Abe should have just hired an independent crew and just tell them what he wants, at least that way, hollywood doesnt screw the pooch
- Location
- Fall, or somewhere close to it
Personally when I wrote it I imagined he asked his people if they had any connections and from Homer, to Bart, to Millhouse they got this producer. They could have made it in house or with a small crew, but Abe still remembers the glitz and glam of Hollywood back in the day.

This Is Halloween… Right?
Abe stood in the middle of Springfield's Nuclear Power Plant, a clipboard in his hand and a determined look on his face. The place was already buzzing with activity as workers filed in, all preparing for the night's big event. It wasn't every day that the plant's new owner decided to throw a party, but Abe Simpson was no ordinary boss.
"This is gonna be the best Halloween party anyone's ever seen!" He declared, shuffling past a stack of pumpkins. He pointed to Jasper, who was struggling with a tangle of fake spider webs near the break room. "Jasper, make sure those cobwebs look real spooky, not like some kinda retirement home knitting project!"
Jasper squinted through the mess of webs, muttering, "Spooky, huh? Well, I'll do my best, but my best ain't what it used to be."
Abe waved his friend off knowing he'd do a great job. Looking around for the other helpers, his eyes landed on Apu who was carefully arranging bowls of candy on the long tables set up in the cafeteria.
"Good work, Apu! You got enough of those…what do the kids call 'em these days? Skittle-knuckles?" Abe barked.
"Close enough, Mr. Simpson," Apu replied with a good-natured smile. Abe's strange antics were always entertaining and Apu really enjoyed having someone who cared about the people he was employing and the town itself.
As the preparations went on, Abe made his way over to the corner where Lena was setting up the more mystical aspects of the evening. Dark candles, some glowing crystals, and even a fog machine added a touch of the occult. Abe wasn't actually too sure how the fog machine counted as magic, but the teen had assured him that it was completely necessary and who was he to question a the young occultist
Lena raised an eyebrow as Abe approached, holding up a small charm she'd been placing near the punch bowl. "Are you sure about this, Abe? You've got some heavy-duty magic stuff mixed in with dollar-store decorations."
"That's what makes it special!" Abe grinned. "Can't have a real Halloween party without a few curses and spooks, right?"
Lena rolled her eyes but couldn't help but smile. "If you say so. Just don't be surprised if someone accidentally turns into a pumpkin or has ectoplasm come out of their nose."
The entire plant had been transformed in record time, thanks to the teamwork of everyone who worked there. It wasn't just the rank-and-file employees who chipped in, Apu, Jasper, and Lena had taken time to help organize the event, but so had a number of other Springfield residents, eager to see what their eccentric boss had up his sleeve for this Halloween bash.
Abe was feeling proud of himself. Sure, he'd only decided to throw the party a couple of days ago, but through his hard work and that of his employees, it had all come together. He could already picture the happy faces of his employees, the laughter, the spooky decorations, and the joy of coming together on this special holiday. It was a great way to show his appreciation for their hard work over the past year. The plant had been running at tip top form this last year, partly through his work, but mostly it was thanks to all of them and gosh darn it, they deserved a good time!
As the afternoon turned into early evening, the plant began to look like a scene out of a classic Halloween movie. Plastic skeletons were propped up in the hallways, jack-o'-lanterns flickered with eerie lights, and the cafeteria had been decked out with bats and skulls, complete with a cauldron of punch bubbling ominously in the center. Music pumped softly through the overhead speakers, a mix of spooky sound effects and classic Halloween music.
He was making the final rounds, checking everything one last time, when Marge walked in with Homer and the kids in tow. "Grandpa, this looks amazing!" she said, sounding genuinely impressed. "I didn't know you had it in you to plan something like this."
"Well, it wasn't just me!" Abe puffed out his chest. "I had plenty of help from Lena, Apu, and Jasper and some of the other plant workers! But I made sure this Halloween bash was somethin' special!"
Homer, his eyes immediately locked on the punch bowl, shuffled over to Lena. "Hey, is this stuff drinkable, or is it gonna turn me into a toad?"
"It's just punch." Lena confirmed with a smirk. "But I did mix in a cursed donut with some of the regular ones, so you better watch out."
"A cursed donut!" Homer cried, honestly the most horrified anyone had heard him in a while. "What kinda monster are you?!"
"She's not a monster, she's a businesswoman.." Bart said, walking up to Lena and handing her a twenty dollar bill. "And it'll turn him green if he eats it?"
"Oh yeah, green as fresh broccoli dude." Lena replied, pocketing the cash and leaving the Simpsons with a wave. "Enjoy the party!"
As more people filtered in, including some plant employees, their families, and even a few of Springfield's regulars, Abe watched with a sense of pride. The decorations were perfect, the food was plentiful, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. People were in costumes, chatting and laughing. Some even wandered over to Lena's corner of occult oddities, intrigued by the mysterious atmosphere she had created.
