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: Anastasia Leonheart, Ozpin, Roman Torchwick, Mewtwo, Soma Yukihira, Terra Branford, Athrun Zala.]
Vanished Mages
In Fayren, several mages have turned up missing. This just after the fact of 10 being returned after being kidnapped by the Hands of Decay. The mages in questions names are Ruith, Gaeleath, Kylantha, Aymon, Kellam and Dasyra. An investigation into their whereabouts is underway.
All are known to have gone missing within 48 hours of each other. A further connection that was found between them all is that they or their families have accepted refuge in light of the Hands of Decay targeting mages. This has lead some to believe that they are responsible for their disappearances as well.
Should anyone have any information pertaining to the mages or their whereabouts, please bring the information to the proper authorities.
It Lurks
A creature lurking in the waters of Everglade has always been an urban legend. Believers have always claimed to have seen something in it. Or they have said they knew someone who knew someone who had seen the creature in there first hand. But there has never been any evidence to back it up.
Rumors have started to circulate once more as people have made several claims of having something to missing near the water. That and people saying they have heard splashing in the water at odd hours. The cause of which is still a mystery. However, No person or anything significant has been reported as having gone missing yet.
While it's currently unknown if there is actually something living in the water or not, but people are being advised to be careful when they are near it. In case this turns out to be more than just rumors.
Guardian Series
Star Toys, a toy company in Nova City has just released a new line of Action Figures. The set is being called their Guardian Set, and as the name suggest, the toys share the same likeness of the current city Guardians. The names of the Guardian's aren't used, for example, the one based on the current Nova City Guardian is just aptly called "Nova City Guardian". All of the other figures are similarly named.
If you go out searching for the figures, you will have a hard time finding them, as they appear to have sold out in all stores. You may be able to track them down from an individual collector, but be prepared to pay well above market price for the figure!
Fastlane
Illegal street racing has been running rampant in Genessia City as of late. The GCPD have attempted to crack down on these circles to bring it to an end. The issue has recently come to light after a local man was killed. Rodney “Hotrod” Lang, a mechanic in Genessia City was killed this while engaging in street racing.
No foul play is suspected to be involved. From the look of the scene, investigators have come to the conclusion that it was Rodney’s own actions that led to his death. While taking a corner, he lost control of his car and it spun out and crashed. Rodney was killed on impact. This writer would like for this to be a lesson to all would be street racers. Engaging in such an act is reckless and you not only endanger yourself, but others as well.

While looking at their Wine menu, I checked for Qaly Classic and they didn’t have it. What sort of place doesn’t carry Qaly Classic?! I finished my meal and promptly walked out without paying. Like hell will I pay money to eat at a place that doesn’t carry my favorite wine.
