Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s update time in Springfield! And after 8 years of TSTO, we’re finally tackling Black History Month! No time like the present for EA, huh? What’s in store for us this time? Well, we’re tasked with finding out the history of Dr. Hibbert, Carl, Lou, and the Simpson Family! Loads of dialogue with this one, so be sure to read along to see what happens! And of course, I’ll be posting it as each week wraps up.
Black History Month (Heroes of Springfield) follows the same event structure of the Multi-Events before it. This event consists of 4 parts (or Acts), with each part lasting a week and taking us through a new part of the event!
With Act 4, one new premium character was introduced. In addition to helping with event currency, Mabel comes with her own, short, individual questline, so let’s take a look at the full dialogue questline now…
Dinner for Two Pt. 1
Mabel starts
Mabel Simpson: Virgil, let’s make a wager.
Virgil Simpson: Alright, whatcha got?
Mabel Simpson: If you can beat me at games of my choosing then I’ll cook dinner, but if I win you make us some of your famous wheel cakes.

Dinner for Two Pt. 3

Dinner for Two Pt. 4
Virgil starts
Virgil Simpson: That was fun, we should do stuff like that more often.
Mabel Simpson: It’s not over yet. We have two more games to play.

Dinner for Two Pt. 5
Mabel starts
Mabel Simpson: We need a challenge that is the ultimate tie breaker.
Virgil Simpson: I have an idea, how about something easy…
Mabel Simpson: I got it! We’ll race to the border and back. Loser cooks up the dinner I hunted.
Virgil Simpson: Mabel, wait. I need to ask you something.
Mabel Simpson: *grabbing coat* Ask me after I beat you!
Virgil Simpson: Mabel, will you marry me? *gets on one knee*
