But this is a kids band. Not just any kid's. Clarissa Wellington! You're a famous singer! You beat me on Krusty's "Li'l Starmaker" show and became a star. I remember winning. I remember becoming a star, but I don't remember you. Hm. I hope you play sax better than you leave impressions. *annoyed growl* Alright, make with the toots, toots. Chop chop. Task: Make Lisa Blow Clarissa Away Sax-Wise (4h, Springfield Elementary) Not bad, Pineapple. You're in. Pineapple?! She gives everyone a nickname so she doesn't have to remember their actual names. I'm "Matchy Matchy" because my socks match my dress. I'm "Wendell" because I was standing next to Wendell when she met me. And you're "Pineapple" cuz those jazz licks were sweet and tart. Oh, I guess that's not so... And your dumb hairdo looks like a pineapple. *annoyed growl* Quest reward: 100 and 10

Band In The U.S.A. Pt. 2

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: I don't want to play in a band with such a rude prima donna. Suit yourself. Guess you don't like making money. You're playing paid gigs? Of course I am. C'mon Lisa. You know you need money for your college fund. It's true. It's slowly becoming Bart's Legal Defense Fund. I better think about this. Task: Make Lisa Ponder, Consider, and Ruminate Over It (4h, Springfield Elementary) Fine, I'll do it. So what are we doing? Playing birthday parties? Street fairs? I'm going on a summer tour. Five hundred cities in ninety days. Whaaaaaaaaaa???!!!! Hey, that's my catchphrase! But you can borrow it if you let me in this story. Lisa, can you tell your friend the Hunchback King to go away? We've got to rehearse! Wow. Nobody ever called me no king before. *wipes tear* Thank you. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Band In The U.S.A. Pt. 3

After tapping on Clarissa Wellington's exclamation mark: Alright. The first stop is going to be the Krusty the Clown Show. How exciting! All of our tour bookings are based on how we do there. If it goes great, I'll be rich! As will you, to a much, much lesser extent. What if the show doesn't go great? I will make it my personal mission in life to break my foot off in your tush. Sorry. My mom-ager says I'm not allowed to say ass. Clarissa! Sorry, mommy! Task: Make Clarissa Wellington Put Two Thousand Dollars in the Swear Jar (4h, Krustylu Studios or Brown House) Well, Janey is great on piano, and Lewis is a maestro on bass. Don't sell yourself short either. You are just as renowned for your talents as we are for ours. We'll do great. So when are we doing the Krusty show? In a month or two? At five o'clock today. That's two hours from now, so let's start writing the original song we're gonna perform. Whaaaaaaa???!!! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Band In The U.S.A. Pt. 4

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: We can't come up with an original song on the fly! We need the rights to perform a song on TV, dummy. And it's too late to get them now! Hmm. Not if the song is over a hundred years old. Then it's public domain! I don't want to sing some dusty old song about frankfurter sandwiches. I want a song that means something. What about "Lift Every Voice and Sing"? The Black National Anthem? Of course. Mr. Largo already taught it to us for the Black History Month Showcase. And it just turned a hundred years old! Hmm. That could work. Let's try it out. A-one, and a-two, and a-one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve come-on-in-on-thirteen... Task: Make Clarissa Wellington Jam Out to "Lift Every Voice and Sing" (4h, Krustylu Studios or Brown House) Wow! That was great. No wonder Beyoncé did it at Coachella. We're gonna blow the Krusty audience away! There is no audience. They do it pre-taped now ever since Robby Fry the Animal Guy was mauled to death by that panther. Oh, right. Poor Robby Fry. They never did find out where that panther came from. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Band In The U.S.A. Pt. 5

