'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Gameplay[edit]
Christmas is Canceled Intro[edit]
After the user logs in on December 5th:
|
|
Homer! The Krusty Kristmas Special is starting, and we can't get the new TV to work.
|
|
Switch to HDMI 2. Or HDMI 5. It's one of those.
|
|
We tried both! You set up the TV wrong, genius.
|
|
Aren't you kids supposed to be good with technology? That's the whole point of us making you.
|
|
This TV uses apps, right? Maybe if I download one...
|
|
For the love of God, don't!
|
|
"Downloading. Time remaining: one hour, fifty-three minutes."Ew, boy.
|
|
Homer set up the Internet wrong.
|
|
It's not my fault! I never asked to live in a smart home, surrounded by a million fragile devices I can't, and/or won't, learn to set up.
|
|
Well, who needs TV? Maybe we can sit around and tell each other Christmas stories.
|
|
...
|
|
Let's try HDMI 4. That might work...
|
|
Who wants to go first?
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Christmas is Canceled Pt. 1[edit]
After completing Christmas is Canceled Intro:
|
|
Once there was an old billionaire who loved nothing but money, and thought Christmas was a humbug.
|
Task: Make Lisa Tell a Cliché Story (6s, Simpson House) On job start:
|
|
Wait. Is this a take on "A Christmas Carol"?
|
|
Well, I'm going to update it. I'll make Mr. Burns the lead, and have all the ghosts and side characters played by Springfield regulars.
|
|
Lisa, sweetie, if Daddy has to sit through one more adaptation of "A Christmas Carol", Daddy will blow his brains all over the wall.
|
|
You don't want that for Daddy, do you?
|
|
Not really, no.
|
|
Then let's all agree, as a society, that "A Christmas Carol" is a lemon that's been squeezed dry.
|
|
It's given up everything it has to offer, and should be fed into the disposal and obliterated from memory.
|
|
Fine. I'll tell a different story.
|
|
Atta girl. And just a warning: at the mention of ghost one, or anything resembling a Tiny Tim, I run screaming from the room. 'Kay? Great.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10

|
'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Intro[edit]
After completing Christmas is Canceled Pt. 1:
|
|
This afternoon we will hold auditions for our annual Christmas Pageant! See you there, budding thespians!
|
|
As participation is mandatory for all students, we will see you bullies, jocks, and burnouts there, too.
|
|
Excuse me, Principal Skinner, but-
|
|
You object to the word "Christmas" because of its exclusionary religious connotations? Very well. We'll call it the "Holiday Pageant".
|
|
Great. But--
|
|
The word "Pageant" evokes beauty pageants, which are sexist and outdated? Fine. Then we'll call it the "Holiday Thing".
|
|
You fold pretty quick in the face of controversy, huh?
|
|
It's my main qualification for this job.
|
Task: Make Lisa Audition for the Holiday Thing (4h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) Task: Make Milhouse Audition for the Holiday Thing (4h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) If the user Ralph: Task: Make Ralph Audition for the Holiday Thing (4h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House)
|
|
The cast list will be posted later today. Your part will be assigned according to the degree of stink your parents will raise if you have few lines.
|
|
Hello, sir. I am the handyman you hired to build your outdoor stage. My name is Roger.
|
|
Roger? I want a cool name!
|
|
Like I said, my name is Jackhammer Machinegun.
|
|
What a very cool name. So have you finished building the stage?
|
|
No. Instead of doing my actual job, I became a snow plow driver, or an astronaut, or something. Happens all the time.
|
|
Plus I lost the money you gave me for supplies.
|
|
Mr. Machinegun, how could you! The Holiday Thing is ruined!
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10

'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Pt. 1[edit]
After completing 'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Intro:
|
|
Children, the play is canceled. We have no stage. And if I'm being honest, we never really found our Petey the Reluctant Elf, either.
|
|
I'm doing the best I can. Petey is a complex character!
|
|
We can't give up! If we need more money to finish the stage, there must be a way to get it!
|
|
Maybe we could hold a fundraiser. A winter carnival!
|
|
Good thinking, Lisa! You truly are the hero of this story that you made up yourself.
|
|
Now go fold some programs while I ponder Lisa's amazing idea!
|
If the user has Skinner: Task: Make Skinner Brainstorm Moneymaking Schemes (4h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) Task: Make Homer Use a Saw Like a Hammer (4h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) Task: Collect Programs [x100]
|
|
Lisa, your upbeat problem-solving has truly saved the day. Hooray for Lisa!
