[ Everyone's TVs will flicker on and to the Genessia News Channel for a Live Special Report. The Show Host pops out from beneath the podium, a cool tenor voice coming straight from him as he addresses the camera. ]

Hello hello hello hello there, everyone! It's that time of year again, and I don't mean strutting your stuff on the beach in bikinis and banana hammocks! It's the City Guardian Election Debate, coming at you LIVE from the Genessia Center Arts Theatre in Genessia City. This election debate is brought to you by: Effing Big Fat Bubbles! Dip the lasso on a stick into the bucket of glittery soap solution, and voila! Bubbles so big your eyes will pop out! Even your favorite show host got one of these babies, check it out!

[ Here's a photo of Show Host flourishing the bubble wand that's bigger than he is, next to his unimpressed pet llama wearing a blanket with 'Effing Big Fat Bubbles!' printed in the corner. And back to reality. ]

Let's get started! First, congratulations to our continuing Genessia City Guardian, Satou Kuroneko, who ran uncontested this season. This hard-working pink-loving sleep-deprived little lady has all our hearts and everyone knows it! Second of all, a big warm welcome to the new and uncontested Guardians! Taking the reins in Attleton is the lovely and talented Miss Rapunzel! And who do we have taking Nova City by storm? Why it's none other than the unfortunately named General Grievous, stepping up from deputy to sheriff! There are still two cities ready to catch fire if we don't find them with a guardian soon! Let's begin the live debate-slash-Q&A you've all been waiting for. Here's how it works: You all come up with questions to ask each of the Guardians, and each Guardian will have the opportunity to answer it to help you decide which of your candidates is the right one for your city. You can submit your questions via text to the CPU and it will beam them to our stage, or if you're here in the audience, head on up to the podium and ask in person! Now to introduce our candidates.

[ Taking advantage of the theater as the location, the lights dim. Fog machines fill the stage and lightning flashes through it as the roar of thunder introduces Everglade's guardian candidates! ]

Everglade's incumbent guardian Remilia Scarlet takes the stage to duke it out with rock-hating pyromanic wild child Phibrizzo both ready to take on previous Guardian with the infamous contentious laws of the past, Ted Satchel!

[ Some quick fans run across the stage to get rid of the fog as the lightning effects explode into sparkles. Someone in the lighting room is clearly having some fun here with this. Then a real lion walks across the stage to lead in the Fayren candidates!? He roars at center stage before being lead off. ]

Beautiful and mysterious Fayren's first candidate is returning candidate Azura! But she'll have to stand her ground against severely malnourished Papyrus who's kissed more babies than any candidate in the history of the electoral debates!

[ Here comes that glitter balloon, just like last year, even though there aren't any debating candidates for Genessia City. A couple of stage members raise plastic ponchos over their heads, they knew this was coming. And it does. GLITTER! GLITTER EVERYWHERE! IT'LL NEVER WASH OFF NEVER EVER! ]

Now that all of our candidates are sparkling with eagerness [ or glitter ] to debate, take a seat, and let's get started folks! Get into the town hall for this live debate, starting in 30 minutes! You've still got time to pop in, let's go, and don't forget to cast your votes this June 16th at the polls!

[ Just as the candidates start to get comfortable, an assistant walks out with several aprons and a box of hairnets (Papyrus doesn't get one of those), passing one out to each person as a large horseshoe-shaped cooking area rises up out of the stage floor. What's this? ]

What's this???

[ Show host gestures grandly, pretending to be surprised. ]

Well bless my fuzzy soul, it looks like the candidates have a special treat for everyone. Not only will they be answering your questions, they'll be doing so while baking! A! CAKE! Candidates! Step up to your cooking stations, and choose a cake recipe! Let's bake up some questions, folks!

{ OOC NOTE: Anyone can reply to this post with a question they want to ask the potential City Guardians. Each City Guardian candidate is tasked with answering any question on this post. No candidate is required to, but lack of participation may affect public opinion of the candidate! Lack of any activity during the election season will disqualify your candidate, however.

