Love, Springfieldian Style: Week 2 Questline Rome-Eh & Julie-Aye

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Love is in the air friends!  Yes, Valentine’s Day is back in our pocket-sized towns!  And this time around things are going to be done, Springfieldian Style.

Love, Springfieldian Style follows the same event structure that the Simpsons Christmas Special event followed.  This event consists of 4 parts (or Acts), with each part lasting a week and taking us through a new part of the event!

For Act 2 we’re tasked with following Willie’s Valentine’s Tale…and a tragic love story/battle with his nemesis Groundskeeper Wilma!  Willie is the narrator for this tale, so let’ take a look at what he has to say…

Here’s the story’s synopsis:

Willie thinks he has a better story to tell – about two groundskeepers working at the same school. The school needs to fire one of them, so it hosts a competition to determine who to keep. Wilma and Willie are tied in the competition all the way through, until it really ends in a tie. Wilma suggests they drink poison to determine the winner. It kills neither of them, and Skinner offers to keep them both at half pay. The thought of a pay cut makes them both quit. 

Now, on with the story!

Where ever you see the story italicized indicates the story that Willie is telling.  The regular font indicates real-time Springfield

Autostarts

Willie: I was living the life of a successful groundskeeper, sleeping in a shack and eating rock-hard tater tots. But so was Wilma, my colleague and rival.
Skinner: Willie and Wilma, I’m afraid the school needs to make even more cuts than usual, and we can only keep one of you. To decide, we’re going to do it the same way we chose which librarian to keep: a brutal, winner-take-all physical contest.

Groundskeeper Wilma: No winner?! I can’t live like this. I’ve got to go be the best at another school.
Willie: Farewell, Wilma. I’ve never met a tougher or more beautiful competitor.