After tapping on Krusty's exclamation mark: Alright. Before you ask, no you can't use my private bathroom, the check is in the mail, and my producer will cue you in after my "Baby Garbage Man" sketch is done. Break a whatever. Do we have to perform on this chalk outline of Robby Fry? Of course you don't. Here's a mop. Knock yourself out. Alright. Are you small time saps ready for the big time? You better be, or you'll be busking on the sidewalk for Canadian loonies. You know, we don't like it when you talk to us that way. You... you don't? Of course not! It's rude. I'm... sorry. I thought part of being a star was acting like a total B all the time. Do not bring me into this. I treat my crew with mucho respeto. I am so sorry. If we kill this performance, I promise to spend the rest of the tour making it up to you all. Task: Make Clarissa Wellington Kill This Performance (4h, Krustylu Studios or Brown House) Wow, Clarissa, you were amazing! I was moved to tears! Hey hey, kids! The phones are lighting up like crazy ! Everyone's calling in to say... Uh huh... Uh huh... Uh huh... Uh huh... That they can't see a thing. The satellite feed must've cut out during my sketch. I'm so sorry that the American TV audience never got a chance to see me play a garbage man in a diaper. When can we come back to perform? Tomorrow? Next week? Try ten months from now. My forty week hiatus starts today. I'd love to have you back though. Assuming I don't die from all the things I plan to do during my time off. *sigh* Well, I guess the tour's off. But I learned a valuable lesson along the way. To treat people the way they'd like to be treated? No. To stop doing local TV. This type of thing would never happen on The View! Quest reward: 200 and 20

If the user has Lindsey Naegle: After tapping on Lindsey Naegle's exclamation mark: If the user doesn't have Lindsey Naegle: After unlocking Opal: There's my favorite client! Opal, darling! Give me a hug, you magnificent daytime supernova! What brings you to the office? I'm tired of doing my talk show. It's so boring! "Troubled Toddlers", "Cannibal Cooking Tips for the Apocalypse", "My husband's cheating on me with a serial killer". It's all so mundane! I want to take my talents to the silver screen! As your agent, I totally support your creative ambitions. But as someone who makes her leech-like living off of you, I don't think this is a great idea. There's way less money in movies. How about you make a luxury perfume instead? Get me in a movie, or you're fired. Yes, ma'am! I'll get some feelers out right away. Task: Make Lindsey Put Some Feelers Out (4h, Krustylu Studios or Brown House) So, I got my feelers out there... Stop saying "feelers". It's gross. And I found out that Drederick Tatum is producing a biopic about the life of Shirley Chisholm. Such an important story. So inspiring. So timely. You don't know who that is, do you? No, but my assistant is summarizing her Wikipedia page then tweeting it to me. She was the first black woman to run for president of the United States! Right. And what a president she was! Just set up the audition. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Starlight Pt. 2

After tapping on Opal's exclamation mark: Hi, I'm here for the audition. Sign your name here and wait for the—OMG! You're TV's Opal! My mom loves your show!

Say, you must get this all the time, and I'm sorry to ask, but can I get... An autograph? No. A new car. No hybrids! What? I'm not gonna give you a car! Why not? You give em away on your show all the time! That's a television show. This is the real world... sort of. Hand over some car keys or you're not auditioning for squat. Why you little punk! You're lucky I brought a spare today! Task: Make Opal Hand Over the Keys to Her Spare Car (4h, Krustylu Studios or Brown House) Ooh. A Canyonero roadster. Nice! I hope you crash into a gas station.

Anger Watkins! Helloooooooo! Give it up for Anger, everyone! There's no one here but us. Sorry. Force of habit. What are you doing here? I'm auditioning for the role of the karate teacher with a mysterious past. Oh, must be a different movie. It's the Shirley Chisolm biopic. I've gotta read that script. So, what's new, Anger? I just wrote an autobiography. It's called "Untreated Anger Issues". Sounds wonderful! It is, dammit! Which is why I was hoping you could put it on your Opal's Book Club list. Oh, well. I'd have to read it and see if it fits with... Pish posh, girl! Hook a brother up with some sales. I'm trying to buy me a Tesla Cybertruck! Oh Lord. Task: Make Opal Try to Politely Decline (4h, Krustylu Studios or Brown House) Don't you politely decline me! Anger, honey, sports books aren't right for my book club. Well, make it right, or else I'll tell my good friend Drederick Tatum not to put you in his movie. Fine. I'll play ball, you jerk. But If I don't get this movie, I'm going to kill you...r career as a sports journalist. *whispers to self* Whew, saved it. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Starlight Pt. 4

If the user has Drederick Tatum: After tapping on Drederick Tatum's exclamation mark: If the user doesn't have Drederick Tatum: After completing Starlight Pt. 3: Opal! My goodness. The fact that a star of your caliber would think to audition for a role is both humbling and awe-inspiring. I am inspired with awe. I'm happy to do it, Drederick. I have been working with a method acting coach. A meth-head acting coach? Wow, that sounds like a challenge. Good for you. Alright, whenever you're ready, begin. Okay. Give me a moment to BECOME Shirley. Task: Make Opal Give the Audition of a Lifetime (4h, Krustylu Studios or Brown House) Goodness gracious. That was incredible. I don't need to see anyone else audition. Tell Viola Davis to respectfully take a hike. Opal you technically knocked out the champ, metaphorically of course. Oh, thank you Drederick. I promise I'm not going to let you down! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Starlight Pt. 5

