Ménage à 3 III: 47 Seconds Later

[Wraith]

Yep, those gullible old people sure are bad because con artists can take advantage of them.

Kato phrased the response better than I was going to - your hypothetical little old ladies weren't trying to take advantage of the con artist first. The guys in the strip were expecting Zii and Didi to be drunk and, thus, stupid and pliable; they're not innocent here.

I take offense to that. LARPing is nothing like this comic.

Please allow me to qualify my statement with this picture:

Yep, that's me. That comment wasn't meant to be deliberately insulting, it was supposed to be the (proud and unashamed!) voice of experience and I apologise unreservedly if it sounded otherwise.

[Weimann]

Yeah, honestly, this is nothing worse than the game being played. DiDi and Zii just won, GG. I see no more reason to call morality on this than on anyone else working the club scene.

Which of course you can do, but don't hate the player, hate the game.

Clever little continuity on SDB today. Gary's amber collection shows up. In exactly the same spot it was last seen.

[Kato]

Victim blaming is not a terribly healthy attitude, though, no matter how much you try to qualify it.

This is neither time nor place to discuss this but while I'm aware my thoughts on the matter aren't very kind I stand by it... once in a while a bit of common sense can prevent crimes, so to say. And no, I'm not blaming old, senile people for getting conned.

Hehe, definitely. It would result in quite an interesting case of sister bonding, I assume. But then again... who wants to see that side of their sibling?

Well, that changes things, of course. Thank you for the apology though.

That kind of puts a new spin on it, especially if you particularly participate in LARPs with a high lethality rate.


Seeing yesterday's comic... geez, those guys are very gullible and very drunk. And very bicurious.

Heh, yeah. The thing is, I still put most of the blame for this on Zii. All the guys said was, "You two are a couple? Thats hot." After zii had her face smothered in didis boobs and they acted really affectionate. Zii was the one to bring up kissing. And like the horny bastards we guys are, they bit at the lure. Sorry Zii, you are fairly cute, and of course didi is an amazon goddess, but if I want to watch two girls make out, i have an internet connection that doesnt require me to get to second base with another guy to view.

[The Glyphstone]

Zii is a terrible human being. Film at 11.

[Traab]

NO WAI!!!!! Heh, at least she seems to be a terrible human being only while drunk nowadays! Thats progress, right?

[leakingpen]

I take offense to that. LARPing is nothing like this comic.

You obviously have not gone to the right larps! ahh, the memories....

Amen!

Random aside: I usually view the comic on my smartphone, and now all I can think of is "Touch screen to begin". Go on. Touch it. That's it. Now, a little lower....

....There is something hideously wrong with my brain.

Ménage à 3 IV: Casual Homewrecking.

That should be our next thread title.

[Wraith]

The parallels are impressive. Sonya is going to spend her night splitting up straight couples across town, while Zii spends her night 'reallocating' people into gay clinches.

By morning, every man in Montreal will sucking the face of another guy while hoards of frustrated and needy girls roam the streets searching for the one male too naive and/or stupid to have gotten involved: Gary.

The boneularity has begun!

I need a plain ticket to Montreal...
But aren't you forgetting the obvious solution for all these ladies...?

But honestly... as stupid as Sonya's acting, if that's all it takes to split those two up their relationship can't have been that good anyway.

[SaintRidley]

But honestly... as stupid as Sonya's acting, if that's all it takes to split those two up their relationship can't have been that good anyway.

Seriously, reread what that guy said. He thought a ridiculously drunk stranger was able to accurately assess his girlfriend's level of interest in another complete stranger. And he won't go downstairs because "it looks weird."

Honestly, it's a good thing she's breaking them up, because he's not worth it.

[Wraith]

But aren't you forgetting the obvious solution for all these ladies...?

Nope, because there are no alternatives in the Ma3 universe.

Sure, if such an abstract thing were to occur in the Real World it'd probably resemble a less amusing and somewhat more passive-aggressive version of Y: The Last Man, and no doubt the Ma3-Montreal might at some point have some of the more frustrated girls 'dabble', but there are no such things as lesbians.