Everything was going perfectly. That is until Lisa came over. "Grandpa, this party is great, I can't believe you went so far with the theme! I've never been to a Halloween themed New Years Party"
Abe's face went blank. "What?"
Lisa sees the look on her grandpa's face and covers her mouth in surprise. "Oh Grandpa…" She pulls her phone out discreetly and shows him the date.
December 31st. New Year's Eve.
Abe's eyes widened. "New Year's Eve? But I thought it was Halloween! How did I—wait a minute…" He trailed off, looking around the room, confused. The eerie decorations, the orange and black color scheme, he had clearly misread the calendar. But everyone had shown up and seemed to be enjoying themselves, which meant…
Abe glanced around, searching for anyone who might've caught on to his mistake. He caught a few knowing looks from some of the employees, but they were smiling, clearly amused at the mix-up. In fact, they were probably just going along with it because they assumed it was a themed party for New Year's.
"Ah, what the heck!" Abe muttered to himself. "We're here, we're having a good time, so who cares?"
With a newfound burst of energy, he raised his arms and declared, "Alright, everyone! Welcome to the first-ever New Year's Halloween Bash!" A round of laughter echoed through the cafeteria. People didn't seem to care what day it was; they were just happy to be there.
Abe let out a sigh of relief. Sure, he had messed up the dates, but the party was still a hit. And if he played his cards right, he could even pretend this was part of the plan all along.
As the night wore on, the party only got livelier. Homer had managed to find the cursed donut and true to Lena's word he was an iridescent green, while Jasper had set up a piñata for the younger kids and was letting them use his trademarked paddle to try and crack it open. Lena was both desperately trying to find and not be seen by a certain pink bowed duck while Apu, ever the resourceful one, had arranged a makeshift karaoke station, and Marge was encouraging everyone to sing along.
Though relieved that the party was a success, Abe couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic as he looked around the room. It had been a long, strange year since he had taken over the power plant, but the people here, his employees and friends, had become like a second family to him. He had never been great at showing gratitude or expressing his feelings, but this party was his way of thanking them all for sticking by him.
As midnight approached, more people had started to suspect that the "New Year's Halloween Bash" might have been the result of a mix-up, but no one seemed to mind. After all, it was a great way to close out the year, with laughter, good food, and plenty of bizarre but fitting decorations.
Abe found himself standing next to Lena near the punch bowl as they watched the party unfold. Lena leaned in and said with a teasing smile, "You do realize that pretty much everyone knows you got the dates wrong, right?"
Abe huffed. "Yeah, well, if they do, they ain't sayin' anything. Besides, I like to think I can turn any mistake into a success."
Lena chuckled. "You're not wrong. And honestly, this party turned out pretty great."
He looked back to her in surprise. The young duck stayed focused on the party, watching as the youngest of The Greens was walking with Webby, the two of them quite animated.
"Well ya know, I didn't do it alone." He replies, looking back to the people they both loved enjoying what they had both worked hard to make. "Who woulda thought the two of us would be thowin' a party like this in a nuclear power plant?
That gets a snort from the teenage occultist, "Sure as heck not me, but here we are." She raised her drink in salute to Abe, "but you seem to bring out the best in people. You're a good guy boss man."
Abe didn't know what to say to that, so he just grinned, feeling a bit of warmth in his chest.
As the countdown to midnight began, the whole room gathered around the tables, clinking their glasses together and cheering in anticipation of the new year. Even though the decorations were meant for Halloween, the spirit of the party was about celebration and togetherness. The clock struck midnight, and cheers rang out across the room.
"Happy New Year!" the crowd shouted.
Abe stood at the center of it all, smiling as he raised his glass to the room at large.
"To another strange, wonderful year ahead," he declared, his voice loud and proud. "And remember no matter what day it is, as long as we're together, it's a celebration worth having!"
As the night wound down, he couldn't help but think back on the evening with a sense of satisfaction. Sure, he might've gotten the date wrong, but in the end, it didn't matter. What mattered was that they had all come together, his family, his friends, and his employees. They had shared a night filled with joy, laughter, and a touch of the Simpson family's signature chaos.
And as the new year began, Abe Simpson looked forward to whatever madness the future had in store.
AN: I feel like I'm pumping these out, but I am really enjoying it. A gift for one of our wonderful QMs, enjoy the party and remember the occasion don't matter as much as the people who you love being there with you.

