[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: Dairine Callahan, Portgas D.

New Medical Center On The Rise
A new hospital will be opening up in Nova City at the end of the month. The hospital named Gold Nebula Hospital has been in the works for some time now and construction has taken a while as well. The hospital was delayed several times over the last few months due to mysterious accidents on the work-site and building materials going missing.
However, construction still managed to continue and now the end of the road is finally in sight. Gold Nebula Hospital Is expected to start hiring for positions by the end of the month. As it looks now, nothing else should occur to delay things any longer, though given the history on the work-site, one can never be too sure.
Bank Robbery
Life Essence Holdings, a Blood Bank in Everglade was robbed yesterday night. While they weren’t cleaned out, a large amount of blood was still taken, leading Life Essence Holdings to put out a call for donors. While people are free to donate for free, they are offering a small amount of money to those that wish to accept.
Holders of rarer blood types might receive more than the standard level of payment for their blood. A representatives of Life Essence Holdings has said an internal investigation is going on, though they suspect that the ones behind the crime may in fact be Vampires. It wouldn’t be the first time such creatures have robbed their establishment. Vampires or creatures that sustain their existence with blood have always been welcomed to purchase it from them. However, some refuse to. And some would rather claim it from a victim while still warm.
Super Force MasqueRangers
A new television show, Super Force MasqueRangers has started auditions in Nova City. The show centers around a group of teenagers who are hand picked to guard Space City. The teens total five in all and are given special suits and powers to aid in their battle against the forces of evil.
Fama Talent Agency's Yashiro Tsurugi has already secured a role on the show, with the casting director saying he gave an amazing audition. The show is expected to start filming as soon as all the roles are filled and production of a toy line is expected to follow soon afterwards.
No word on how many episodes or seasons the show will have. This will likely be decided on once the pilot is produced and aired.

A new section in the paper that will probably only appear when the Horoscope writer isn't feeling lazy.
| Aries | Taurus | Gemini | Cancer |
| You'll be juggling your finances today, trying to get your bank balance in order, and possible your career efforts. You need to focus, get good advice, and be more careful with your spending, or you could end up out of pocket. If you're going to make a large purchase today, do your homework, because you may be getting a bad deal, there may be a better price elsewhere, or you may be stretching your fiances beyond their limits. Energy Level: 5 Stress Level: 5 Love Level: 1 Best sign for Romance: Taurus Passion Level: 3 Best sign for Passion: Cancer Today's Themes: Travel - Philosophy - Religion - Education | Unlike earlier, you are more focused on love, and on making your relationships like a beautiful work of art. You are trying extra hard at the moment, but you are doing it with your own sense of style and class... that is, you're not being overbearing, you're just doing what comes naturally to you. People will appreciate your relationship art. | For you, love is idealistic today. Many of you may revert back to that old dream of romance and love from your teenage or childhood years. Such perfect love is a figment of the imagination... that is, love can be grand and happy and wonderful, but it's also hard work. You may be ignoring the hard work aspect today, and focussing too heavily on the sugary, sweet aspect. Energy Level: 2 Stress Level: 2 Love Level: 4 Best sign for Romance: Pisces Passion Level: 2 Best sign for Passion: Aries Today's Themes: Travel - Philosophy - Religion - Education | Your current struggle will soon give way to success and contentment. It won't be easy, but if you face your fears, and stand up for what you believe in, you will feel a lot better about yourself. You should find that you're not the only one with this current struggle, or who is under pressure, so you may find it beneficial to combine forces.

| Leo | Virgo | Libra | Scorpio |
Money seems like less of a problem at the moment, but it can't seem to help you with a particular problem or delay. Despite this, it seems that money is causing some headaches... that is, it's not that you need MORE money, it's more a case of being a little too cautious with it. Budgeting is great, but every budget should include some freedom and fun. | You may be worried about a family member, or close friend today. You are probably not sure how to help them, or if indeed you should help them at all. You may not have been able to sleep last night, or could find it difficult to sleep tonight, as many dreams and concerns interrupt your usual pattern. Energy Level: 1 Stress Level: 1 Love Level: 2 Best sign for Romance: Libra Passion Level: 2 Best sign for Passion: Aquarius Today's Themes: Home - Family - Relatives | Some of you will have a concern or two about a current relationship. If you think it's wise, try to talk about it, and discover how the other person feels. You have to remember that some of your concerns may not be the same as the person in question. Energy Level: 4 Stress Level: 2 Love Level: 2 Best sign for Romance: Aquarius Passion Level: 5 Best sign for Passion: Sagittarius Today's Themes: Friends - Wishes - Recreation | This is a day when you are in tune with your emotional, nurturing, and spiritual side. You have a desire to create a comfortable environment today, particularly in the home. Your foresight and intuition is strong today.

