Wel-Scare State[edit]

Wel-Scare State Intro[edit]

After the user logs in on January 3rd:
Homer 3...2...1...Happy New--
Homer Wait, we're still here?!
Quimby Wasn't there, ah, supposed to be a New Year's "afterparty in the sky"?
L.T. Smash More like an after-LIFE! The apocalypse was supposed to happen, and only godless Liberals were supposed to be left on this planet!
Lisa No, the world was supposed to end because of greedy Conservatives!
Homer Sounds like no one's happy. Especially me, who doesn't know what a Liberal or Conservative is.

Number 1 Anyway, we promised our followers an end of the world. I'm calling an emergency meeting!
Quest reward: Cash100 and XP10

Wel-Scare State Pt. 1[edit]

After completing Wel-Scare State Intro:
Homer The Stonecutters are holding an event at the convention center called "Conserva-clypse Con". Why does everything have to have a crazy name?
Bart That other sign they hung up is pretty straightforward: "No Homers".
Lisa Wait, so the Stonecutters are part of the Conservative right?!
Number 1 Duh, Lisa. How many Liberal meetings involve robes and spanking one's subordinates? Besides Hollywood casting sessions, that is.
Number 1 *chuckles* That joke works even REGARDLESS of recent events. But enough zinging — we've got an apocalypse to prep for!

Quimby Now, ah, hold on a minute there. I'm fine with destroying the world for profit, but not just to wipe out an opposing party!
Number 1 Showing a tiny amount of empathy for someone else?! I've had enough of your disgusting Liberal views! We're repealing your Stonecutter membership.
Quimby But this club is all I have in my life!
Mrs. Quimby ...
Quimby Er, ah, I stand by what I said.
Lisa You know, Mayor Quimby, we Liberals will celebrate literally anyone if they act even the slightest bit sane. Why don't you help with a Liberal Self-Help Convention?

Quimby Yes, let's talk it out...

Birch Barlow Hello again, Springfield! I heard there was an eagle-cry for freedom that cannot be ignored. And here I am, ready to star-spangle every man, woman, and child with my radio show.
Lisa Birchibald T. Barlow! And I thought all this hot air was just from climate change. You're here to purge us, aren't you?
Birch Barlow That's exactly what I'm here for. All you Liberals have run our fair city into the ground and failed to be wiped away by the Rapture. We will fix that.
Wolfcastle Yes. We will finally rid ourselves of the puny little nerds.

Lisa Is it just me, or is everyone at each other's throats lately...
Bart Stop being such a negative, existential NERD, you Liberal.
Homer Yeah! You Liberals just want to eradicate all our freedoms! I like freedoms!
Lisa You guys are Conservative now? And since when do you know words like "existential" and "eradicate"?
Bart Eh, we just like to yell.
Birch Barlow That's right. Yell at those yellow-belly Liberals!

Wel-Scare State Pt. 5[edit]

After completing Wel-Scare State Pt. 4:
Lisa Something odd is going on here... everyone is riled up for the apocalypse, yet they seem excited.
Lisa It's almost like people are rooting for it to prove themselves right. They're cutting off their nose to spite their face.

Wel-Scare State Pt. 6[edit]

After completing Wel-Scare State Pt. 5:
Brockman And that is it, folks. It has been over eight hours and the Doomsday Countdown Clock reached its end. It looks like the apocalypse isn't happening for either side of the aisle.
Julio I'm disappointed the Conservatives didn't cause an apocalypse. It's almost as if nothing they do is that big a deal. So depressing...
Number 1 I am disappointed that we could not deliver the end times as promised.
Quimby This is what you get for wanting the apocalypse to happen intentionally, when you should do it out of neglect!
Number 1 But it is the Republican way!
Birch Barlow It's also the Republican way to make money off human misery. Profits speak louder than raptures!
Lisa I knew it! You two were working together to stir up controversy and keep people distracted from the real issues!
Quimby This is the only cross-party thing we can agree on. Cheers for maintaining status quo!
Task: Build Springfield Hall of Records
Task: Make Quimby Document Failed Doomsdays (3h, Springfield Hall of Records or Town Hall)
Birch Barlow Have you disposed of all the relevant evidence?