On June 16th, the polls will officially go up and each player will receive one vote per city. More instructions will go up at that time. For now though, the debate is here! }

Hello hello hello hello there, everyone! It's that time of year again, and I don't mean the holidays! It's the City Guardian Election Debate, coming at you LIVE from the Genessia Center Arts Theatre in Genessia City. This election debate is brought to you by: Paw Paws and Props: You bring your pet, we'll take ridiculous model-level pictures of them as superheroes, celebrities, sports players- you name it, we'll make your pet into a star. Last year was the year of superheroes, but things are getting a little more magical. Even your favorite show host got one, check it out!

[ This is not the first time he's done this. One might think Show Host is totally just using this sponsorship as an opportunity to show off his pet llama. And they'd be right. Here's a photo of Show Host riding a llama with a unicorn horn with rainbow glitter hooves flying through space on a piece of bacon. And back to reality. ]

Let's get started! First, congratulations to our continuing Attleton Guardian, Dante, who ran uncontested this season. Looks like the city thought his inferno was too hot to trot! There are still four cities ready to catch fire if we don't find them with a guardian soon! Let's begin the live debate-slash-Q&A you've all been waiting for. Here's how it works: You all come up with questions to ask each of the Guardians, and each Guardian will have the opportunity to answer it to help you decide which of your candidates is the right one for your city. You can submit your questions via text to the CPU and it will beam them to our stage, or if you're here in the audience, head on up to the podium and ask in person! Now to introduce our candidates.

[ Taking advantage of the theater as the location, the lights dim. Fog machines fill the stage and lightning flashes through it as the roar of thunder introduces Everglade's guardian candidates! ]

Everglade's returning warrior for the undead, Lydia takes the stage to duke it out with current long-running deputy Remilia Scarlet and a newcomer to the fray, a little guy with big ideas, Phibrizzo!

[ Some quick fans run across the stage to get rid of the fog as the lightning effects start up again, though this time it's more of a mad scientist electro kind of vibe than spooky weather. ]

Watch out for Nova City's candidates! We've got reigning champion, or reigning Guardian as it were, Gale Reinhardt and Ayame Sasaki ready for the fight! But I can guarantee it won't be a brief one with Bulla Brief ready for her chance to protect the city that never sleeps!

[ Cool mad scientist lightning changes green, then falls apart into sparkles. Someone in the lighting room is clearly having some fun here with this. Then a real lion walks across the stage to lead in the Fayren candidates!? He roars at center stage before being lead off. ]

Beautiful and mysterious Fayren's first candidate is no mystery to Fayren, it's Qubine, dragon deputy Guardian! But who will win? With a challenger as keen on justice for all, Azura steps onto the stage!

[ And last but not least, Genessia City! Apparently the directors of this show had no idea how to very briefly represent GC with lighting effects, so prepare for a rainbow GLITTER balloon drop across all the candidates and the entire stage! Whaaaaat! Look, they could've gone the Nickelodeon route, just be happy it isn't slime. ]

Last but not least, the hub of all things Genessia, Genessia City's candidates are raring to go! Smoker is ready to smoke out crime, Satou Kuroneko is ready to stop all neko-burglars, and Katsuki Bakugou is EXPLODING the unlawful as King Explosion Murder!!

Now that all of our candidates are sparkling with eagerness [ or glitter ] to debate, take a seat, and let's get started folks! Get into the town hall for this live debate, starting in 30 minutes! You've still got time to pop in, let's go, and don't forget to cast your votes this December 24th at the polls!

No candidate is required to, but lack of participation may affect public opinion of the candidate! Lack of any activity during the election season will disqualify your candidate, however.

On December 24th, the polls will officially go up and each character will be afforded one vote for each city. So if you play 5 characters, you will need to submit 5 IC vote choices; if you only play 1, then only that character will vote. This means you as the player are voting on your character's behalf because it's going to be in the OOC comm just so that we can include instructions. There will be further information at that time as well as a link to a "booklet" with candidate information. For now though, the debate is here! }

[ Everyone's TVs will flicker on and to the Genessia News Channel for a Live Special Report. The Show Host pops out from beneath the podium, a cool tenor voice coming straight from him as he addresses the camera. ]

Well heeeeello there everyone! We interrupt your day for a very special report! This is the hostess with the mostest, your favorite Show Host, here with the City Guardian Election Debate, coming at you LIVE! This debate's a little smaller than normal with two City Guardian positions being uncontested, so Genessia City and Fayren will both be sitting out this time around. Congratulations to their continuing Guardians, David Haller and Mavis Vermillion!

