Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Akira's exclamation mark That meeting was maddening. Where is Cookie Kwan? Where is Hubert Wong and his parents? Where are Tetsuo and Kaneda, my best friends that everyone in Springfield's Asian-American community know and love? TETSUO! KANEDA! Breathe, Akira, and visualize mini trees. If I focus on my bonsai, it will help me stay zen, and other Japanese-y things. Anime. Task: "Make Akira Plant a Bonsai". The job takes place at The Happy Sumo and takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Akira's exclamation mark Aw, it's like a bushy baby Groot. Baby Groot – heh heh – time for a branch cut. This adorable little plant is totally taking my mind off the clear racial imbalance in how people return to this town. Who needs equal treatment of many when I can work on me? Task: "Make Akira Prune Bonsai". The job takes place at The Happy Sumo and takes 12 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Akira's exclamation mark Re-potting a bonsai gives it fresh nutrients and helps it remain strong. It's as if when you live in a small, contained place, you need to change the old soil - kick up the environment - to keep yourself from wilting and dying. Could that somehow be a metaphor for life? Springfield equals "small place." The stagnant lack of diversity equals "old soil." And what would keep us from wilting and dying? Ah... No, Akira! Bonsai is your time to let go. Bury your ambitions way down inside where they can be forgotten and never disturb you again. So yeah... uh... cute tree description something something pot? Task: "Make Akira Re-pot Bonsai". The job takes place at The Happy Sumo and takes 12 hours. Message Make Akira Plant, Prune and Re-pot to get more Bonsai! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Akira's exclamation mark Ah ha! A perfect bonsai to plant. No one else in Springfield has these unique and mad skills. This is why we need to increase diversity. Think of all the useful and impressive stereotypes that can't be given expression. Who is to do manis and pedis? Who does math moderately better than others? Who dry cleans clothes using ancient secrets? By placing this tree into the ground, I let an idea take root. Expanding the representation of cultures adds value to all communities. Also, that I rock at bonsai. Task: "Place Bonsai" (x3). You know, your skill isn't that special. Any bozo like me can just buy your precious crooked shrub with donuts. But to be able to do without donuts what you need donuts to do, that is a special skill indeed. What are you trying to say, Yoda? Having me do it saves you donuts. Donuts I can use on other things? Ah, you are wise! Can I call you sensei? Okay. But only if the term has nothing to do with my race, and only applies because of my incredible intelligence. Sure. Whatever works for you. Quest reward: 100 and 10