Oh, boy, it's swell to say
Good morning Springfield, gah, hey!

DOMINATOR QUEST TURN 6 RESULTS
[X] Plan: What If We Blew Up MORE Things?
- [X] Universal Actions
- [X] Martial: Kick The Grock Out Of One Of The Skeletal Dork's Guys: DC Variable
-- [X] Mandarin DC140
Result: 96(Roll) + 37(Dominator Martial) + 25(Fire and Ice) + 10(The Domination) = 168
Show Up Personally Roll: 36, higher roll taken
Critical Success!
That stupid monkey in bone armor thought fortifying his planet, putting a bunch of mines around the place, AND setting up speakers that scream at her bots to blow them up would stop her from kicking his butt?
WRONG!
Crashing through the roof of his little bone fortress and squishing some of his guys right in front of him was satisfying, but not as much as when you started blasting!
The planet feel quickly and you encased everything but Mandrin's face while your bots burned everything down, thought the only part he seemed to actually get mad at was when you personally melted down all the symbols of his master.
Ah well it won't bother him anymore since after all was said and done you blasted a hole through him. He did turn into black goo instead of a normal corpse though.
Occult check DC 40: 29(Roll) + 0(Dominator's Occult)
That's probably fine though. He's dead all the same.
Result:
Mandarin's fortress world has been destroyed completely, removing those supplies from the Skeleton King's forces.
Mandarin has been Killed*.
+5 Volcanium from the destroyed planet.
-[X] Martial: Take Out A Galactic Federation Fleet DC:100
Result: 90(roll) + 37(Dominator Martial) + 18 (Dominator-Bot Knight Squad) + 10 (Fire and Ice) + 30 (The Domination) = 185
Critical Success!
The peace loving nerds have been moving more of their money away from defenses and more into "conservation" and "peace projects". Makes you wanna throw up and your Dominator-Bot Knight Squad show The Gal-Fed exactly what you think of that!
You let them see you coming, already patched into their comms to hear them panic but you make sure to only let out the signals that are screams of terror any that one guy who was crying for his mommy. Always fun to let those out.
The bots quickly board the vessels and clean house while you peruse the ship for anything of interest. None of the crew are anything fun, but it seems like they were in the process of moving some things from a "secure holding facility".
You eye at the two small marbles, labeled as 149 and 150.
"Well, maybe I can have some fun with these" you muse as the screaming on the ship stops. "Wonder what has got the Gal-Fed so scared?"
Results:
An Entire Gal-Fed Security Fleet Destroyed! Your Infamy with them grows, as does their fear of you!
Gained Two Items Labeled 149 & 150. Actions to examine these unlocked!
Learned the location of a Gal-Fed Secure Holding Facility. New Actions Unlocked
-[X] Martial: Install More Point Defenses On The Dominator DC80
Result: 43(Roll) +37(Dominator Martial) + 10(Fire and Ice) + 10(The Domination) = 100
Success!
You really are running out of places to put more guns and lasers on The Domination at this point, but luckily the ship itself can morph and move so you manage to slick even more point defenses on the hull.
They are nothing crazy, but they're going to be more than enough to stop anything short of Skull Boy showing up in his flagship from doing serious damage and they'll for sure fry anything the Gal-Fed can throw at you.
The less said about Hater's ship, the better
Result:
The Domination gains an additional +10 to its defensive rolls against other space craft!
The Domination has no more room for more exterior weapons or exterior defensive augments. The Swap Weapon or Remove Augment action will need to be taken if more are to be added.
-[X] Stewardship: Secure Tributary Lines DC50
Result: 94(Roll) + 15 (Dominator's Stewardship) = 109
Critical Success!
You know, when those planets pleaded to leave them for last you really weren't sure about it, but you have to say the idea to have them stream their people's suffering to you as they tried to mine out their own planet's Volcanium was genius!
Some of Silver's pirates had snooped around the line of ships that were dropping crates of your hard earned Volcanium, but blasts of lava from a couple stationary Dominator-bot turrets had kept them away from your prizes.
You kick back as the bots load up the volcanium, watching a rhino shaped guy get half melted as the substance pours out onto him and laugh!
Today was a good evil day!
Result:
Steady supply of Volcanium secured as several planets submit themselves to be destroyed last. (+1 Volcanium per turn)
Reputation and Infamy with Silver's Pirates increases
Dominator's Mood improves as livestreamed video of people's torment pleases her.
-[X] Diplomacy: Hear Out The Latest Pleading DC30

- [X] Intrigue - Spread False Fleet Direction DC:60/80/100
Result: 97(Roll) + 25(Dominator's Intrigue) = 123
Critical Success!
You know ol' skelebones is going to be expecting more coming his way after you took out his little monkey boy, so let him move his defenses and make his little goop monsters in that area.
Instead, plot out a course that makes it look as if you're going to be taking the long way around to get slam into the same territory Zerg is already bombarding, making them both think this is about to become another threeway battleground.
Instead though… What if you shot a hole through Zerg's periphery worlds so none of them could report until it's too late, and took one of his hyperlanes deep into Gal-Fed territory?
The so-called "Core Worlds" of the Gal-Fed think their safe is nestled behind so many layers of security, no one, absolutely no one will see it coming…
Results:
False Fleet Direction spread through most major spy networks, everyone knows you're making your way to battle Skeleton King and Zerg at the front. And everyone is wrong
DC for "Attack Gal-Fed Core Worlds" is reduced by 60, down to 100. This reduction decreased by 20 each turn for 3 turns until it returns to former DC.
Zerg and Skeleton King will divert forces from other regions to hold you off, making them commit more resources against each other.
-[X]Intrigue - Get A Better Disguise DC:50
Result: 51(Roll) + 25(Dominator's Intrigue) = 76
Success!
So your old disguise was kinda thrown together out of a desperate need to get out off The Domination and wasn't too great.
Luckily you have an impeccable taste in fashion and also had the bots bring back a ton of looted clothing before blowing up those Gal-Fed ships so you've got plenty of clothes to choose from, even if a lot of it is getting burnt because they're just uniforms.
Oooooh this one still has blood on the leather!
Result:
Dominator has several new outfits for disguises, giving all Intrigue actions to spot her while in disguise a -10 to their Intrigue rolls to discover her identity.
-[X] Learning - Test Another Element DC: Variable
--[X] Thundarium DC:
Results: 75(Roll) + 13(Dominator's Learning) + 20 (The Robots Make Sense At Least) =108
Success
So you had no idea that when those dorks blasted the core of The Domination with Frostonium that your wonderful ship would just integrate it like that and getting ice powers on top of the lava from all the Volcanium really was great.
What if you did it again, but this time on purpose?
It's slow going, introducing the Thundarium slowly so there is no chance of things going crazy or the ship's electrical systems getting overloaded by the electrical element you were introducing, but the idea of blasting that idiot Hater with lightning of your own makes it all worth it in the end doesn't it?
Plus that means your ship will be able to tank any electrical attacks anyone tries, so no EMPs knocking your bots offline anymore, no way!
Result
Total DC for integrating Thundarium into The Domination's systems revealed to be 200! 108/200 completed!
Learned that Thundarium integration will prevent other electricity based attacks from harming Dominator, The Domination, or the Dominator-Bots nearly as much.