After tapping on Krusty's exclamation mark: The nominees for best actress in a lead role are... Scarlett Johansson in "The Imelda Marcos Story", Viola Davis in "The Respectful Hike", and Opal in "Chisolm's Choice". You're a shoo-in, Opal. I always believed in you, superstar. Even when I didn't! It's all you girl! And I'm here too! Oh, man. I hope I get this. And the winner is.... Task: Make Opal Cross Her Bejeweled Fingers (4h, Krustylu Studios or Brown House) Opal, in "Chisolm's Choice"!!! Oh my God! There are so many people I'd like to thank. But first, let me air out the grievances I have with all the terrible people I had to deal with to get here. Uh oh. Lindsey Naegle, my agent who didn't think I should be in movies. You're fired! And rightfully so. The Squeaky Voice Teen, whose name escapes me at the moment, who made me give him a car. Screw you, you little twerp. And Anger Watkins, America's least talented loudmouth sportscaster. I promoted his terrible book so that he wouldn't bad mouth me to Drederick. But even the Opal bump couldn't help sell that garbage heap of a memoir. It's true. My life isn't interesting! Whew. It feels good to vent. Now to thank everyone who actually believed in me, starting with Drederi— *cut-off by music* D'oh! Quest reward: 200 and 20

Nature Walk

Nature Walk Pt. 1

After tapping on Abraham Simpson I's exclamation mark: Can I have some wheel cakes, Mommy? I'm hungry. You just ate half a dozen! Now I can eat the other half. No, you'll spoil your supper. D'oh. Um, can I go swimming instead, Mommy? That river current is too strong for you. Just play around the house where I can see you. Okay, I'm gonna go wash behind my ears, then play outside. Heh heh. Task: Make Abraham Simpson I Play Outside (1h, Deep Dark Woods or Brown House) Being outside sucks. Hm. Sucks. I wonder if anyone's ever used that word as an insult. Maybe I just invented it! Woo hoo! *singing* Suck suck suck. Everything sucks. The trees, and the bees, and nature sucks. *Gasp* Ooh, a beautiful butterfly. I wanna smash it! C'mere you! Lemme smash you and put you in a book, so I can gaze at your beauty forever! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Nature Walk Pt. 2

After tapping on Abraham Simpson I's exclamation mark: Where did you go, butterfly? Come back! I won't smash you, I'll just starve you under a glass. Isn't that better? Uh oh, I don't recognize this part of the woods. It's kinda scary. Maybe a witch lives here. Or a troll. Or an old man who sits around writing poetry all day! *shrieks* I can hear the river, maybe I can follow it home. Task: Make Abraham Simpson I Follow the River (4h, Brown House) Ugh. Following rivers takes forever. It goes so much faster than me. Just look how fast those logs in it are going. Hmm. That gives me a brilliant idea. Abraham Simpson the First, you are the smartest boy in the whole world! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Nature Walk Pt. 3

After tapping on Abraham Simpson I's exclamation mark: I'll explain my idea to myself out loud, just to make sure I got it. I'll get on top of one of these driftwood logs on the riverbank, kick it into the river, then ride that log like a horsey all the way home. When I get to a place I recognize, I'll safely stop and get off the speeding river somehow. Here I go! Task: Make Abraham Simpson I Ride That Log Like a Horse (4h, Brown House) Gah! This is nothing like riding a horse! It's scary, it smells bad, and it's hurting my crotch! I'm going too fast. Help! Help!!! Abraham Simpson, is that you, son?

I'm gonna put all my focus on catching the r-- Ooh, there's that butterfly! Task: Make Abraham Simpson I Catch the Rope (4h, Brown House) I got it! I'm gonna pull you in. Do not drop the rope to grab the butterfly. Okay, but now that you said it, it's all I can think about. Don't drop that dang rope, boy! If you drown today, I'm gonna give you such a spanking!