Before we get into things, I'd like to introduce our sponsors for the City Guardian Debates this summer: Schnee Company Welcoming Services and Paw Paws and Props. Paw Paws and Props: You bring your pet, we'll take ridiculous model-level pictures of them as superheroes, celebrities, sports players- you name it, we'll make your pet into a star. I got a photo of me with my pet the other day, take a look!

[ Yes, this broadcast is being interrupted by a photo of Show Host as Robin cheek-to-cheek with his caped crusader, Bat-Llama. The photo spins out of the way cartoon-style back to Show Host and starts the show! ]

We are broadcasting live from right here in Genessia City. Many folks are in attendance, including our very own GCPD who are here to monitor and keep the peace. Let's begin the live debate-slash-Q&A you've all been waiting for. Here's how it works: You all come up with questions to ask each of the Guardians, and each Guardian will have the opportunity to answer it to help you decide which of your candidates is the right one for your city. You can submit your questions via text to the CPU and it will beam them to our stage, or if you're here in the audience, head on up to the podium and ask in person! Now to introduce our candidates.

A huge fight is brewing in Attleton with fiery contenders! Dante Sparda: current deputy, suave musician, professional pizza-lover, and badass is our first candidate but don't think he's the only one here. His opponent is EXPLODING onto the stage with plans to be the very best, like no one ever was! Katsuki Bakugo is ready to tell Dante to get back and go! Who will Attleton choose to be its new hero!?

Attleton isn't the only hot-button topic around though. Everglade may send a chill down your spine, but things are getting ready to heat up as Lydia squares down with Hikaru Takeda. One's a passionate protector of undead rights, the other the entrusted as acting City Guardian. Who will Everglade choose to deal with the spooky task of trying to keep everyone happy as City Guardian!?

Last but never least, let's make some hoopla about the high-tech city that programmed its way into our hearts and shot them into the sky, Nova City! Nova City's got two candidates with us today. He's sexy, he's cute, and popular to boot, he's bitchin', great hair, we all love to stare: Gale Reinhardt! But don't let that great intro fool you, Android 17 used to be a park ranger, and our hearts are in his range now! ❤

So park yourself down, take a seat, and let's get started folks! Get into the town hall for this live debate, starting in 30 minutes! You've still got time to pop in, let's go, and don't forget to cast your votes this June 24th at the polls!

Iiiiit's your favorite Show Host here, with breaking news! [ he spins around in his chair as he says it! ] You guessed it, it's time to announce who our Guardians will be from January to June!

First up, we've got Nova City. It was too close to call for a while, but in the end Co-Guardians Mercury Black and Garrus Vakarian pulled ahead with 41.3% of the vote! Looks like their assigned gig for former Guardian Schnee impressed the masses enough to get them elected of their own volition! Congratulations, boys!

Next, Genessia City with a landslide victory of 80.9% in favor of keeping Guardian David Haller around! We do love our Davids here in Genessia.

Everglade really kept with the holiday spirit this season in Red VS Green! That just sounds weird, I feel like it should be Red VS Blue for some reason.. [ He looks directly at the camera like he's in The Office for a second, then continues. ] Either way, Red is sticking around, welcome back Guardian Grell Sutcliff!

A drum roll please... Fayren kept it tight with the tighest of races! It was very close, even toward the end, with the winner only winning by 2.2% of the vote! She must've made a wish upon a star, this Fairy Tactician is now Guardian Mavis Vermillion!

Now here's a surprising case with Attleton! Maybe not that surprising is that Guardian Cassian Andor will be staying in charge with a landslide 73.9% of the vote, but in a shocking turn of events, it seems the mayoral election that was happening in Attleton at the same time had a massive number of write-in votes for Mayor Cecil Palmer! Ah-may-zing!

