The Pain in Spain

The Pain in Spain Pt. 1

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: Welcome to Hell Laboratories, Beelzebart! We've had our eye on you for a while now. I've received your transcripts and they're very impressive! You've a real knack for torture and mayhem. You should be proud. I can't take credit for a gift I was born with. As part of our internship program, we'd like you to review some of our recent work. We've been having trouble with our Autoflayer 5000. It could use a fresh pair of eyes. But ignore the eyes in those jars. They're not fresh. Task: Make Beelzebart Review Torture Schematics (8h, Hell Labs, Hellementary School, Hellport Pentagram or Brown House) As you can see, in spite of a 7.6% improvement in torture efficiency, the souls of the damned don't appear to be appreciably more miserable. We've only observed a slight increase in screams, cursing and damning us to Hell. Which makes no sense, because we're already here. Guys, if you're gonna make people miserable, you can't worry about numbers like a bunch of nerds! C'mon. Let's take a field trip. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Pain in Spain Pt. 2

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: Okay, why are we at Springfield Elementary? To observe the innocent victim in his most natural habitat: the schoolyard. The troublemaker, Nelson, watches Martin, his victim. Nelson desires to attack, but he doesn't. He waits. For what? It's complete! My epic Radioactive Man in Earthland Realms fanfic. This is the happiest moment of my life! WATER CANNON ATTACK! Task: Make Beelzebart Teach a Lesson in Misery (3h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) If the user has Nelson: Task: Make Nelson Ruin Martin's Day (2h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) If the user has Martin: Task: Make Martin Wallow in the Misery of Joy Ruined (3h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) See? Nelson could pick on his victim all day long, but Martin would just get used to it. So the trick is to give a little ray of sunlight. That makes the punishment much more painful. Juxtaposing pleasure with pain. I like it! But we'll never get permission to bring joy down below. The paperwork alone would kill us...again. Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Pain in Spain Pt. 3

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: We have other tools at our disposal. Here's one of my favorites. *singing* This little light of mine / I'm gonna let it shine...! Is it true? "Left-handed people are God's mistake". Someone painted it on the sidewalk! Yay, Daddy's a mistake! WHAT?! Task: Make Beelzebart Gloat at Flanders' Torment (1h, Flanders House, Simpson House or Brown House) Task: Make Ned Freak Out (1h, Flanders House or Brown House) It's okay, boys. This isn't anything a little bleach, elbow grease and some self-scourging can't fix... This prank is amusing, but hardly up to the level of— Hey Flanders, I see you're on the outs with God. WHAT?! NO! Then tell that cornfield maze because it's in the shape of you with devil horns and a pitchfork. AAAAAAAAH! Very good. What is annoying in spray paint can be utterly horrifying on a grand scale. Devil Daddy, can we play in your corn maze? It looks like fun! AAAAAAAAH! Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Pain in Spain Pt. 4

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: Poor Ned seems more agitated than usual. I wonder what's wrong. I don't know but I hope it's something I did. Bart, why are you giggling? *trying to stop giggling* I...may have been trying to impress the guys at Hell Labs and played a few humorous-but-in-no-way-mean-spirited pranks on Flanders. Bart! Hey, all in the name of science! I like that the boy's focusing on science! Teaching demons how to be more awful is not science! Okay, maybe it's a little science. Task: Make Beelzebart Promise Not to Help Demons (2h, Simpson House) If the user has Marge: Task: Make Marge Make Beelzebart REALLY Promise (2h, Simpson House) Okay, okay, Mom! Geez! I promise I won't help the demons anymore. Say it without crossing your fingers behind your back. Bah, dang-it. Fine. *holds up hands* I promise. And your toes! Double dang-it! I'm just impressed that we've got a kid who can cross his toes! Quest reward: 100 and 10

The Pain in Spain Pt. 5

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: Uh, guys, my mom says I can't help you with the torture science anymore. Moms can really scorch my backside! She said torture science. But what about helping us with demon possession physics? Uh...I think her threats were non-specific. Just like a mom. Basically, I can't talk to you guys anymore. That's too bad. I guess we'll have to work on our new Wedgie-Matic 666000 without you. Uh...I might be able to help out one last time... Atta bad boy! Task: Make Beelzebart Help Out One Last Time (4h, Hell Labs, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) Bart, I hear you're doing well in Hellementary School. It's good to see you taking a genuine interest in academics. I have a fair bit of expertise in "doing well". If you ever need any help, I would be happy to assist! As a matter of fact, I have a new project you could help me with... *gets out Wedgie-Matic 666000* *devilish chuckle* Quest reward: 200 and 20