--[X]Dominator: Make Snowmen (and then blow them up)
53
You're actually getting pretty good at making snow figures of people. Granted, they'll only really work if the person you're making is blue or white, but you manage to make a pretty convincing Zerg sculpture a few times to blow up.
You doubt it'll help at any point, but man is it fun watching the ice Zergs melt in lava.
AN: Well those certainly were some rolls that happened and a perfect natural Crit on the Diplo action into a crit fail on the magic learning action… Well you guys have been wanting another hero unit besides the bot squad for a while now, I hope you're satisfied!
[X] Plan: What If We Blew Up MORE Things?
- [X] Universal Actions
- [X] Martial: Kick The Grock Out Of One Of The Skeletal Dork's Guys: DC Variable
-- [X] Mandarin DC140
Result: 96(Roll) + 37(Dominator Martial) + 25(Fire and Ice) + 10(The Domination) = 168
Show Up Personally Roll: 36, higher roll taken
Critical Success!
That stupid monkey in bone armor thought fortifying his planet, putting a bunch of mines around the place, AND setting up speakers that scream at her bots to blow them up would stop her from kicking his butt?
WRONG!
Crashing through the roof of his little bone fortress and squishing some of his guys right in front of him was satisfying, but not as much as when you started blasting!
The planet feel quickly and you encased everything but Mandrin's face while your bots burned everything down, thought the only part he seemed to actually get mad at was when you personally melted down all the symbols of his master.
Ah well it won't bother him anymore since after all was said and done you blasted a hole through him. He did turn into black goo instead of a normal corpse though.
Occult check DC 40: 29(Roll) + 0(Dominator's Occult)
That's probably fine though. He's dead all the same.
Result:
Mandarin's fortress world has been destroyed completely, removing those supplies from the Skeleton King's forces.
Mandarin has been Killed*.
+5 Volcanium from the destroyed planet.
-[X] Martial: Take Out A Galactic Federation Fleet DC:100
Result: 90(roll) + 37(Dominator Martial) + 18 (Dominator-Bot Knight Squad) + 10 (Fire and Ice) + 30 (The Domination) = 185
Critical Success!
The peace loving nerds have been moving more of their money away from defenses and more into "conservation" and "peace projects". Makes you wanna throw up and your Dominator-Bot Knight Squad show The Gal-Fed exactly what you think of that!
You let them see you coming, already patched into their comms to hear them panic but you make sure to only let out the signals that are screams of terror any that one guy who was crying for his mommy. Always fun to let those out.
The bots quickly board the vessels and clean house while you peruse the ship for anything of interest. None of the crew are anything fun, but it seems like they were in the process of moving some things from a "secure holding facility".
You eye at the two small marbles, labeled as 149 and 150.
"Well, maybe I can have some fun with these" you muse as the screaming on the ship stops. "Wonder what has got the Gal-Fed so scared?"
Results:
An Entire Gal-Fed Security Fleet Destroyed! Your Infamy with them grows, as does their fear of you!
Gained Two Items Labeled 149 & 150. Actions to examine these unlocked!
Learned the location of a Gal-Fed Secure Holding Facility. New Actions Unlocked
-[X] Martial: Install More Point Defenses On The Dominator DC80
Result: 43(Roll) +37(Dominator Martial) + 10(Fire and Ice) + 10(The Domination) = 100
Success!
You really are running out of places to put more guns and lasers on The Domination at this point, but luckily the ship itself can morph and move so you manage to slick even more point defenses on the hull.
They are nothing crazy, but they're going to be more than enough to stop anything short of Skull Boy showing up in his flagship from doing serious damage and they'll for sure fry anything the Gal-Fed can throw at you.
The less said about Hater's ship, the better
Result:
The Domination gains an additional +10 to its defensive rolls against other space craft!
The Domination has no more room for more exterior weapons or exterior defensive augments. The Swap Weapon or Remove Augment action will need to be taken if more are to be added.
-[X] Stewardship: Secure Tributary Lines DC50
Result: 94(Roll) + 15 (Dominator's Stewardship) = 109
Critical Success!
You know, when those planets pleaded to leave them for last you really weren't sure about it, but you have to say the idea to have them stream their people's suffering to you as they tried to mine out their own planet's Volcanium was genius!
Some of Silver's pirates had snooped around the line of ships that were dropping crates of your hard earned Volcanium, but blasts of lava from a couple stationary Dominator-bot turrets had kept them away from your prizes.
You kick back as the bots load up the volcanium, watching a rhino shaped guy get half melted as the substance pours out onto him and laugh!
Today was a good evil day!
Result:
Steady supply of Volcanium secured as several planets submit themselves to be destroyed last. (+1 Volcanium per turn)
Reputation and Infamy with Silver's Pirates increases
Dominator's Mood improves as livestreamed video of people's torment pleases her.
-[X] Diplomacy: Hear Out The Latest Pleading DC30
Result: 100(Roll) + 3(Dominator's Diplomacy) = 103
NATURAL CRITICAL SUCCESS
To Be Continued in the interlude: Jester's Privilege
- [X] Intrigue - Spread False Fleet Direction DC:60/80/100
Result: 97(Roll) + 25(Dominator's Intrigue) = 123
Critical Success!
You know ol' skelebones is going to be expecting more coming his way after you took out his little monkey boy, so let him move his defenses and make his little goop monsters in that area.
Instead, plot out a course that makes it look as if you're going to be taking the long way around to get slam into the same territory Zerg is already bombarding, making them both think this is about to become another threeway battleground.
Instead though… What if you shot a hole through Zerg's periphery worlds so none of them could report until it's too late, and took one of his hyperlanes deep into Gal-Fed territory?
The so-called "Core Worlds" of the Gal-Fed think their safe is nestled behind so many layers of security, no one, absolutely no one will see it coming…
Results:
False Fleet Direction spread through most major spy networks, everyone knows you're making your way to battle Skeleton King and Zerg at the front. And everyone is wrong
DC for "Attack Gal-Fed Core Worlds" is reduced by 60, down to 100. This reduction decreased by 20 each turn for 3 turns until it returns to former DC.
Zerg and Skeleton King will divert forces from other regions to hold you off, making them commit more resources against each other.
-[X]Intrigue - Get A Better Disguise DC:50
Result: 51(Roll) + 25(Dominator's Intrigue) = 76
Success!
So your old disguise was kinda thrown together out of a desperate need to get out off The Domination and wasn't too great.
Luckily you have an impeccable taste in fashion and also had the bots bring back a ton of looted clothing before blowing up those Gal-Fed ships so you've got plenty of clothes to choose from, even if a lot of it is getting burnt because they're just uniforms.
Oooooh this one still has blood on the leather!
Result:
Dominator has several new outfits for disguises, giving all Intrigue actions to spot her while in disguise a -10 to their Intrigue rolls to discover her identity.
-[X] Learning - Test Another Element DC: Variable
--[X] Thundarium DC:
Results: 75(Roll) + 13(Dominator's Learning) + 20 (The Robots Make Sense At Least) =108
Success
So you had no idea that when those dorks blasted the core of The Domination with Frostonium that your wonderful ship would just integrate it like that and getting ice powers on top of the lava from all the Volcanium really was great.
What if you did it again, but this time on purpose?
It's slow going, introducing the Thundarium slowly so there is no chance of things going crazy or the ship's electrical systems getting overloaded by the electrical element you were introducing, but the idea of blasting that idiot Hater with lightning of your own makes it all worth it in the end doesn't it?
Plus that means your ship will be able to tank any electrical attacks anyone tries, so no EMPs knocking your bots offline anymore, no way!
Result
Total DC for integrating Thundarium into The Domination's systems revealed to be 200! 108/200 completed!
Learned that Thundarium integration will prevent other electricity based attacks from harming Dominator, The Domination, or the Dominator-Bots nearly as much.
-[X]Learning - Look into this… "Magic" junk DC:70
Result: 3(Roll) + 13 (Dominator's Learning)
CRITICAL FAILURE

