After defeating Urd at ping-pong, Mara turned to Keiichi. "Care to play, little man?"

"Uh... sure." Keiichi took Urd's place, and picked up her paddle. "I'm only a mortal, but I'll try to keep up with— URK!!"

Mara had just served the ball. "What!?" she said irritably.

Keiichi made a pathetic gargling noise. His face began to turn blue.

Mara smirked. "Ah. I should've warned you not to play with your mouth open."

She walked behind Keiichi, put her arms around him, and Heimlich-maneuvered him. Keiichi coughed up the ping-pong ball and gasped for breath.

"That's my point," Mara said.
