Dialogue
Pt. 1
| After tapping on The Grumple's exclamation mark
|
|
Far north of North Portland, just past Mount Mahorn
You'll find the brown shack where the Grumple was born
|
|
|
He lived all his days in that brown domicile
Just drumming his Grump-drum and smiling his smile
|
|
|
Till one day his neighbors, each wearing a frown
Cried "monster!" and "kill it!" and burned the place down
|
|
|
The Grumple was frightened but quick to forgive
He knew he'd find somewhere a Grumple could live
|
|
|
He traveled by night, always hiding in shadow
And searched all through Georgia and then Colorado
|
|
|
Till seeing Fair Springfield, where once was a dome,
He giggled and jiggled and knew he was home
|
|
"I'll find a nice house, where a Grumple can drum,
Why there's dozens of blue ones to generate income!"
|
|
|
And so off he set, with a "Grumplety-Groo!
I've excellent credit and references too!"
|
| Task: "Make the Grumple Find a House". The job takes place at a Visitable Home and takes 12 hours.
|
Quest reward:  100 and  10
|
|
Pt. 2
| After tapping on The Grumple's exclamation mark
|
|
|
The Grumple, determined, searched high and searched low,
He wanted a floor plan with really good flow
|
|
|
nd found just the place! In the center of town
Was a home that was pleasant and best of all... BROWN!
|
| Task: "Make the Grumple Move into the Brown House". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 4 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 3
| After tapping on The Grumple's exclamation mark
|
|
|
He bought chairs and tables, though Grumples aren't rich
(and strangely are fond of mid-century kitsch)
|
|
|
He painted and sanded, real manual labors
And prayed that he wouldn't get killed by his neighbors
|
|
|
And lo and behold! The neighbors were nice!
Excepting, perhaps, the ones just to his right.
|
|
|
It's not that the Simpsons were awful unfriendly
It's just that they argued and yelled never-endly
|
|
|
A Grumple needs plenty of shut-eye each night
But Simpson-y screaming made Grumple uptight
|
| Task: "Make the Grumple Try to Sleep". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 8 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 4
| After tapping on The Grumple's exclamation mark
|
|
|
Would Simpsons be quiet, if Grumple asked nicely?
He begged them all once-ly, then pled with them twice-ly
|
|
|
But still, on they bellowed their bellow-ous roaring
And if they were sleeping, the fat one was snoring
|
|
|
If only the Simpsons had realized their danger
They might have respected this furry green stranger
|
|
|
And Grumple, that fun-loving, peaceable sort
He tried to find some way to be a good sport
|
|
|
To quiet the rage to which he was succumbing
The Grumple tried drumming, and drumming, and drumming
|
| Task: "Make the Grumple Play his Grump-Drum". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 24 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 5
| After tapping on The Grumple's exclamation mark
|
|
|
A well-rested Grumple is happy-go-lucky
A sleep-deprived Grumple? There's no one more sucky
|
|
|
The Grumple fought daily with murderous urges,
And dreams of dead Simpsons would flood him in surges
|
|
|
But maybe -- just maybe! -- all would have been well
Had Homer not done the next thing I will tell
|
|
|
Not paying attention while driving is dumb
And Homer's car, backing, crushed Grumple's Grump-drum
|
|
|
This drum Grumple's father had made for his son
Ere he died in the Great Grumple War of Aught-One
|
|
|
The drum went cuh-runch! And then Homer yelled "crap!"
And something inside of the Grumple went snap!
|
|
|
Down deep in his psyche a switch went flip-flop,
And poor Grumple's sanity burst with a pop!
|
| Task: "Make the Grumple Lose his Mind". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 12 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 6
| After tapping on The Grumple's exclamation mark
|
|
|
He waited till nighttime was darker than ink
Then into the Simpson house Grumple did slink
|
|
|
He snatched all the Simpsons with razor sharp claws
And just before shoving Bart into his jaws
|
|
|
Thought: "No! I'd much rather watch them die slow
And give them all reason to holler out 'D'oh!'"
|
|
|
"I'll bind them with tyings, this noise-ulous crew
And boil them slow-like, make Grumplety-stew!"
|
| Task: "Make the Grumple Prepare Grumple-ty Stew". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 8 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 7
| After tapping on The Grumple's exclamation mark
|
|
|
f Grumple had bothered to tie up the baby,
He'd still be alive today, Grump-drumming, maybe
|
|
|
But Maggie was, after all, Mr. Burns' shooter,
If you don't believe me, go ask your computer
|
|
|
The Grumple, he never had any idea
That of all the Simpsons (who're drawn in Korea)
|
|
|
The deadliest, shootin'-est one of them all
Was Maggie, who shot his brains onto the wall
|
|
|
The Grumple's last thought as life he did lose,
Was "Grumple you, Simpsons! You Grumplety Groos!
|
| Task: "Make the Grumple Die Cursing the Simpsons". The job takes place at a Brown House and takes 12 hours.
|
|
|
The Grumple has perished? You bought him with donuts!
|
|
|
(We'll reanimate him, so you guys don't go nuts.)
|
| Quest reward: 200 and 20
