> Nod.> "Good. Now, hold still, and let me know if this hurts. It shouldn't, but it's not impossible that it will."> Force a string into Marisa's left hand.
Well, this game happened.
> "Splendid. Continue holding still, please. If this gets to be too much, let me know."> Force strings into Marisa's right hand, then her left leg, then her right leg, then her stomach, then her upper chest, and then finally her forehead.
> Would more strings than this allow for easier control?>> If so, say "Do you need me to stop?">> If not, say "No, that will be all I need."
> "I guess you can consider this as payback for all those things. Here I come."> Force strings in Marisa's left and right shoulders. Do the same for her feet.
> Would multiple strings in the same location, (like, say, two or three strings in a single leg) allow for easier control? Or does string control not stack in this way?
> Well, this is a human...> "Would you mind more?">> If she agrees, then force one more in each of the spots we used already.
> "My apologies for the pain, but this is admittedly uncharted territory for me."
> Do we think so?>> If yes: "I think this is enough.>> If not: "... A bit more?"
> "I ask because I've never tried more than one string in one spot. Using multiple strings in one spot may mean nothing, or it may mean enhanced ease of control. If you wish me to stop here, though, then I will do so."
> "Understood. I will not add any more without explicit permission. Now, let us begin."> Make Marisa raise her right hand above her head.
I have my ways~> Take on an expression that is mildly more interested by the proceedings than before.> Make Marisa put her right hand down and raise her left hand above her head.> "Interesting. How does this feel for you?"
Hmm, that's strange. Can you describe the issue?
//I was ninja'd not only by you, but also by Mini :V> "You don't feel anything? Not even remotely?"> Make Marisa take a step ahead with her right feet.> Do the same with her other feet.
> Make Marisa put her left hand down.> Make Marisa walk in a circle around the room.> "So it is as though someone is moving your limbs for you? Rather than, say, ideas suddenly appearing in your head where you feel beholden to execute them?"
> Try to shake her head slightly.> Try to move her shoulders a bit.
> "Ideally, that would not happen. All right, the basics seem to be the same. I'm going to start trying more advanced things."> Make Marisa stop moving around the room and return to her desk.> Make Marisa write her name at the top of her note.
> Allow a small smile to begin creeping across our face.> "Ah, wonderful."> Make Marisa retrieve the last book she read. Follow her around if she needs to move any sort of distance.
