A junior engineer working for a small engineering firm in Cocoa Beach. The firm focuses mostly on NASA projects.
Neil is Jean’s best friend. When Jean was turned into a genie, Neil became Jeanie’s master.
Eh, it’s probably safe enough if they’re out far enough. All the local sharks know the best tasting tourists (corn fed midwesterners) are found right by the shore.
@Who, Me? Heh.That would look odd, wouldn’t it?
Now, if Nat was wearing a one piece, Neil could claim to have worn one of those Victorian age male suits which also covered the torso. But bikini lines? hahaha
That’s probably more a look of envy. She’s likely thinking that Natalie is flaunting her knockers with that swimsuit.
Either that, or she remembers Natalie as that strange woman who showed up at Rodge’s place that one night. The time Caley thought she was up to something and Natalie had to spend the night on the sofa.
It could also be a look of suspicion at the guys, because she’s thinking the same thing as Natalie: “Why did they ask us to get into sexy bikinis when we won’t even have a chance to swim until we stop?”
Araceli’s been a genie for a long time. She’s Old School, and once referred to Jeanie as a “baby genie”. She knows the score on the male mind set all too well.
Araceli finding out about Neil being Natalie could go one of two ways—either she will be upset at Jeanie forcing her “manly” Master to be a woman, or she could decide that Neil wants to be Natalie and respond to that either with disgust or enthusiasm.
I hope at the end of this story arch when Jeanie returns she transforms Liam into a mermaid as punishment for making Natalie wear a bikini. We haven’t seen a mermaid tg yet and I would love to see it happen!!!
His ex-wife got the house, custody of the kid, and enough of the money that Liam couldn’t afford to buy another house, so she may have simply decided it wasn’t worth the effort to squeeze him completely dry.
Have you ever owned a boat? A boat is a hole in the water you pour money into. Maybe she decided that allowing him to keep it was the worst thing she could do.
Neil has been Natalie enough times and had to dress appropriately enough times for the various situations she has been in that I would expect her to be unfazed by whatever she had to wear. As long as it is appropriate for that time.
Remember, the first time Neil was turned into Natalie, she was sent to the strip club. After a couple of times of that, she can now probably handle just about anything.
Natalie’s cup size is canonically a bit larger than D. You can see a full cup size chart in the pinned comments on the #general channel in the CD Rudd Discord server.
The “meta” answer to Natalie’s question is: for the fanservice. As far as in-story answer, I’m not 100% sure what she means about “still moving”, but they’re probably doing it to save time, instead of waiting until after they reach their destination to change into swimsuits.
Not Jeanie. She has too much power and throws it around too easily.
Before we lose Araceli, I want to know why she’s pouting. Is she disappointed that Neil isn’t on the boat?
Technically, a bikini top is a bandeau–no shoulder straps. And the bottom is smaller than what Natalie is wearing–more like Araceli’s. But these days, any two-piece gets called a bikini.
Too bad the boat isn’t going to Brazil, where there are swim suits referred to as “dental floss” because of their minimal, not to say microscopic, size.
Ah… the page when this 44 year old reader discovers that “Caley” is a girl’s name.
(I mean I guess I’ve heard of another one, spelled differently, and was short for something else.)
Natalie in a bikini great way to start the first page of the new year.
panel 3: ADVANAGE should be ADVANTAGE.
*Waves hands like a magician*
You saw nothing…
Natalie and Ariceli are in bikinis. What else is there to see?
Remember:
Waving hands like a magician.
Fruit flies like bananas.
Thong bikinis?
Not quite! Zan nen desu!
To stay on theme obviously: Can’t have a horror film without half-naked… oh dear. Abandon boat! Abandon boat! To the waves!
To the waves full of sharks?
Eh, it’s probably safe enough if they’re out far enough. All the local sharks know the best tasting tourists (corn fed midwesterners) are found right by the shore.
I think the traditional line here is, “Oh, Natalie! You sweet, summer child.”
I honestly hope she learns to enjoy this.
I hope she doesn’t get sunburn. or tan lines.
Some of us like tan lines. They’re like a semi-permanent but transparent suit.
Burns, though, are torture, and cause premature wrinkling.
I was thinking the tan lines she’ll get will look weird when (if) he’s male.
@Who, Me? Heh.That would look odd, wouldn’t it?
Now, if Nat was wearing a one piece, Neil could claim to have worn one of those Victorian age male suits which also covered the torso. But bikini lines? hahaha
Or a singlet and trunks as he was being sunsafe top, hat and sunscreen. “It just tanned weirdly ok”.
Natalie could be wearing a tankini. (They transmit UV, so no tan lines.)
Question: Dose Araceli Know that Natalie is really Neil? Or at least sense that genie magic was used on her?
It kind of looks like Araceli if giving her a suspicions look In Panel 4.
