The Only Thing Happening

After the user logs in on February 3rd: Moe, I got two tickets to the Superior Mega Ultra Slam! It's the most superlative-laden Slam ever! Two tickets, eh? This may be a good time to remind you that you haven't paid your superior mega ultra bar tab in over a year? Quality hint, Moe, but I already invited someone else. I understand. This weekend is for couples. Lenny and I do make a great couple. Now if I could only make Carl understand. Lenny?! Don't you know what this weekend is? Of course, I do. It's the weekend of the Superior Mega Ultra Slam. Homer, the Bartender's Pledge requires me to tell customers the truth. And to wipe the bar regularly with Pledge. So, the truth is that this weekend... ...you and Lenny are going to have a great time at the Slam. *wipes the bar* Task: Make Homer Show Off His Tickets (6s, Moe's Tavern, Moe's Express, O'Flanagan's Pub, The Gridiron or Brown House) If the user has Moe: Task: Make Moe Chuckle Under His Breath (6s, Moe's Tavern, Moe's Express, O'Flanagan's Pub, The Gridiron or Brown House) Here's a very sexy breakfast for a very sexy husband. Look, I formed the bacon into the shape of a heart. And I know what these sunny-side-up eggs are supposed to be. *purrs* They're just eggs. Exactly. *devours* So, about this weekend. I was thinking we could go on a couples' retreat. Luann and Kirk went last year and said it did wonders for their relationship. What do they know? They've been divorced and remarried so many times I've lost count. You mean once? Woah, slow down Einstein. Besides, we can't go to a retreat this weekend. I already made plans. You remembered? Oh, Homie, that's a gift in and of itself. I really thought you were going to forget. I would never forget something this important. Lenny would kill me. Lenny?! Don't you know what this weekend is? Uh oh. Marge, did you take the Bartender's Pledge, too? Quest reward: 100 and 10

Stranger Than Eviction

Stranger Than Eviction Pt. 1

After completing The Only Thing Happening: I'll ask again: Do you know what this weekend is? Uh oh, you look angry. It must be our anniversary? *shakes head and grumbles* No, that's not anniversary-level anger. Your birthday? *shakes head and grumbles louder* Wow, a double grumble. What I meant to say is, it's...Valentine's Day? Oh Homie, you really had me going there. I knew you remembered! As if I would ever forget our anniv— *short grumble* Our Annivalentine's Day. Task: Collect Chocolates [x115] Task: Make Homer Scramble for Backup Valentine's Plans (4h, Simpson House or Brown House) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Stranger Than Eviction Pt. 2

After completing Stranger Than Eviction Pt. 1: Have you thought any more about that couples' retreat? I think it would be a lot of fun. It WOULD be a lot of fun. But you know what else would be even more fun? Doing something that's not that at all. What did you have in mind? What would you say if I took you to the Superior Mega Ultra Slam? A wrestling match? I'd say, "Try again". Okay then. What if I take LENNY to the Superior Mega Ultra Slam? Homer, if you want to spend Valentine's Day at a wrestling match with some guy you work with— Be fair, he's also some guy I drink with. —then don't let me stop you. Oh, Marge you're the best. I wish Barney had taken the news as well as you. Task: Collect Chocolates [x155] Task: Make Homer Go to the Wrestling Match (4h, Springfield Wrestling Pavilion, Golden Ring Wrestling Headquarters, Backyard Wrestling Ring or Brown House) Task: Make Marge Seethe (4h, Simpson House or Brown House) This was the greatest wrestling match ever. How did you ever get away with spending Valentine's Day with me? Eh, Barney didn't care after all. But what about Marge? She was fine. She practically begged me to go to the match without her. Wow, Marge sure is the best. How'd you get so lucky? Well, if you ask me, the key to a strong marriage is to fill your spouse's world with constant surprises... Now, let's go surprise her by getting her to make us a postgame snack! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Stranger Than Eviction Pt. 3

