Dialogue

Pt. 1

Between October 21, 2022 and November 16, 2022 I am quite intrigued by this future of yours! For a man who wrote ghoulish and ghastly tales, I wasn't expecting you to be so...chipper. I have my bright spots. Since it's your All Hallow's Eve, I'll turn my enthusiasm down to somber. That's sweet! Let me take you to Spine Chills. It's an entire neighborhood decorated for Halloween. Capital! Have I dressed appropriately? As a tortured writer who's been dead for a long time...you're nailing it! Task: "Collect Pumpkins" (x115). Task: "Make Lisa Cringe at Poe's Strutting". The job takes place at a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. Good people of Springfield, it is I! The man who invented horror! If you ignore non-English-speaking writers and various female authors. Bask in my macabre genius! Cool! Did you invent the slasher genre? I have no idea what you're talking about. Oh, then you're the guy who started the whole "hockey mask dude goes to the sorority party, kills everyone with a chainsaw, and fills the swimming pool with their blood". What? Dear Lord, no! What is wrong with you children? Kids, this is the most important person who ever lived — the old-timey man who invented fried chicken in a bucket. Genius! Oh, the horror. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Spine Chills

Pt. 2

After completing Pt. 1 The nerve of that oaf! Fried chicken in a bucket indeed! In my father's defense, you are old-timey, your hair is as greasy as fried chicken...and you do smell fowl. *giggles* That last one was a joke. I'm sick and tired of being a 21st Century joke. Maybe it's time to reinvent yourself — Poe 2.0! Or "Edgar Allan 2-point-Poe", if you will. *giggles* That last one was MY joke! Task: "Collect Pumpkins" (x115). If Edgar Allan Poe is owned: Task: "Make Poe Go On a Shopping Spree". The job takes place at a Shop or Kwik-E-Mart and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Lisa Go Shopping With Poe". The job takes place at a Shop or Kwik-E-Mart and takes 4 hours. Look out, modern world, here comes an all-new Edgar Allan Poe! I was hoping for a slower Poe roll-out. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Jack-O-Lantern Bouncy House

Pt. 3

After completing Pt. 2 So, on Halloween the Pine Hills neighborhood becomes Spine Chills! Neat, huh? So many ghosts and skeletons...very "neat" indeed! The ghosts and skeletons are actually kids in costumes trick-or-treating. What is this trick-or-treating of which you speak? It's when you go door-to-door asking people to give you treats. Like opium? No! Like candy. Ah, you must mean cinchona bark, camphor, and mercury! Oh, boy. I'm going to have to start at chocolate square one with you. Task: "Collect Pumpkins" (x145). Task: "Make Lisa Explain Modern Halloween". The job takes place at Spine Chills, Krustyland Halloween Horror Night, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. If Edgar Allan Poe is owned: Task: "Make Poe Be Distracted by Sexy Costumes". The job takes place at Spine Chills, Krustyland Halloween Horror Night, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. ...you see, no one actually likes black licorice — hey, are you listening to me, Mr. Poe? Bide a moment, child. I'm observing the leathered mating dance of your borough's Hippocrates. That's Dr. Hibbert dressed as Marlon Brando from "The Wild Ones." Hope you don't mind me getting fresh and funky. Vroom-vroom! Maybe we should only focus on the ghosts, pirates, and princesses for right now? Quest reward: 100 and 10 Spook House

Pt. 4

After completing Pt. 3 I find your Halloween's fixation on candy treats an affront to all that is macabre and mysterious. Hey, man, don't knock it till you've tried it! Tis true. I did like the occasional pine sap and hot-buttered acorn when I was a lad. Chomp on this, dark nerd! Be careful, Mr. Poe. That one chocolate bar contains more sugar than you've consumed in your entire life! Don't listen to her! Here, eat ten of 'em! This-candy-is-great-wow-I've-never-had-so-much-energy! I want more! Gimme-gimme-gimme! Now you gotta burn that energy off in the jack-o-lantern moon bounce! No, Bart. Not a good idea— BOUNCY PUMPKIN! BOUNCE-BOUNCE-BOUNCE! I don't want to be around when all that candy you fed him comes out. I do! That's all the fun! Task: "Collect Pumpkins" (x145). Task: "Make Lisa Try to Talk Poe Down". The job takes place at Jack-O-Lantern Bouncy House, Spine Chills, Krustyland Halloween Horror Night, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart Encourage Poe". The job takes place at Jack-O-Lantern Bouncy House, Spine Chills, Krustyland Halloween Horror Night, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. If Edgar Allan Poe is owned: Task: "Make Poe Bounce Around Like a Fool". The job takes place at Jack-O-Lantern Bouncy House, Spine Chills, Krustyland Halloween Horror Night, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. The candy and the bouncing may have been a mistake. Will you slow down your jumping into the 21st Century now? I'll let you know when I stop being sick. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Toilet-Papered Flanders House

Pt. 5

After completing Pt. 4 Your Halloween has left me nauseated and in an ill temper. You were blowing mega chunks of Butterfingers, dude! You have mocked the Grandmaster of Horror long enough! Mr. Poe, maybe we should all just calm down and— Now you will know true horror, Springfield! This is where things go off the rails, isn't it? Oh, yeah. Task: "Collect Pumpkins" (x185). Task: "Make Lisa Hope Poe Doesn't Do Anything Too Crazy". The job takes place at Spine Chills, Krustyland Halloween Horror Night, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart Look Forward to the Crazy". The job takes place at Spine Chills, Krustyland Halloween Horror Night, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. If Edgar Allan Poe is owned: Task: "Make Poe Summon True Horror". The job takes place at Spine Chills, Krustyland Halloween Horror Night, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. Behold, Springfield! Face the horror of Mopey Mary! Awesome! What's up, yo? Wait, why Mopey Mary when you could have summoned Madeline from "The Fall of the House of Usher." Madeline needs 48 hours notice. I went with who I could get. Quest reward: 200 and 20 Mopey Mary
