I hope they found a good home for the eels. Poor eels.

Probably a hovercraft.

--- Quote from: TRVA123 on 09 May 2015, 08:45 ---I do think the apparent age of her new chassis has something to do with it. Momo might be avoiding revealing those thoughts because of the squick factor. It is also possible that her long term plan is to gradually age as she jumps to new chassises, paralleling her growing experience as a person in the world.

Actually I think there's an interesting conversation we could have there, especially since
1. This is a world where digital sentients exist, and can/do interact with organic ones, and share a whole lotta characteristics with them.
2. This is also a world where a digital sentient can change its physical body drastically.... assuming it can afford to.
Is it okay to be squicked out by a relationship between an adult AI and an adult human? Or perhaps I should ask is it just to act on such a squick? These aren't humans, after all, not the AI, no matter how human-like their chassis is. They are our sibling-souls, but so's Chewbacca, and he's a wookie not a human.
And what about our spider-chassis friend? The toaster? If they're of an interest to have a romantic and/or sexual relationship with a human, should we really be off-put about that?
I feel like we're probably getting into 'Her' territory here, though, and I didn't watch that movie, so y'know.

I don't want to stop Jeph from going there, so I'll state here that whatever I say here is Public Domain (in case he actually wants to use it), but I still want to see one of Sam's same, or similar-age male friends develop a mutual crush, and awkward flirtation and such. The same kind of thing that people who are around Momo's apparent age would do. It would give a "safe" place for Jeph to explore that aspect of her personality.
If the mods want to delete this, for obvious reasons, please do so.

My guess is that it hasn't been mentioned because it hasn't been relevant to the story, and there have been other punchlines to use. As for being embarrassed by it...well, I'd say that it's more a case of "I don't really want to know that about my friends", or "I'd rather not hear my friends going at it", rather than "Ew, sex!" in a more general sense.

No.
Look, I know people -- and I'm reasonably sure you do, too -- who look a lot younger than their age. But basing her relationships (or lack thereof) on just physical appearance is a minefield on several levels... not least of which is the fact that, whatever her appearance, she's an adult by any reasonable measure (intellectually, socially, etc.). Her social circle, her coworkers, and -- one assumes -- most of the people she encounters on a day to day basis are adults. She has an adult job and adult responsibilities; her friendships, ways of thinking, et cetera, are those of an adult.
Call me old-fashioned, but an adult in a relationship with someone who's just barely a teenager isn't cute, it's predatory.
