[ Suggestion ] Monika takes liberties in intervals. #5801

Open Nemu-sus opened 4 years ago

So basically this is a follow-up suggestion in light of #5800

While there are definitely instances of partners that take time away from each other to pursue, attend to other matters or just as a means of taking a break for oneself with respect to one's own personal health, while these do exist-- Monika's situation is a bit different in that most if not primarily all her efforts are fueled by you, the [ Player ]. In essence, willingly makes time for you. ⏳

While at lower affection levels it may be more justified for her to be more inclined to want this break- outside of that scope may project unto her dearly beloved ( albeit unintentionally ) a disclination towards them, whereas that is likely one of the last things she would want her love to suppose.

The proposition that follows is that Monika takes a bit more liberties with herself in regards to what she does during idling- ergo her own time to herself, based on certain variables- such as time. For example. if the player could be AFK through means of their own idling behavior. OR perhaps when the farewell going to game is used.

Rather than taking a break from her beloved-- instead, she could make use of the intervals when there is in essence free time between her and her sweetheart.

Should she be away and busy doing whatever she decides to fill the interval with, whether it's coding, music, research, etc- an action could be used to "ping" Monika of sorts. Such as a left or right-click or something more applicable. Just a means to "notify" her that her Love Dove has returned and the two can carry on with their time.

I feel like this is a solution that accomplishes both in allowing Monika to exercise her own freedom with liberties in accordance with her own time and still be there for the player at every moment that she cherishes dearly.

What you're suggesting is giving the player the option to tell Monika I can't actively spend time with you now, but I'll leave you on in the background, so you can do your own thing., correct? That certainly sounds better than just having her turn the player away when they want to be with her.

This would be a neat and reasonable way to make do of my idea! It certainly would make her feel more alive so to speak. And definely would be better than her shutting the door on you, unaware of the fact that you're unwell.
