--- Quote from: questionablecontentfan on 01 Sep 2011, 09:20 ---Do you think maybe Momo said it again just so Marigold didn't think she was just saying it because she bought her the chassis? "I really do love you" does that not mean anything?
Offering to cook for Marigold, take care of her? And you still think Momo is insincere...
I think Momo does care very much about Marigold. Giving the finger when Angus did what he did, trying to drag her out of bed when she was wallowing after the rejection (now she might be able to really drag her out, lol). Yes, Momo cares about Marigold very much. Until Hannelore came along, I think she was the only one. Angus doesn't care about Marigold as much as he should.
I think if Marigold does get a boyfriend, it might be a little hard for Momo, but I think she'll be happy for Marigold and not try to ruin things. At least I hope she doesn't. But she has shown some Pintsize-like naughtiness at times.
Maybe she'll just take some time for herself to go after Sven. :)

It doesnt make any sense when she says she doesn't know how she can repay her. You can! Right now! Get a job! Until Momo does something to help pay for her chassis, her useless words and preparing Marigold's ramen for the day are insufficient. Don't say you want to repay her, go do it! You're a robot who can work 24/7 without tiring, you can get a job easy.
As for Momo/Sven, it isn't happening according to Jeph. He said that would be weird (and I have to agree). Even more so with Momo's 13 year-old body.

Repayment isn't always a solely monetary consideration, you know. With a decent job, Momo might be able to pay off her new chassis in a few months or years, especially since she doesn't seem to have a lot of other expenses (what would Momo spend money on, usually? Software? Entertainment? Eels? She certainly appears to be supported in all her physical needs by Marigold - shelter, electricity, etc.).
But that fact that Marigold went out of her way to help Momo with something like this? That she supports Momo's desire for a different appearance and greater physical capabilities and is willing to cut sharply into her own food budget to make that desire a reality, and that she came to the decision to do this so quickly and decisively? Yeah, I can see where Momo wouldn't consider that something she could pay back with a transfer into Marigold's bank account. You can't buy love, and you can't repay it with cold hard cash, either.

Exactly. There are no debts between family. You simply desire to return the favor, and when you do it's rarely a matter of dollars and cents.
Carl-E:
...which brings up another interesting angle. I've got family, born into and born of. And then there's the family you choose (which in my case, is considerably larger :wink:). Momo/Marigold, Marten/Pintsize and Hanelore/Winslow are clearly not born family, but they do accept familial roles (of sorts).
Then there's the whole LGBTQ notion of "family", but that's a horse of a different color...

Electricity is a HUGE expense...not to mention the air conditioning for the amount of heat she must be giving off. She is most definitely an expense.
You can't buy love? Marigold just did, she bought her a chassis that must have been at least 20k. I don't remember Momo giving her tons of hugs and telling Marigold how much she loved her before that.
The LEAST Momo could do is work out a way to pay her back, not because she has to, but because she should. A good friend does not take a huge gift and not repay it, Momo was ready to get a job and buy it herself so she still better be willing to do the same after Marigold bit the bullet for her.
gangler:
Considering that 30k would have required her to take out a loan I have a hard time buying that it was as much as 20k. She's cutting the food budget, not canceling the internet here.
Is it cold in here?:

Welcome, new person!
Pintsize spends money on gifts, costumes, and compensating people for damages.
Electricity cost was an issue with the Flying Roombinos, but they probably required a lot more energy than even full-size Momo.