That's it folks, enjoy your new years and stay safe! Don't forget: Fireworks should only be handled by un-inebriated adult supervision, and make sure to make a safe space for your pets before they start going off!

[ Everyone's TVs will flicker on and to the Genessia News Channel for a Live Special Report. The Show Host pops out from beneath the podium, a cool tenor voice coming straight from him as he addresses the camera. ]

Well heeeeello there everyone! We interrupt your day for a very special report! It's your favorite host with news about the City Guardian Election, live, despite the weather folks! It turns out electronics don't work so well in the freezing cold, so we've had to move our Guardian's debate to warmer pastures! Thank you to our sponsor, Hot Diggity! Toast your houses so warm this winter you'll think you're bread. Though let's hope a little chill won't freeze out any of the candidates, ha ha ha! Or should I say ho ho ho?

[ There's a brief pause before he swivels to a second camera and the camera view zooms in on his face as if he didn't just make the lamest news pun. ]

Attleton puts the A+ in Guardianship, but will it be return Guardian Cassian Andor? Or will Chara or Cecil Palmer talk up a storm in the citizen's hearts?

Everglade as always returns with two beautiful ladies, the gorgeous and charitable returning Guardian Grell Sutcliff and a new gem, Emerald Sustrai! Who will shine harder in this debate?!

Fayren keeps its tradition of having the largest number of candidates with four all-stars! Welcome Alexstrasza, Qubine, Winter Schnee, and current acting Guardian Mavis Vermillion! A goddess, a dragon, an ice queen, and a fairy-esque guild-leader. What a variety!

Nova City's coming in hot! Check it out, Mercury Black and Garrus Vakarian trying to stay in office with a dual ticket! Current Deputy Guardian Grievous saying: It's my turn, boys! And a newcomer from a new corner, Gale Reinhard, ready to rock Nova City all night long!

Let's not forget the heart of our cities, the hostess with the mostest, Genessia City! It's the mayor-punching expert, X-Ray and our long-term favorite returning Guardian David Haller!

Let's get started folks! Get out of the showers and into the town hall for this live debate, starting in 30 minutes! You've still got time to pop in, let's go, and don't forget to cast your votes this Tuesday, December 26th at the polls!

[ The special news report comes on instead of your regularly scheduled commercial! It's the view of a beach, looking very pristine. In the distance, there's a hover boat going over the water to check some stuff. Show Host walks onto the screen, stopping, then turning toward the camera in a jolting 90 degree movement. He's wearing sunglasses. ]

Well helloooo there, Genessia! This is the Show Host, live from Nova City Beach where the sand is moderate and the waves are finally blue enough to function! After long years of the beach being shut down due to pollution problems and low animal populations, Nova City Beach has finally recovered! The final stretch was made by the mayor's office in recent times, pushing more funding into recovering the beach. Though it's right before winter, Nova City's generally warmer weather means that after today's ribbon cutting ceremony, the beach will be open to the public.

[ The video turns to the stage and Show Host moves with it. In the background, a bunch of politicians, a couple of celebrities (including celebrity chefs Alice Nakiri and Ryo Kurokiba from the TV show Ultimate Food Showdown, wow!) stand by Mayor Schnee are cutting a big red ribbon with a pair of ridiculously oversized laser-scissors. There's a smattering of applause from the crowd, a little speech, then afterward when everyone's of stage Show Host goes to approach Jacques Schnee, mayor of Nova City. ]

How did you manage to put the pedal to the metal with this project, Mayor Schnee? Anything else you'd like to add to the people of Genessia?

[ The mayor turns to the camera to answer the question, really pouring on the charm.

"When I learned that the people of Nova City were unable to enjoy a safe trip to the beach, I put my top people on it. Nothing is more important to me than ensuring that my citizens are able to live happily and healthily." ]

It sounds like you're the hero this beach needed. Thank you, Mayor Schnee. This is Show Host, signing off. It's time for me to work on my tan!

