A Hellfish flys again! ( a Simpsons X DVV CK2 Quest)

I like that idea. We'd get a huge bonus to our reputation from it. Plus, Lisa would love it! And we'll need a bunch of smart people down the road.

EDIT: Until we get that as an option, what should we improve? I say the mini mall is the easiest option. Plus, we'll show up Shelbyville!
Maybe when we have more disposable income we can look into some of that solar energy stuff, sure we have nuclear power but who would say no to more power?

Basically anything that promises us more Income is a good start. Maybe the Lemon farms because it's a cheap way (no income cost) to flex on Shelbyville and get money. I'd like to get the retirement castle done even though it doesn't give us anything. It's what our fellow old people deserve. And I'd like to invest in Powell motors soon.

Also fun fact: Shelbyville has a nuclear power plant too. So us getting ours actually working as a proper facility could be seen as "keeping up with the Joneses" so to speak. I don't think their owners quite as bad as Burns but he's still a greedy ass.

I feel like we should probably focus on actions that boost our income without costing anything for turn 5. If my math is right we should have 5 income at the start of the turn so we probably don't want to spend more than 4 to ensure we have enough on hand to keep bribing Quimby.

The good news is there is a good few actions available to can boost our income without spending money; opening a new ecosystem, investing in Powell Motors, and upgrading the reactor to name a few. Definitely a good few ways to keep our money flow in the black for at least a few turns
 
If we feel like trusting the dice, we could also do some seaside trading or maybe we could get into smuggling if we want to earn more of fat tonys trust.
 
So hey, what happens if the Bandit rolls great, and everyone else rolls like shit? Does he just, leave?
Reading this a good deal later, it occurs to me that as the 'prince' running the Simpsons part of the crossover, we have a massive advantage in "ability to bounce back from being clowned on."

For everyone else, when idiotic crap happens to them and everyone looks like a fool, it's humiliating and means the vultures start circling.

For us, it's Tuesday.
 
If we're worried about money, should we dig deeper into what Burns owned? I'm sure he had some treasure lying around. No way he kept everything in the bank.

But yeah, investing in Powell Motors and starting lemon farms seem like good ideas to increase income. Let's put both of those into the next turn! Maybe buy Itchy and Scratchy too, if we can.
 
A Duck and A Wizard Walk Into A Bar (non canon)
A Duck and A Wizard Walk Into A Bar

Springfield was used to Moe's Tavern being a hub of late night activity, both for a good drink and a place to go to watch the literal rat races on the weekends. What many of the patrons were not used to however, was the young duck girl sitting at the bar, her dyed pink hair pulled back so as to not get in her face, as she spoke with the bartender himself.

"I'm telling you," Lena stressed "Voodoo zombies and actual eat your brain zombies are different, but if we can get some bits of them we'd totally be able to hit them with the ol hoodoo!"

"And I'm tellin you," the acerbic bartender shot back "I ain't goin no where a zombie can get to this neck of mine. I'm tryin ta save it for the next time the dracula convention rolls around, those suckas can't get enough of the ol' Szyslak blood."

"Uhg, dude!" The teenager throws her hands up in disgust. "Look I'm not saying we need to get a bit of every zombie, there should be enough of a link through a few bits that we could-"

She is cut off when the door to tavern swings open and a man with a truly impressive beard and an equally impressive disregard for modern fashion shuffles in.

"Ah yes, exactly on time, as a wizard should be." Crumb nods to himself as he shuffles to the bar. "Excuse me my good man, I have been told many of the beverages in your establishment have more esoteric properties and was wondering if you might have anything that helps return my beard to its once more voluminous state. I would do it myself, but alas, my magic has left me."

"Yeah I got just the thing Beardo," Moe returns, slapping a bottle of with a masking tape label reading "Moe's Absinth" on the counter in front of the wizard. "In house special, rub it in the beard to make it pop, drink it to go blind, and it triples as a paint stripper."

"Hey!" Lean waves her arms, drawing the attention of the two older men. "I thought we were trying to deal with the freakin zombie problem here, not have a makeover session!" She gives Moe a dirty look, "though maybe you do need that more."

"That's it, I don't gotta take that from a teenager, outta my bar!" Moe fires back, pointing to the door.

