Is it cold in here?:
Here's an odd question. How warm is Momo? Is she like a laptop that is almost too hot to touch, or is she cold? In either case she would be an uncomfortable sleeping companion.
questionablecontentfan:
Not if Marigold got a huge ass bed, so they wouldn't have to touch. lol.
I've heard people with problems in their marriage do that. Almost like separate beds, except not.
I'd like to think if she were either of those, Marigold would have had some reaction like "ow!" but Jeph does leave some things to the imagination.
I'm thinking the most uncomfortable thing about sharing a bed with Momo, for Marigold, is the personal space breaching.

IOW, if Momo was to quit Marigold (unlikely given Momo's character, but play along), would she have to leave the chassis Marigold bought and head off to the cyberspace AI "job centre" to look for another human or other role (bank/nuclear sub/whatever)?

My answer would have been the AI having ownership, at least in a civilian/AnthroPC kind of relationship. To me it would make sense that the original chassis would be part of the "contract" between the AI and the human - choosing their chassis would be part of the "self-identity" choosing process that Jeph talked about. That way if they did decide to split up, the reimbursement from the dealer would include the price of the original chassis and the AI would be free to go on its merry way.
But I just reread this bit in particular:
--- Quote from: Jeph --- One would think that the majority of AIs would choose to simply be given a chassis and left to make their own way in the world, but the majority who do not go into a specialized profession choose to pair up with a human "owner."
--- End quote ---
The part about simply being "given" the chassis does seem to imply that in the alternative of living with a human, the human has at least some right to the chassis. So perhaps we must assume that it's a different situation for each individual contract.
Is it cold in here?:
The worst way to do it, which is therefore plausible, is that the law treats it like a divorce and a judge has to settle the property division.

A copy of "Magical Love Gentleman", the anime/manga that Mari adores that only exists in the QC-verse.

Actually, when you're as big as Mar-bear is (and I am), spaghetti strap tank tops SUCK!
