--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--
Mayhem Satiii? Satine she came around the corner after changing from her work attire and found Jayd, her boss wonder, in the living room near the door he just entered. "Hi!" Her eyes bounced to his face hoping to find no reason to be concerned about her work day or the performance. "Everything fine at the store?"
Mayhem Yeah! I brought you a little congrats on getting into college
Mayhem held out a box.
Satine blinked as she stepped forward and looked to the box in his hands. "For me?" She was seriously going to college? "I am going back to school?"
Mayhem nodded. He handed over the box as a little squeal came from inside.
Satine watched him nod his head then reached out. She couldn't remember the last time she got a gift. Her therapist. Now she remembered. The nice one. Didi. She gave her a journal for Christmas that one year. Chester found it five months later and she didn't see the light of day for a month after. "Thank you." A squeal came from the inside of the box and she was nervous holding it. She gave it a little shake. "It makes noise?"
Mayhem ... Opppeeennnn it, ya dork.
Satine did just that and quickly opened the box. Her eyes go down to see the tiny pig then brought the box up closer to make sure she was seeing the tiny animal. "A piglet?" She looked up with a smile.
Mayhem A teacup piglet.
Mayhem But don't expect it to grow... And don't try to feed it.
Satine pulled the littlel bald body from the box and held it up looking at it. It was not as warm as she expected in her hands. "Poor thing is cold. I need to get a towel and wrap it up." She walked to the kitchen. "What do you mean don't feed it? Is it like a Gremlin or something?"
Mayhem No... It's an animatronic Artificial Intelligence Robotic.
Satine *little?me nodded. "Okay this is wild because it seems so real." She tapped at it's nose and watched it wiggle like she would expect a real pig to. "So don't feed it?" She lifted it up and looked it over and finally looked at its backside. "Where do you put the batteries or plug it in to charge it?"
Mayhem ... I'll work you through that, but first
Mayhem put his hands over the pig's audio sensories, "Repeat this after I take my hands of it's.... Ears..." Easiest way to explain the audio sensories, "I, Satine, claim ownership of __namehere__."
Satine nods wrapping it up in the dishtowel she found because if she didn't it meant she was standing there with a towel she didn't need and looking like a dork.
Mayhem took his hands off it.
Satine lifted her chin a little as this was a serious moment. It wasn't everyday that you were given the responsibility of a teacup piglet. "I, Satine, claim ownership of Mogwai." this of course was followed by the flutter of her heart because she was now indeed the owner of a piglet named...Mogwai. Her eyes shifted a bit then she leaned in a little and whispered. "Uhmm...what next?"
Mayhem Next? Nothing. From now on it will only adhere to your commands. It will watch you and the world you bring it into. It will listen, it will get to know you and form a personality and schedule based on you.
Mayhem It's Artificial Intelligence, meaning it learns about you and becomes... "someone" as it gets to know you and it's environment.
Satine looked at it. She brought it closer and sniffed it's head. "Never will poop? No need to scoop up little raisin like turds?" Sh was making sure they were clear on that. She didn't want to go to sleep and wake up with what would be warm raisinettes on her feet when she made her way to the kitchen to make coffee.
Mayhem No poop.
Satine was relieved. "Thank you!" She smiled and shrugged her shoulders up looking rather excited to have this Mogwai piglet. "I promise I will take good care of..." She lifted up the pig and looked at the tell tale parts and then was relieved again."Him." Unless that was his tail. She wasn't going to look again to figure it out.
Mayhem And you will promptly be going to school.
Mayhem Even if I have to drag you.
Satine the piglet lowered in her hands and she eyed him."You are willing to do that so I go to school?" She found it sweet someone thought she was with that. "Mogwai comes with."
Satine she nodded. "He enough of a memory chip to copy answers?"
Mayhem Du-- Hey, wait, no! You are not using him to cheat!
Satine eyes blinked slowly looking back at the robotic creature in her hands. She could really see no difference at all from it not being alive except it was a little cold but that was changing as she held it in her warm hands against her chest. "Fine." She curled her bottom lip inward to cover the bottom row of her teeth. Of course she would. But Jayd didn't need to know that.
Mayhem Yes. It does have quite a bite of oomph in it's hard drive, otherwise the Artificial Intelligence wouldn't work.
But it's not something you can just dump **** into.
Mayhem Besides.
Mayhem If you were going to use it to cheat, it'd be easier to have it look at the answers and the later get into it's Visual Recordings before it overwrites.
Satine batted her eyes watching him. She really was listening to all he said. Her fingers tightened around the piglet.
Mayhem so clueless as to how bad it is to give her this information.
Satine grinned slowly. that all became a mental note and she would be using it often. Yes she would.
Satine inhaled deep and held it in as if she had gained more than she expected from her new pet. "thank you, Jayd. Mogwai will be in good hands. I promise."
Mayhem If you have any trouble with him, like he seems low on energy, or something seems wrong with his wiring or coding, bring him to me, okay?
Satine nodded and held it while stepping in and giving him a kiss on his cheek.
Satine "Thank you for the pet. It will make things less quiet and it means a lot. For everything." She smiled taking another peek at the pink tea cup sized piglet.
Mayhem went all kinds of red at the kiss on the cheek.
Satine she looked over her shoulder at the Chinese take out on the kitchen counter. It was still hot. "Do you want to take some with you...food? Or you can eat it here. I bought extra and was going to bring it to work tomorrow."
Mayhem Dinner, actually sounds great right now. I've gotta text someone if you could prepare it?
Mayhem A plate, that is.
Mayhem eyed her, then his phone.
Satine turned on her heels and went to the counter with the pig tucked under her arm. trying to deal with the take out boxes and the plates was a bit odd so she set the robotic pet on the stool and set up a plate for him. After grabbing a fork from her mismatched set of silverware she walked back to him and held it out in offering. What would you like to drink?" She glanced down at his cell in his hand then back up. "Everything ok?"