Alright, get ready for supper you two. Wow, thanks for covering for me, Poppa. If Mommy woulda found out I was by the river, she would've spanked me somethin' awful. I'm not gonna tell her, son. Because you're gonna give me all your wheel cakes for a month. Awwwww. Is it too late to just drown instead? Task: Make Abraham Simpson I Wish He'd Drowned (4h, Brown House) Quest reward: 200 and 20

Running With the Bullies

Running With the Bullies Pt. 1

After tapping on Bully Boss' exclamation mark: Welcome, young bully. I see you've come seeking my counsel. Nah, I'm just here to throw rocks at trains. But I am the Boss of all Bullies! The Master of Mayhem! The Wizard of Wedgies! Do you live in that box? Your training shall begin immediately! Lift up these bags to strengthen your wedgie muscles... then carry them to my box. Task: Make Bully Boss Take Nelson Under His Wing (8h, Springfield Elementary) Task: Make Nelson Do Menial Chores (8h, Springfield Elementary) What does cleaning the box you live in have to do with bullying? It's to teach you discipline. Also I was manipulating you, which is a form of bullying. Nice. Maybe I could learn from you. Can I call you Dad? No. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Running With the Bullies Pt. 2

After tapping on Nelson's exclamation mark: It's almost lunch time. I usually accept "donations" from nerds around this time. Getting lunches from kids is kids' stuff -- it's all baloney sandwiches. If you want to get the good stuff, like stew in a mug, you have to go after the teachers. Who wants stew in a mug? More stew in a mug for me! Task: Make Bully Boss Steal Teachers' Lunches (1h, Springfield Elementary) You seem a little old to be attending elementary school. The only one getting schooled is you. Gimme your lunch!

Running With the Bullies Pt. 3

After tapping on Nelson's exclamation mark: That was intense. I never thought of bullying the teachers. No one is off limits. Bullying even works on old people. No, don't take my medicine! I need it to keep my face from unwrinkling. Task: Make Bully Boss Bully the Elderly (4h, Retirement Castle) Bullying nerds is one thing. Even Principal Skinner I could get behind. But bullying old people just seems wrong. We can bully them even after they get old. Let's get shovels and go bully some corpses! What?! I went too far there, didn't I? Yeah, let's not do that. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Running With the Bullies Pt. 4

After tapping on Bully Boss' exclamation mark: Every good bully needs to have minions. I don't have minions but my friends Dolph, Kearney, and Jimbo help me terrorize the school. Bullies don't have friends. Let me show you how to inspire them to be your followers. Task: Make Bully Boss Address the Crowd (12h) You inspired them alright, but now they're YOUR followers, not mine. Awesome! Tell them to get some shovels and meet me at the graveyard! Forget it, weirdo. I'm out. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Running With the Bullies Pt. 5

After tapping on Nelson's exclamation mark: I appreciate you teaching me everything you know. And I hope I never have to see you again. It was my pleasure.

Task: Make Bully Boss Backtrack On What He Said (8h, Springfield Elementary) Fine, I'll let you call me your friend... if you promise to leave me alone from now on. It's a deal, friend! Now beat it, creep! Go walk around the town with the rest of the losers! Such good bullying. My work here is done. Quest reward: 200 and 20

Man of Yesteryear

Man of Yesteryear Pt. 1

After tapping on Virgil Simpson's exclamation mark: What in the world? Where am I? It worked! Don't freak out, I'm your great-great-great-great-granddaughter, Zia. My great-what-where-daughter, who-a? This is the year 2041. You're almost two hundred years in the future. Ahhhh!!! Send me back! I wanna see my family! Well, technically, you don't have a family. You're a clone with implanted memories of a past you never actually lived. Ahhhhhh!!!! Task: Make Virgil Simpson Freak Out (4h, Brown House) Task: Make Zia Simpson Try to Calm Virgil Down With a Hot Chamomile Tea (8h, Future Simpson's House, Frink's Lab or Brown House) The future? Dear God. What's it like? Who won the Civil War? Which one? There've been five. Does racism still exist? The human race has evolved beyond the pettiness of racial bigotry. Whew. I'm finally free from persecution. Now they're just racist against clones. Ah, crap. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Man of Yesteryear Pt. 2

