Cue explosion in 3... 2... 1...

And the crossover has happened!

Huzzah to us all who saw this coming! XD

Look at the first post of the last thread. I asked if that was the video game store Sandra was at.

Annnnnd.......catfight. GO!

So Gary and Sandra officially meet at last. Of course, first there'll be the inevitable explosion between Sandra and Senna, since this is probably their first meeting since Sandra's mocking email to her.

Look at the first post of the last thread. I asked if that was the video game store Sandra was at.

Damn, my bad.

Now it bodes an interesting question - are they all staying in Gary and Senna's hotel room and who is the one who sets it up? (I'm assuming Gary is the culprit behind this - noticing Sandra's purchase and offering to assist her in its mechanics - and Senna begrudgingly agrees to the arrangement to keep an eye on things/keep a firm latch on Gary).

The whole greeting Gary naked when she claimed to be dressed makes so much more sense now - it's Senna's way of claiming Gary as her own in front of the 'competition'.

Interesting question Fluffy but I'm going to take it one step further and predict that Domenico returns and Senna drops Gary like a hot a potato and pursues Domenico instead but then Gary and Sandra hook up for a little while anyway until Gary has to return to Montreal because he still has a job and apartment there.

[Fluffy]

Sandra and Gary bonding over video games...that actually sounds quite endearing.

If they don't hook up at some point, I would think it would be awesome if they became best buds. (though imagine the tension that would happen if they did hook up. If Sandra were to visit Montreal as Gary's girlfriend, would Didi give up her quest to bed Gary out of respect for her friendship with Sandra; or would her obsession with having an orgasm override her loyalty to her only real platonic female friend?)

[themacnut]

From the last few times we saw DiDi in the comic, it seems to me her quest/obsession with getting an orgasm has been short-circuited by Zii's clear willingness to satisfy that quest. If DiDi were still obssessing, Zii would've been in bed with her that next day. At the very least, DiDi did not seem at all enthused about having Zii give her that orgasm.

It seems themacnut beat me to the punch regarding Didi in that she already has a lot on her plate after finding out her roommate and friend Zii has been wanting to bed her badly this whole time. But then again Didi did go after Matt anyway after her experimental relationship with Sandra failed. But this all hinges on how Gary interacts with Senna and Sandra. If Senna does indeed drop Gary then he might end up with Sandra anyway. You have to remember that Gary was dumped by Kiley but then ended up with Yuki then he was dumped by Yuki then ended up with Sonya and then she dumped him but now he's with Senna and has now met Sandra. I'm starting to see a pattern here...

Okay, nothing unpredicted here. Poor Senna, being forced into a maternal role, of all things - something for which she's not psychologically equipped. If she was, she'd know that once you let the brat into the toy shop, promises of "just one minute" will mean absolutely bloody zero.

From the last few times we saw DiDi in the comic, it seems to me her quest/obsession with getting an orgasm has been short-circuited by Zii's clear willingness to satisfy that quest. If DiDi were still obssessing, Zii would've been in bed with her that next day. At the very least, DiDi did not seem at all enthused about having Zii give her that orgasm.

I got the impression that DiDi was quite scared by the intensity of Zii's passion towards her - especially as DiDi is evidently still not clear in her own mind about how bisexual she is, despite Peggy's best efforts. Note her 'phone conversation with Sandra - she was clearly trying to get her head straight there. (Another task for which the character in question is unequipped.) It seems that, so far as DiDi is concerned, what happens when you're blind drunk stays when you're blind drunk. Whereas the effect of alcohol in the Ma3 universe seems to be purely to remove inhibitions on existing inclinations.

Whether DiDi will revert to her orgasm quest if and when she gets Gary back within reach and Zii at a relatively safe distance remains to be seen. I dunno. Probably, I'd guess - all the cast have goldfish memories, and DiDi is one of the more vacuous cases.

Anyhow, as to this and upcoming scenes; given that Sandra's last known communication with Senna was that taunt, and that Senna recently claimed that Sandra must have used bruxaria against her, we should expect an explosion. But we know that they'll be on speakers quite soon. The idea of Gary acting as an effective peacemaker between these two women boggles my mind, but that does seem to be the strong implication right now.

And what will Gary be doing for Sandra? Showing her how to use that Wii is an obvious guess, but if it's as trivial as that, Senna's gratuitous show of nudity would seem wildly excessive, even for her, even as a way of marking her territory. Also, we know that Sandra will soon be hanging out with Gary (and presumably Senna) in her lingerie, and unless Gary has told her that it's customary to play computer games while wearing nothing but underwear, that doesn't seem to fit either.

So my bet is still on some kind of Gary artwork thing. Gary gets asked to depict Sandra as Carmen, which on available evidence means minimal costumes; Senna decides that if he's going to be staring at that sinister temptress in her scanties, he'd better be reminded of some counter-temptations. Cue #750 and #762.

What a lucky bastard, having to draw an almost naked lady while his naked girlfriend his near him, after having drawn his previous girlfriend playing drums naked (that one was so erotic).
If Gary ever talks about it in his job, you can be sure his playboy fame will be cemented. It already sounds like kinky artist stuff to my ears.

[Spidrift]

Gary, the man who shares an apartment with two extrovert women with shaky nudity taboos, gets jumped by two other highly attractive women inside a month or so, has a walking fanboy fantasy willing to put herself through emotionally traumatic therapy just for a chance to be near him, and finds himself pursued for sex by porn stars and lingerie models.

I'm not quite sure where that "poor Gary" idea ever came from in the first place. The whole story of his life in this comic is basically an extended male fantasy.

Huzzah to us all who saw this coming! XD

Lord knows I didn't. I just had one of those "oh riiiight!" moments when I saw the last panel.
