So yeah, how about those telemarketers? I actually did this once; I let the person talk for like three minutes until there was silence, and then I just hung up.

Poor Alice D: you’ll get someone to join eventually.
I don’t think I could think of a better ending for that
Stop being mean to Alice! *baps KirbyM* >:E
Aww~~~~~ That poor Alice ;-;
Sometimes the fanwork are so mean & cruel to her.
Now I remember that Flash about Alice that comes with the last Iosys Album… Artificial Children! It’s so sad~ T-T
*sigh* Anyway, it was a good flash ^^
Alice san, I will sign up for your life insurance plan! ;_;/
it was a recording.
Telemarketer Alice is Telemarketer …no wait.
Poor Alice, roneriness follows her everywhere. Whether she is in Gensokyo, or working as the Harvard representative or as a telemarketer. T_T
It’s better to receive than to give. That way you won’t have people hanging up on you 100% of the time. They would instead have a 50% chance of randomly shouting at you; which you can keep your distance when they do so.
I prefer the Pyschostick method. You allow the person to start talking and got “Yeah, yeah, yeah.” After awhile you start to yell “NO, NO, NO, NO, NO,…” until they hang up. The problem is most companies use a machine recording for telemarketing now.
I just hang up right away. -.-
Poor Alice…
I normally scare them off with my greeting. I pick up the phone and scream as if I was fighting with someone or make it sound as if they called some weird demolition service or something.
What do you do if it was a automated telemarketer?
If I do not hear any response after I say hello for one or two seconds, it is most likely an automated telemarketer. A simple hang up works best.
I just hang up.
Also: no ronery-alice in this fanwork! >:3
You know kirb…
intercourse thyself!
Due to their numerous phone calls, I tend to hang up without even making sure it really is just some telemarketing which cause me to end up in big problems.
Alice.
Telemarketers get my head blank for a while, however I say something like ‘I don’t understand’ and they’ll stay silent for an eternity.
Oh, ouch. That last panel was fantastic, Kirb.
Yeah, I got nothin’. I don’t deal with telemarketers often. Hell, I don’t use anything other than the internet often…
“You lost me” Everytime they ask something
i think it’s probably best to not even answer those calls because it confirms the number is still in use by the home or something i dunno
but yeah i’d do that if the consequences weren’t dire (annoyance dire)
Oh… Telemarketers… once I had a China national woman calling my mobile, promoting some kind of convention. I didn’t hang up. I just spoke to her in Jap and she hung up. Yee~Haw!
Aww…. Alice. Don’t worry. Some day you’ll find someone that cares. 頑張る！～
I just directly say “Sorry, not interested” in cycles as a response to anything the person calling says.
“I’m calling to offer you…”
“Sorry, not interested”
“But I think you need…”
“Sorry, not interested”
“May I talk to…?”
“Sorry, not interested”
“Okay, thank you very much.”
“Sorry, not interested”
“…”
“Sorry, not interested”
*The person calling hangs up*
I default to pretending I can’t understand lengthy English, spouting random Korean or Japanese as chaffs.
@MarisaMuffin: Aw.. That was so cute ^^ I think I like a happy-Alice
But even, sometimes I feel bad for Shangai ._. And don’t know why xD
Telemarketers are mostly automated. At least here.
Alice = Not as planned
…Ring…Ring…Ring…Ring
Banana Phone
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

lol whoever else Alice could gain such cold threatment? Poor dollmaker T.T
PS: She’s actually my favourite char… :P
… in the list just after 53 else before her :D
Zing zing zing zing zing zing zing … ZATANA PHONE!
Wow. GJ, Kirb.
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! How dare you do this to mai waifu!
Come here Alice, I love you
Arisu noooooahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Poor alice =/
One time, a Taiwanese phone company tried to make us switch to their service….my dad swore at them in Taiwanese lol
Normally, he’s a very calm person, but these people repeatedly called us every 3 hours that day lol
Jesus Christ I lol’d until I couldn’t lol no more.
Awesome. Liked the ending, although I feel sorry for Alice.
Also, a good way to deal with telemarketers is to act like you called them. Order a pizza, ask for a certain phone number, or even try to sell them something. Hopefully you’ll confuse them so much that they forget what they were doing. Bonus points if you get them to say something to the effect of “Sorry, you’ve got the wrong number.”
Or you could start coming on to them, creepy-stalker style. That works too.
Ah, that’s where our answer-phone comes in. Yeah, it’s not exactly as interesting as the rest. Usually they hang up before it even gets to finish its “…So please leave your message after the tone” message.
Also, that was the first flash in quite some time to actually make me laugh out loud. Nice one. =D But I’m really feeling sorry for Alice, constantly being so lonely on all your flashes. Except for the Valentine’s one, then she was just… burnt.
Also, nice job with the comics, MarisaMuffin. =D
Maybe Alice is mistreated too much in your flashes.
…Nah.
You gotta do the proper thing, and start asking them questions.
“Before I do your survey, can I ask you a few questions?”
“Great, great, what’s your name? The company’s name? How long you been working with them? What cereal do you eat..?”
They give up after a while, or break down.
I once imagined Hugo Weaving (who naturally has an Australian accent) listening for a minute, somehow wheedling the telemarketer for their last name, and then saying “Er … exuse me a moment … Hay! Who’re yew!? I — arrrgggghhhhhh!!!” Plays SFX from the Matrix, clatter of the phone getting dropped, then picking it up again: “I’m … sorry, Mr. Reynolds, this is now the residence of Mr. … Smith.”
Why does Alice always receive such harsh treatment from the fan community? What did she do to become so unloved by everyone, and laughed at through her expense? :x
Oh well I guess, it’s just sad that Alice gets mistreated so often in many doujins and comics, when there is a -huge- cast of others to do the same. And no one stands up for her… they just laugh. D’:
*huggles the lonely Alice plushie, while staring cold-heartedly at everyone else* :V
