Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After starting the update Halloween approaches. The time when my evil powers are at their height. Tonight my foul presence will bring terror to the huddled, fearful mortals of Springfield. Could you stop off at the Kwik-E-Mart? We need more kitchen trash bags. But I'm flying home as a bat! I'll look like an idiot carrying a shopping bag. Do it! Or tonight your foul presence will be bringing terror to the living room sofa. Yes, Dear. Task: "Make Springfielders Ignore Count Dracula" (x5). The jobs take place at Homes and take 6 seconds. If Count Dracula is owned: Task: "Make Count Dracula Fail to Scare Springfielders". The job takes place at Homes and takes 6 seconds. After starting Count Dracula's job *hypnotizing stare* I want to drink your blood! Really? You look a little old to be a network executive. Oh Krusty, if I wasn't already undead, you'd slay me! After finishing the tasks I do not understand. Not a single person in this town is scared by me. I even bit this woman and she started coming on to me. *laughs sheepishly* I haven't had action like that in years. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Pt. 1 Why is no one scared of me? You'd think people deal with unholy bloodsuckers every day. They do: Freemium game designers. Our only hope is to use our vampire allure and turn the people of Springfield into our minions. But first we'll have to get rid of the most dangerous and sexy man in town. Task: "Make Ned Fend Off Vampires". The job takes place at Flanders House and takes 6 seconds. After starting the job Hey, hey, the only woman I let bite my neck is my wife! Then what's the problem. Just like her, I'm dead. *long suck* Ooh, I feel like an altar boy who's been overdoing the communion wine... After finishing the task Homer, help! Vampires are trying to kill me. Don't worry! Vampires can't stand garlic. Just hang these cloves around your neck. Garlic? That's awfully French. I'll stick with the vampires. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark Homer, our city is being stalked by vampires! Nooo! They're so terrifyingly moody and angst-ridden. Have no flayvin! Lengthy computer simulations have revealed the way to defeat them. We must dig up ancient relics from the old Van Flanders ruins, and use them to summon a mythical ancient power. The legends call it "Sky Finger" and apparently it has a mysterious power called "tapping". Reward: 10 Task: "Place Old Ruins". Task: "Discover a Relic". Is this it? That's a rock. Is this it? That's the same rock. I'm bored. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Ned's exclamation mark We need to dig up more ancient relics and use them to defeat the evil besetting our town. Stupid relics. I've already broken three of your shovels digging them up. More shovels please. I call upon the sky lord to grant us a forge burning with righteousness, forming metal into pickaxes of holy fury. Stupid Flanders! Why didn't you wish for a beer and a jackhammer! Task: "Place Holy Forge". It takes 6 seconds. Task: "Acquire Pickaxes" (x3). Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark Look out! Vampires! Stake 'em! *snarls* No, Homer, those monsters are actually our fellow townspeople! Definitely stake 'em! The vampires have used their "allure" to put a curse on regular people. I think I know how to free them from the allure, but we'll need to use the ceremonies written in the old Flanders family tome. Now where did I put that tome? I borrowed it to put under the leg of my wobbly coffee table. Task: "Place Flanders Family Tome". Task: "Tap the Flanders Family Tome to Cleanse All Monster Minions". Task: "Clear the Curse on Monster Minions in Friends Towns" (x3). Wow, that tome of yours has some kickass anti-minion power. It also has a mighty good recipe for lemonade. Like to try some? We're allies, not friends. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 6[edit]

After completing Pt. 5 You'll never stop my minions. We will scatter to the dark corners of Springfield! Hmm, we do have a LOT of dark corners in this town. It's the heart of our latest tourist campaign: "Springfield, Where Lovers Can Watch the Stars". Because we never repair the street lights. That's it! If we create a dark and spooky area around the old ruins, it'll attract the vampire minions, and keep them out of the town! The Frink Future Predictor gives that plan a nintey-nine percent chance of success! But an eighty-seven percent chance the Frink Future Predictor itself is just a worthless piece of junk. Frink away! Task: "Craft a Decoration". Task: "Reach 5% Curse Bonus". *inquisitive growl* It's working! The spooky ruins are attracting the minions! Once again, the Frink Future Predictor is right! Everyone wants into the game. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 7[edit]

After tapping on Count Dracula's exclamation mark Vladdy, dearest, my idiotic minions are hiding in the dark instead of chasing victims. Yes, the decision to make them mindless does seem to have some drawbacks. On the other hand, I think we can draw them out of the shadows with the one thing mindless people love. A shopping district. Task: "Unlock and Build Dracula-la Land". It takes 4 hours. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Pt. 8[edit]

After completing Pt. 7 I thought if we could defeat any town, it would be this one. No kidding. Last spring, Springfield couldn't even manage to handle an outbreak of athlete's foot. Still can't. My toes are itching the hell out of me. Stand back, Vladdy. It's time to see what a three-hundred-year-old lady vampire can do to this town. My dear, you don't look a day over two-fifty. Task: "Unlock Countess Dracula". Well, this didn't go as planned. That's Springfield, baby! If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! Don't worry about it, my darling. Go have a nice nap in your coffin. I can't! I drank so much blood I'm too fat to fit in it. Aw, you can burn those calories off in no time. Just stay up until the sun comes out. Message The Vampire invasion has been thwarted. But you can still send Countess Dracula on her job to Create Monster Minions! Message You have completed the Act 1 story! Keep Springfielders digging and cleansing Monster Minions, Act 2 starts soon! Quest reward: 200 and 20
