Dialogue
Pt. 1
| After tapping on Kumiko's exclamation mark
|
|
Ah, Springfield! I can't think of a better way to finish my tour of America's saddest cities.
|
|
What about Detroit? Or Flint? Or pretty much anything in Michigan?
|
|
|
I said sad, not imploding.
|
|
|
Would you mind if I captured your image, in order to always remember our meeting?
|
|
|
You mean take my photo?
|
|
|
Please, Japanese people taking photos is the stereotype of my father's generation.
|
|
|
I wish to sketch you in my overly-cute-for-a-woman-my-age Hello Kitty notebook.
|
|
|
Well, okay. But let me turn to the side a little. I'm told I'm easier to draw that way.
|
| Task: "Make Kumiko Sketch Springfielders". The job takes 8 hours.
|
Quest reward:  100 and  10

Pt. 2
| After tapping on Kumiko's exclamation mark
|
|
Before, the sadness of Springfield made me happy. But now I'm remembering happy times in Japan, which makes me sad.
|
|
|
We have a word for that here -- homesick. Also, crazy. Maybe it would cheer you up if I showed you around?
|
|
|
I would like that. Perhaps you take me to your place of business.
|
|
Uh… How about I show you the Kwik-E-Mart instead?
|
| Task: "Make Kumiko Visit Springfield's Saddest Kwik-E-Mart". The job takes place at a Kwik-E-Mart and takes 2 hours.
|
|
|
Cookies? Candy bars? Cup-o-soups? This store just sells things you could find in an American vending machine.
|
|
|
I wish to see something more unusual and exotic, like the things you find in a Japanese vending machine!
|
|
We do have magazines.
|
|
Do any of them have racy adult content yet look like they were drawn for children?
|
|
|
No.
|
|
|
Then again I am sad.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3
| After tapping on Kumiko's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Still mopey, eh?
|
|
|
Yes, a bit. Perhaps a traditional Japanese meal would cure my homesickness.
|
|
Great. So now I have to build that sushi restaurant?
|
|
|
No, I was talking about going to Krusty Burger. There's one every block where I come from.
|
|
|
I knew there was a reason Japanese obesity was on the rise. Count me in!
|
Task: "Reach Level 7 and Build Krusty Burger".
Task: "Make Kumiko Eat America's Saddest Fast Food". The job takes place at a Krusty Burger and takes 60 minutes.
Task: "Make Homer Eat America's Saddest Fast Food". The job takes place at a Krusty Burger and takes 60 minutes.
|
After starting the jobs
|
|
|
It is just like the Krusty Burger in my own village. Only you can't get sake with your meal.
|
|
Sake? That's rice wine! Can you really get booze in fast food restaurants in Japan?
|
|
|
I don't know. But it sounds like something that could be true.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10

|
Pt. 4
| After completing Pt. 3
|
|
|
Hey Kumiko! It looks like you finally cheered up, huh?
|
|
|
No, I am still sad. And the fact that you racistly cannot read emotion on Japanese faces makes me sadder.
|
|
|
What?! No, I… the sun was in my eyes.
|
|
|
Perhaps I just miss my family… especially my short-sighted and controlling father. I wish he were here.
|
|
|
Well, that's one thing I've never said about MY father.
|
|
|
But maybe you could have your father come visit?
|
|
|
Or maybe you'll meet someone new who'll make you forget all about your sadness?
|
|
|
And maybe that will all happen this weekend, on a show I recently learned is still on TV.
