> Make Shanghai kick her.
> Glare at her.
> "Would you stop that, this is serious" For us at least.
>You decide to break convention for the moment and send Shanghai to deliver a simple wooden dollkick to Marisa's cranium, glaring and reminding her of the importance of the issue.
>"Owahahaha!" she replies, the blow breaking her concentration on not laughing aloud, "I'm sorry, I know, it's just... ahahahammfghheehaa..."
>Shanghai kick her? After she's turned her back to us and give us a target?
>Garrot her. Give her a swift kick in the ass.
>This response is unsatisfactory, and even if she hasn't actually turned her back, that bent-over pose and near-helpless laughter DOES give you an idea...
>Namely to strangle your best friend and make a realdoll out of her corpse>You quietly walk around behind Marisa, pause to savor the moment as she makes no move to defend herself, and swing the tip of your boot into the small of her back.
>She gives a proper shriek of pain this time, and falls forward into a pile of pots with a clatter.
> Aim Shanghai at her computer.
>To make sure the message is absolutely clear, you then move Shanghai over to aim at her computer, arms extended in preparation for a laser, and give Marisa a moment to recover.
>"Owowow..." Marisa moans, as she picks herself out of the mess of fallen dishware, "Damnit Alice, that hurt!"
> "You think this is funny? Because I think I know how to make you explode with laughter."
>Marisa blinks at your threat for a moment, then frowns. "... okay, yeah, I guess I earned that one." She sighs. "Okay. Yeah, that's gotta be a pain in the ass, ze." She rubs her own for a moment and winces.
>"D'ya want me to try and remove it?"
