Peaceful Groovy Feeling Pt. 1

After tapping on Marbles Le Marquez's exclamation mark: So who are these guys? Never heard of them. Boys, let's introduce ourselves properly. Homer! Lenny! Carl! Anddddddddd Lou! We're Hip-Hoppin' Homer and the Groovettes! Okay, uh, welcome to Groovetone Records. We're here to record our long-awaited sophomore album. Okay, well I'm Marbles. I'll be the studio musician doing your backup music. If you're ready to get started then— *gasp* Guys! We forgot the most important thing! Our big gold chain necklaces? No, our turtlenecks! We'll never get our sound right without our turtlenecks. Head to the store and pick up four of them. What? I'm a musician, not a— Oh, you thought I was talking to you? No, I was talking to our roadie, Kirk. I'm not a roadie, I'm an executive band assistant. We need three smalls and one XXL. I'm on it! Task: Make Kirk Shop for Turtlenecks (4h, Abercrombie and Rich, Victor's Secret, Gold Navy, The Vast Waistband or Brown House) Task: Make Homer Warm Up His Smooth Vocals (4h, Groovetone Record's, Simpson House or Brown House) Task: Make Marbles Le Marquez Tune Instruments (4h, Groovetone Record's, Simpson House or Brown House) Sorry it took so long getting those turtlenecks. Alright, here are your turtlenecks. Can we record your album now? The tight fabric on my neck pinches my trachea just right to give me those tight harmonies. I said XXL, what is this, Kirk? It's actually XXXL. Oh, maybe I have to break it in first. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Peaceful Groovy Feeling Pt. 2

After tapping on Marbles Le Marquez's exclamation mark: No woman, no pie! Ooooooh, ooooooooh! Cut! Cut! It's all wrong. Marbles, that smooth bass needs to be, uh...smoother. Smoother? Are you wanting funky smooth, groovy smooth, maybe some funky-groovy smooth? Obviously it needs to be a funky-groovy-light-hip-hoppin-smooth fusion. It's all in the sheet music! All right, calm down, James Brown. Task: Make Marbles Le Marquez Play the Smooth Bass Uh...Smoother (4h) Okay, that's sounding better, Marbles. But a bit of feedback...try to make it a little more, uh...shapely. Shapely? Yeah, you know, like how the bass strings should sound uh... measured but also...sardonic. What are you reading? Is that a thesaurus? No, I mean... *reads thesaurus* negative. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Peaceful Groovy Feeling Pt. 3

After tapping on Marbles Le Marquez's exclamation mark: *playing the bass* Is this sardonic enough for you? Oh, that's perfect. *the power goes out* *in the pitch black* Uh...Homer are you supposed to be at work right now? Oh, do I have to do everything?! Book the studio, Homer. Don't forget the turtlenecks, Homer. Show up to work so the town doesn't lose power, Homer. I've done enough. Let's get lunch. Kirk, head to the power plant and fix the problem. Okay, but I don't know what to do or where to go or— It's easy! Here, take this keycard. Just go into my office in Sector 7-G and push the red button. NOT the red button that makes the reactor melt down, the other red button. *groans* I'll help him.

I think I fixed everything — one of the reactors started leaking, but that's normal, right? We fixed it the best we could. Now can we please just finish recording your weird album, Homer? Hey! This is all part of the creative process! What you need to do is use all that frustration and inject it into the music! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Peaceful Groovy Feeling Pt. 4

After tapping on Marbles Le Marquez's exclamation mark: Alright, Marbles. This next song is gonna need you on the piano. It's a smooth groovin' tune about love, loss, and how much I hate Marge's sisters. Piano? But I'm a bass player. That's all I know how to play. Well, bass and triangle. Hmm, triangle might be better. This could be good. *triangle trill* I love it! Now try to keep up with us, we're gonna play at triple-time-divided-by-two. *groans* Task: Make Marbles Le Marquez Play the Triangle (4h, Groovetone Record's, Simpson House or Brown House) Task: Make Homer Sing About Marge's Stupid Sisters (4h, Groovetone Record's, Simpson House or Brown House) Homer, I've never met Marge's sisters, but there's so much raw passion in this song that I think I hate them more than anything in the world. That's the power of music, Lou. The power of music... Quest reward: 100 and 10

