Fall From Grace

Fall From Grace Pt. 1

After tapping on Annika's exclamation mark: *sigh* Back in Springfield again. I don't know if I'll ever get used to that smell. Still, it is small and cute like Liechtenstein. Hi, I'm Sherri, and this is Terri. And this is our friend Janey. Hi. Do you think we could hang out with you? ... You know, if you glare at us for long enough, it might actually count as hanging out with us. Task: Make Annika Condescendingly Stare at the Girls (8h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) I suppose you can hang out with me, as long as you are okay with doing my homework. If that's what it takes. Also my laundry. We'd be honored! Of course you would. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Fall From Grace Pt. 2

After tapping on Annika's exclamation mark: So, what do you girls do here for fun? There's hopscotch, jump rope, and cat's cradle, to name a few. Uh huh. Name a few more. Uh...I guess that was all. Super cool. So super cool, I'm super bored. *takes out a fidget spinner* Is that a fidget spinner? Those were so last year. They were just released in Europe. But those things have come and gone in whatever state we're in. C'mon girls, we're out of here. Rejected by schoolyard girls? *hangs head* I will change into the striped leggings of shame. Task: Make Annika Change Into the Striped Leggings of Shame (12h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Fall From Grace Pt. 3

After tapping on Annika's exclamation mark: I've been here five minutes and I'm already an outcast. This will not do. You there, fat little American boy, how did you become the outcast you are today? Who, me? What's an out cat? Ugh, useless. What about you there? Annika, it's me Milhouse, your cousin, remember? Yes, I am aware. Please don't remind me. So, answer the question. How did you become an outcast? I don't know what you're talking about. My mom says I'm very cool. Perhaps your mom will reconsider when she sees this. *pulls down Milhouse's pants* Haw-haw! Knowing my mom, she probably will. Task: Make Annika Mutter in Dutch (8h) Nice hearts on your underwear, Milhouse. Did you pick those out yourself? No, my mom did. She says even if I added up all these little hearts, it still wouldn't come close to the size of my real one! *sigh* Sometimes I don't know how you and I are related. You know, we're not THAT closely related, if you follow my drift... *winks* Thank you for interrupting my existential malaise with aggrieved rage. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Fall From Grace Pt. 4

After tapping on Annika's exclamation mark: Look! Annika is making fun of Milhouse. Wait, we're confused. Don't only cool kids make fun of Milhouse? Yeah, you're right. Hmmm, I guess we need to rethink how cool Annika is. On the one hand, she's into fidget spinners, which is not cool. On the other hand, she makes fun of Milhouse, which is. I guess that makes her more cool than uncool. I'll go tell her. As soon as Milhouse pulls up his pants and goes away. Hey, Annika. We saw you making fun of Milhouse, so we've decided you're cool again. Uh...what are you doing? I'm just playing spijkerpoepen. Wanna play? Task: Make Annika Play Spijkerpoepen (4h) First Annika was cool, then uncool, then cool again. But now she's playing some weird Dutch game, so is she uncool again? My heads are spinning. Don't you mean "our" heads are spinning? Stay out of this! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Fall From Grace Pt. 5

After tapping on Annika's exclamation mark: Here comes Milhouse. Keep walking, loser, can't you see we're playing spaykerpowpow? It's pronounced spijkerpoepen. And you're only playing it because it makes you cool to be seen with Annika. Did you know it means "nail pooping"? Ewww, you're gross. Yeah. Why don't you just leave us alone. Forever! But he's right. When has that ever mattered? Task: Make Annika Feel Bad for Milhouse (4h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) Task: Make Milhouse Cry (4h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) Thank you for coming to my defense. That was cool of you. What!? You think Milhouse is cool? Gross. Double gross. I knew giving you a second chance was a mistake! Let's go, girls. Don't mind them, Annika. I don't care what they think. Ya know, in some American states, it's totally normal to date your cousin. Isn't that interesting? ... Girls, wait for me! Quest reward: 200 and 20

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark: Hey ladies, what's wrong? We were inspired by your coolness to hold an impromptu sock hop. But we can't get this old-fashioned jukebox to work! Ha!

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark: ...and then Milhouse fixed my Joan of Arc nightlight! With the new fro-care regiment Milhouse recommended, my hair looks great and I feel like my soul's aglow! Berry juice is the key. All the comics Milhouse told me to order in bulk have become best sellers! A fine young man like this has a bright future ahead of him. Or he can become a Quimby campaign consultant. Ugh.

Of course! The giants are easy to beat once you know their weak points. Uh, hold on there, my young constituent. We, ah, just passed a new city ordinance that prevents private citizens from helping each other without my approval. So...can I have approval to help Kumiko with her video game? Do you have, er, a city-issued video game fixer-upper license? No? Then no. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Happy Daze Pt. 4

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark: This is bogus! No one is inviting me anywhere now that the mayor has his goons keeping me away from everyone. Aw, is poor Too-Cool-For-School Milhouse lonely without his fawning masses? I'm not too cool for school — it's the only place I can get any fawning at all now! So, you came crawling back to your ol' pal, Bart. This is a golden opportunity for a classic Bart Simpson Stick-It-to-the-Man prank! This will be better than watching the Iron Yuppie take a turnbuckle to the groin on Superior Mega Ultra Slam 2.5: Upgrade of Pain. Oh no you don't! I see you trying to sneak in and steal my cool thunder. I'll figure this out myself. What are you going to do? Get Nelson to set the mayor's car on fire? Um, no. Aw man!