[ Show Host, you're a puppet... still, he happily dances off the screen and the special report ends. ]

[ Everyone's TVs will flicker on and to the Genessia News Channel for a Live Special Report. The Show Host pops out from beneath the podium, a cool tenor voice coming straight from him as he addresses the camera. ]

Well heeeeello there everyone! We interrupt your day for a very special report! It's your favorite host with news about the City Guardian Election, live! We're so sorry this television broadcast had to be delayed in the wake of the most recent tragedies. Speaking of which, if you need help rebuilding: Check out our sponsor, the CCCC Construction, Carpentry, and Cleaning Company in Attleton. It's thanks to them that we were able to get our Election Debate set up despite recent destruction. Now, let's take a look at this election's candidates.

Look out Attleton, here comes Cassian Andor to challenge current Guardian Blaze! Award-winning cook and a man whose name is literally Blaze- they're going to set the stage on fire tonight!

Everglade, more like ever beautiful! Please welcome the lovely ladies Remilia Scarlet and current Guardian Grell Sutcliff, the baddest of the badasses running for City Guardian in Everglade!

Fayren's got one heck of a variety this time, the first election in a long while not to feature royalty! The peasants will rise to the rank of City Guardian! Welcome Qubine, Alice Margatroid, Mavis Vermillion, and Yukiko Amagi!

Watch out- It's Nova City candidates coming through! These two futuristic frontrunners are looking to fight! Welcome current Guardian Weiss Schnee and challenger Captain James T. Kirk.

And last bit not least, the center of the cities and center of our hearts, Genessia City! Let's hear what our candidates have to say, welcome the effervescent Princess Zelda, cool and collected Michio, current super Guardian David Haller, and ruggedly handsome Peter Quill.

Let's get started folks! Get out of the showers and into the town hall for this live debate, starting in 30 minutes! You've still got time to pop in, let's go, and don't forget to cast your votes this Sunday, June 25th at the polls!

Well heeeeello there everyone! We interrupt your day for a very special report! It's your favorite host with news about the recent outbreak of strange behavior in Nova City! Find out how the water you drink could be killing you- after this commercial!

[ The Show Host spins out of the camera, then it cuts to a frog puppet. The frog puppet's eyebrows waggle like he's trying to flirt, at which point it shows a princess puppet who's like ooooh and leans in for a kiss.. except she leans right past the frog to grab a box of ring-shaped candy.

"This is the only ring I'm taking on the first date."

The frog looks dejected and falls over backward and the princess winks and eats a piece of the candy. Prings!!

Cut back to the Show Host. ]

We're back! And have I got a story for you! I hope you've held onto those glasses, especially if you've visited or live in Nova City. Former Aster Technologies scientist Doctor Milton Seek dumped a chemical formula into the water system that is causing the physical separation of residents' light and dark halves into two separate people.

Seek was an unstable employee who acted after Aster Technologies denied funding for his project, their representative Andrea Fine stating that "To test that on human, cyborg, or any level of life would be an ethical disaster. Aster Technologies could not stand by such a formula and immediately let Seek go and reported his actions to the ethical board" after learning this wasn't the first incident of unreported, morally questionable research. Seek has since been stripped of his doctorate and is now the subject of a massive bounty after experts suggested that this formula may have compromised the City Guardian's office, which would explain the sudden rash of changes within the office's staffing. Guardian Schnee was unable to be reached for comment at this time.

The bounty for Seek is set at the maximum level of four. Bounty hunters are reminded that they do need to be licensed to receive payment for bounties in Nova City through the City Guardian's office, though Nova City Councilbeing Plus Del'k'kn has stated that due to the severe emergency state this is putting the city in, he will make arrangements with the Guardian's office for anyone who brings the bounty in to temporarily waive the license provided that all Nova City laws are followed during the course of capture.

"Seek must be brought in urgently and he must be brought in alive if we are to create a formula that can reverse the effects of this," Fine said in agreement with Del'k'kn, "We also would like to stress that these are not clones or doppelgangers and causing mortal fatalities has resulted in unverified reports of both halves dying when only one is harmed. "

So you heard it here first folks!! Bottled water only until you the water is clean again or you might be taking a walk on the dark side and the light in opposite directions! And this time, neither side has cookies. Until next time!

