Dialogue

Pt. 1

After starting the update Are there too many neck veins on this severed head? Agghhhhhh! Agghhhhhh! Oh, Dad's just doing his annual Halloween decorating. Everscream Terrors! Every year we have the spookiest house on the block! A jack-o-lantern vomiting its own seeds?! Homer, where do you get your ideas? Other people. What if you put beer cans nearby, you know, like that's what made him throw up! Lisa, let Daddy take care of the “ideas.” You and Bart can make decorations. We need macaroni skeletons! Lots of them. Task: "Make Lisa do Babyish Busy Work". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 6 seconds. If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart do Babyish Busy Work". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 6 seconds. After starting the jobs It's so demeaning! Sending us off to make crafts just to get us out of the way. Still, it's kinda like homework which means I will crush it! Awww, these fruit-leather tombstones are turning out so adorable! I FREAKING HATE THAT! After finishing the tasks Halloween isn't about glitter-glue and pipe cleaners. It's about kids getting together, telling ghost stories and giving each other nightmares. Also candy. That's a great idea! We'll gather a bunch of kids and tell ghost stories! Outside, around a campfire! Oh. I meant vegging out on the couch and watching a bunch of kids do Halloween on TV. But tell me more about this “outside.” It sounds fascinating. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark I've found lots of wood for our campfire. Wow, it looks really old. Where'd you find it? There's a bunch of it by the water. Looks like it used to be part of an old throne or underwater church or gateway to another dimension. I ‘unno. Lotta stuff got ruined when dad blew up the town. It's covered with strange writing. I don't recognize it. I couldn't read it either, but I just figured it was cursive. Maybe we shouldn't burn mysterious wood we know nothing about. Should we cut down your precious trees? Well, they're not AS precious to me now that we get ‘em free at Springfield Heights, but… It seems like a lot of sweaty work. Let's just pick up more old wood near the water. If no Beach is owned: Task: "Place Rivers". If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Lisa and Bart Collect Mysterious Driftwood". The job takes place at Beach or River and takes 30 seconds. If Bart is not owned: If {{{char}}} is owned: Task: "Make Lisa Collect Mysterious Driftwood". The job takes place at Beach or River and takes 30 seconds. This wood feels odd. Cold. Like dead hands. Really? Mine feels hot and smells like brimstone. Mine is pulsing like a beating heart and oozing blood. Can we please stop describing things and just throw it on to the pile!