"Ooooh zombies you say?" Crumb replies with interest, lathering his beard in Moe's concoction, the hair beginning to lightly smoke as he does so. "Are they all as kind as that Kaiser fellow Mr. Simpson has working for him? The last time I had to deal with zombies was maybe… twenty year ago? Caused quite the stir throughout the school…"

"Wait, Crumb you've dealt with a zombie invasion before?" Lena questions. "Do you think you'd be able to deal with the zombies here, because yeah they ain't as… nice as Willhelm is."

"Kid's ain't wrong dere Crumb," Moe agrees, counting the golden coins Crumb has paid with. "Couple ah folks have talked about hearing gunshots from there and a couple ah my guys from the rat races have talked about a few pets going missing."

Both hands deep in his beard, Crumb seems to be attempting to recall something, but yelps as he pulls one hand back, revealing it red and angry.

"Oh yeah, don't touch dat stuff for too long, like I said it strips paint real good." Moe casually comments. "No refunds neither."

"Rather rude, but I suppose using untested tonics on myself is something I would have chastised the students for," the wizard notes, wiping the remaining liquid from his hands on his robes, the garment briefly sparkling before returning to normal. "As for the zombies, I may have an idea but alas and again, I am bereft of my own magical abilities and my wand and from what I have seen, none of the local casters nor those hired by Mr.Simpson are actual practitioners."

"No but we are!" Lena points between Moe and herself. "Moe's got his voodoo and I can do plenty! Teach us how to kick some zombie butt Crumb."

"Now slow down there kid, like I said I ain't getting near no zombies!" Moe shoots back.

"Well I suppose if you're a practitioner of voodoo that wouldn't be necessary." Crumb muses. "I am less versed in the art, but if we could find something from the zombie's life with enough of a connection, it would allow the same control as if you had a piece of the creature itself."

"See Moe, we can do this!" She shoots him a sly look, "and think about how much you could charge if you were the guy who save Springfield from a zombie invasion."

"Ah cripes, money, my only weakness." The bartender sighs, huddling up with the teenage shadow duck and the beardomancer to see if they couldn't come up with a plan.
____________________________________________________________________________
AN: I think Lena and Moe could have a bunch of fun interactions and Crumb himself is a weird guy who could actually help these two with their magical talents.
 
Got bored and decided to write a non canon Omake set in the future again.

Repeat, NON CANON! lol

Park Vs. Vanderquack: Dawn of the Misunderstanding

You were Webby Vanderquack, and you were FINE. Yep. Completely ok.

Sure, Lena was a bit more busy nowadays, but that made sense. She had her job at the power plant, other friends and.... Hunter.

You weren't sure why you didn't vibe with Hunter initially. He was a good guy. And of course he liked Lena! Lena was perfect, and cool, and cute and- Ok, you should probably stop this train of thought before you started blushing and Bart noticed.

Anyways, the point was It didn't make sense why Hunter annoyed you so much. And then you realized, after talking to Cricket and Bart, why... He was totally dating Lena!

It made sense. They were pretty similar, and Lena was amazing. You would date her... uh, hypothetically of course. Yep. No actual desire for it there.

A-Anyways, you were clearly just worried Something would go awry between the two and Lena would be upset. But that was ridiculous. Hunter didn't seem like he would willingly hurt a fly, let alone Lena. So probably best to let it go.

And you thought you did. You gave them space when you could and did your best to drop hints about things Lena liked to the oblivious blonde. Granted, he always seemed pretty confused when you did that, but he was pretty awkward, so you didn't think much of it.

Overall, things seemed to be going well. You decided to drop by Hunter's house to subtly remind him Valentine's Day was coming up... and were immediately stunned by what you saw.

xxx

You were Willow Park, and at the end of the day, you were more happy than sad.

You missed your Dads. And the Human Realm was kind of weird. But you had good friends, a decent place to stay and... a boyfriend.

You still blushed thinking about it. You and Hunter had been through a lot, and love had blossomed, but you never thought it would actually go anywhere. But here you were, cuddling on the couch, about to kiss for the first time. Vee was there watching TV, which made it a little awkward, but the Basilisk was polite enough to pretend she wasn't there.

And then Webby burst in, looking uncharacteristically enraged.

