Dialogue
Pt. 1
| After starting the update
|
|
Halloween approaches. The time when my evil powers are at their height.
|
|
|
Tonight my foul presence will bring terror to the huddled, fearful mortals of Springfield.
|
|
Could you stop off at the Kwik-E-Mart? We need more kitchen trash bags.
|
|
But I’m flying home as a bat! I’ll look like an idiot carrying a shopping bag.
|
|
Do it! Or tonight your foul presence will be bringing terror to the living room sofa.
|
|
Yes, Dear.
|
Task: "Make Springfielders Ignore Count Dracula" (x5). The jobs take place at Homes and take 6 seconds.
If Count Dracula is owned: Task: "Make Count Dracula Fail to Scare Springfielders". The job takes place at Homes and takes 6 seconds.
|
| After starting Count Dracula's job
|
|
|
*hypnotizing stare* I want to drink your blood!
|
|
Really? You look a little old to be a network executive.
|
|
Oh Krusty, if I wasn’t already undead, you’d slay me!
|
| After finishing the tasks
|
|
I do not understand. Not a single person in this town is scared by me.
|
|
|
I even bit this woman and she started coming on to me.
|
|
*laughs sheepishly* I haven't had action like that in years.
|
Quest reward:  100 and  10
|
|
Pt. 2
| After completing Pt. 1
|
|
Why is no one scared of me? You’d think people deal with unholy bloodsuckers every day.
|
|
|
They do: Freemium game designers.
|
|
Our only hope is to use our vampire allure and turn the people of Springfield into our minions.
|
|
|
But first we’ll have to get rid of the most dangerous and sexy man in town.
|
| Task: "Make Ned Fend Off Vampires". The job takes place at Flanders House and takes 6 seconds.
|
| After starting the job
|
|
Hey, hey, the only woman I let bite my neck is my wife!
|
|
|
Then what’s the problem. Just like her, I’m dead. *long suck*
|
|
Ooh, I feel like an altar boy who’s been overdoing the communion wine…
|
| After finishing the task
|
|
|
Homer, help! Vampires are trying to kill me.
|
|
Don’t worry! Vampires can’t stand garlic. Just hang these cloves around your neck.
|
|
|
Garlic? That’s awfully French. I’ll stick with the vampires.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 3
| After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark
|
|
Homer, our city is being stalked by vampires!
|
|
Nooo! They’re so terrifyingly moody and angst-ridden.
|
|
Have no flayvin! Lengthy computer simulations have revealed the way to defeat them.
|
|
|
We must dig up ancient relics from the old Van Flanders ruins, and use them to summon a mythical ancient power.
|
|
|
The legends call it “Sky Finger” and apparently it has a mysterious power called “tapping”.
|
Reward:  10
|
Task: "Place Old Ruins".
Task: "Discover a Relic".
|
|
Is this it?
|
|
That's a rock.
|
|
|
Is this it?
|
|
|
That's the same rock.
|
|
I’m bored.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 4
| After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark
|
|
|
We need to dig up more ancient relics and use them to defeat the evil besetting our town.
|
|
Stupid relics. I’ve already broken three of your shovels digging them up. More shovels please.
|
|
I call upon the sky lord to grant us a forge burning with righteousness, forming metal into pickaxes of holy fury.
|
|
Stupid Flanders! Why didn’t you wish for a beer and a jackhammer!
|
Task: "Place Holy Forge". It takes 6 seconds.
Task: "Acquire Pickaxes" (x3).
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 5
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
Look out! Vampires! Stake ‘em!
|
|
*snarls*
|
|
No, Homer, those monsters are actually our fellow townspeople!
|
|
|
Definitely stake 'em!
|
|
|
The vampires have used their “allure” to put a curse on regular people.
|
|
I think I know how to free them from the allure, but we’ll need to use the ceremonies written in the old Flanders family tome.
|
|
|
Now where did I put that tome?
|
|
|
I borrowed it to put under the leg of my wobbly coffee table.
|
Task: "Place Flanders Family Tome".
Task: "Tap the Flanders Family Tome to Cleanse All Monster Minions".
Task: "Clear the Curse on Monster Minions in Friends Towns" (x3).
|
|
Wow, that tome of yours has some kickass anti-minion power.
|
|
It also has a mighty good recipe for lemonade. Like to try some?
|
|
|
We’re allies, not friends.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 6
| After completing Pt. 5
|
|
You'll never stop my minions. We will scatter to the dark corners of Springfield!
|
|
Hmm, we do have a LOT of dark corners in this town.
|
|
It’s the heart of our latest tourist campaign: “Springfield, Where Lovers Can Watch the Stars”.
|
|
Because we never repair the street lights.
|
|
That's it! If we create a dark and spooky area around the old ruins, it'll attract the vampire minions, and keep them out of the town!
|
|
The Frink Future Predictor gives that plan a nintey-nine percent chance of success!
|
|
|
But an eighty-seven percent chance the Frink Future Predictor itself is just a worthless piece of junk. Frink away!
|
Task: "Craft a Decoration".
Task: "Reach 5% Curse Bonus".
|
|
*inquisitive growl*
|
|
It's working! The spooky ruins are attracting the minions!
|
|
|
Once again, the Frink Future Predictor is right!
|
|
Everyone wants into the game.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 7
| After tapping on Count Dracula's exclamation mark
|
|
Vladdy, dearest, my idiotic minions are hiding in the dark instead of chasing victims.
|
|
Yes, the decision to make them mindless does seem to have some drawbacks.
|
|
|
On the other hand, I think we can draw them out of the shadows with the one thing mindless people love.
|
|
|
A shopping district.
|
| Task: "Unlock and Build Dracula-la Land". It takes 4 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 8
| After completing Pt. 7
|
|
|
I thought if we could defeat any town, it would be this one.
|
|
|
No kidding. Last spring, Springfield couldn’t even manage to handle an outbreak of athlete’s foot.
|
|
|
Still can’t. My toes are itching the hell out of me.
|
|
|
Stand back, Vladdy. It’s time to see what a three-hundred-year-old lady vampire can do to this town.
|
|
|
My dear, you don’t look a day over two-fifty.
|
| Task: "Unlock Countess Dracula".
|
|
|
Well, this didn't go as planned.
|
|
|
That's Springfield, baby! If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
|
|
|
Don’t worry about it, my darling. Go have a nice nap in your coffin.
|
|
|
I can’t! I drank so much blood I’m too fat to fit in it.
|
|
|
Aw, you can burn those calories off in no time. Just stay up until the sun comes out.
|
| Message
|
The Vampire invasion has been thwarted. But you can still send Countess Dracula on her job to Create Monster Minions!
|
| Message
|
You have completed the Act 1 story! Keep Springfielders digging and cleansing Monster Minions, Act 2 starts soon!