That’s probably more a look of envy. She’s likely thinking that Natalie is flaunting her knockers with that swimsuit.
Either that, or she remembers Natalie as that strange woman who showed up at Rodge’s place that one night. The time Caley thought she was up to something and Natalie had to spend the night on the sofa.
It could also be a look of suspicion at the guys, because she’s thinking the same thing as Natalie: “Why did they ask us to get into sexy bikinis when we won’t even have a chance to swim until we stop?”
Araceli’s been a genie for a long time. She’s Old School, and once referred to Jeanie as a “baby genie”. She knows the score on the male mind set all too well.
Does that mean that Natalie is “Ginger” and Ariceli is “Mary Anne?”
Araceli finding out about Neil being Natalie could go one of two ways—either she will be upset at Jeanie forcing her “manly” Master to be a woman, or she could decide that Neil wants to be Natalie and respond to that either with disgust or enthusiasm.
I hope at the end of this story arch when Jeanie returns she transforms Liam into a mermaid as punishment for making Natalie wear a bikini. We haven’t seen a mermaid tg yet and I would love to see it happen!!!
I highly doubt, given the focus on this storyline, that will happen.
Natalie showed up with a backpack. She — or Jeanie — packed that bikini.
Likely Jeanie. Natalie’s asked her to poof up some girl clothes for her.
Why would that be worth of punishment? It’s not like Liam even gave her the swim suit…
That said, if you want a mermaid story, check out Shadowrnnr’s fanfics. One of the chapters in Rita’s story is based on mermaids.
Surprised he even got to keep the boat.
His ex-wife got the house, custody of the kid, and enough of the money that Liam couldn’t afford to buy another house, so she may have simply decided it wasn’t worth the effort to squeeze him completely dry.
She can come for it later as a concealed asset.
Have you ever owned a boat? A boat is a hole in the water you pour money into. Maybe she decided that allowing him to keep it was the worst thing she could do.
Now, THAT sounds like an actual divorce tactic.
At laaaaaaaaaaaaast
Neil/Natalie seems oddly unfazed in swimwear.
Neil has been Natalie enough times and had to dress appropriately enough times for the various situations she has been in that I would expect her to be unfazed by whatever she had to wear. As long as it is appropriate for that time.
Remember, the first time Neil was turned into Natalie, she was sent to the strip club. After a couple of times of that, she can now probably handle just about anything.
Always amazed by Natalie’s “talent”. What bra size ya think she’d be?
Natalie’s cup size is canonically a bit larger than D. You can see a full cup size chart in the pinned comments on the #general channel in the CD Rudd Discord server.
Thanks, I was going to guess DD
Ouch. My back hurts just thinking about it.
You know, Neil’s bit pudgy. All that mass has to go somewhere on Natalie, who’s quite narrow waisted.
Good luck tracking it down though, any post on discord channels get buried fast.
The post is pinned, so it’s not hard to find.
You’re a guy inside Natalie. You know the answer.
Not quite. That’s Neil inside Natalie, and Neil is awfully clueless about such matters, to the point of wilful blindness.
The “meta” answer to Natalie’s question is: for the fanservice. As far as in-story answer, I’m not 100% sure what she means about “still moving”, but they’re probably doing it to save time, instead of waiting until after they reach their destination to change into swimsuits.
In case certain rotating blades come in need of repair, natch.
Did Araceli get her legs stretched for the weekend?
I think it’s more of “perspective” in that Araceli is further back than Natalie/Neil.
Very strange perspective. Torso needs to be longer, legs shorter.
Natalie AND Araceli in bikinis…perfect way to start the year off on. 😀
Anyone else think so?
Agreed! But lose Araceli and bring in Anderson and/or Jeanie, instead. 🙂
Not Jeanie. She has too much power and throws it around too easily.
Before we lose Araceli, I want to know why she’s pouting. Is she disappointed that Neil isn’t on the boat?
I hope the boat does not break down and they get stuck in the middle of the ocean.
Not much of a problem with a genie on board.
so you’ll already be ready when boat stops
Is Calley picking her nose or is she trying to point to something that is about to happen?
Seems like she’s pointing to herself… for whatever reason. Maybe trying to feel included as part of Natalie’s question?
Has remark been made about “Lucky Minnow”?
Lotta folks on the Discord have been assuming this is going to become a Gilligan’s Island crossover due to that name.
It’s the lucky one because it’s still afloat.
I think Araceli is well aware of what’s up. She looks pissed.
Technically, a bikini top is a bandeau–no shoulder straps. And the bottom is smaller than what Natalie is wearing–more like Araceli’s. But these days, any two-piece gets called a bikini.
Too bad the boat isn’t going to Brazil, where there are swim suits referred to as “dental floss” because of their minimal, not to say microscopic, size.

Tradition.