Putting the Pun in Punishment

Putting the Pun in Punishment Pt. 1

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Lisafer! I know you're trying to win our bet by failing your classes here in Hell, but you'll fail nothing stuck in detention. And to further your torment you'll listen to the worst music in heaven or hell — jazz! Terrific! I love all forms of jazz! Damn it! Forget jazz. Here's an excruciating assignment for you — write five hundred thousand words on Proto-Feminist Transcendentalist Literature! That's great too! I can give you two hundred thousand words on Margaret Fuller alone! Curses! This may be more challenging than I thought. Task: Make Lisafer Take Everything Old Scratch Can Dish Out (2h, Hellementary School, Hellscape or Brown House) If the user has Old Scratch: Task: Make Old Scratch Get Exasperated With Lisafer (2h, Hellementary School, Hellscape or Brown House) You're a tough nut to crack. Thank you! I hate nuts! Even cashews? Boy, you are a gloomy Gus. Say, what's with that wardrobe over there? It was a soul swap from the writer of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was the only one of the three I didn't have to feed. Interesting... Quest reward: 100 and 10

Putting the Pun in Punishment Pt. 2

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Lisa! What are you doing here? Bart said you were stuck in Hell Detention! I was, but I escaped through a piece of magic furniture. Now I need to find a way to get out of my deal with Old Scratch! There's nothing a lawyer can't fix... Or ruin. If the user has Marge: Task: Make Marge Call the Blue-Haired Lawyer (1h, Simpson House) Task: Make Lisafer Consult With the Blue-Haired Lawyer (1h, Simpson House) If the user has Blue-Haired Lawyer: Task: Make the Blue-Haired Lawyer Prepare His Bill (1h, Simpson House) I'm afraid your daughter is in a jam. Old Scratch's contracts are notoriously convoluted and difficult to fight in court. My advice would be to appeal to a higher power. So there's nothing we can do legally? You can pay my legal bill. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Putting the Pun in Punishment Pt. 3

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Reverend Lovejoy, I need your help! Little Lisa Simpson in Hell... I'm only there because I found out Old Scratch is going to keep Bart in Hell, so I made a deal— Are you even listening? Sorry, I was thinking about my model trains. It's how I get through those long, boring sermons too. Chugga-chugga-choo-choo! Task: Make Lisafer Ask Reverend for Theological Advice (3h, First Church of Springfield, Lovejoy Residence or Brown House) If the user has Rev. Rev. Lovejoy: Task: Make Reverend Lovejoy Think About Model Trains (3h, First Church of Springfield, Lovejoy Residence or Brown House) Lisafer, I'm not much of a brim and firestone preacher. I only know ways to stay OUT of Hell — mostly riffing on that Ten Commandments thing... And you're already in Hell so I don't have a lot of advice on getting out. You should try bingeing the early seasons of "Prison Break" for ideas. Thanks for nothing. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Putting the Pun in Punishment Pt. 4

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Hey Lisa. I like the wings. They're fake. Why do women feel they have to fake everything? Especially around me? I was trying to hide from Old Scratch. I'm going to get called back to Hell. And then Bart and I will be trapped there forever. I need someone who can help me find a way to get out of my deal with Old Scratch. But so far everyone is clueless! Someone who's not from the establishment, someone who doesn't fit the mold. How 'bout someone who doesn't fit his pants? You have someone in mind? Let's go see Comic Book Guy! If the user has Milhouse: Task: Make Milhouse Take Lisafer to the Android's Dungeon (4h, Android's Dungeon or Brown House) Task: Make Lisafer Go to the Android's Dungeon (4h, Android's Dungeon or Brown House) If the user has Comic Book Guy: Task: Make Comic Book Guy Look Up Comic Book Demonology (4h, Android's Dungeon or Brown House) Please tell me there's hope for me and Bart. Well, in the comics, the heroes always get out of their deals through some convoluted, plot-convenient loophole... I don't have any loopholes up my sleeves. I don't even have sleeves. I've found there is one thing that all villains hate — plucky heroes who defiantly quip in the face of their menacing evil! Well that's better than noth— AAAAAAAH! Oh no! Lisa's been sucked back to Hell! Without buying anything! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Putting the Pun in Punishment Pt. 5

