> [@Fair\_Rarity](#): > > Death is playable with a storyline. I just unlocked him and came in to report the same. On another note, I found the wise guy in my town and moved the Bad Dream House near him(that seemed easier and faster than waiting for him to wander by). I am now enjoying a spooky light show. ---

Is the forest cave worth 700 coins? Guess I don’t have much of a choice but to get it to upgrade and for the mag points. But it seems like a lot. ---

I’m kind of stuck at my construction yard at this point. I’m on level 13 so I can’t make everything past the spooky tree but I can’t get MAG points without constructing stuff. I already have the morticians wagon, spooky tree, and all that other stuff so I’m not excited about constructing any more. ---

Is it just me, because I’m awesome, or does anyone else hear the “Itchy and Scratchy” theme song when you go to assign people for the giant monster fights? Fight fight fight fight fight fight [the Itchy and Scratchy show](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkUICz-LHjQ) ---

So Ea decided to log me out and now the site isn’t responding. I’ll be annoyed if I end up missing Death because of that. ---

Anyone need neighbor visits? Death is mine and I’ve gotten two rounds of bonuts. ---

I’m having such a hard time. My phone is being a dick and EA is being a dick and both together are some sort of evil incarnate hybrid. I can play on my other device and ea will hopefully patch things up properly tomorrow but I’m having the worst go of it today. ---

Thankfully I haven’t had any device or ea problems like last event, and I hope it stays that way. I kind of want the shinning hotel/maze bundle but I’m five donuts short. The deal goes away in one day eight hours. It’s going to be close. I think I have find Maggie #3, so with a round of bonuts I will be ok. ---
