only a little more time and we'll see. imaginary talents that they're always looking to terrify another audience. The baker who serves burnt treats. The writer who quit his day job far too soon. The musician that makes one plead for deafness. Worst of all, the overwrought and verbose writer that none wish to read!
Doubtless, there are some benefits. Like attracts like, and there are those whose opinion of one are so unformed that they will simply mimic whatever one happens to think of themselves.
But I should rather steer away from such mental self-reflection. Do not be led to the opposite error; humility means not thinking less of one's self, but think of one's self less. If you can quite forget yourself, your attitude of life will be breezy and free. The cure for a big head is an empty one.

Genessia:
Frigus Fultus: Someone has been going around turning the refrigerators and freezers down to the point that various businesses have had their food ruined from extremely quick frostbite. It's unknown how the culprit or culprits are breaking into restaurants and ruining their supplies, but something needs to be done quick! The Genessian Restaurant Association is offering 2,500 red bills to the first person to catch this icy jerk!
Attleton
There is no bounty for Attleton this week. Attleton residents would post a bounty, but there appears to be a labyrinth and they can't reach the office with more information. Perhaps saving a few citizens in the labyrinth from the creatures within will earn you a few gratitude bucks?
Everglade
Who You Gonna Call?: Not the Ghostbusters. Why? Because these ghosts are dressed up like ghostbusters! Apparently they died during a Halloween party 10 years ago and have recently started busting other resident ghosts in the area who have been minding their business and haunting their own places! It's a dangerous time to be a ghost right now, so some of Everglade's paranormal residents have offered up a bounty of 1,500 red bills to take care of these ne'er-dead-wells!
Fayren
The Toll of Wedding Bells: A forbidden marriage between a troll and the blacksmith's wife had been underway when the unthinkable happened. A mysterious masked criminal swooped in from the church ceiling and stole both rings as they sparkled with beautiful diamonds right from the ceremony.

Upon investigation, authorities found that the gunshot came from the opposite direction of the masked criminal. Solve the murder and return the rings to the grieving fiance for 8,000 red bills.
Nova City
The Case of the Crow Bowl: Nova City has suffered a mysterious theft. A prized bowl made from an asteroid that was being transported to the local space museum for display was stolen the same night as the strange lights.