WHAT?! Ah, heh heh! What I, er, uh, meant was that HOA people love a good wiener roast. Who doesn't? Now, ah, where was I? Let's see... In addition to being giant wieners, you're absolute suckers for letting me channel your money into my personal slush fund. Mister Mayor! I, uh, appear to be having a slight teleprompter malfunction. Maybe we could postpone— No! We ordered cupcakes with little mayor sashes on them for this. If we don't get the mayoral speech we were promised, you can kiss our endorsement goodbye! Need some help, Mr. Mayor? You?! I, uh, suppose I could allow you to help out just this once... Not good enough, sir. Alright! I hereby revoke the previously hastily declared ordinance forbidding your help! Now get me out of this, kid.

Cops usually get called for smaller things like bikes or diamond rings or cell phones. Which reminds me. Lou, have you seen my cellphone? You're talking on it, Chief! It was taken right from my driveway in broad daylight! Yeah, that doesn't sound like a job for ordinary cops. Maybe you should call Manacek. Task: Make Grandma Van Houten Quietly Chuckle (12h, Van Houten House or Brown House) Cheer up, honey. I'm sure it'll turn up soon. I mean, how long can something like that stay hidden? How can you expect me to cheer up when the only thing I love in this world is missing?! The only thing you love in this world, huh?

Quest reward: 200 and 20

Not that I know of. I wanna buy a Swiss Army Knife. The Ultra XX Hunter Signature Premium model. It's not the crappy one that Sprawl-Mart makes. No son of mine will be seen brandishing a knife!

Task: Make Italian Milhouse Talk With His Hands (4h) If the user has Luigi: Task: Make Luigi Examine Milhouse (4h, Luigi's or Brown House) Well, you too small to handle da bags of flour, and you too big to fit in da attic to handle da rats. *puts hands up* I understand. I guess I just don't have what it takes to make it in the restaurant business. Hey, let me-a look at those tiny-a little hands. Magnifico! These would be-a perfect for rolling my gnocchi!

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark: Here you are, Mr. Fat Tony. Our finest dish just-a for you. It's on da house. Luigi, these gnocchi are rolled perfectly. I must give my compliments to the chef, personally. Of-a course. Right-a this way. This is Milhouse, he's-a handling all of da gnocchi. I was here to pay my respects, but now that I see who's been rolling my gnocchi...get him, boys! Oh, boy, not-a dis again.

So now, it's time to make the sign of the cross for a different reason. Wait, didn't Michael poison Dante Jr.? Yeah, but he's talking about his nephew. Besides, I saw him at Tony and Selma's wedding. Guys, is this really the time to discuss show canon? I'm about to settle a blood feud. *cocks gun* Ah, I just can't do it. It would be a shame to waste such a magnificent chef. Tell ya what, why don't you come work for me instead of me killing you. Well...if you insist. Quest reward: 100 and 10

A Family Man Pt. 4

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark: This is my son, Michael. You two will work out of my D'Amico Summer Home for now. Pleasure to meet you. My father tells me you're quite the chef. Maybe if you can teach me your secrets, he'll one day respect me as a man. If not, I can just poison him. You know what I mean? I guess. Look, I just want to roll gnocchi so I can pay for a Swiss Army Knife. The new Ultra XX Hunter Signature Premium model? You've heard of it? Ah, yes. We Italians generally avoid the Swiss. All that neutrality makes us crazy... But we make an exception for their cheese, chocolate, cuckoo clocks, lax banking laws, and, of course, their army knives. That's a lot of exceptions.

I understand that you are looking for a particular implement of the stabbing variety. Is this to your liking? An Ultra XX Hunter Signature Premium model Swiss Army Knife? Oh, this is perfect, thank you so much! Don't mention it. If you're going to be working for me, naturally, I want you to feel protected. I know exactly what you mean. The GPS tracker on this thing will immediately alert my mom whenever I get lost at the mall. Quest reward: 100 and 10

A Family Man Pt. 5

After tapping on Milhouse's exclamation mark: Tony, can I ask you a question? It fell off a truck, okay? Do you always pay people in Swiss Army Knives? Usually, yes. They're very practical. Lots of useful tools in there. I've got a hundred and seventy-two of them! I can't pay my rent, but I gotta hand it to those Swiss. What with the cheese and the chocolate and the cuckoo clocks— Right... By the way, what did you want all the gnocchi for? Nobody could eat that many. What? You think bodies just weigh themselves down? Task: Make Milhouse Enjoy Ultra XX Hunter Signature Premium (4h, Van Houten House or Brown House) Quest reward: 200 and 20
