Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Lloyd's exclamation mark Darn, yet another apocalypse didn't come to pass. Us preppers just can't catch a break. I had so many plans for the post-apocalyptic hellscape: shaving my hair into a mohawk, wearing all leather, instituting a Beanie Baby-based currency... I should stop talking to myself before people start thinking the guy-who's-rooting-for-society-to-collapse is crazy! I'll just write my thoughts in my journal. Now, which Beanie Baby notebook should I use... Task: "Make Lloyd Journal Apocalyptic Thoughts". The job takes place at the Preppers' Compound and takes 4 hours. Wow, I feel like I emptied my head of everything that was in there. Better go to Moe's to fill it back up with cheap booze. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Lloyd's exclamation mark 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. Have you ever thought about getting a publisher and making this into a book? Of course I have! Half the reason I got into prepping was to make my way into the literati! Oh, so you don't need our advice? Only thing I need is to decide which publishing house I'm gonna go with: Simon & Shooter, Random Bunker, Doubledoomsday, HarperShut-ins... Task: "Make Lloyd Choose a Publisher". The job takes place at the Preppers' Compound and takes 4 hours. Boy, these prepper publishers sure know how to moonshine and dine a fella! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Lloyd's exclamation mark Well, which publisher did ya go with? Lemme guess: you decided to self-publish. No way! I'll risk being self-sufficient when society falls, but I need professionals to get this book into as many stores as possible. I went with Oxford University Press. Those cutthroat psychos will get this book on more shelves than a prepper's jars during pickling season. So, what's next? You work with an editor to get your book in perfect shape? Nah, they got people to do that for me. I have to work on something far more important: my photo for the book cover! Task: "Make Lloyd Have a Photo Shoot for the Book". The job takes place at the Preppers' Compound and takes 6 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Lloyd's exclamation mark I really wanted my true self to show, so I went with this photo of me looking pensive riding a motorcycle while smoking a pipe and writing with a quill pen. Ah, the understated look. Wearing two monocles was a nice touch, too. There he is, the author of "Thus Prepped Zarathustra"! Lloyd! Lloyd! Sign my book! This book is brilliant! Where do you get your ideas?! Same place I get everything else: from inside my windowless bunker! Task: "Make Lloyd Meet With Fans". The job takes place at the Preppers' Compound and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Springfielders Get Books Autographed" (x5). The jobs take place at the Preppers' Compound and take 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Lloyd's exclamation mark *sigh* What's the matter, Lloyd? Weren't PREPARED for the downside of fame? "Downside"?! Fame's great! Money, adulation, all the canned beans I could eat! But I made the classic prepper mistake: I confused my own thoughts with the plotline of Kevin Costner's post-apocalyptic masterpiece "The Postman". 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. 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... Task: "Make Lloyd Prepare for the End". The job takes place at the Preppers' Compound and takes 8 hours. Quest reward: 200 and 20

Behind the Laughter[edit]

The quest name is a reference to 15 minutes of fame.