Peaceful Groovy Feeling Pt. 5

After tapping on Marbles Le Marquez's exclamation mark: Looks like the album is finally done. Marbles, time to get out there and sell. You want me to go sell your albums? But it's your band. I can't go out and sell the album. I have to think about the music. How do you think I come up with all this? Ooh, that could be a song! How do you think the music arrives? / Like rain on a desert mountain? / Like the sky falling down and crushing our lives? It's a work-in-progress. Task: Make Marbles Le Marquez Sell Albums on the Corner (1h) Task: Make Homer Wait for His Huge Payday (1h, Groovetone Record's, Simpson House or Brown House) Well, how many millions of albums did you sell? Two. Two million albums?! Two albums. To the same person. Marge Simpson. And then she returned them. Here's an itemized bill for the studio time. *gasp* This wasn't free? Um, Kirk will take care of it. What? RUN!!!!! Quest reward: 200 and 20

The Bionic Boy

The Bionic Boy Pt. 1

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: Skinny Palmer? Marbles Le Marquez? What are you doing here at my house? You're looking slick, Downbeat. Ugh, can we rethink my jazz name? I really think I'm more fitting of a name like— Nope. Jazz names don't change. You're Downbeat for life. *sigh* Okay...Downbeat it is. Cheer up, Downbeat. Is Tic Tock around? Bart! Your jazz friends want you to come out and play! What's up, Daddy-Os? Tic Tock, the Skinny Palmer Trio is at a crossroads. We've never drawn crowds like when we had Tic Tock Simpson tappin' the rat-a-tats and the clickety-clacks. Don't forget the skibbity-scats. You see? We're off our game. I even forgot the skibbity-scats. Though more specifically we are out of what I like to call jazz fuel. Mary Jane? No, money! I'm picking up shifts disinfecting shoes at the Bowlarama, and let me tell you that place is a jazz funeral — but less fun. Hmm, it's gonna be tough to fit you guys into my schedule, but being famous was pretty awesome... Please, Bart. Okay, I'll rejoin the band. On one condition, I get to decide where we go to lunch. You only ever want Krusty Burger...and I'm a vegetarian. I keep telling you, fries are a food group. Task: Make Tic Tock Simpson Sign Autographs for the Ladies (4h) So, I know how Lisa and I got our jazz names, but what about you guys? Oh, me? They call me "Skinny" because my metabolism is faster than "Jeep's Blues" played double-time on the jump. Alright, I'm gonna assume that's fast because I don't want to look it up. What about you, Marbles? I would prefer not to say. He accidentally thought a marble was a grape and the rest is history. That's why my teeth look like this. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Bionic Boy Pt. 2

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: Ugh, guys I'm trying, but ever since I got carpal tunnel playing "Conflict of Enemies", I haven't been able to drum the same. Oh, you'll be fine — carpal tunnel is no big deal. I played for sixty-three hours straight. Now my arm is blue and stiff enough to crack walnuts. *cracks a walnut* Well what about surgery? How much would it cost to fix it? They don't take insurance for videogame-related injuries, so the surgery's $78,000. I guess we'll just have to do a benefit concert. A benefit concert?! Outta sight! *down low* In the pocket! No! Guys, stop. Enough with the benefit concerts. We already did that, remember? And I gave all the money to Lisa. So what do we do? It sounds too easy, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to just ask her... Task: Make Tic Tock Simpson Ask Lisa for the Money (1h, Simpson House or Brown House) Bart, there is no more money. The bridge has been repaired and I spent the extra on making it do that thing where it lifts up to let boats pass. Whoa, I love when bridges do that! I never thought you'd actually use the money to save the bridge. I thought you were going to just put it toward your college fund. $50,000 tuition to go to college online? No thanks. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Bionic Boy Pt. 3

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: Sorry, guys. I talked to Downbeat, but she already spent the money. Man, that girl is always bringin' us down. But it's okay, because look at this ad I just discovered in the newspaper. Bionic prosthetics? And they're free as long as you agree to take part in their medical study and sign a two hundred and sixteen page waiver of liability! Tic Tock, you'll get your arm back and you'll end up being an even better drummer. Never before have I loved a plan as much as this one! Well, besides the time we tricked Milhouse into putting his finger in that pencil sharpener. And I didn't even get to get a cool bionic finger out of it. Task: Make Tic Tock Simpson Get a Bionic Arm (6h, Springfield General Hospital, Hibbert Family Practice or Brown House) And Bart, that's where we'll make a deep incision and attach the bionic arm to the nerve cluster. Cool! Can I get a laser on it? Or an attachment that shoots out ninja stars?! *chuckles* All in due time, Bart. I just need a signature on this form from one of your parents. Okay, signed. Where'd you come from? Oh, I was just stopping by. Artery got clogged again so they did one of those routine open-heart oil changes on me. None of that was routine. Well, good luck with the robo-arm. I'm off to get my routine bucket of chicken and barrel of beer. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Bionic Boy Pt. 4

