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: Tifa Lockhart, Sebastian Michaelis, Lenalee Lee, Artanis, Ayame Sasaki, Dustin Brooks, Chiaki Nanami, Blaze.]

Spooky Scary
An old home in Fayren has recently been reconstructed as a haunted house for the month of October. Mages have enchanted the house with various spells to help turn into something that all might enjoy. There are animated objects, ghostly images that seem to appear out of nowhere, illusionary rooms, and maybe other things.
A small fee is required for going inside of the house, but it is something that most everyone would be able to afford. This reporter has already entered the place three times today. Each because of the magic and enchantments, each trip is different and unique, so going in again and again doesn’t make it any less enjoyable.
Smashing Pumpkins
Farmers in Fayren have reported numerous pumpkins on their farm going missing. For the last week, they have been checking on their crops to find that many have been taken. The pumpkins have turned up however.
They have been found smashed against the side of houses, roofs and businesses. City Guard are speculating that this is all being done by rowdy teenagers in the city. While not high on their priority list, they are still investigating and keeping an eye out for anyone perpetrating this particular act of mischief.
Many of the city guard are working over time in hopes of stopping an incident like the one that happened last year from even having a chance of starting.
Halloween Cheat Sheet
We have complied a a all list of Halloween related things that will be occurring this month. For those of you that need a costume, you won't find any city lacking in a costume shop, as they have all been up since the beginning of the month. Some even offer discounts for multiple buys.
Then there are the theaters in the various cities. Many are playing old and new horror movies after nightfall, with the price for a ticket for an old movie being less than a new one. Sonic you are interested in some cheesy horror movies, those would be your place to hit!
There is the Haunted House in Fayren that as mentioned earlier. A Costume Party in Genessia City on October 15th as seen in the flyer attached to this paper. Axiom Games in Genessia City is also hosting a specialized paintball match throughout the month! It's Blue VS Green, with those on the Green team being "zombies". You become a zombie if you get hit by one of their paintballs.
Trick and Trick is having a sale of candy. When you buy a certain amount, you will get some free. But it's only for a limited time. So if you can't wait until the 31st to treat your sweet tooth, then that might be the place to go to get the best bang for your buck!
