In this post;
• Intro: Communion Chameleon
• Prize Track: Camouflaged Intentions parts 1 to 5
Intro: Communion Chameleon
Ned: Helen, did you know that Springfield Desert Park has a new attraction called “The Devil’s Oasis”? Doesn’t that just burn your bottom?
Helen Lovejoy: This godless city has already given Lucifer an Anvil and a Deluge. But please don’t mention my bottom in church.
Lovejoy: I agree. And I would also suggest that we not have this conversation in the middle of my Sunday sermon.
Lisa: A new attraction in Springfield Desert Park? I have to see what that’s about! *pulls out her myPhone*
Homer: Hey! How come it’s okay for Lisa to look at her phone in church, but I can’t play Donut Crush on mine?
Marge: It’s not okay for Lisa to use her phone in church! But at least she doesn’t try to lick the screen.
• Make Churchy Joes Grumble About Satanic Naming Conventions – x 3, 6 seconds
• Make Lisa Google the Devil’s Oasis – 6 seconds
• Make Homer Go Through Tapping Withdrawal – 6 seconds
• Make Marge Grumble at Her Family – 6 seconds
Lisa: They’ve discovered a rare breed of desert chameleon in the Devil’s Oasis. That would be perfect for my science fair project!
Lisa: Sorry, Mom! I didn’t mean to talk so loud in church.
Marge: Honey, it’s after church and we’re at Krusty Burger now.
Lisa: We are?
Homer: Yes, and we ordered you some Krusty Nuggets.
Lisa: What are Krusty Nuggets made of?
Homer: I’m not sure. That would require some investigating.
Bart: I have my science fair project!
Lisa: *annoyed grumble*
Prize Track: Camouflaged Intentions parts 1 to 5
Camouflaged Intentions part 1:
● Desert Tree (Decoration)
Lisa: Maggie, I’m never going to convince the rest of the family to go see the Devil’s Oasis!
Maggie: *takes a step, then face plants*
Lisa: I get it: “One step at a time.” Good idea. I’ll start with Mom.
Lisa: Hey Mom, wouldn’t it be great if we took a family vacation?
Marge: It would!
Lisa: Where could we go? Hmmm…I know! Springfield Desert State Park.
Marge: The desert? Why can’t it be a tropical island?
Lisa: Because Dad will insist on driving.
Marge: Don’t be silly. He won’t want to do something that stupid. Again.
• Collect Tumbleweeds – x 60 
• Capture Chameleons ( tap Chameleon NPCs ) – x 5
• Make Lisa Defend Deserts as Good Vacation Spots – 4 hours
• Make Marge Wish She Could Go on a Normal Vacation – 4 hours
Marge: A trip to the desert? I don’t know. Maggie, do you want to go to the desert?
Maggie: *takes a step, then face plants*
Marge: I get it: You can’t succeed unless you try. Okay, Lisa, as far as I’m concerned, we can go to Springfield Desert Park.
Lisa: Yes! One down, two to go.
Camouflaged Intentions part 2:
● Oil Well (Decoration)
Lisa: Hey, Bart. I know you’re going to object, but it’s really important that—
Bart: Let me stop you right there. Devil’s Oasis? I’m in.
Lisa: You’re in? But I had a whole heartfelt speech prepared.
Bart: Maggie, did you hear the speech?
Maggie: *takes a step, then face plants*
Bart: She fell flat on her face, huh?
Lisa: I prefer to interpret that action as meaning that my speech knocked her out.
Bart: Yeah well, terrible speech or not, I’d be in anyway. Stuff is named after the Devil for only two reasons: it’s either incredibly lame or incredibly awesome.
Bart: And I’m willing to take the risk.

Maggie: *takes a step, then face plants*
Lisa: You’re right. He may be fall-down drunk.
Homer: *pushes a recliner into the room* I fixed my recliner!
Lisa: No, you didn’t. That’s Ned Flanders’ recliner!
Homer: Stupid Flanders will never figure it out. And now I never have to leave the house. Or this room. Or this chair.
Ned: *knocks on door* Homer, do you know anything about these tracks across our front lawns that go from my missing recliner to your front door?
Homer: Stupid Flanders figured it out! D’oh!
Ned: I know you’re in there, Homer, I can hear your annoyed grunting.
Homer: Lisa, you gotta get me out of here!

Bart: Don’t worry about it, Lis, that thing fell off when we backed out of the garage.

Camouflaged Intentions part 4:
● Springfield Desert State Park Sign (Decoration)
Marge: My, that is a lot of sand. I haven’t seen a sign of civilization for miles.
Bart: It’s like we drove into a giant hourglass. Filled with sand.
Lisa: I have to admit, even I’m losing my enthusiasm for this plan. And Dad hasn’t done anything crazy yet.

Bart: Hold that threat, Mom! Look up ahead!
Lisa: It’s a sign!
Homer: Like a sign from God? Oh man, I was really hoping Ned was wrong about everything.
Lisa: No, it’s an actual sign! We’ve arrived at Springfield Desert Park finally.
Homer: You see, Marge. Surely not even you will complain about a few celebratory donuts now.
Marge: Oh yes, I will! Now park the car!
Homer: I’ll park here. *hard left turn* No, I think I’ll park here. *hard left turn* No, here. *hard left turn*
Marge: STOP DOING DONUTS!!!

Homer: …
Marge: …
Maggie: …
Bart: …
Lisa: But that’s just a hole in the ground…that’s on fire.
Desert Park Ranger: Yes. Some miners accidentally set a coal vein on fire. On the plus side, it should burn out in another 240 years or so.
Marge: Oh, honey, I’m sorry this isn’t what you wanted.

Homer: Fine. I’m sure Flanders has bought a new recliner by now anyway. *tries to start the car*
Homer: Uh, heh, one second. *tries to start the car again*
Marge: What’s wrong with the car?
Bart: I’m no mechanic, but I’ve watched enough prank videos to know what sand in a car’s radiator sounds like. And it sounds like that.
Homer: Heh heh. Maybe all those sand donuts might not have been such a good idea after all…
That wraps up Act 1, back when it’s time for Act 2.
