As far as I can tell orphan conditions do not get worse, as in I don't think they will die, if you log out or neglect them. I am uncertain if the orphans will disappear after the event ends. The names seem to be generated randomly and are not assigned to a specific orphan type. There are twelve different orphan types.
All of the orphan items you need can be bought at The Ole Fishing Hole - Link
Remember: Orphans change their minds about what they want frequently, so if you're trying to help one you need to be speedy.
Orphan Items and Corresponding Quotes
Lung Brush
"Oh great - now my lungs hurt and its hard to breathe. What a great way to start the holidays *sigh*"
"Geeez... my lungs hurt. Must have been all that soot I ate for breakfast this morning."
"*wheeze* I... can... barely... talk... ... lungs... on... fire... *wheeze*"
"*Cough* So sorry for my *cough* constant... *cough* coughing..."
"*hack* *cough* Owie, I'm having a hard time breathing. It feels like Mr. Raccoon is sitting on my chest again."
"My lungs hurt so much I want to just rip them out and give them a good scrubbing!"
Burlap Sack
"I saw the burlap sack advertisement in the paper. They sure look fun. *nudge* *nudge*"
"I had burlap sack once, it was glorious. All itchy and warm like my asbestos underwear. Oh to live those days again..."
Carpet Swatch
"Santa's sleigh doesn't look big enough to carry carpet. I doubt he has space to deliver something like that. I guess its another year on the concrete."
"We've never had carpets in the orphanage, I bet we would just ruin it anyways. I doubt carpet would cheer me up *sigh*"
"The best gift I ever got was a piece of a rug *twitch* IT WAS SO CHEW CHEW CHEWY *twitch* I hope Santa got my list..."
"How dare I ask for a carpet sample when I can offer you nothing in return except my heartfelt gratitude? I'm such a greedy little monster."
"We once had a rug, but Mr. Raccoon decided it'd be his bathroom. I wish I had a rug to play on... even just a little..."
Hoop and Stick
"The Hoop and Stick looks fun, but I'd probably get scratched, then the scratch would get infected, then I'd die."
"I've seen other kids playing with a Hoop and Stick. I bet their parents bought it for them... I wish I had parents to buy me a Hoop and Stick *sigh*"
"If you've never chased a rusty hoop down a cobblestone street with a stick, you've never truly lived. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is. They're the most perfect toy ever."
"The ancient greeks called it "trochos", but no one knows what that is when I ask for one, so now I just say "hoop and stick" instead."
"If I had a hoop and stick, I'd pretty much consider myself the richest person who ever lived."
"I could use the stick from the hoop and stick as a pointer for when we play school!"
"*twitch* HOOPA HOOPA HOOPA *twitch* I want a "hoop and stick" to munch on. GIVE IT OR ELSE! GRAH!"
Cup-N-Ball
"Just once, I'd like a toy that wasn't made out of garbage."
"The cup and ball represents the ultimate pinnacle of all human endeavor. I can't believe they don't cost like a million dollars. If you get me one, I promise to never put it down as long as I live."
"What's the point of putting the ball into the cup? Its just going to come out when you tip the cup. Still... it looks fun for some stupid reason."
"The other kids at the orphanage never let me play with the cup and ball... they said I might hurt myself... bunch of jerks"
Dr. Fantod's Sleepytime Elixir
"*sigh* What's the point of sleeping? I'll just wake up again. If only I had some way to fall asleep without thinking about it"
"Look at it this way: the longer you stay up, the more awesome it is when you finally get to sleep. I'm building up to one heck of a sleep jackpot right now."
"Sure, sleep is nice and everything, but staying awake for two weeks at a time is kind of cool too! The hallucinations can be a real laugh."
Dr. Blotto's Warmup Cure
"*shiver* I'm s-so cold y-you can't see m-me twitching. *shiver* I THINK I NEED HELP! GRAH!"
"I-I'm s-s-so c-c-cold!"
"*shiver* I am not just cold, I am shivering with style."
"*shiver* I don't like to think of myself as freezing to death so much as... becoming a still-life."
"I'm freezing my little orphan fingers off... well, the ones I have left anyway."
"Brrrrrrr! I feel like a snowman!"
"It makes my liver hurt, but Dr. Blotto's Warmup Tonic will make my cold feel better."
"Ah... ah... ah... achooooooooooo! Help, I have acute viral nasopharyngitis. I need something to warm me up!"
Dr. Thorpe's Bone Tonic
"My bones are brittle and weak... but I like to think of myself as more soft and huggable because of it."
"Pardon me for disturbing you, but could you possibly spare a bit of tonic? My femurs are so frightfully spongy..."
Bucket O' Fish Heads
"*gag* I think I'm going to... *gag* No, I'm good... wait... *gag* Ugh... I need some fish to hold down last night's gruel."
"Sometimes we'll fish out of the sewer, but all we ever catch is nausea. I've always wanted to try fish."
"I've never had seafood before... unless you count lake boots. I wonder what it's like?"
Powdered Gruel Mix
"I was wrong to defend myself when Mr. Raccoon wanted my gruel. I'm still hungry for some."
"I wonder what would happen if I put poison in the gruel... I have the poison now all I need is some gruel..."
"My constant demands must be such a financial hardship for you... I'll try to curb my hunger pangs instead of pestering you for gruel..."
"*twitch* Hey, I'm getting pretty hungry over here. LISTEN TO ME, YOU! GRAH! *twitch* Sorry. I just haven't had any gruel in so long."
"You know, call me crazy, but gruel is hands-down my favorite food in the world. Sure, I've only tried four different foods in my life, but I don't think anything will ever beat gruel. I sure could use some gruel!"
"You'd be a FOOL if you didn't love GRUEL. Get it? Do you see what I did there? Are you picking up what I'm laying down?"
"I'm so depressed I don't think I can eat... the only thing I've ever liked was gruel, but I think we ran out of that last week..."
"My teeth hurt from biting everything *twitch* CHOMP CHOMP CHOMPITTY *twitch* I think I need to eat something non-solid..."
Boruff's Ratmeal
"Even if I were a millionaire, I'd still eat ratmeal every day. I'd fill a swimming pool with it and just dive in! mmm!"
"Mr. Raccoon is my friend. He sometimes brings us yummy rats! I've got such a craving for them..."
"Did you know Ratt had a hit single in 1984 called "Round and Round"!? I love that band, they remind me of my favorite food..."
"I'm craving some delicious rat meats! Didja know that the ancient Romans called rats Mus Maximus? Didja? Didja? Didja?"
"We had meat in the orphanage the same day my rat friends disappeared. Mmm, I could sure go for a feast like that again!"
"I'm starving... usually. Mmm, some meat would be nice..."
"Did you know that every ounce of ratmeal contains components from over 200 rats? Yow! If that doesn't impress you, nothing can!"
Glomco Industrial Hardtack
"I bet you didn't know that hardtack is called "molar breakers"! I know from personal experience that its true!"
"DID YOU KNOW HARDTACK WAS INVENTED IN 1801?!?! I DID! I think the hardtack we have at Shabby Meadows is from the original batch."
"*crunch crunch* I'm just a'chewin' on my hand. *twitch* I NEED TO CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH SOMETHING *twitch* Little help?"
"Ms. Cooper said I should stop chewin' on things... *twitch* I ONLY BIT HER ONCE *twitch* I just need something crunchy..."
"Sometimes I just feel like chewing on a rock..."
