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: -.]
Reality TV
Local TV studio in Nova City is looking to start p a reality TV show. They are calling for people to send in resumes and audition tapes so they can be filtered through so they can decide on who or what the reality TV show will be about. Talking to those involved in the show, we’ve gotten word that they’ve been swapped with an overwhelming number of submissions.
We’ve spoken to one applicant. They work for the Nova City Vehicle Department, and they say you wouldn’t believe how exciting their life gets. A morgue worker told us that those they deal with the dead, things get pretty lively with them too. We will wait to see who ends up being selected.
Summer Sales
It seems like we might be in for a hot summer this year around. At least that’s what is being predicted. Most don’t seem to mind the idea of a hot summer while a lot of others are fans of Winter. Regardless, due to the news, many shops have started placing discounts on their summer clothes, hoping to beat out their competition in sales.
It seems to be working, as some stores in Genessia City and Nova City are reporting record high sales. So if you are planning to spend some time out in the summer heat, it might not be such a terrible idea to stop in at one of these shops and pick up some things.

| You will experience some important insights at work today... this is a day when you will be able to see things that others have missed, or have ignored.

Energy Level: 1 Stress Level: 2 Love Level: 3 Best sign for Romance: Pisces Passion Level: 1 Best sign for Passion: Aries Today's Themes: Spirituality - Subconscious - Secrets | This is a successful day for many of you, with your efforts being fruitful. Many of you are in a very adventurous mood, willing to leap about all over the place in an effort to both achieve your goals, and to enjoy some variety. Energy Level: 5 Stress Level: 5 Love Level: 3 Best sign for Romance: Aries Passion Level: 2 Best sign for Passion: Sagittarius Today's Themes: Friends - Wishes - Recreation | Your personal interests are strong at the moment. You are very attractive at the moment, and people are taking note. Singles will have a great time, many of whom are in search of love (and may even travel to make it happen). Couples will expand their social circle. Energy Level: 3 Stress Level: 5 Love Level: 1 Best sign for Romance: Cancer Passion Level: 5 Best sign for Passion: Virgo Today's Themes: Work - Health | Many of you are not concerned with the status quo at work, and you're wandering off in your own directions, interested in seeking out the things that interest you. You're not interested in those who try to knock you down, because you simply don't care for their negative comments. If they're not interested in supporting you, you're not going to give them enough time to complain... you'll be off on your journey by the time they open their mouths. Energy Level: 1 Stress Level: 5 Love Level: 2 Best sign for Romance: Aquarius Passion Level: 2 Best sign for Passion: Libra Today's Themes: Change - Regeneration - Passion |

A change in mental attitude will get you a long way today. It's an important moment, when you must choose between sticking with an old idea or belief that holds you back, or being brave and adopting a new and more successful attitude. It's never easy, but don't forget this: you have achieved a lot in the past, but you can't really take full advantage of it, or build upon it, until you learn to appreciate it and use it properly. We are given things for a reason, so learn from what you have. | Love is long and winding road. You may have felt that things are going too slowly lately, and that you have been working hard for love. But your destination is in sight, and you are nearly there... things will begin to get easier very soon, and you will be glad that you were patient with love. Energy Level: 4 Stress Level: 3 Love Level: 1 Best sign for Romance: Capricorn Passion Level: 5 Best sign for Passion: Aquarius Today's Themes: Friends - Wishes - Recreation | Action must be balanced with clear thinking today, otherwise you could find yourself running around in circles, not really getting anything done. Match your inward desires with your outward actions... if you can do this, you'll be working in perfect sync with all of life's offers and options today. Energy Level: 4 Stress Level: 2 Love Level: 4 Best sign for Romance: Virgo Passion Level: 4 Best sign for Passion: Taurus Today's Themes: Self-image - Sensuality | Among the many things that you will have to juggle during this busy day, you'll have to face a human obstacle that could lead to an argument. Hold your ground, and don't allow the other person to walk all over you. Energy Level: 4 Stress Level: 3 Love Level: 4 Best sign for Romance: Taurus Passion Level: 1 Best sign for Passion: Leo Today's Themes: Home - Family - Relatives |
| Sagittarius | Capricorn | Aquarius | Pisces |
| Relationships probably won't be as smooth as you'd like today. While your formal relationships are probably doing fine, your more personal relationships are proving to be quite a juggling act. Try to keep up, and avoid getting upset. Everyone seems to want a piece of you today, and you'll simply have to prioritise your time, and communicate with people as best as you can. Energy Level: 2 Stress Level: 2 Love Level: 5 Best sign for Romance: Sagittarius Passion Level: 3 Best sign for Passion: Libra Today's Themes: Friends - Wishes - Recreation | You will find yourself going out of your comfort zone to make money, and improve your career status. You're not being frivolous, however, you're being quite wise and controlled about things, making good decisions. | Family life is still quite a juggling act at the moment. There is plenty to do in your home, and you are spreading yourself between work, friends, a partner, house work, etc. Stay focused, and just try to get through the day! Energy Level: 5 Stress Level: 3 Love Level: 2 Best sign for Romance: Leo Passion Level: 4 Best sign for Passion: Pisces Today's Themes: Romance - Marriage - Partnerships | For many of you, Love's theme of late has been about change and adaptation. Many changes are still taking place in your love life, but mostly in your attitudes towards love and relationships. Today should see the toughest step being taken. Energy Level: 1 Stress Level: 4 Love Level: 5 Best sign for Romance: Taurus Passion Level: 4 Best sign for Passion: Leo Today's Themes: Communication - Intellectual pursuits |

Huh, that could be kinda interesting. He'd be really iffy about working with kids, for emotional and legal reasons. It's not like minors can sign legally binding waivers or anything. She'd have to pinky promise to let him call the shots.

"No can do, squirt. Taking a kid with me makes me responsible for what happens to you. And that's just what I'll be: responsible. As in, responsible for every little detail. As in, you won't do jack 'till I say so. There's a good chance this sicko has guard dogs who would just as soon tear your arm off as look at you. So unless you got some magical superpower that can recondition dogs to not be rabies-ridden killers, then I'll do what I have to to stop this guy. Even if that means going through his furry friends. No if's, and's, or but's.
So if you wanna go with me on this, you gotta swear on your mother's grave you'll do exactly what I say, when I say it. My way or the highway."
