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: Bridget Frostheart, Clive Dove, Hanayo Koizumi, Stefano, Mewtwo, Amu Hinamori, Sansa Stark, Kaname Kuran, Gintoki Sataka. ]

Nova City's Heroes
Nova City appears to have been saved by a company lead by David Haller. Known associates include the following citizens: Adeline (Schnee Company security employee), Satsuki Kiryuin (Nova City Guardian), Koishi Koimeiji (known associate of Nova City's City Guardian Satsuki Kiryuin), Tepet Ejava (Genessian City Guardian), Dark Adonis Vyers (Attleton City Guardian), Zoisite (Attleton gardener), and Chihiro Fujisaki (Programmer/Tutor-for-Hire). The five cities honor these fine heroes for their assistance and Nova City will be awarding each of them with medals of honor in a ceremony at City Hall on Wednesday, May 20th at noon. Lunch will be provided to attendees of the ceremony. This cross-city collaboration truly shows how when we work together, any problem is solvable.
Coconut Crab Case Cracked!
Thanks to two bounty hunters by the names of Lucy and Natsu, the population of Coconut Crabs has gone down to more reasonable levels. Other fish in the area are starting to return to normal levels, and luckily the fish market in Fayren is starting to thrive again. Fayren thanks the citizens who helped!
Guardian Terms Are Coming Up- Election Watch 2015 Begins!

Fayren's Forest Not Recommended for Picnics
Reports of disappearances in the forests of Fayren have become more common, though it is unknown if they are linked to the sudden appearance of strange wisps that some witnesses have reported seeing.
"The were the darkest thing I've ever seen, as if staring into nothing instead of into any color, yet somehow it seemed as if they were looking right through me," said local tailor Jeremiah Sanders when asked to describe what the being looked like.
We are not yet sure what these are, but if you see one, it is not recommended that you approach them. Some cases of extreme freezing and an emotional emptiness have been felt amongst those who have come into contact with the strange wisps. Some cases of frostbite have occurred with those who tried to maintain contact with the mysterious wisps.

Everglade
The Weeping Lady: Witnesses noted a mysterious figure in white being located at the site of various kidnappings of children. When someone tries to approach her, she seems to disappear into thin air.