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: This new bionic arm is awesome! A little hard to control though. Yeah, you ripped out my car door and nearly killed my cat when you petted him. Let's see how this Terminator arm does on the hi-hat. Real quick though, could you open this jar of pickles for me? These lil' baby dills been callin' my name, but the jar just won't give. *jar shatters* You must have loosened it. Task: Make Tic Tock Simpson Do Some Bionic Drumming (1h) Whoa, Tic Tock. You're rocking those drums harder than that verbally abused kid in "Whiplash"! With that bionic arm going, I think I feel a jazz name change comin'. How does "Iron Jam" sound? I have no control over the arm! Help! It won't stop! *drum smashes* Run! That arm thinks everything's a drum! Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Bionic Boy Pt. 5

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: Doc, you gotta get this thing off me. It's got a mind of its own! *chuckles* Oh, I should hope so. It sure wouldn't be very useful in our study on bionic artificial intelligence if it didn't. You did read the paperwork? Ahhhh! My hand keeps trying to steal your syringe off you and kill me with it! *scribbling notes* Wants to kill patient...knows what a syringe is...fascinating stuff. Task: Make Tic Tock Simpson Un-Get a Bionic Arm (6h, Springfield General Hospital, Hibbert Family Practice or Brown House) Well, some things just don't work out. But I think we've learned a good lesson here. I don't think I've learned anything. Always keep yourself at arm's length from a bionic arm. Physically and figuratively. Right on. Indubitably. In the pocket. Boogie Woogie. You really need to have the last word don't ya? Ab-so-lute-ly! Quest reward: 200 and 20

The Couch Caper

The Couch Caper Pt. 1

After completing Song and Dance Pt. 3 or the event ends. After tapping on Skinny Palmer's exclamation mark: Honey, I'm home! What in the heck are you doing? Just squeezing these free ketchup packets into our old bottle of ketchup. Why don't you just buy more? With the money you make playing jazz? I can only afford the essential condiments: salsa and Dijon. *sigh* It won't always be like this. I promise. I'm gonna land that record deal and things will be looking up for— Wait, where's Eleanor? Who? Eleanor, my trumpet! I left her right here by the couch before I went out, and now she's gone. Am I your trumpet's keeper? Well, jazzos and jazzettes, it looks like we've got ourselves a good old-fashioned mystery. You haven't even started looking yet. I will get to the bottom of this. Task: Make Skinny Palmer Follow the Clues (2h, Bachelor Arms, Krabappel Apartment, Spinster City Apartments, Apu's Apartment, Village Apartments or Brown House) If the user has Lunchlady Dora: Task: Make Lunchlady Dora Squeeze Ketchup Packets (2h, Bachelor Arms, Krabappel Apartment, Spinster City Apartments, Apu's Apartment, Village Apartments or Brown House) *groans* What are you doing now? If I shine this blacklight, it'll show you where bodily fluids are. I learned it from every CSI that's ever aired. You really think a robber took the trumpet and then left a trail of fluid everywhere? I'm only following the evidence. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Couch Caper Pt. 2

After tapping on Skinny Palmer's exclamation mark: Hmm, it looks like the trail of clues heads out the door and then goes cold. To crack this case, I must combine all the skills of Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, Bosch, and Veronica Mars. I used to love that show! Anyway. If you're going out will you at least swing by Krusty Burger and get me some more ketchup packets? The game is afoot! And justice waits for no condiments. Task: Make Skinny Palmer Stock Up on Detective Supplies (4h, Try-N-Save, Sprawl Mart, CostMo, Herman's Military Antiques, Springfield Grocery Store or Brown House) One box of gloves. *beep* One set of night-vision goggles. *beep* And they better be the kind that make everything look green. One hidden camera. *beep* It's not hidden yet. Thank you for shopping at Try-N-Save. Now it's time to catch the thief who stole my instrument! Before you do that, could you fill out a short customer experience survey? Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Couch Caper Pt. 3