After tapping on Virgil Simpson's exclamation mark: Why the hell did you bring me here, little girl? To help me with my family tree presentation for school. After that, I can put you in the Clone Recycler and you'll go back to your previous state of, uh, "not existing". Hm. "Not existing". I see. Interesting. Pardon me a sec... Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Great-great-great-great-great Grampa, come back! Wait, that was one too many "greats". It's four, not five. Great-great-great-great Grampa, come back!!! *counting* One-two-three-four. Perfect. Task: Make Virgil Simpson Outrun Zia (4h, Brown House) The clown! I recognize you. My God! You haven't aged a day! I'm almost a hundred years old, pal. Flattery will get you nowhere. Unless you're a foxy broad, which you do not appear to be. It's me, Virgil! You helped hide me at your circus. I don't have a circus, Mac. I had a TV show. Until "cancel culture" caught up with me. The network "cancelled" my show because it had no "culture". I don't know what any of that means, but I need you to help me again. Again? Were we in a cult together? Pyramid scheme? Buddy cop movie in the eighties? If you wanna make a sequel, all inquiries need to go through my agent, who died twenty years ago. Argh! You're no help at all! Don't call me until there's a script attached! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Man of Yesteryear Pt. 3

After tapping on Virgil Simpson's exclamation mark: My God. The future is such a crazy place. Such tall buildings. So many horseless carriages. So many discarded scooters on the ground. Excuse me, fine sir. I am a time traveller from the year 2020. Can you tell me what year it is? You're from the past? Me too! Ah, it is indeed a small world, universe, and space time continuum. Glayvin. You know, it really really is. Task: Make Virgil Simpson Tell Prof. Frink His Story and Ask Him What Glayvin Means (4h, Brown House) Heavens. A clone with implanted memories who is being hunted by a killer. That's quite a story. I think I will go back in time, write a movie about it, and call it "The Runner, with the Blades, and the Hoivik, and Glayvinnn and the Running. So Much Running". It can't fail with a title like that. I assume. What's a screenplay? A waste of time, unless you have a star attached. Wow. In the future you have control of the stars? Only agents and publicists do. Wow. They must be gods amongst men. They certainly think of themselves that way. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Man of Yesteryear Pt. 4

If the user has Zia Simpson: After tapping on Zia Simpson's exclamation mark: If the user doesn't have Zia Simpson: After completing Man of Yesteryear Pt. 3: G-X-4 Grampa. I found you! What did you call me? G-X-4 Grampa. It's an abbreviation of great-great-great-great Grampa. It's shorter. By one syllable. Right. Think of all the time we'll save. The math checks out! Tell me, child. Why did you bring this man-clone here just to hunt him and kill him, with the hurting and the chasing? G-X-4 Grampa, I didn't bring you here to kill you. I brought you here to find out more about the harsh realities of early African American history. Really? It's very important to document and pass down these stories. "Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it". I believe the great Elon Musk said that. Or at least he claims he did. Task: Make Virgil Simpson Be Impressed (4h, Brown House) Task: Make Zia Simpson Use the Ultranet to Find Out Who Said That Quote (4h, Brown House) You know, once your historic interview is done, I could send G-X-4 Grampa to an alternate dimension where racism does not exist. For humans, or clones. Will my family be there? Do you want them to be? Of course. I had to ask. You'd be surprised how many people do not like their relatives. Myself, included. *sighs* Quest reward: 100 and 10

Man of Yesteryear Pt. 5

After tapping on Virgil Simpson's exclamation mark: ...And then I lived a long and happy life in Canada. Wow. What a tale. I'm glad I was able to record it. But I'm sorry I brought you here without really considering your feelings. Yeah, that happens a lot a couple hundred years ago. I hope you can forgive me. You're family, kid. Of course I can. I'll miss you, great-great-great-great Grampa. I'll miss you too. And I'm gonna tell my son, your great-great-great Grampa all about you. I would advise against that, as the space time continuum could shatter if— *disappears* Oh well, fingers crossed. Task: Make Professor Frink Cross His Fingers (4h, Brown House) Task: Make Virgil Simpson See His Family Again (4h, Brown House) Thanks for all your help, Prof. Frink. Think nothing of it. So what did you come to the future for? Well, building my time machine was a very expensive endeavor, so I thought I'd pay it off by buying a Sports Almanac from said future, and wagering on the predetermined outcome of said games. Like in Back to the Future 2? No, not like that at all. Now tell me, where can I find a Sports Almanac store? Sports don't exist anymore. They were deemed too dangerous for humans to play. *sigh* The mob is going to kill me. Quest reward: 200 and 20