ZOOTOPIA (Bellwether)
Continue Handling Bad PR
DC: 80
??? + ??? = 75
BARE FAILURE!
Mayor Bellwether has been on a tear through news circuits as of late, going on everything from fluff pieces to actual hard hitting interviews but despite her best efforts, the little lamb cannot get away from the questions first asked by Doris Deer.
Having no real response beyond what she has already said, reassuring that the collars are perfectly fine and that they're connected directly to the police and paramedics, few are finding it in themselves to believe that shock collars are the answer to any problem.
The ewe has returned to her city after the unsuccessful media blitz to "reorganize and demonstrate the use" of these collars.
LEVITHAN CORP
Hire New People
DC: 90
??? + ??? = 92
BARE SUCCESS!
It took a couple months, but eventually Leviathan's alluring offers of making above minimum wage won out against the drama of the whole clones and peanut debacle, finally securing an influx of new workers.
The effects this had on their robot factories are apparently too boring(and NDA'd) for the news to actually cover, but word on the social medias is that new hires in their distribution warehouses think the conditions are, quote, "kinda all right"
In other news, the conglomerate has also been buying and renovating small diners and restaurants across the country. Many of these "renovations" have been full-on expansions with stages, arcades, and much more! Leviathan's been tight-lipped about what exactly these projects are for, except their official social media accounts telling us to expect "big things" in the future.
Sell Frobots
DC: 70
??? + ??? = 158
CRITICAL SUCCESS!
Despite the few issues Leviathan Corp had the past few months, the company seemed to focus on what they were good at, and that was selling their unique brand of robots, the "Frobots".
They started making aggressive marketing campaigns, giving several promotions and offers regarding their sale to entice people to buy them… And it has been working flawlessly. Companies have been buying them in bulk!
In less than a month, Frobots could be seen in most states in the U.S, heck there were even some of those here in Springfield, that you could see when you walked to work every morning.
DEI (Doofensmirthz)
Shill Doofania on Social Media
No DC, higher the better
??? + ??? = 102
SUCCESS!
A strange countdown was posted across Doofania's many social media profiles, with many people speculating what the strange pharmacist would be unveiling when the number reached zero, with Shego chiming in that she was sure it would be terrible.
Both she and the world were surprised that when the timer hit zero, across Twitter, Youtube, and K an entire production was released, several hours in length with many tastefully done and catchy musical numbers.
The production received rave reviews by many online even with Shego pointing out that most of the plotline was just pure shilling of Doofania, most people just seemed to enjoy the production and see Doof and Doofania as a whole in a better light.
Sunny-Inator!
62
The skies around the Tri-State area have been nothing but clear and sunny these last few weeks, of which Doofenshmirtz is claiming the credit. With the uncommonly high temperature in the winter months combined with the sunny skies, many citizens of Doofania are taking the chance to enjoy these days in the sun.
The positive feedback from his people enjoying the beautiful skies has seemed to put a pep in the supposed dictator's step, taking a bit of time to enjoy the sunny days with his citizens.
KRONOS CORP (Syndrome)
Renew Military Contacts
DC: 70
??? + ??? = 74
BARE SUCCESS!
With the SRA repeals continuing talks despite their efforts, Syndrome, finally fully healed from his injuries, is annoyed with the Toons in his employ. Nonetheless, he goes to give them a seemingly simple task. General Stilton, a member of the US Army who is considered a bit of a crackpot for supposedly finding an alien cat, nonetheless has enough seniority to complain about their current contract with Kronos Corp and is causing issues.
"OK, ladies, if we mess this up it's back to the streets so let's - Dang it, Cinderella, just speak, you don't have to raise your hand."
"Uh, Snow? Where's Alice?"
"...."
The remaining trio are quick to rush to Rachel, Nevada to salvage the situation… only to find Alice shaking hands with a cowering General Stilton as he accepts a new contract and some plasma guns.
Syndrome seems baffled but pleased with this turn of events.
Send out More Feelers
DC: 60
??? + ??? = 51
BARE FAILURE!
Syndrome has been spotted in multiple cities in the US all in the same day, seemingly talking with various law enforcement officials and other public figures. All the people he has talked to seem reluctant to speak of what the billionaire cape spoke to them about, though one source was willing to reveal that "he is looking for a special type of talent."
Syndrome himself seemed annoyed at the lack of results of this search but has assured the public that "we're almost ready for a huge announcement folks, it'll be something no one expects and it'll be more than super, it'll be Incredible!"
DRAKKTEK (Shego)
Sabotage Kronos Corp
DC: 90
??? + ??? = 129
SUCCESS!
Syndrome's Omnidroid facilities have again come under attack, this time including the new omnicube facilities as well! The facilities suffered from a barrage of explosives that seemed incredibly well aimed at the repairs to the factories that had previously been damaged, while simply going for as much damage as possible on the newer omnicube facilities.
Syndrome once more took to social media to accus Shego who replied, "Couldn't prove it the first time, now this is just sad." and publicly posted a picture of herself relaxing on a golf green with an almost offensively stereotypical Scottish man while blocking Syndrome on K.
The explosive walls of text Syndrome spewed from there tripped a lot of profanity filters, though many people were more interested in the picture of Shego than Kronos Corp's plight.
Spread Bad Word about Doofania
DC: 90
??? + ??? = 78
FAILURE!
Many of Drakktek's social media accounts this month spent a large amount of time bad mouthing the so-called "nation of Doofania" that the mad pharmacist was so insistent on making a thing. Though there was some initial agreement that Doofensmirthz was taking the odd marketing campaign a touch too far, most of that sentiment melted away like sugar in the rain with the release of Doofania's musical production.
When Shego's personal twitter account continued the attacks on not just the supposed dictatorship, she received a lot of push back from people who were enjoying the musical numbers and the posts very quickly changed tone, going back to her normal attacks on the petty dictator's pettiness while also throwing in a jab at Syndrome, leading some people to believe that whoever was running Shego's social media that day may be in hot water.
ENCOM