Bart That's more like it. I knew you had it in you.
Lisa Nelson, I don't know why you're hanging out around me. We broke up, so you shouldn't be back in my life! Why tease me now?

Declan Desmond Birchy, baby! There's my little Republican-do. Your ratings are through the roof, and you have the most callers of any show I've ever produced.
Declan Desmond I want you to keep on spouting your Conserva-nonsense until you're red in the face. Well, REDDER in the face. How about signing a long-term contract?

Lloyd I should stop talking to myself before people start thinking the guy-who's-rooting-for-society-to-collapse is crazy!
Lloyd I'll just write my thoughts in my journal. Now, which Beanie Baby notebook should I use...
Task: Make Lloyd Journal Apocalyptic Thoughts (4h, Preppers' Compound)

15 Minutes of Shame Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Lloyd's exclamation mark:
Lloyd 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.
Carl Have you ever thought about getting a publisher and making this into a book?
Lloyd Of course I have! Half the reason I got into prepping was to make my way into the literati!
Lenny Oh, so you don't need our advice?
Lloyd Only thing I need is to decide which publishing house I'm gonna go with: Simon & Shooter, Random Bunker, Doubledoomsday, HarperShut-ins...

Lloyd I went with Oxford University Press. Those cutthroat psychos will get this book on more shelves than a prepper's jars during pickling season.
Lenny So, what's next? You work with an editor to get your book in perfect shape?
Lloyd Nah, they got people to do that for me. I have to work on something far more important: my photo for the book cover!

Homer What's the matter, Lloyd? Weren't PREPARED for the downside of fame?
Lloyd "Downside"?! Fame's great! Money, adulation, all the canned beans I could eat!
Lloyd But I made the classic prepper mistake: I confused my own thoughts with the plotline of Kevin Costner's post-apocalyptic masterpiece "The Postman".
Lloyd 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.
Lloyd 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...

Professor Frink ...where the congress-people go on and on and won't stop it with the talking...

Tapped Out Brendan Beiderbecke Icon.png Yeah, but that "guy" is one of Hollywood's leading superhunks.
Nelson Haw-haw! But you don't have his voice!
Tapped Out Brendan Beiderbecke Icon.png Yeah, I have the voice of one of the biggest pop stars around.
Nelson You're right — you're a double threat!
Tapped Out Brendan Beiderbecke Icon.png Now I think you know what you're up against.

Scat Brat Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Brendan Beiderbecke's exclamation mark:
Tapped Out Brendan Beiderbecke Icon.png It comes to me in my dreams. I see a life where I go to a school for cute-but-sensitive prodigies. Where I meet my family and friends at the park.
Tapped Out Brendan Beiderbecke Icon.png My first piano lesson begins, and the sounds of jazz intoxicate my eardrums. I'm hooked, and my talent takes me to irritating competitions and gets me ridiculous scholarships.
Tapped Out Brendan Beiderbecke Icon.png And there is Lisa, by my side. Playing traditional jazz alongside me. She supports me all the way, and doesn't bother me with any pesky dreams of her own.

Scat Brat Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Brendan Beiderbecke's exclamation mark:
Tapped Out Brendan Beiderbecke Icon.png Oh, the life I could have had, if only I weren't just a little too good for you!
Lisa You're talented, Brendan, but you'll never love anyone more than yourself.
Nelson Haw-haw! Lisa just identified your character flaw!
Nelson Get with the times, jazzwad. Lisa needs someone who puts her first. She's my top priority... after bullying nerds and teasing lamewads.
Lisa Actually, I need to put MYSELF first. And wait for someone who's better than both of you.
Nelson Haw—huh?
Lisa You're sweet beneath the haw-haw, Nelson. But I need someone who'll treasure my heart, not bully it.