|
|
Oh, come on. Is this whole story nothing more than a love letter to yourself?
|
|
It's my story, I'll tell it how I want.
|
|
Sweetie, your brother's right. For a story to be interesting, the hero needs to experience setbacks.
|
|
*agreeing sucking noises*
|
|
Well, I LIKE stories where I'm doing amazing things and everyone says how great I am.
|
|
...
|
|
Fine. One setback, coming up.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Pt. 2[edit]
After completing 'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Pt. 1:
|
|
I've found the perfect centerpiece for our winter carnival fundraiser -- a roasted chestnuts cart!
|
|
Oh, how the children will line up for the earthy, mild flavor of warm chestnuts!
|
|
Uh, kids today don't really think of chestnuts as "yummy". Or even as "food".
|
|
Nonsense! Chewy, nondescript chestnuts are the ultimate holiday treat!
|
|
We could coat them in sugar, I guess. And serve them on a bed of sugar, with sugar sauce on the side...
|
|
Fine. Yes. Do that. And ruin my delightfully bland chestnuts.
|
Task: Place Hot Roasted Chestnuts Cart [x3] Task: Make Children Sell Chestnuts [x3] (4h, Hot Roasted Chestnuts Cart) Task: Collect Programs [x300]
|
|
In a development no one could have possibly predicted, today's children have zero interest in hot chestnuts.
|
|
...
|
|
It's time to give the kids the Christmas treats they crave -- figgy pudding and steaming bowls of wassail.
|
|
Sir, that's a horrible idea.
|
|
I've spent the last thirty Christmases alone with my elderly mother. I THINK I know what kids want!
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Pt. 3[edit]
After completing 'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Pt. 2:
|
|
Ralph, have you been working on your line for the play?
|
|
I like pretending where I'm a Dracula driving a bulldozer.
|
|
Me too, Ralph. Me too. But in THIS play, you're playing a mouse, right? And when you come on stage, your line is...?
|
|
"Hello! I have pointy teeth and a cape and have you seen my bulldozer?"
|
|
Focus, Ralph! It's a very important line. You explain the true meaning of Christm-- I mean, the Holidays -- to everyone. Try again...
|
|
"A robber who doesn't like Draculas stole my bulldozer and now I'm sad."
|
|
Okay, everybody. Take five. I need to think. Let's all... ride the carousel... or something.
|
Task: Make Lisa Ride the Carousel (8h, Christmas Carousel) If the user Ralph: Task: Make Ralph Ride the Carousel (8h, Christmas Carousel) Task: Make Milhouse Ride the Carousel (8h, Christmas Carousel) Task: Make Homer Ride the Carousel (8h, Christmas Carousel) Task: Collect Programs [x300]
|
|
This whole play is riding on Ralph! If he doesn't explain the true meaning of the Holidays, it's ruined!
|
|
I'm confused. What exactly IS the meaning of the Holidays?
|
|
I mean, I get what Christmas is about. But "the Holidays" just seems kind of... nonspecific.
|
|
I've never been entirely clear on that, myself. Something about brotherhood and good will?
|
|
No, that's Christmas.
|
|
It can be the meaning of non-denominational, inoffensive pseudo-celebrations as well!
|
|
You know, we could just cancel the--
|
|
We're not canceling the Holiday Thing! The holidays aren't the same without the Thing!
|
|
Let's just do another dress rehearsal. I'm sure all our problems will be solved through some inexplicable, non-denominational holiday miracle.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Pt. 4[edit]
After completing 'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Pt. 3:
|
|
Behold! An angel has appeared to tell us all the meaning of the Holidays!
|
|
Lo! I bring tidings unto thee! But to clarify, I'm not comfortable with the word "angel". Think of me as a non-religious "spirit".
|
|
So... you're a g-g-g-g-ghost?!
|
|
I'm a Dracula!
|
|
Forget it. Call me an angel if it's so important to you. Just shut up and harken to my stupid message of hope.
|
Task: Make Angel Lisa Give Proclamations on High (4h) Task: Collect Programs [x300]
|
|
Hear me, Springfield! We celebrate the Holidays because on this day a child was born.
|
|
A child who, depending on your belief system, was either the son of God, or a prophet, or just a really nice guy.