[ This is the end of the report so the tv sets go back to their regular progressing.

OOC NOTES:
This will be a special bounty in which anyone may sign up and the person, pair, or group who gets to encounter will be selected via RNG on the 19th (extended one day due to late mod posting). Mr. Seek will have some information available to those who catch him that will reveal both a remedy and some other information related to another plot, but not this event that may become important down the line. Mr. Seek cannot be NPC’d by players but will be NPC’d by a mod for the bounty log. You cannot bypass a log to complete this bounty regardless of when the last one you did was. Reply to this post if you would like to sign your character up for the bounty. We ask that you only sign a maximum of two characters up for this bounty's RNG to give all players a fair chance regardless of how many characters they play. Characters who are affected by the event may participate in the bounty sign-up as well. We would like to stress that if you do not want your character to win the bounty, don't sign up. You can say your character is looking without signing up, but if you want your character to have a chance at being the one to complete it, you need to reply to this post. ]

[ It's the Show Host! He pops up to his desk with his microphone looking positively shocked, his puppety jaw agape! ]

Whooooa, ladies and gentlemen I came back from my vacation to a doozy of a newsie! Everglade's New Mayor requested a recount of the Everglade City Guardian votes after a seer was found to be using her abilities to influence votes! It's unclear if she had an actual affect, but the New Mayor has sworn that justice will be swift and served for everyone if there's even a doubt in mind! And lo and behold, the polls have shifted!

Ladies, gents, bats, Team Z, and everyone in between or out- Your Everglade City Guardian is now Grell Sutcliff! Con-grat-u-lations!

[ Cue the balloon and confetti drop while he puppet dances back and forth until the newscast ends. ]

[ OOC note: Due to OOC circumstances, Danny Phantom's player has stated that he will withdraw from being the new City Guardian. ]

[ Everyone's TVs will flicker on and to the Genessia News Channel for a Live Special Report. The Show Host pops out from beneath the podium, a cool tenor voice coming straight from him as he addresses the camera. ]

Well heeeeello there everyone! We interrupt your day for a very special report! It's your favorite host with news about the City Guardian Election, live! How exciting! This just in for Nova City: Weiss Schnee and Genessia City: David Haller will continue to hold their positions of City Guardian! Congratulations!

For all other cities, it looks like the heat of battle is about to go from the frying pan and into the fire! Talk about a mixed metaphor, folks. Here we go, the live debate-slash-Q&A you've all been waiting for. Here's how it works: You all come up with questions to ask each of the Guardians, and each Guardian will have the opportunity to answer it to help you decide which of your candidates is the right one for your city.

We are broadcasting live from right here in Genessia City. Many folks are in attendance, including our very own GCPD who are here to monitor and keep the peace. Now onto the debate.

Just to recap, our official candidates for Everglade are Fai D. Flourite, Sans the Skeleton and Maria Selwyn!

For Attleton, we have a new record high number of candidates! We have John Smith, Reiner Braun, Dante Sparda, Roman Torchwick and Blaze.

And last but not least, the competition is fierce in Fayren with four candidates! Satori Komeiji, Blaine DeBeers, Azalea and Mavis Vermillion COME ON DOWN!

Let's get started folks! Get out of the showers and into the town hall for this live debate, starting in 30 minutes! You've still got time to pop in, let's go, and don't forget to cast your votes this Monday, June 20th at the polls!

Well heeeeello there everyone! It's the time you've all been waiting for: Our second biannual City Guardian Election debate! This debate is brought to you live by our sponsor, the Attleton Bistro: Eat like a "BEAST"ro. How exciting! We all know Genessia and Attleton are keeping their respective Guardians with no competition.

Let's move onto the riveting debate between the other cities. Here we go, the live debate-slash-Q&A you've all been waiting for. Here's how it works: You all come up with questions to ask each of the Guardians, and each Guardian will have the opportunity to answer it to help you decide which of your candidates is the right one for your city. Can't be here in person? Phone in your question to one of the candidates via our live feed.