DC: 60/80
??? + ??? = 129
SUCCESS!
After taking the world by storm and rapidly becoming the world's next massive social media platform, GoldBook has been suffering from a series of bugs and glitches that has had users complaining for weeks.
Beeks put out a statement that the problem would be fixed "so quick you would even tip if for getting you a coffee" but so far these problems have continued to plague the platform.
ENCOM has reached out to Waddle and offered their assistance in fixing the platform and optimizing it for their systems but rumors about the closed door meeting seem like they're not longer offering out of the goodness of their hearts and customer base.

THE US GOVERNMENT
Collab with Seth Manufacturing Co. On Fixing the Famine
DC: 60
??? + ??? = 42
FAILURE!
The government dropped the ball on this.
According to the Seth Co. statement, the distribution of the much needed food was brought to a halt by the government as the liaison they had been assigned caused "unrest amongst the workers and seemed to purposefully disrupt distribution plannings."
The government of course denied this, stating that their liaison had serious reason to believe that there were glaring inconsistencies in the numbers Seth Co had provided them, something about the amount of corn being delivered not matching the amount harvested, but all the public heard is that the famine would be continuing until the Feds managed to get everything sorted again.
The public is growing restless and hungry.

After the mostly successful raid you had hoped that you would manage to keep a close eye out for Burns, but he seems to have slunk away once again like the snake he is. These weeks without managing to find him have put you on edge again.
He's managed to hole up again, this time with fewer resources and allies for sure, but you know that snake in the grass has gone to ground once again and it'll be a pain to find out just where he's hiding.
Commit Robberies
DC: 55
??? + ??? = 30
FAILURE!
There was a brief spat at one of the local restaurants when a child ran into the place and demanded everyone's money, smashing a piece of glass as she entered. Some patrons panicked and ran, causing food and salad dressing to fly everywhere.
The panic seemed to possibly be the point though, as in the chaos several witnesses say that the child's face grew more relaxed as the food and condiments flew and she left the restaurant without actually taking any money.
How odd.

There have been rumors going around that someone reeeeally resembling that guy on the giant dome monitor has surfaced in California. It may just be some guy who looks really similar to that smug son of a bitch, but this may just be the guy who pointed a shotgun at your son, grandson, and tried to blow up the entire damn town.
Could be a complete coincidence, maybe he's just an unlucky son of a gun who looks a lot like him, but maybe that should be looked into. After all, you'd have some payback to give, you and everyone else in town.

