Communicating with PaPeRo is way cute! It can provide you with certain information as it is attached to the internet. You can also ask him questions (just simple ones of course) and PaPeRo will respond to your queries. Its mood changes from time to time, too. There are instances when you will be facing a jolly, sad, lazy or tired PaPeRo. A happy PaPeRo will surely dance and sing for you!
