Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
The circus has arrived in Springfield! Well…three of them have arrived! Looking for a freak show? The Burnsum and Bailey Circus is here! Traditional circus? Ding-A-Ling Bros at your service! Feeling fancy? Then Cirque de Puree is for you. But which one will rein supreme? It’s up to you to find out in the latest event in TSTO…Cirque du Springfield!
As always, 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…
Remember, this Act will still be playable until the event ends on March 16th. However, Act 2 will start on February 27th (note the Sunday start date)

Burnsum: I didn’t force you out. I tried to kill you! You cheated death and I hate cheaters.
Lisa: To me, it seems like Bailey wasn’t willing to compromise his integrity for profit. I applaud that.
Ding A Ling Ringmaster: Thank you. You see, Burnsum, even the eight-year-old can spot a phony.
Burnsum: To heck with your integrity. Why shouldn’t I profit by making people feel better about themselves by gawking at freaks.
Bart: I gotta say, Lis’, I’m with Burnsum on this one. Nothing beats a good freak show.
Burnsum: Ha! There you have it, Bailey. Even the little orphan boy can see the magic I bring.
Bart: I’m not an orphan. I have a mom and sort of a dad.
Homer: Eh, that’s fair.
This triggers the Act 2 questline, A Run for Their Funny and is followed by 4hr tasks for Bart and Lisa, as well as a task to collect Act 2 Currency (115). A Run for Their Funny is the questline that will take you through unlocking all of this Act’s prizes.
Let’s take a look at what else is in store during Act 2…