THE YAKUZA

No DC, the Higher the Better

The Finale told you of a group of five men that were trying to set themselves up in the "criminal underground" of Springfield, claiming to be the members of a large yakuza family. They had gathered some weapons and were attempting to muscle in on the territory of some of the other street level crime, without much success.
SPYMASTER INTERRUPT
Your spymaster told you he had also managed to capture one of these members and "had a good chat" with the man. Supposedly they are from a larger yakuza family from overseas that had gained an interest in taking over the underground here in Springfield and were planning on sending reinforcements over to help them with the task.
They had supposedly launched these attacks on other territories to try and look, in his words "less incompetent" so that the fixer coming over would be less inclined to take their fingers when he arrived.
The Finale thanked the man for his information and promised him a nice safe jail cell where he could keep all of his fingers as long as he was good and delivered him to The Springfield Penitentiary.
Random Event Roll
92
You had to admit, there were many things you expected to never run into again in your life as you went to relax in your new favorite chair.
Your wayward, Car Manufacturing son wasn't at the top of the list, but he was pretty high on it.
"Hey, pops." Herb Powell nodded along, politely but with a clear sense of awkward tension. You couldn't blame him. Even when Homer and him met twice, you made no effort to share two words with the guy. In hindsight, you wondered if that had hurt him, on some level. You wince thinking about it.
"Uh, Hello…. Son. I… don't know if you're comfortable with that, considering the adoption and all-" You start, but he waves you off.
"Don't worry about it. Dad is a down-to-earth type of guy, he won't get his boxers in a twist." Herb assured, chuckling. That relieved you, at least a little.
"Right… So, what brings you here?" You ask. You wouldn't be surprised or in any way offended if he just came for some money and made his leave. It was the least you could do for him.
Herb, for his part, looks ashamed and sheepish.
"...I am sorry I have to ask this, I really am, but… Powell Motors ain't doing so hot. I wasn't in my headquarters when the Wasteland formed, but losing it was a big blow. I'm sorry, pops, it's just… this company is my pride and joy, I built it from the ground up, I can't lose it aga- Huh?"
While Herb gave his little speech, you knowingly had signed a check and handed it to him near the end. You were polite enough to listen to his rambling (ironic), which only further fueled you to give it over.
"Oh my- Pops, I-I can't take THIS much money!" Herb sputtered in shock.
"Yes you can. I have enough money. I could wipe my butt with 100 dollar bills for sixteen weeks and not feel it at all. It's… it's the least I can do, Herb. I wasn't there for you. Let me make it up to you in this small way. Please." You practically pleaded. Herb's expression softened.
"...I was mad at you for a long time. I thought you must not have cared if you ditched me."
You look down in shame.
"But I was wrong. No deadbeat would be this remorseful and throw away this much cash even to get their kid away. Besides, my folks weren't too bad. I love them. And… maybe if we spend enough time together… I can love you too… dad."
You look up and you stare at each other.
"...I would like that, son. Tell me about your cars over some beer?"
"Damn, old man, thought you'd never ask!"
REWARD: Gained investor status in Powell Motors!
Started to connect with your son Herb! Herb won't exactly move to Springfield or anything, but he will keep in touch as often as possible.
Gained Herb as a Trait!

There may be something going on here…
THE US GOVERNMENT
Collab with Seth Manufacturing Co. On Fixing the Famine
DC: 60
??? + ??? = 42
FAILURE!
The government dropped the ball on this.
According to the Seth Co. statement, the distribution of the much needed food was brought to a halt by the government as the liaison they had been assigned caused "unrest amongst the workers and seemed to purposefully disrupt distribution plannings."
The government of course denied this, stating that their liaison had serious reason to believe that there were glaring inconsistencies in the numbers Seth Co had provided them, something about the amount of corn being delivered not matching the amount harvested, but all the public heard is that the famine would be continuing until the Feds managed to get everything sorted again.
The public is growing restless and hungry.
SPRINGFIELD
BURNS
Find a new Hideout
DC: 45
??? + ??? = 85
SUCCESS!
After the mostly successful raid you had hoped that you would manage to keep a close eye out for Burns, but he seems to have slunk away once again like the snake he is. These weeks without managing to find him have put you on edge again.
He's managed to hole up again, this time with fewer resources and allies for sure, but you know that snake in the grass has gone to ground once again and it'll be a pain to find out just where he's hiding.
Commit Robberies
DC: 55
??? + ??? = 30
FAILURE!
There was a brief spat at one of the local restaurants when a child ran into the place and demanded everyone's money, smashing a piece of glass as she entered. Some patrons panicked and ran, causing food and salad dressing to fly everywhere.
The panic seemed to possibly be the point though, as in the chaos several witnesses say that the child's face grew more relaxed as the food and condiments flew and she left the restaurant without actually taking any money.
How odd.

Stay on the Run
No DC, Higher the Better

There have been rumors going around that someone reeeeally resembling that guy on the giant dome monitor has surfaced in California. It may just be some guy who looks really similar to that smug son of a bitch, but this may just be the guy who pointed a shotgun at your son, grandson, and tried to blow up the entire damn town.
Could be a complete coincidence, maybe he's just an unlucky son of a gun who looks a lot like him, but maybe that should be looked into. After all, you'd have some payback to give, you and everyone else in town.
Action unlocked to Investigate the possible EPA agent.
THE YAKUZA
Attack Other Gangs
No DC, the Higher the Better
44
The Finale told you of a group of five men that were trying to set themselves up in the "criminal underground" of Springfield, claiming to be the members of a large yakuza family. They had gathered some weapons and were attempting to muscle in on the territory of some of the other street level crime, without much success.
SPYMASTER INTERRUPT
Your spymaster told you he had also managed to capture one of these members and "had a good chat" with the man. Supposedly they are from a larger yakuza family from overseas that had gained an interest in taking over the underground here in Springfield and were planning on sending reinforcements over to help them with the task.
They had supposedly launched these attacks on other territories to try and look, in his words "less incompetent" so that the fixer coming over would be less inclined to take their fingers when he arrived.
The Finale thanked the man for his information and promised him a nice safe jail cell where he could keep all of his fingers as long as he was good and delivered him to The Springfield Penitentiary.

