"Ahhh It's so cute! How much is it?" Mirino asks with her eyes wide open.
"It's 5,000 wu long. It has five gigs of storage, built in email client, an address book, sattelite connection, a mini-cdrom, and of course a LCD screen." Mirino reaches into her blouse and yanks out a some money placing it on the table then snatches up the smiley face. She opens the small box tossing it behind her and straps it onto her belt. "Thank you for the purchase, come again." She walks out the of the electronics store and starts fiddling around with the options.
"Hello, my name is Urd." The little machine states in young girls voice.
"Hi, Urd I'm Mirino!" She happily replies.
"What would you like to do?" Mirino puts a finger to her lip.
"I dunno."
"Dunno? What's dunno?"
"It's short for don't know."
"How can speech be short? That's a physical term."
"I mean slang." She corrects herself. Mirino stops and looks confused. "The clerk didn't say anything about an AI."
"Allow me to expla-" She interupts it.
"Be quiet, I have to think."
"I'm sorry!" It says upset.