|
|
And either to celebrate his birth, or because it's Hanukkah, or maybe the Winter Solstice is important to you, we should all be nice to one another right now.
|
|
That's it! The angel has saved the play! She's a hero!
|
|
She sure is! What a gal, reminds me of that amazing sister of mine!
|
|
Whoa, whoa! Hold on a minute. In what universe would I ever say anything nice about you?
|
|
Yeah, I'm not buying it, Lis.
|
|
It's my story! Let me tell it how I want.
|
|
Lisa, you can't just change an established character's personality whenever you want. It's sloppy writing.
|
|
The point of the story is, a holiday miracle saved the play.
|
|
Phew. I am so relieved. I was really worried the boring children's play would have to be cancelled.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Pt. 5[edit]
After completing 'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Pt. 4:
|
|
Lisa, the play's message has been saved, and it's sure to be a colossal smash. But we still don't have a stage.
|
|
I'm working on it!
|
|
Are you?
|
|
No. But I AM swinging this hammer, which sure makes it LOOK like I'm working. To me, at least.
|
|
Lisa, we need more money, which necessitates a large Christmas Market, which you are now in charge of setting up.
|
|
Hah! That'll teach that do-gooder to do good!
|
|
So Little Miss Perfect gets her comeuppance. I take back what I said, Lisa. This is a great story!
|
|
I know it's a lot to ask, but you ARE, strangely, the only character in this tale with any intelligence. So...
|
|
*sigh* Okay fine, I'll see what I can do.
|
Task: Place Fair Booth [x4] Task: Make Lisa Setup Fair Booths (8h, Fair Booth) If the user has Ralph and Milhouse: Task: Make Ralph Ride the Carousel (8h, Christmas Carousel) If the user has Ralph and Milhouse: Task: Make Milhouse Ride the Carousel (8h, Christmas Carousel) Task: Make Homer Ride the Carousel (8h, Christmas Carousel) Task: Collect Programs [x300]
|
|
Good news, I got the stage all fixed. I'll just be taking my last paycheck.
|
|
He's lying! The stage has been fine all along, he's just been spending all our money on eggnog!
|
|
*burp* I have no idea what he's *buuuurp* talking *buuuuuuuurp* about.
|
|
The curtain goes up in five minutes, children. I hope you all remember your lines?
|
|
Hello! I am not a Dracula, and I don't have a bulldozer!
|
|
Better, Ralph. Still terrible, but better.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10

'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Pt. 6[edit]
After completing 'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Pt. 5:
|
|
Now Lisa, when we do our kiss scene, make sure you don't get TOO caught up in it, okay?
|
|
Because I have a feeling I'm a really good kisser. That's what Puppy Goo Goo says.
|
|
WHAT kiss scene? I'm playing a ballerina, and you're a soldier.
|
|
Love can blossom in the strangest places, huh?
|
|
If you try to kiss me, I'll push you off the stage.
|
|
How did you know that was one of my recurring nightmares?!
|
Task: Make Children Act in an Ensemble (12h, Pageant Stage)
|
|
I declare Lisa's Holiday Thing the finest theatrical event ever!
|
|
Thank you all for your three-hour-long standing ovation. We owe everything to Lisa Simpson! Let's hear it for her!
|
|
Boo! Boooooo!
|
|
Bart, be nice. The story's almost over. It IS almost over, isn't it, Lisa?
|
|
No. Next, the play goes to Broadway, sweeps the Tonys and goes on tour.
|
|
...
|
|
...but I guess we can safely skip that part.
|
Quest reward: 200 and 20

Christmas is Canceled Pt. 2[edit]
After completing 'Twas the Pageant Before Christmas Pt. 6:
|
|
What a lovely, interesting, un-tedious story! Don't you agree, Homer?
|
|
*banging on the TV* Work, damn you! Show me a show! I don't care which one! Anything is better than this family sharing and caring!
|
|
Homer!
|
|
What? Oh, uh right. Loved your story, Lisa. Five stars. I laughed, I cried... I somehow got through it...
|
|
I'm afraid Dad is right, Lisa. Your story was objectively awful. Christmas may never recover.
|
|
Like you could do better?
|
|
Naturally. Because I know the three elements of a good story: action, violence, and mild cursing.
|
|
Gather round, chumps, as I spin a tale of such Christmas delight, you'll throw Lisa out on the street and forget she ever existed.
|
|
Hmm. I hope it's not THAT good.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
