[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: Angelo, Emerald Sustrai, Sena Kashiwazaki, Yugi Mutou, Mariko Ishiwatari, Weiss Schnee.]

New System On The Block

The new Playbox 5 has released in Nova City and has completely sold out in game stores. If you didn’t preorder the system, you’ll have a difficult time finding one for unless you are willing to pay triple the retail price. The system launches with several new games, which are still in stock in most stores that have sold out of the system.

Though the last store we talked to said they were close to being out of the new dating sim game Honey Sugar Sweet 9. The game is still available on the last generator system as well.

Ghost Writer

A new erotica novel has been punished for the Dear Of Yearning book series in Everglade. With this book, the author has finally revealed themselves to be an actual ghost. They apparently died a few years back and always wanted to be an author in life. So they decided to become one in death with the help of a Medium.

The book series has been well received and the critics have been raving about it and yearning for the next book in the series! The author has said it would be at least another year before the next book in the series comes out, but they promise it will be just as good as the previous books.

Title: Cinder Falls and Fizzles
Info: Nova City Guardian Weiss Schnee lead a team on Tuesday, May 16th to officially imprison criminal Cinder Fall on charges of theft, extortion, blackmail, coercion, and illegal occupation of a Nova City hotel. A plethora of evidence was provided including hotel security cameras, eye witness statements, receipts, destruction of Nova City property and police force robotics, trespassing, and several other charges. Cinder Fall was said to be the leader of criminals that Guardian Schnee recently exonerated, but we were unable to find evidence of their cooperation in our investigation.

In the course of this big bust, the Nova City Power Plant suffered losses due to cooperation from some of Cinder's criminal minions in an attempt to break through to the former Nova City subarchway of Beacon Academy. Beacon Academy was lost in the arrest.

"It's been a long, hard road, but you know what? Nova City deserves to be safe. Some criminals are willing to come forward and attempt to work with me to make this a safer place, but there are others who refuse to come clean from what they've done. Cinder deserves what she has, and frankly? The prison she's in isn't a bad place. I hope that she works out her issues and is able to become a productive member of society one day," said City Guardian Weiss Schnee.

Guardian Schnee's policies regarding criminals have been controversial in the past, but it's about time she started showing a good record for putting criminals behind bars. Nova City thanks Guardian Schnee and the other members of her team, including Deputy Guardians Troy Dantes and Artanis, same-world-hunters Jaune Arc, Flynt Coal, Sun Wukong, Ruby Rose, former City Guardian Satsuki Kiryuin, Schnee Company Security Team member Levi Ackerman, and Fairy Tail member Levy McGarden for helping to keep Nova City safe.

Bounty Claim Form

Which Bounty: Night Prowler
Who: Senji and anyone who wants in!
Additional Information: Gonna do a log for this one!

Roman wants in on this on principle because fuck vigilantes, man!!!!!

If you're up for it, of course. Then we just have to figure out how to get these two twits to work together. Alternatively, compete for the bounty and only cooperate on accident and/or out of desperation.
