at the end of this Villain Hunt. The darn thing so far has cost me through the nose. Shady charged like a wounded bull just for 2 little FA's and the bribes I have to hand over.

And repayment???? $1000 items that any other time would sell for $4800!!!! I think they know I'm desperate and will take any amount they offer and pay whatever they want! Darn Townies!!!!

Hang in there Lolita, there are only 4 cities to go through, unfortunately all the townies are greedy..haha

As far as those FAs go..never, never guess!!! It's always best to quit when you are not sure. There's no shame in that, we all quit cases at some time or other :))))

I just remembered why I started this Hunt in the first place. It's not about the cash. I just wanna get my name in the paper!! Mwahahaha.

And yep turtledove. I'm not giving up yet. 2 down and 2 to go! The FA's were out of frustration. When you have to quit so many cases in a row because you don't have the contacts (or maybe my brain just wasn't working at the time LOL) it gets really frustrating so you just wanna solve one case... just one case... and then you FA!!

Yup Lolita...all it takes is one...then you get the itch that you have to solve no matter what. I hope you got them cleared though :)

Apr-16-2009 17:27

Yeah I got them cleared. Cost me loads and loads and loads more though! Lesson learned..... Shady is a greedy so and so and I never want to see him again and if he pops up in one of my cases on the street I'm gonna kick him in the shins! LOL

OOOHHH shady better be scared :D

Memo to self: Keep shins away from Lolita.

Well back in the day I would have punched him in the nose but I became a Grandma recently so I think I should act with some grandmotherly conduct. Thank my lucky stars I'm not old enough to need a walking stick yet. But....beating Shady about the head with my cane sounds like..........

*note to self: You are a grandma and should act your age. (the little voice in my head whines "Awwww but I'm not even 40 yet!")

Well congrats Lolita on your first villain captured!

Thanks so much TK! Did you see my pretty new dress? I love it. I keep doing those twirly whirls so the skirt flares out. It is so wonderful. Much better than that Possum Bomber Jacket I had on for a while. And my dress even covers my legs so my knickers aren't showing.

*scratches head and wonders why there are no pants or skirts in this game!

Anyhoo. I'm back at HQ pinching stuff from the agency to boost me on my way to the Final City! Woot! But I need to save up loads more money too. My first VH nearly sent me broke! Darn Shady! Where are those sturdy boots. And you better not warn Shady to put on shin-guards either! Mwahahaha!

Congrats Lolita! :-) Well done.