| Sagittarius | Capricorn | Aquarius | Pisces |
| This is a day when you are able to communicate with family and friends very easily. You find it easy to express yourself today, and you will find it easy to get people's attention. You have the microphone, now what are you going to say? Energy Level: 4 Stress Level: 3 Love Level: 3 Best sign for Romance: Libra Passion Level: 5 Best sign for Passion: Aries Today's Themes: Change - Regeneration - Passion | If someone is putting pressure on you, and trying to make you look bad, consider the truth, then act on what you feel is the right thing to do. Your intuition is strong, and so is your common sense. Avoid pointless arguments, and try not to use what you have learned to harm others. | There is some concern about a family member, a friend, or a group of people. You might be worried about your role in things, or you may be worried about what will happen when you get involved. Be careful not to rush in without full consideration. Some of the people in your life are in an argumentative mood today, so watch out. Energy Level: 3 Stress Level: 2 Love Level: 1 Best sign for Romance: Aries Passion Level: 5 Best sign for Passion: Virgo Today's Themes: Home - Family - Relatives | The balance in your life must be kept steady if you want to achieve your goals this month. It won't be easy, and you will need to use your time in the best possible way, but you can do it if you try. The stars are giving you many opportunities, but they're expecting you to work for them, and make the most out of them. How? By going with the flow, and keeping a close eye on other people, because by helping others, you are helping yourself this month.

Bounty Claims!
Bounty Claim Form
no subject
Who: Karla, anyone who would like to join.
Additional Information: Not that I can think of. A log shouldn't be necessary, but I can do one if desired. (I kind of want to, for the CR.)
no subject
Who: Alleyana Lavellan and possibly others (will update!)
Additional Information: This is my first bounty but I'll probably do a log because the prompt is so interesting/in Alley's wheelhouse. Kudos whoever made it!
no subject
no subject
Who: Liam Randel
Additional Information: In typical Cipher nature, he'll likely "accidentally" kill the target. To officials (or anyone who might spot him), he'll either call self-defense or make up a story that someone else killed the target for him. A log is necessary so someone can be free to witness terrible things happen to a sniper.
no subject
Who: Badou Nails, open to teaming up with someone either intentionally or accidentally.
Additional Information: Will probably log this, though not before I know if he's running this solo or not - if he does do it solo, I'll probably go the nicotine fit route so there's a pissed off redhead dragging in the bounties for people to enjoy xD
no subject
She's not too picky, so he's welcome to come along.
no subject
no subject
Who: Clay (obviously) and I'm totally willing to team up with people
Additional Information: Will definitely log this one
Re: Bounty Claims!
Who: Ted
Additional Information: Open to log. I'm also open to him switching to another bounty if you had your eye on this one, provided there are still murderers open (so any but Everglade). Also willing to log if you want.

Title: Nova City Now Requires Bounty Hunters to be Licensed
Info: Written by Weiss Schnee
All bounty hunters in Nova City are required to be licensed by the City Guardian's office starting September 30th. To obtain a license, contact a member of the City Guardian's office and sign a contract that agrees to the following terms:
1. Under no circumstances is murder an acceptable method for bringing in a bounty target. The bounty hunter must be able to reliably prove self-defense if the bounty dies in the process of being brought in. If they cannot, the bounty hunter will be held responsible.
2. Criminals must be brought to the City Guardian's office for processing. Bounty hunters are not dispensers of justice nor do they have the right to. They're a system designed to capture criminals and assist the justice system.
3. Property damage is restricted to what's necessary in defense rather than destruction in pursuit of a bounty. If any question is brought up about the nature of the property destruction by witnesses or other evidence, the matter shall be investigated and the bounty hunter may be held accountable for their actions if it is found they were creating more of a problem than assisting with one.
4. Bounty hunters are required to act under the scope of Nova City's laws. Just because you have a pendant doesn't mean you'er above them.
5. No trespassing without reasonable belief of distress of a potential victim. If you need to go into a restricted area, present your evidence to the City Guardian's office for approval. If your passage into that area is granted by the Guardian's office- which can be any one of the deputies or myself- then you're welcome to travel into that area. However, private property is that for a reason.
6. If your bounty interferes with a City Guardian's office investigation and you act upon it in the interest of getting the bounty money rather than exacting justice, you will be held accountable for obstruction of justice. This includes stepping beyond police tape without the explicit permission of someone in the Guardian's office. If you aren't trained explicitly to gather evidence, you're a problem whether you want to believe you're helping or not.
7. Bounty targets that are turned over may not be prosecuted if investigation does not provide sufficient evidence to link the target to the crime and they may be released and will not be eligible for bounty capture until evidence is presented. Further pursuit of a former bounty target may result in a minimum of harassment charges against the bounty hunter, further depending on actions taken by the bounty hunter beyond pursuit such as assault, stalking, and so on depending on how far out of bounds you are. Just because someone posts something in the paper doesn't mean that they did the crime unless there's active evidence of it.
8. All crimes committed in Nova City will be given a fair trial to determine their sentence. If the evidence states that they did the crime, they'll be punished to the full extent of the law. Regardless of the person's reason for doing something, if it's been done the victims deserve justice.
Please note that violation of these terms may result in your license being revoked. If you complete bounties without possession of a valid license, you are subject to prosecution as a vigilante by the full extent of Nova City law. This may include fines and jail time depending on the severity of the violation. Licenses are being required in order to help maintain order and increase the accountability of bounty hunters to protect citizens and their rights within Nova City limits. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the City Guardian's office. Thank you.