After tapping on Skinny Palmer's exclamation mark: Shoot, I forgot my magnifying glass and I need it to find my trumpet. I hear you've got quite a case on your hands...Skinny. Who are you? My name is Manacek. You look like you time-traveled here from the 1979 set of "Big Shamus, Little Shamus". See, the curious thing about your stolen trumpet is...stealing it was an inside job. So you think I stole it? No, but I'm going to get to the bottom of this...even if it means leaving no pet rock unturned. We have to stock up for the stakeout. I'm thinking a bottle of Cognac and a thick stack of "Paris Match" magazines. A stakeout? Who do we need to stake out? There's a little lunchlady who isn't little and isn't telling the truth either. Task: Make Skinny Palmer Have a Stakeout (4h, Chalmers' 1979 _ONDA, Canyonero, Sterline Commander, Secret Agent Car, Homer's Car, Unlicensed Taxi, Willie's Tractor, WWII Tank, La Bicyclette or Brown House) If the user has Manacek: Task: Make Manacek Have a Stakeout (4h, Chalmers' 1979 _ONDA, Canyonero, Starline Commander, Secret Agent Car, Homer's Car, Unlicensed Taxi, Willie's Tractor, WWII Tank, La Bicyclette or Brown House) So why exactly are we staking out my girlfriend? Don't you think the robber is long gone by now? They always come back to the scene of the crime. And in this case, the robber lives at the scene of the crime. These night-vision goggles make my head hurt. You flip the 8-track and I'll test out this so-called "night-vision". Do you see Lunchlady Dora in there? Yeah, she's cooking up some tater-tots...in her birthday suit. You're not creeping on her, are you? Sorry, falling in love with a mysterious woman is the first step to solving a crime. Luckily for you, your lunchlady repulses me. You haven't helped at all in finding my trumpet. Haven't I? No. Well, for what it's worth — and it is worth quite a bit — your trumpet isn't at your house. It's at Lunchlady Dora's second boyfriend's house. She stole my trumpet and she's two-timing me? You really have a knack for this, Skinny. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Couch Caper Pt. 4

After tapping on Skinny Palmer's exclamation mark: *grumbling* That 1970s detective thinks he knows so much about my personal life just because his entire job is finding stuff out. I need to clear my head, get a good night's rest, and pick up the clues in the morning after some waffles and— Wait, what's this? A trail of footprints leading away from my front door? Task: Make Skinny Palmer Follow the Footprints (4h) It looks like these footprints lead right to the Municipal House of Pancakes. Can I get a short stack of pancakes? And did you want those pancakes American, Swedish, or Scooty Hooty Sweet and Fruity? Dora? Since when were you working night shifts at MHOP? I need — I mean, we need the money. But I provide for you, right baby? Not really, no. I make more as a lunchlady, and that's really saying something. Actually, scratch that. Lemme have the Ham Slam with cheese and a side of Don't Go Bacon My Heart. Otto, can you give us a minute here? Also, you should really try the French toast. It's delicious. Right on, amigo! Are you not telling me something? I'm not not telling you something. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Couch Caper Pt. 5

After tapping on Skinny Palmer's exclamation mark: You're right, Dora. Losing my trumpet is probably a sign that I need to get my life together and try to provide for you more. So I guess my days of jazz are over. I'm sorry, Skinny. First thing Monday morning I'm going to get me a job that'll make me the man you first decided to casually date. Oh, thank you. But first things first, let's scrounge up what money we do have so we can find a new place and get out of this dump. Task: Make Skinny Palmer Search the Couch Cushions for Coins (2h, Bachelor Arms, Krabappel Apartment, Spinster City Apartments, Apu's Apartment, Village Apartments or Brown House) If the user has Lunchlady Dora: Task: Make Lunchlady Dora Search the Couch Cushions for Coins (2h, Bachelor Arms, Krabappel Apartment, Spinster City Apartments, Apu's Apartment, Village Apartments or Brown House) *searching the couch cushions* There's got to be money in here somewhere! Hold on, what's this? *gasps* My trumpet! *gasps* Don't pretend to be surprised, Dora. No, Manacek. You haven't solved anything. My trumpet was right here in the couch cushions the whole time! But was it? *flashback* It was a simple matter of Lunchlady Dora pretending to look for your trumpet when in reality she was hiding it right under your caboose. But then why would she leave it in the couch? Because that's not your trumpet. It's a perfect replica — examine the polish. It tastes unlacquered! It's a silver varnish instead of brass. Once you left to pick up your dry cleaning, Lunchlady Dora went straight to King Toot's to sell your trumpet to the highest bidder. And after selling that trumpet's weight in brass, Lunchlady Dora thought she was in the clear. But then...you ran into me. So, panicking, she made a perfect replica of the trumpet, then stuffed that replica back into the couch. Nothing you say makes any sense! Oh, and one more thing. She's having an affair with King Toot. Okay, it's all true! I admit it! I needed the money! And I needed King Toot! He's the one I love! I'm sorry, Manacek. I should have never doubted you. Solving a crime has many fathers, but no sons. *chuckles* I like you, Manacek. Quest reward: 200 and 20
