Well, I've been stood here for hours now. I have a removal van full of towels and everything. My welcome mat just says "WE + PE <> guilty." That one has caught me out a few times before.

*calls Harrod's to postpone the delivery of her new linens, drapes, and martini glasses*

What I want to know is who is going to pay my hotel bill at the Oasis if I don't get moved in tonight? Pierre is not immune to my vast and varied charms, but so far I've only been able to coax a 40% discount out of him. Honestly, it's absurd what a girl's got to put up with around here.

Did I say 27th?

We've still got a little work to do on the apartments, so they're not going to be available today. The original idea has expanded a bit, so hopefully you'll enjoy them once launched.

The (now) official launch date is the 29th at noon. Our apologies on the delay.

Since we weren't able to launch today, I'll give you a few more details:

1) You can only own one apartment. The apartments range from small one room units, to spacious 4 room penthouses.

2) Apartments will be expensive to purchase and furnish, but you do not have to pay a recurring rent, as with agency offices.

3) Fit each room with furniture and decorative items.

4) Furniture serves different purposes. Some examples: You can store items in dressers, chat with friends on a sofa set, and store case files in a desk.

5) The more valuable the contents of your room, the nicer it will look.

6) Invite friends to be your guests. Guests may enter your apartment, look around and use your furniture. They cannot access stored items or case files.

At least we have a few more days to stow away money to purchase an apartment.

Ooh, did you say expensive? Oh dear.

Ok, while I'm here: Pink fluffy towels, $8 each o.n.o. Only 42 available, get them while they're clean!

"You can only own one apartment" - for clarification, does this mean a detective can only have one apartment, to be located in one city of his/her choice? Or does it "move" with you? :)

Damn, does this mean there will be no Martha Stewart Living collection of cheap items available at KMart that you can PRETEND are nice?

And further, if I furnish it expensively, will I still be white trash in real life? ;)

Also, can one upgrade to a better apartment later on, or is your purchase final?

Don't even trip Biggie, I will invite you to my project and we'll sit together and drink boxed wine out of old Slurpee cups. And I'll fix us some fried baloney sandwiches. With government cheese.