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Sneaking off like that... I'll be keeping an eye on you from now on, Lisafer. I escaped Hell Detention before, and I'll do it again! You won't escape without a plan. I'll just WING it! Because you have wings... Yeah, I get it. But for now, I'll just HOOF it back to my desk. Yes, you have hooves too. Your pluck and quips are so annoying! Then I've succeeded because down here it's good to be annoying. Ugh! Task: Make Lisafer Annoy Old Scratch With Pluck and Quips (5h, Hellementary School, Hellscape or Brown House) If the user has Old Scratch: Task: Make Old Scratch Get Exasperated by Pluck and Quips (5h, Hellementary School, Hellscape or Brown House) Enough! No more detention. Just go back to class. I can't listen to this anymore! You're making my hair fall out! I hope you don't lose all your hair, or there will be Hell toupée. Tee-hee-hee! That's your last quip! Get out! Quest reward: 200 and 20

Land of the Flies

Land of the Flies Pt. 1

After tapping on Hell Teacher's exclamation mark: Class, meet your new teacher, freshly transferred from Hellementary School. This is Miss...uh... Just call me Hellen. Um, yes, of course. Are you sure you can handle these hellions, Hellen? Hey! Nelson just gave me a wet willy! Wet willy him back. But won't I get in trouble? Wrath is a virtue. What better way to grow young minds than to encourage them to seek retribution on their enemies? I love my new teacher! Task: Make Hell Teacher Encourage Nerds to Revenge (1h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) Task: Make Nerds Contemplate Vengeance [x3] (1h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) This is every nerd's fantasy! Be warned. It could be an Ackbar scenario. But what if it's NOT a trap? If we knew we wouldn't get in trouble, what would we do? I have some ideas on three-by-five cards I've housed in a rented storage unit over the years. How many have you collected? Hundreds of thousands. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Land of the Flies Pt. 2

After tapping on Hell Teacher's exclamation mark: So what have my fine little minds come up with? As we say in Hell, one must strike while the iron is hot. And irons are always hot in Hell. Not like on the surface. Your irons cool way too quickly. We're still not convinced we won't get in trouble for this, so we're starting with a simple prank that can't easily be traced back to us. The classic "itching powder in the gym shorts". Gym class is next period. Man, something doesn't feel right here. Yeah, something's hapnin' with my junk. But it's dodgeball time and I can put itching aside if it means we get to Nail-A-Nerd! Task: Make Hell Teacher Enjoy the Spectacle (2h, Springfield Elementary or House) If the user has Bullies: Task: Make Bullies Scratch Themselves Embarrassingly [x3] (2h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) Task: Make Nerds Win Dodgeball [x3] (2h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) They scratch themselves like monkeys! Hahaha! What a bunch of losers! What is this strange feeling? This must be that thing called shame! Let's get out of here! We did it! Very good, children! But bullies are known to retaliate. Retaliation on retaliation? This is a vicious wedgie-producing cycle! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Land of the Flies Pt. 3

After tapping on Hell Teacher's exclamation mark: That tears it! Itching powder, Vaseline on our locker handles, and whatever it is you nerds did to make Kearney grow pink hair... It's time for you dweebs to — OWW! FYI, we ran out of prank ideas, so now we're just going to tase you. Run for it! Well-played, gentlemen! Now that you have all the power, it's time you embraced it! Ja! Oompa-power!

Correction, sir. You WERE in charge. Yeah! There's some new kids on the block and it's not New Kids On The Block. It's us! Your new agenda is all in this spreadsheet. I'm outraged and yet impressed. How can one not respect a quality spreadsheet! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Land of the Flies Pt. 4