"HUNTER NO MIDDLE NAME NOCEDA!" She bellowed.

"... That's me, yes." Hunter rightfully seemed pretty floored by whatever the heck was happening. Ever the peacekeeper, you got up and kept your hands up placatingly as Webby shook.

"Uh, Webby, I don't know what's happening but-" You begin.

"You can stay out of this, you....you... HARLOT!' Webby snapped.

The atmosphere changed immediately.

"Excuse me?" You asked, not dropping your usual sweet tone, but an edge undeniably entered it, boiling beneath the surface.

"Peace." Vee wisely decided to get the hell out of Dodge, running upstairs.

"You heard me!" Webby exclaimed after a moment's hesitation.

Hunter looked helplessly upstairs, clearly wishing to Join Vee and not be a part of whatever was about to go down.

You took a deep breath and tried to keep things civil, if only for his sake.

"I am going to ask you nicely to apologize, Webby." You requested.

"Make me." Webby glared.

"...Ok. Guess we're doing this." You deadpanned.

Hunter made the wise decision to apologize later if you were offended and join Vee as you summoned your plants and all Hell broke loose.

xxx

You were Hunter, and you had no idea what was going on.

"Dude, what the heck is happening?!" Gus asked the moment you entered Luz's room.

"I don't know! Webby just showed up, yelled at me, insulted Willow and now they're fighting downstairs!" You explained.

"...You know, if two girls were fighting over me-" Luz began, trying to lighten the mood.

"Hmmm?" Amity said in a sweet tone, though her eyes made it clear she was uncharacteristically a bit miffed at her girlfriend.

"...On second thought I don't think I should finish that sentence."

There was continued banging and yelling from downstairs.

"Aw geez, Mom's going to ground us until college if they're wrecking the place half as bad as it sounds." Vee sulked.

"Ok, one of us needs to go down there and calm them down." Amity piped up again.

"Thank you for your sacrifice, Blight." Gus saluted her.

"Hahahaha- Heck no." Amity deadpanned.

"Well, SOMEONE has to do it!" You whined.

More banging from downstairs.

"APOLOGIZE!" Willow could be heard yelling.

"I WILL APOLOGIZE WHEN I'M DEAD!" Webby responded.

"That doesn't make any sense, you psycho!"

"...Your face doesn't make any sense!"

"Ok, this is ridiculous! Hunter, call Lena! She'll probably know what's got Webby so upset." Amity suggested.

"Yeah, and make it quick, I left some of My Good Witch Azura cosplay material down there..." Luz added worriedly.

You decided to let That blatant case of skewered priorities go as you called your closest friend outside the Hexsquad.

"Yo?" Lena thankfully picked up.

"LENA! Thank goodness, please get over here! Webby and Willow are fighting and we're scared!" You pleaded.

"...I don't know, I kinda want to see who would win-"

"LENA!"

"I was joking, yeesh. Mostly. I'll be right over."

xxx

Back downstairs, you were Webby Vanderquack, and you were on the ropes.

Granny had instilled alot of useful fighting techniques within you, even against magic, but Willow was the whole package of physical brawn and magical might.

The greenette had you in a headlock.

"YOU LOST! APOLOGIZE!" She demanded, any pretense of being nice long gone.

"I DIDN'T HEAR NO BELL!" You slam your head into her stomach, winding her.

To be honest, you're not even sure what you're accomplishing anymore. You had wrecked her house (though she obviously was also at fault for that), scared Hunter off and you were at bit of a stalemate. You should probably just book it while you had the chance. But something within you couldn't let this go, couldn't just not keep hurting the person who has helped Hunter hurt your best friend!

You try to tackle Willow, but she dodged, leaving you to slam into the coffee table.

"Ok, Pink, Plant Girl, what the hell is going on!?" A familiar voice Interjected as you slowly got up. You beamed despite the situation.

"LENA!" You cheered.

"De Spell, tell your friend to just apologize! She burst into our house, yelled at Hunter, insulted me and wrecked the place!" Willow continues to be uncharacteristically pissed, pointing at you.

"Hey! It takes two to tango, jerk! And you were about to kiss Hunter!" You glared right back.

"Wha- We're dating, you ass! Of course we're going to kiss!" Willow threw her hands up.

