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: Conan Edogawa, Hikari Yagami, Mimi Tachikawa, Krillin, Juvia Lockser, Tifa Lockhart, Balthier, Aqua.]
Snowmageddon
It’s looking like the weather forecast for the rest of the month in every city will be snow. We hope you have all bought your winter clothes, because it is looking like they will see a lot of use for the rest of the month. Many people seem happy to welcome the coming winter wonderland, but not all are probably happy with the cold weather. Whatever camp you are in, just make sure to stay warm!
Holiday Cheer
It's no surprise to see all of the cities getting into the Christmas spirit with the holiday right around the corner. Down town areas are being decked out in decorations as well as business and entire buildings.
Malls are being injected with the Christmas spirit as well, with winter wonderland train rides being set up for the kids. The holiday has mostly everyone in high spirits. Though mysteriously, people that didn't even decorate their homes are finding decorations suddenly appearing on them. Could this be the work of Santa?
They can be removed, by they just seem to reappear moments later. Mistletoes are being found placed all around the city too. In businesses and homes. Trying to remove the will be met with the same phenomena of them reappearing. But they appear to be harmless, so don't let it all bother you.
Letter From Mr. Claus
[This letter is attached to each paper that a character gets.]
Oh ho ho. Hello, [Your character's name]! Have you been good this year? I hope so. And if you haven't, there is still time to end up on the nice list instead of the naughty list! It's never too late to perform good deeds.
You have probably seen Christmas decorations around your home. Don't worry, that's my doing! I asked my helper elves to make up these decorations. Don't worry if someone naughty removes or destroys them, the elves infused them with magic so they will come right back.
So I hope you have a merry Christmas!
Special Note: The decoration level that Santa provided is up to your characters. He could have hung a wreath or put up a small Christmas tree or decorated their place from top to bottom with lights, Christmas train sets and all other manner of decoration.