After tapping on Hell Teacher's exclamation mark: The coffee in the teachers' lounge is all gone! There's nothing but juice boxes! My field hockey sticks have been replaced with gaming computers! Where are my brass instruments?! All that's here are cellos and violins! And my dodgeballs have been desecrated! The nerds are out of control! I think it's good to see the little tykes showing some initiative. Skinner? *crawling out of his office* That's SERGEANT Skinner to you! Now heads down in the jungle! Charlie is everywhere! *sigh* Flashback much, Seymour? Task: Make Hell Teacher Calm the Faculty Down (4h, Springfield Elementary or House) If the user has Skinner: Task: Make Skinner Try to Get His Platoon Back Together (4h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) Fear! Fear is the key. If the enemy doesn't fear you, they won't respect you, and then you have no authority! Grodin, Barnes, I need you! King and Bunny re-engage the enemy! We have to take the high ground, men! We have to push Charlie back! Is he talking to the nerds? Don't care. I'm not going anywhere near those little freaks while that teacher from Hell has their backs. You mean their Russian advisor? Take her "out"! Good thinking, King! Wait. Now I'm King? I sorta like that. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Land of the Flies Pt. 5

After tapping on Hell Teacher's exclamation mark: Boys, I have some good news to share with you! They agreed to rename the school after Isaac Asimov? No. I've been offered a job at Shelbyville Elementary for twice the pay. Nein! You cannot leave us here! You'll be fine! Nerds who take on bullies always end up fine. *gulp* Task: Make Hell Teacher Prepare to Leave Springfield (2h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) Task: Make Nerds Explain How They Won't Be Fine [x3] (2h, Springfield Elementary or House) If the user has Skinner: Task: Make Skinner Lead a Platoon Counteroffensive (2h, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) We can handle things without Hell Teacher.

I had a dream that wedgies were how I was going to die! Quest reward: 200 and 20

Two Heads Are More Than One

Two Heads Are More Than One Pt. 1

After tapping on Hell Principals' exclamation mark: Well, Lisafer, it seems that you haven't been completing your Hellementary schoolwork. My name is Lisa, and I'm trying to fail so I can get kicked out of here and go back to Springfield! That bad attitude won't cut it in Hellementary School. Indeed not! We're of one mind on this issue. So my bad attitude will be rewarded by throwing me out of Hellementary? Guh! Look at the mess you've created, Skinner! Me, sir? You agreed with the mess I created. What?! Don't you get all up in my face! I have no choice in the matter. Task: Make Hell Principals Argue With Themselves (4h) If the user has Lisafer: Task: Make Lisafer Goad Hell Principals Into Fighting (1h, Hellementary School, Hellscape or Brown House) Okay, that's sorted out and we're good? We're still bad. But that's good. So we need you to be bad in the way that we think is good. But then I'm really just being good, which is bad, and I should get bad grades for it. I'm confused. How 'bout you? Oh, yeah. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Two Heads Are More Than One Pt. 2

After tapping on Hell Principals' exclamation mark: We both need to be on the same page before Lisafer's thinking spreads to other students. Let's just take a step back and find some things we agree on. Right. I'll start: kittens are annoying. They're horrible! Fudgy brownies...sickening. Couldn't agree more. What did you guys think of the final season of King of Thrones? Terrible! I sorta liked it. WHAT?! Task: Make Hell Principals Argue With Themselves Some More (3h) If the user has Lisafer: Task: Make Lisafer Enjoy the Show (3h, Hellementary School, Hellscape or Brown House) They spent eight seasons building up the ice demons only to have them go down like cheap punks! Just like our guys down in Zamhareer. They ARE cheap punks! Why you — get over here! I'm already over here! We're attached at the shoulders! *head butts the other head* Ow-ow! Darn these shared pain receptors! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Two Heads Are More Than One Pt. 3

After tapping on Hell Principals' exclamation mark: I went too far. I'm sorry. It takes a real principal to admit he was wrong. Let's focus on getting our heads back together! I think these two hotheads deserve some ice cream with a brain freeze chaser. Cooler heads will always prevail. Hahaha! Task: Make Hell Principals Have Trouble Eating Ice Cream (12h) Obviously we still aren't back in sync yet. Clearly. We should have NOT shared sundaes. Did you get candy sprinkles? Sprinkles are an unholy abomination! I love 'em! I say skip the ice cream and just gimme sprinkles! And...we're fighting. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Two Heads Are More Than One Pt. 4

After tapping on Hell Principals' exclamation mark: We've got to be of one mind again! Space Wars? Space Trek! AAAARGH! Hot dogs! Hamburgers! Man, listening to you two argue is torture! Hmm...are you thinking what I'm thinking? YES! Task: Make Hell Principals Torture Students (8h, Hellementary School, Hellscape or Brown House) What on and under Earth is going on in here?! We're just torturing students. My apologies. Please continue. Quest reward: 200 and 20
