Hi! After I finished 1 case today, a guy named Larry the Toe told me where I can find Big Lucy's Cabaret. For a fee of course. $500.

And I handed my money over to him just like that where it "disappeared into his pockets..."

What have I done? And what is Big Lucy's Cabaret?

He told me I can find this place near the docks tonight. With "tonight" does he mean tonight server time or was that just a figure of speech?

Thankyouthankyou!

How do I find Big Lucy? Who is Larry the Toe?
Big Lucy's Cabaret is a famous night spot that takes some work to find. Lucy keeps the Cabaret on the move, and it never appears visibly on the map. Larry the Toe, a local "entrepreneur" can help you find the Cabaret's current location, for the right price. When Larry tells you the location, be sure to go visit the Cabaret before starting another case. When you start a case, the Cabaret location will move and you will not be able to find it again without Larry's help.

Basically, Big Lucy has equipment, another goodie and may be needed as a "favor" in a Treasure Hunt.

It's not usually recommended for newbies to visit her as she will probably be a waste a money as her equipment is expensive.

Her location will not actually show up as a icon rather the mouse icon will change to a hand icon when you move it around the spot Larry told you.

Some whatever they are called such as Firefox will show the location if you alt ctrl all. -Ran? You know more about this.. I use Internet Explorer and it doesn't work like that.

I haven't had that work with Firefox. And I'm fairly sure my version is up to date.

Aug-13-2007 23:04

For Internet Explorer if you press CTRL and A everything you can click will highlight for you...

Up to date? Really? Did you checkitty-check it's calendar? I did. And I just kinda feel like reminding you it has a lunch date with some guy who painted sets for 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off', back in the late eighties. The reservation is under 'Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago'. Case you were wondering :P

I have no idea if I have the most up-to-date version of firefox. But I use it, and what works for me is just clicking ANYWHERE on the map that is not a readily available location. Gives me more blue boxes than a generous and slightly drunken garbage man on recycling day.

Ugh. When I didn't find it I assumed I had just been taken and just started a new case. -_-

Of course I'm not a newbie but while I was away my neighbour's dog helped himself to part of my frontal lobe. Thats my excuse for memory lapse and I'm sticking to it.

Problem: Next clue in nemesis hunt requires me to meet with Big Lucy.

Question: I know about control+A but do I have to meet with Larry first?

Yes, Larry comes first. Did you think it would be that easy ;-)