In Everglade's corner, we've got the rematch of the century! Vlad III Tepes is coming back for more against Ted Satchel, but a newcomer seems to be coming up in the polls! Fai D. Flourite isn't going to let either Tepes or Satchel take the title so easily.

Fayren has everyone's favorites! Supernatural versus supernatural, youkai versus god, it's Satori Komeiji and Loki Laevatein trying to win your trust and your hearts here!

Last but not least, the future is uncertain in Nova City. Long-term City Guardian Satsuki Kiryuin wiped the floor with the competition last election season, but how will she fair against Weiss Schnee? Both candidates have great strengths, let's see who the people decide they like more!

Let's get started folks! Get out of the showers and into the town hall for this live debate, starting in 30 minutes! You've still got time to pop in, let's go, and don't forget to cast your votes by December 26th at the polls, which run from the 20th to the 26th!

{ OOC NOTE: Anyone can reply to this post with a question they want to ask the potential City Guardians. Each City Guardian candidate is tasked with answering any question on this post. No candidate is required to, but lack of participation may affect public opinion of the candidate!

On December 20th, the polls will officially go up and each character will be afforded one vote for each city. So if you play 5 characters, you will need to submit 5 IC vote choices. If you only play 1, then only that character will vote. For now though, the debate is here! }

[ Everyone's TVs will flicker on and to the Genessia News Channel for a Live Special Report. The Show Host pops out from beneath the podium, a cool tenor voice coming straight from him as he addresses the camera. ]

Well heeeeello there everyone! We interrupt your day for a very special report! It's your favorite host with news about the City Guardian Election, live! How exciting! This just in for Attleton: Dark Adonis Vyers will continue to hold the position of City Guardian! Congratulations!

For all other cities, it looks like the heat of battle is about to go from the frying pan and into the fire! Talk about a mixed metaphor, folks. Here we go, the live debate-slash-Q&A you've all been waiting for. Here's how it works: You all come up with questions to ask each of the Guardians, and each Guardian will have the opportunity to answer it to help you decide which of your candidates is the right one for your city.

Just to recap, our official candidates for Genessia are Ejava Tepet, Emerald Sustrai, and David Haller. This might be a close one, folks.

For Everglade the candidates might send a chill up your spine! We've got Vlad III Tepes versus Theodore Satchel!

We look to the future with Nova City, this election starring Satsuki Kiryuin, Levi Ackerman, and Cinder Fall!

And last but not least, the competition is fierce in Fayren with the highest number of candidates! Gilgamesh, Laura Hopkins, Satori Komeiji, and Mavis Vermillion COME ON DOWN!

Let's get started folks! Get out of the showers and into the town hall for this live debate, starting in 30 minutes! You've still got time to pop in, let's go, and don't forget to cast your votes this Wednesday, June 10th at the polls!

Koschei entered the job center, Sunday newspaper tucked under his arm. He hoped his school robes would look professional enough. Walking up to the desk, he showed the relevant article.

"Good morning. I'd like to apply for the position of technician at the Planetarium in Nova City."

WHO: Anybody! Recruiters, set up a stall. Bums, get a job!
WHAT: Genessia is hosting a super fun job fair! Unsure what to do? Step up to the lucky lotto and get assigned a super fun lucky awesome job that the character MUST work for at least eight hours before returning to pick a new job from the lucky lotto. Or you could just pick a normal job that's being offered by normal people. That works too.

WHERE: Genessia City - Encircling the Bay
NOTES: If you want to try for a random job, post a comment with the day of the week in the subject line. The character may choose to keep the job if they like it, or pick a new one the next day.

WHEN: December 8th - December 14th
WHERE: Genessia City - Encircling the Bay
NOTES: A thread will be posted for each day of the week, for those wanting to draw a random job. If you're up for wacky hijinks, tag the day you want your character to pick a surprise career and the mods will RP/assign a job. The character may choose to keep the job if they like it, or pick a new one the next day, but they're stuck doing that job for at least eight hours once the choice is made. HO HO HO!
