Christina Priscilla Diana van Dyke, or "Thunderbird" is a character in Leisure Suit Larry 6. She also won a trip to La Costa Lotta by competing in a game show, but she does not say which one.
History[]
As Larry passes through La Costa Lotta's gym, he sees Thunderbird working hard on a thigh exerciser. He introduces himself, and she does the same, giving her full name. However, she orders him to call her Thunderbird instead. She asks how Larry got to La Costa Lotta, and he explains that he won the trip from his time on Stallions. Thunderbird guesses that he got the second place prize. She says the reason she knows that is because she also won a trip to the spa from being on a show.
Larry asks if she wants to get better acquainted. Thunderbird agrees on one condition: bring her a pair of handcuffs. After Larry swipes a pair from a security guard, he presents it to Thunderbird. She takes them, and tells Larry to go to her room in a few minutes. She leaves, but does not give Larry the room number. So, Larry searches around, knocking on doors. Eventually, he finds her room. Thunderbird invites him in and offers him a drink. While Larry's back is turned, Thunderbird takes off her bathrobe, revealing a leather monokini and boots. She puts a dog collar around Larry's neck, tears Larry's clothes off, and leashes him to the lamp in the center of the room. She orders him to bark like a dog, and chases him while cracking a whip. This continues for several hours, and eventually Larry ends up back in his room.
Trivia[]
- Thunderbird's nickname is a reference to Thunderbird wine, a type of fortified wine that was popular during the 1980s and 1990s. It was discontinued for a few years, but has made somewhat of a comeback.
