Dialogue

Pt. 1

Between December 24, 2023 and January 10, 2024 What a wonderful week we've had up here. Okay, kids, enjoy one last evening. We head back home tomorrow morning. As a memento, can I bring back a few skulls to add to my collection at home? All except the human one. No problemo. I've got all of those I need already. Mom, I want to take Maggie for one last walk today. We have a few trees to say good-bye to. Just make sure you bundle up. It's cold. And stay on the property. Absolutely! Come on, Maggie. Task: "Collect Snowshoes" (x115). Task: "Make Lisa Go for a Hike". The job takes place at the Holiday Cabin, Virgil's Cabin, Fever Cabin, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. If Maggie is owned: Task: "Make Maggie Go for a Hike". The job takes place at the Holiday Cabin, Virgil's Cabin, Fever Cabin, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Isn't this great, Maggie? Look at all of this untouched nature! And to think our family owns all of this! It's ours to do whatever we want with or ensure it stays like this forever! This must be what it feels like to be rich...or God. Oh cool! A lake! *suck suck* Come on, Maggie, unless they see it for themselves they won't believe me. Just like the time I saw Grampa fall up a flight of stairs. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Mt. Swartzwelder Cider Mill Sign

Pt. 2

After completing Pt. 1 Mom! Maggie and I found a beautiful lake on our property! And it's not even frozen! Not frozen? At these nose-nipping temperatures? I think it's geothermal. I think you're geo-lame-o. Hm, I didn't see any mention of a lake on the map, but you know how mountain people are. Maps are the work of the devil! Let's go check it out. Bart, since when are you a nature lover? Since it's our lake and since I gotta go pee. Bart! We are not animals. Use the pit outside like the rest of us. Task: "Collect Snowshoes" (x150).

The lake is...beautiful. It's also glowing. Yeah, I didn't notice that before in the sunlight. Hey, I recognize that green glow. That's the same color as the stuff that we pump out of the reactor at work. That's it! The heat. The glow. Oh, this is terrible! Sure is. I hate being reminded of work. Dad, I think our lake is being used as a radiological chemical dump. *swimming* A what now? Quest reward: 100 and 10 Toxic Waste Lake

Pt. 3

After completing Pt. 2 A lake of toxic waste on our own property. This is terrible! Eh, don't worry, Lisa! We can sell it when we get back to Springfield. No, we can't. Lis, this is America and we can do anything on or with our property we want to. Even run around naked on it like Johnny Appleseed! I keep telling you that's not what he did! Dad, this isn't just a little bit of toxic waste, this is a toxic Superfund site! Super fun? You're overselling it, Lis. I mean, it's okay I guess. No, a Superfund site! It's seriously toxic which means it's illegal for us to sell it. Oh, this is the worst thing I've ever heard in my life! No, it's not. Task: "Collect Snowshoes" (x115).

We can't sell it and we're legally responsible for cleaning it up. Aww, I hate cleaning. How about I hire someone to do it? What kind of bill am I looking at here? Hundreds of millions of dollars. Hundreds of millions of dollars? That's exactly the dollars I was planning to win in the lottery some day! Quest reward: 100 and 10 1

Pt. 4

After completing Pt. 3 Sweetie, is there anything we can do about this? Not really. We're legally obligated to report it and then we'll be on the hook for cleanup. Well...we don't have to report it if no one else ever knows, right? What? I mean...it's just us, here! If we don't tell anyone, who will know? I won't tell anyone as long as you make it worth my while. Remind me to strangle you later. Dad, we have to do something. Think of Mother Earth! Think how we won't be able to afford your college education if we have to pay to clean this mess up. Hm, come to think of it I do already have a mother... And your mother says we need to do the right thing! Unfortunately. Hey, did you guys see that? Someone's moving out there. What? Task: "Collect Snowshoes" (x115). Task: "Make the Simpsons See Who It Is" (x4). The jobs take place at the Holiday Cabin, Flanders' Cabin, Virgil's Cabin, Fever Cabin, or a Brown House and take 4 hours. Is that...Smithers? And who's that with him? Looks like a hairless howler monkey. No, it's Mr. Burns! And looks like Mr. Burns has a gun. Oh no, this might be about that note I left in the suggestion box. Why did I sign it?! Actually, it looks like Mr. Burns is dressed for hunting. Let's go find out! But we have to approach carefully from behind. We don't want them mistaking us for a bunch of mooses. The proper term is a "gang" of moose. I vote Lisa walks in front. Who's with me? Quest reward: 100 and 10 Buffalo Massacre

Pt. 5

After completing Pt. 3 Smithers, I'm still not seeing anything. Sound the moose call again. Yes, sir. *blows into horn* AAH! Ah! There you are! Die, innocent scum! *fires* Sir, may I recommend we save ammo for the big game? Good point, Smithers. I wouldn't want to mount that head on my wall anyways. Hello, Waylon. Mr. Burns. Marge Simpson? Who are you people? Why are you scaring away my quarry? This is Homer Simpson and his family, sir. Simpson, Simpson...not ringing any bells. Mr. Simpson is your plant's Nuclear Safety Inspector, sir. My plant has a horrible safety record. Are you really sure I can't shoot him? Task: "Collect Snowshoes" (x185). Task: "Make Homer Try to Remember Their Questions". The job takes place at the Holiday Cabin, Flanders' Cabin, Virgil's Cabin, Fever Cabin, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. If Smithers is owned: Task: "Make Smithers Silently Apologize to Marge". The job takes place at the Holiday Cabin, Flanders' Cabin, Virgil's Cabin, Fever Cabin, or a Brown House and takes 4 hours. Sir, did you happen to notice that the lake seems to be...glowing and steaming? Of course! And you're welcome. So it is you! Of course it is. When isn't it? Mr. Burns, shame on you. What gives you the right to do this? An agreement with the current owner bestowing me permission to dump nuclear waste here for the next eighty years. Grampa agreed to that?! He also gave me permission to hunt here, so if you'll step aside...I need to kill something today or I won't be able to live with myself. Smithers! Blow the call again! Yes, sir. *blows moose call* Hang on. I thought we owned this place. Not yet, Dad. The current owner is still Grampa. We won't be responsible for it until it passes to us when he passes. Then in that case I hope he never dies! Did I really just say that? Quest reward: 200 and 20 Hunter Mr. Burns
