NEWSPAPER - BIWEEKLY 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: Zelos Wilder, Mikasa Ackerman, Patchouli Knowledge, Yui Kusanagi, Anduin Wrynn, Yugi Muto. ]
Gripped By Fear
During Hallow's Week, Fayren was placed under the grips of a spell that made citizens experience some of their worst fears. The spell was powerful and even some of the strongest magic users in Fayren fell under its grips.
The incident was investigated and a suspect has arisen as a lead. The suspect in question is named Badilwyn the Brutish Sorcerer. Badilwyn the Brutish Sorcerer is a name that many in Fayren know. He had been placed under arrest and was being held in a prison designed for criminal sorcerers, but he was somehow able to get out of his prison. No one knows how he managed to accomplish this, but that is under investigation as well. More on this story as it unfolds!
Nights of Whimsy
Next month, the Genessia Center Arts Theater will be holding a special even. They are calling it their Nights of Whismy. All throughout the month on Friday and Saturday night, they will be putting on a play based on a Fairy Tale. These include but are not limited to Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, Godlilocks and the Three Bears, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and a few others. If you are interested, you can go down to Genessia Center Arts Theater and sign the audition sheet for the respective play that you are interested in. The director for the play that you are interested in will contact you about coming in to audition.
Genessia PD
The police in Genessia City exist, but they don't have much presence. Guardian David Haller is looking to change that as he announced yesterday that he would be revamping the police into a full force. He is currently in the process of building a bigger, better Police Station as well as hiring on newer police officers. It should also be noted that he is on the look out for anyone willing to join the force or help train the newbies or work with them in anyway. He has stated that Gestalt, a superhero group that he formed, will work hand and hand with them. Though both are autonomous of each other.
So if you have martial arts or any sort of hand to hand skills or skills with firearms, he's interested in your help. You'll be compensated for your time.
Upcoming Election
It's almost that time again! Guardian Elections will be happening next month. The current Guardians are as followed:
Genessia City: The man with the hair, David Haller.
Attleton: Not quite the Final Boss, Midboss.
Everglade: Mr. Wax Poetic Himself, Theodore Satchel.
Fayren: The Littlest Guardian, Satori Komeiji.
Nova City: The refined and elegant, Satsuki Kiryuin.
They are all expected to run again unless they make the announcement that they aren't interested. So be on the look out next month and don't miss your chance to vote!
Ladies Night [Paid Advertisement]
The club Subzero in Nova City will be having ladies night every Friday and Saturday this month. Any women that come to the club won't only get in for free, but they will get their first two drinks of the night for free as well. The club recently opened and with the booming amount of busy that they've had, they have decided that this is a perfect way to increase thief profits.
So if you find yourself lonely or a Friday or Saturday night, or you just want to go out with you friends and have some fun, Subzero is the place that you want to be.

Business/Service: Amagi Inn
City: Genessia
Review Title: Quaint and Quiet
Amagi Inn is one of the easiest places to find for newcomers to Genessia. It’s located conveniently right next to the Bay and seems to have a positive relationship with the nearby Welcoming Center, which will direct you back to the Inn. Not sure what deal they cut there, but it works out. Service is friendly, though the girl in charge feels a little strict somehow. When I want to come into an Inn like that, I’m looking to be made to feel like family. Otherwise I’d go to a commercial hotel. Food was great and local parking is A+.
They could also do with some thicker walls if you know what I’m saying.

Business/Service: Aphrodite’s Love Matching & Arcade
City: Nova City
Review Title: Lacks Leadership, Workers are Spazzes
Not what I’m looking for in a matchmaking service. A matchmaking service should make you feel ready for love; a new adventure is on the horizon and they’re going to help you find it. This isn’t the feeling I got here. I’m not even sure who’s in charge, but someone needs to get on it. The place is really going downhill without proper management. The redheaded guy there is pretty cool, but he loses that same cool just as quickly. Not sure what’s wrong with him.
Rating: ★★☆☆☆
Business/Service: Bright Sky Diner
City: Genessia
Review Title: Spice it up a notch!
Great spot for breakfast but last time I went I ordered the Eggs Benedict and it was definitely a 6/10. Missing the stars on that particular dish because they were all out of sriracha and jalapenos! What kind of place skimps on hot sauce? Sorry but some of us like a little flavor in our food. The service was pretty alright. Sometimes you get really quiet people, other times it’s like someone put caffeine pills in the water. Really inconsistent, but never really bad.
Rating: ★★★☆☆
Business/Service: Cat’s Eye Cafe
City: Genessia
Review Title: Sweet tooth satisfied
I’m not really a tea person, so I can’t speak for the drinks but the sweets in this place are always top notch in terms of texture, portion size, and appearance. The staff is always really friendly and sweet. I love going here for a morning pick-me-up.

Business/Service: Genessia Center Arts Theater
City: Genessia
Review Title: Needs some acting classes…
…and not for the General Public! The performers really need to get their game together if they want to impress anyone. Project from the diaphragm people! We can’t hear you unless you speak into the microphone and if you look like you’re trying to do it, you’re not acting very well. Get with the program or the program you handed me when I came in is going right in the garbage.

Review Title: Souls much warmer than the season they opened
I was a little worried when they decided to open up a swim club at the end of the swimming season. I haven’t actually gone swimming yet (too cold to want to) but when I peeked in everyone seemed friendly and active. They’re very enthusiastic. They could probably use a snack bar or something if they want to keep people there for longer periods of time or to have it be more of a hangout than a place only for pros.

Business/Service: Sunfire Repair Shop
City: Nova City
Review Title: #1 Cause of Intentionally Broken Machines
I went in to get my car radio fixed. I wasn’t aware that repair companies only hired models- talk about man meat. They got the job done fine but I don’t think that’s why they’re always busy.

By the time she flips through to the right place, her right eye twitches a fraction. So does her third eye. "Gods, what sort of fool would-..." Her mind descended quickly into annoyed, spiteful grumbling. She'd have to write a letter to the editors about that.
