|
Darn, yet another apocalypse didn't come to pass. Us preppers just can't catch a break.
|
|
|
I had so many plans for the post-apocalyptic hellscape: shaving my hair into a mohawk, wearing all leather, instituting a Beanie Baby-based currency...
|
|
|
I should stop talking to myself before people start thinking the guy-who's-rooting-for-society-to-collapse is crazy!
|
|
I'll just write my thoughts in my journal. Now, which Beanie Baby notebook should I use...
|
| Task: "Make Lloyd Journal Apocalyptic Thoughts". The job takes place at the Preppers' Compound and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
Wow, I feel like I emptied my head of everything that was in there. Better go to Moe's to fill it back up with cheap booze.

|
|
Look at all these pages! Writing's sorta like prepping for the apocalypse, but instead of gathering canned beans and ammo, you just gather your thoughts...most of which are about ammo.
|
|
Have you ever thought about getting a publisher and making this into a book?
|
|
Of course I have! Half the reason I got into prepping was to make my way into the literati!
|
|
Oh, so you don't need our advice?
|
|
|
Only thing I need is to decide which publishing house I'm gonna go with: Simon & Shooter, Random Bunker, Doubledoomsday, HarperShut-ins...
|
| Task: "Make Lloyd Choose a Publisher". The job takes place at the Preppers' Compound and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
Boy, these prepper publishers sure know how to moonshine and dine a fella!

|
| After tapping on Lloyd's exclamation mark
|
|
Well, which publisher did ya go with? Lemme guess: you decided to self-publish.
|
|
|
No way! I'll risk being self-sufficient when society falls, but I need professionals to get this book into as many stores as possible.
|
|
|
I went with Oxford University Press. Those cutthroat psychos will get this book on more shelves than a prepper's jars during pickling season.
|
|
|
So, what's next? You work with an editor to get your book in perfect shape?
|
|
|
Nah, they got people to do that for me. I have to work on something far more important: my photo for the book cover!
|
| Task: "Make Lloyd Have a Photo Shoot for the Book". The job takes place at the Preppers' Compound and takes 6 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10

|
|
|
I really wanted my true self to show, so I went with this photo of me looking pensive riding a motorcycle while smoking a pipe and writing with a quill pen.
|
|
Ah, the understated look. Wearing two monocles was a nice touch, too.
|
|
There he is, the author of "Thus Prepped Zarathustra"!
|
|
Lloyd! Lloyd! Sign my book!
|
|
This book is brilliant! Where do you get your ideas?!
|
|
|
Same place I get everything else: from inside my windowless bunker!
|
Task: "Make Lloyd Meet With Fans". The job takes place at the Preppers' Compound and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Springfielders Get Books Autographed" (x5). The jobs take place at the Preppers' Compound and take 4 hours.

|
*sigh*
|
|
|
What's the matter, Lloyd? Weren't PREPARED for the downside of fame?
|
|
|
"Downside"?! Fame's great! Money, adulation, all the canned beans I could eat!
|
|
|
But I made the classic prepper mistake: I confused my own thoughts with the plotline of Kevin Costner's post-apocalyptic masterpiece "The Postman".
|
|
|
My book has been recalled for copyright infringement and I'm being sued by Warner Bros. Their lawyers are more vicious than any band of blood-thirsty, nomadic marauders.
|
|
|
They even took my monocles. Suddenly, the end of the world doesn't seem so bad. Guess I'll get back to preparing for it...
|
| Task: "Make Lloyd Prepare for the End". The job takes place at the Preppers' Compound and takes 8 hours.
|
| Quest reward: 200 and 20