Even Yuki, the closest thing to it, has her Freudian excuse, but if you're a girl then bisexuality is as far as you can go and it's just a matter of time before you're lusting after Gary.

Just a quick point about EC (since we seem to occasionally discuss the other series here)

Right now, there's only one thing that's really interesting me in the comic, but it's caught my interest hard. What is up with Melissa's dad? How is this working? Why is she doing this? Is she actually related to Melissa? The questions.

Yes! I am really curious as to what is going on there, but the story just keeps ignoring it while simultaneously continuing to bring it up. It's maddening.

(I was hoping that Tiffany would prove immune to the charm somehow, but instead it worked too well on her.)

Yeah, it is interesting and I gues we'll get there at some point... Though at the moment it's only kind of weird how we haven't seen the Delacroix' in what feels like forever. Not that I mind the supporting cast.
And... what exactly is Chloeplanning to do? Not the... obvious answer to being hungry, right?

Ma3 meanwhile continues to depict most people as more or less flawed unless their name is Eric. But Sonya seems to have given up(?)

[Pink]

Ugh, I know what you mean. What happened to the vampires that are supposed to be the main characters? Admittedly, Brook is my favourite character and therefore her relationship with Ace is relevant to my interests, but the constant crossovers are annoying! Keep the Hellrunes&company to their own spinoff instead of leaching off EC to develop that storyline.

Actually...Is there even a storyline in EC anymore? It's felt like support material for MC for too long ;-;

[Domochevsky]

Whelp, one more relationship successfully broken up. This one comes to no surprise, though.

(Fortunately no "I banged your mom, troll. Now she's breaking up with your dad." levels.)

[Weimann]

Honestly. If that's all it took, it's not on Sonya. That was happening either way.

[Pink]

Did I miss something, or is this the first it's been mentioned that Zii and Eric have an open relationship? Considering how Zii's been avoiding temptation, it seemed like it was more exclusive.

[The Glyphstone]

In the real world, maybe. This is the Ma3verse, where sexiness/sluttiness have reality-bending magic powers attached. Sonya trying to hook Eric warped the local universal relationship constant to the point where it started destabilizing otherwise healthy couples in the vicinity.

You missed that Sonya is drunk and delusional and trying to hook Eric (or at least break him up with Zii).

[Pink]

Yes, but Eric doesn't deny it, and in fact his response seems to imply that he believes them to be in an open relationship at the moment.

What healthy couples? This is the Ma3verse, everyone is horrible and no one has a healthy relationship.

[The Glyphstone]

The offscreen ones, obviously. Since we only ever see who's around our main cast, their aura has an immediate effect on anyone who we know about.

[Traab]

Well, iirc, didnt eric and zii get together via threesome with another guy? Sure that other guy is out of the picture but that doesnt imply that eric is the type to jump right to monogamy automatically. It may be a lack of opportunity before eric became enamored with zii and zii just didnt realize that she could have slept around a bit and while they wouldnt have gotten married or anything, they wouldnt have broken up either.

[Shogo]

Officially open but unofficially closed.

I THINK the idea is that Zii wants it to be exclusive but can't admit it . . . And Eric also wants it to be exclusive, but might be afraid that telling Zii this will scare her away.

As has been pointed out . . . Zii's been trying really hard to resist temptation and got pretty jealous when she mistook Eric's sister as another woman he was seeing.

[Kato]

(Fortunately no "I banged your mom, troll. Now she's breaking up with your dad." levels.)

I'm still of the opinion if she could break up a "married" couple that easily that mom couldn't have been happy either.

Isn't the thing with the foreign vampire male still kind of going on? But yeah, laetly it's been all Melissa's show.

Hm... it seems weird to me. I also can't recall them ever discussing it and if they are still open she could have vad fun with Sonya (well, except Sonya is creepy but that aside) or if she really wants to be exclusive I don't take Zii for the person who wouldn't admit it to herself or Eric.

Maybe, but since we're only told that after the fact as justification for Zii's actions... >_>