You had to admit, there were many things you expected to never run into again in your life as you went to relax in your new favorite chair.
Your wayward, Car Manufacturing son wasn't at the top of the list, but he was pretty high on it.
"Hey, pops." Herb Powell nodded along, politely but with a clear sense of awkward tension. You couldn't blame him. Even when Homer and him met twice, you made no effort to share two words with the guy. In hindsight, you wondered if that had hurt him, on some level. You wince thinking about it.
"Uh, Hello…. Son. I… don't know if you're comfortable with that, considering the adoption and all-" You start, but he waves you off.
"Don't worry about it. Dad is a down-to-earth type of guy, he won't get his boxers in a twist." Herb assured, chuckling. That relieved you, at least a little.
"Right… So, what brings you here?" You ask. You wouldn't be surprised or in any way offended if he just came for some money and made his leave. It was the least you could do for him.
Herb, for his part, looks ashamed and sheepish.
"...I am sorry I have to ask this, I really am, but… Powell Motors ain't doing so hot. I wasn't in my headquarters when the Wasteland formed, but losing it was a big blow. I'm sorry, pops, it's just… this company is my pride and joy, I built it from the ground up, I can't lose it aga- Huh?"
While Herb gave his little speech, you knowingly had signed a check and handed it to him near the end. You were polite enough to listen to his rambling (ironic), which only further fueled you to give it over.
"Oh my- Pops, I-I can't take THIS much money!" Herb sputtered in shock.
"Yes you can. I have enough money. I could wipe my butt with 100 dollar bills for sixteen weeks and not feel it at all. It's… it's the least I can do, Herb. I wasn't there for you. Let me make it up to you in this small way. Please." You practically pleaded. Herb's expression softened.
"...I was mad at you for a long time. I thought you must not have cared if you ditched me."
You look down in shame.
"But I was wrong. No deadbeat would be this remorseful and throw away this much cash even to get their kid away. Besides, my folks weren't too bad. I love them. And… maybe if we spend enough time together… I can love you too… dad."
You look up and you stare at each other.
"...I would like that, son. Tell me about your cars over some beer?"
"Damn, old man, thought you'd never ask!"
REWARD: Gained investor status in Powell Motors!
Started to connect with your son Herb! Herb won't exactly move to Springfield or anything, but he will keep in touch as often as possible.
Gained Herb as a Trait!
Herb Powell: +5 to all Rolls involving the motor vehicle industry.

Welp time for Lemon farms. The Government and Seths want's to flub things then it's time for us to provide as much Lemon drops, Lemonade, Lemon cake and Lemon meringue pie as we can. And make fat stacks of cash while doing so.
Herb I cannot express enough how grateful you came to us with your problems.
HE SAVED US AN ACTION EVERYBODY!!!

- Nice try
We have another opportunity to benefit from Lemon Farms!
Serious we need to build them this turn to take advantage of this failure and we probably not goign get another opportunity like this.
Oh hello Russel we're going to have a long conversation once we get you
Hurray for mass famine!!! 🎉

Who we sending to California? Finale or Mona?
Well narratively Mona make sense but probably the final instead since Mona bonus for finding burns since we need to find him again.

Always nice to see when a racist PoS is catching flak for their garbage and failing to do damage control - might give us an opening for some anti-BW stuff like giving asylum to Preds some time in the near future while she´s busy not dying...
...seems like Leviathan is finally regaining its footing a bit - bummer...
How bad is those Frobots appearing on our turf moving forward, guys?
The Doofster continues doing well on Social Media - maybe at least indirectly thanks to that insanely successful collab with us
...let a man dream, please?^^
...looks like Heinz created "Wummer" (basically an inverse of Swinter from the show^^) for "his" people - good on him, although personally I with my aversion to summer would *hate* that happening irl
...okay, *Alice* somehow being able to secure a military contract with the Army is a bit weird, but nevertheless that allows Syndrome to come back a bit from both Mr. Bakers shaming of him as well as his failure to protect the SRA.
*I hate it*, thanks^^
...buuuut at least he´s having less luck in....*doing whatever the fuck he´s trying to do there*
So he´s getting shat on at least a little this turn, which make me happy^^
So, Shego´s been getting mixed results in fighting her two "main rivals". On one hand, her giving Buddy a bit of a bloody nose is always welcome because I just loathe guys like him. Her failing to smear shit on Doof on the other hand...honestly, I´d prefer those two to figuratively "kiss and make up" as the saying goes, but eh - can´t be helped, I guess...
-groans-
While GG getting kicked in the kilt is always nice, *did it have to come from that jumped-up, megolomaniacal chess bot?*
Oh well - you win some, you lose some...
Agreed - the FEds and Toffee failing to address the famine is a prime opportunity for Old Abe to jump to the rescue and remind the downtrodden people of these fine States that Neighbourliness and Kindness have always helped us in dire straits - just like in the Good Old Days...
ewwwwww....
Can that old fossil do us a solid and *Finally kick the bucket already*?
No?
Oh well, more "us actively pushing his shit in*, I guess...
Yeah, definitely Finale as long as we need Mona on anti-Burn duty
Aside from sending our Spymaster to knock a few Californians´ heads together for snooping around our turf, we might wanna intensify our moves to rebuild FTs *famiglia* to contest anyone trying their luck, guys.
But yeah, *thanks for the Interrupt, Finale*
....huh....
Francine would probably be recognized and detained by our forces and Lena´s accounted for - so which youngster is committing petty larceny of food (...damn, do I prefer the German name for it - "Mundraub" pretty much translates to "stealing from out someone´s mouth" and is simply snappier, you know?)
- I SEE YOU, CARGILL -
Damn, I really want to put some heat on him if it´s really Cargill - could give us some goodwill with Springfield -, but our two Intrigue slots might be taken by "shit on Burns" and "snoop around California"...any hopes of this one being viable for either Quimbying our Jaspering?
Woooo!
We got an in into Powell Motors without having to invest a Stew slot - that´s *Vergy good news*
...Fallout-style fusion-powered cars *When*?

Question:
Does our RER roll negate/overrule this option or will it remain aviable next turn, so that we still may gain the boons listed (more dosh; some car knowledge)?
Just spitballing a bit, pal...