Pt. 3

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Bart, I think there is something evil about this firewood. Just because it smells a little and bleeds a little and emits otherworldly moans a little? I think you're reading too much into this. I found this ancient-looking scroll near a big pile of this wood… Look at the drawing: A spiky-headed boy, in a red shirt reading from an ancient-looking scroll… …behind him, a giant tentacled demon rises… And? It's you! Look what's in the ancient word-bubble… “K'waB'nga” I don't say that. Below that it says, “Eet my C'thorts, man.” More gobbledy-gook. And below that it says, “Im B'art Th'mpson hu the C'thell R U?” Okay, I'll admit it's creepy. But we're building a Halloween campfire… Creepy is exactly what we want! Task: "Build the Spooky Campfire". It takes 6 seconds. Task: "Reach Level 12 and Build Bart's Treehouse". Task: "Make Bart Tell a Scary Story". The job takes place at the Spooky Campfire and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Youngsters Gather Around the Spooky Campfire" (x4). The jobs take place at the Spooky Campfire and take 1 minute. Hoo-kay, for my spooky story I'd like to read off this scroll that Lisa's so scared of… No Bart, that's exactly what you shouldn't— Ah-ah! Listen with your ears, not with your mouth. I hate when you use teacher-phrases. Leagues beneath the inky deep, rests the evil and unpronounceable city of R'lyeh. Therein lies the demon known as… M'nthster! Dead but dreaming. Waiting for the stars to come right. And for the chosen underachiever to speak the words… And break the spell which binds him: C'thulhu-doodle-dooooooo! Bart! Stop! You might actually call something forth! And nobody wants that. I do. AGGGGGGHHHHH! Bart! You fulfilled the prophecy and unleashed a malevolent entity! I'm telling! Wh-who are you? I am called… M'nthster. Muns-ther? My name cannot be spoken by a human mouth. You need to roll the “r” with your face-tentacles. Mons-terrr? Can we move on? I don't wanna get hung up on this. What do you want? I come to make mankind free and wild. To turn him away from law and morality. I will teach the human new ways to scream and kill and revel in joy. Until all the earth is aflame in a holocaust of ecstasy. That's the plan, anyway. But I'm also gonna occasionally wing it. I don't want to get too scheduled. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark Well, it's been nice summoning ya but it's getting late so, you know… Time to get back into the campfire. I'm afraid it's not that easy. Your campfire story about me created a portal, which I used to enter this dimension. But that has since closed. You'll need to tell another creepy tale to create a portal from which I can leave. Deal! Someone tell a ghost story. Something really creepy. We gotta scare tentacle-face back to wherever. Ooh! I've prepared a story! I even rehearsed in a mirror! I practically scared myself. If I saw what you see in the mirror, I'd be scared too. Task: "Build the Springfield Library". Task: "Make Martin Tell a Scary Story". The job takes place at the Spooky Campfire and takes 4 hours. A young woman visited her blind grandfather who had moved into a new apartment. He complained bitterly. “The nightclub next door keeps me up with music and laughter…” “And drunken shuffling, up and down the street, sometimes right by my door…” “Then, every night at 2:22 in the morning…” “… They start screaming…” “Every night, they scream, and then…" “Silence.” And his grand-daughter said… “O. M. G. Grampa!” “Right outside your window are the charred remains of a disco that burnt to the ground in, like, the 70's.” “We didn't think you'd mind the crappy view, being blind and what-not…” “The fire that killed all those people…” “…started at 2:22 AM!” That's your story? Undead disco dancers? Nelson? Already noogy-ing him. Message Zombies are now spawning from the campfire! Quest reward: 100 and 100

Pt. 5

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark Well, Martin, M'nthy is still here. Your disco zombie story wasn't scary enough to open a portal. That's not exactly true… AGGH! Disco Zombies! Huh. In person, they actually are pretty scary. Zombies are wusses. They squish so easily. See? That's not a Zombie you squished -- that's Ralph. He's just gets Zombie-ish when his blood sugar gets low. Brains. Brains! Or anything else to eat! Look, poor Ralph is hungry. And he doesn't want to eat the defenseless animals. Right, Ralph? Maybe we should make S'mores first… and THEN squish zombies with extra sugar energy. I agree with the plan because… S'mores. Task: "Send Kids on S'mores Jobs to Spawn Zombies" (x2). The jobs take place at the Spooky Campfire and take 4 hours. Task: "Collect Event Currency to Unlock 1st Prize". Task: "Tap Zombies" (x10). Quest reward: 100 and 100

Pt. 6

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark Obviously, M'nthster tricked us. He knew if we told another story we would call forth even more evil into the town. Yeah, I feel bad about that. Tell another story and this time, I swear, I really will leave. Okay! I've got a scary story! Milhouse, no! We can't trust him! He is a denizen of the underworld! Remember the fable of the Farmer and the Viper? Hmmm, I don't know that one, how does that go? Oh, it's my favorite Aesop's fable! Briefly, it goes like this… Task: "Make Lisa Accidentally Tell A Scary Story". The job takes place at the Spooky Campfire and takes 4 hours. A farmer found a viper, coiled and frozen in the snow. The farmer took pity and tucked the poor creature into his coat. As soon as the viper warmed, he gave the farmer a deadly bite. As the farmer lay dying, he said… “Tis mine own fault, for I knew twas a viper ‘fore I took it to my bosom.” Message Snakes are now spawning from the campfire! What the hell kind of farmer talks like that? Ooh! Lisa wins the scary story contest! Oh, come on! Wait, I wasn't telling a scary story. I was making the point that if we interact with you -- you being an evil trickster -- we shouldn't be surprised when you… Oh, you tricked me didn't you? Snakes! They just appeared out of nowhere! Of course they did. Quest reward: 100 and 100