After completing Stranger Than Eviction Pt. 2: Homer, I'm glad you're finally home. There's something I need to tell you. Great. But first, would you mind whipping up some midnight nachos? No, it's too important to wait. Fine. And then the nachos? Homer, I need you out of the house for a while. While you make the nachos? Homer, I need you to move out until I've had some time to clear my head. You're kicking me out? All because I asked for nachos?! It's not about the nachos! Phew. I just need some time alone to think about our relationship. You're thinking?! That's never a good thing for me. Look, I packed an overnight bag for you. I'll call you when I'm ready to talk. Okay, honey. Whatever you need. But before I go, can I ask one more thing? What? Would you mind whipping up some midnight nachos? Out! *hangs head and leaves* Should I go too? Task: Collect Chocolates [x115] Task: Make Homer Get Kicked Out (4h, Simpson House or Brown House) *sigh* Worst. Valentine's Day. Ever. *clears throat* You'll be hearing from my lawyer. How can Homer be so selfish! He's always sitting on the couch, watching TV while I do everything for this family. The only time I sit on the couch and watch TV are those few seconds every week when something weird happens. That ends now. *turns on TV* Tonight, on Eye on Springfield, I'm joined by romance novelist, Esme Delacroix. Her new romance novel, "The Lord of the Scoundrels", just broke the record for pre-orders. For a romance novel. A romance novel? I wonder if I could write one. Or maybe just READ one. Actually, you wrote and published The Harpooned Heart. It was a cause celebre in Springfield gossip circles but critically panned. That's right! And I even started on a sequel. Well, now's my chance to finish it. Right after I throw you out. I am duly removed. Should I go too? Quest reward: 100 and 10

Stranger Than Eviction Pt. 4

After completing Stranger Than Eviction Pt. 3: Okay, let's get this sequel started. How did the first one end? Oh, that's right. Temperance Barrows watched her oafish husband, Captain Mordecai, and her secret lover, Cyrus Manley, lash themselves to a whale and drown at sea. I suppose I'll have to come up with a whole new set of original characters and unique situations. Or... *starts typing* Oh, sweet Cyrus, thank you for waking me up from a terrible nightmare... Now that we've run away together, I no longer have a husband who just sits on the porch all day and watches the sea. That will never happen with me, my sweet. I get seasick just doing the laundry. Now, how can I help you with your daily chores? Well, I was about to do the laundry. Oh, then let me make us dinner! Who says "write what you know"? Task: Collect Chocolates [x155] Task: Make Marge Live Vicariously Through Her Writing (4h, Simpson House or Brown House) Thank you for the lovely meal, Cyrus. It was the least I could do for you after a long day of watching me clean the rain gutters. Now, are you ready for *raises eyebrows* "dessert"? Well, it is our anniversary... It's our anniversary? You forgot?! My heavens, you too? I'm not sure what you mean...? Forget it! I'm going for a walk. Be careful, my darling, I haven't swept the path today! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Stranger Than Eviction Pt. 5

After completing Stranger Than Eviction Pt. 4: How can I express what Temperance is feeling when she's alone on her walk? I know! I'll have her say just what she's thinking and doing out loud. That's a standard technique in great writing. I can't believe that Cyrus forgot our anniversary. I feel like the whole world is going crazy. Oh, and will you look at that, my heel has just broken! Maybe our neighbor can offer some assistance to a woman in need. *knocks on door* *hears knocking* Ugh, Homer I told you that I would call when I'm ready to talk. You're interrupting my creative flow. *opens door* Oh, can I help you? Hello. My name is Temperance Barrows. I was walking along your unswept path and my shoe broke. I'm sorry, did you say your name was Temperance Barrows? Indeed. Of the Nantucket Barrows. Could I trouble you for a mallet and a few nails? Oh...my...God... Then maybe just some twine? Task: Collect Chocolates [x195] Task: Make Marge Confront Her Creation (4h, Simpson House or Brown House) Quest reward: 200 and 20