"What!? How long has he been cheating!?" You leap to your feet, glaring upstairs, as by now Hunter and the rest of the Hexsquad have peeked their heads down to see what was happening. Hunter squeaked and hid behind Gus, who humorously in turn hid behind Luz, who gave an awkward wave.

"What are you talking about!?" Willow got your attention back on her.

"Hunter! Lena! They're dating!" You pointed an accusatory finger.

"... No we're not?" Lena reinserted herself into the conversation.

"...Wait what?" All your anger instantly deflated.

"Uh, yeah, we're just friends. Barely that, sometimes, dude can be kind of annoying." Lena quipped.

"Gee, thanks, you're a real ray of sunshine yourself." Hunter muttered.

As the two of them jokingly bickered, you looked around at the wrecked Noceda household, at yourself and Willow, and immediately felt ashamed.

"...Aw geez. Willow, I-I... Gosh. I'm sorry." You muttered, sincere as it was awkward.

"...I would have preferred if all this didn't happen, but now that I know the reason, I forgive you. Still kinda mad though." Willow thankfully decided to be the bigger person and let this go, though you get the feeling things are rightfully going to be weird between you two for awhile.

"...Huh. Well everything worked out, I guess!" Luz beamed.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY LIVING ROOM!?" Camila screamed as she entered and dropped the groceries in shock.

".. Oh yeah, mami." Luz mused.

"SCATTER! EVERY KID FOR THEMSELVES!" Vee panicked, shoving Luz and running off, you and the others (besides Amity) not far behind.

"Hey! TRAITOR!" Luz shouted, Amity at least cushioning the blow by carrying her, making her blush.

"KIDS! GET BACK HERE AND EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED!" Camila yelled, uncharacteristically (though pretty justifiably) enraged as she chased you all down.

I see the kids are falling into the usual Springfield shenanigans.

Must be something in the water, wouldn't be strange with all the stuff Burns used to pour there.

You know I wouldn't be surprised that a later adventure would be going after the kids before they get themselves killed.

I can totally see the team of Abe, Mona, Homer, Marge, Ms Beakly, Camila and probably the greens later down the road.

The kids of course are happy at first, until they realize they are SO grounded once the parents and grandparents beat the shit out of the turn villain.
 
I feel I should note The Greens are in Springfield by now, they just... haven't really done anything because they aren't super relevant and you haven't take Personal for Mona to hang out with them lol
Though it would take more time for them to show up.

Should totally take the option next turn to see if we can recruit them soon.

They should come in handy for the lemon trees and would free up Willie for the marital stuff.

We could also pair them for 2 bonuses in farming.

Dont particularly want to recruit any more then necessary at the moment, we have already reached hero bloat and taking up many more slots seems like an bad idea
 
Also, we want to have enough slots to have the rest of the Simpson family as well. It'd suck if we ended up with too many heroes so one of the kids couldn't be recruited at all
 
Fair enough, not like the greens Will be moving away anytime soon.

On the other hand we Will need to be on the lookout if Chip wants to start shit.
 
Also, we want to have enough slots to have the rest of the Simpson family as well. It'd suck if we ended up with too many heroes so one of the kids couldn't be recruited at all
Doing quick math leads us to having two slots left in that case, (4 Simpsons - maggie who is probably not going to be recruitable for... obvious reasons, this is assuming the whole main family is recruitable and does not turn into an heroball) and 14 current hero's, 20 slots (could be raised in future) means we can go for two more heros without risking anything, one of which should be an diplo one since we are dangerously low on them.

It will be several years before the kids can realistically be viable for recruitment for anything serious. I'd rather they just be temp hero units that pop up every so often. For fun.

And I must once again state this: not every named character has to be one of our hero units. They can just be someone who works for us/someone we know.
 
Actually that makes me wonder, do temp heroes count towards our cap of 20? I think it was said at one point that Marge and the kids would be temp heroes so if they don't count then that gives us a little leeway
 
If we do recruit the Greens would they be individuals or some sort of Hero Ball? Because I'd rather they didn't fill up all our current slots. Honestly I'd just be fine with them making some cameos and a blurb about them being in charge of some of the lemon orchards we plan to set up. Or providing a small bonus* to some actions like Lenny, Carl and Gil Gunderson do.

*In their case likely farming.
