(These are well-founded things, so Iâll both try to explain myself, but also see if we have a good idea how long baked goods even last. If they WOULD last long enough to stay fresh for the next day, it could be tonight, weâll go with that. If not, then itâd have to be the next day.)
(In the game, Sayori did bake eggs and toast for her breakfast. Perhaps Japanese schools are different? Or itâs a quirk of the game? Letâs also account for the fact this would be based off of how it was like in 2017.)
(By the way, I was referring specifically to the baked goods meant for the club itself, not the stands. Those we already established would indeed be in the afternoon, though likely that afternoon and not this one, if the clubâs ones were first. We are not making stands in the morning! There really is not enough time for THAT! Just âmakingâ a batch of cookies that can be split across the club members. I donât know THAT much on baking, but I do know a whole batch can be done at once, so you donât have to bake separate times for every club member. And again, depending on how long baked cookies can stay fresh for, it might get to happen this afternoon after all. If only we had an actual baker among the two of usâŚ)
(Not using that image for Monikaâs bedroom does make sense too. In fact, while it was made in the DDLC reddit, it wasnât posted by Dan Salvato, itâs made by one of the users on that subreddit for a mod they were making at the time. So actually⌠itâs NOT real! Reusing assets from other areas of the game does work fine anyway now that I think of it, though. This is supposed to be a video game, and Monikaâs room has no art in the game. So any other houses just using the same generic background elements we could consider an actual part of the gameâs logic. The game doesnât even draw cookie sprites, after all. So if it doesnât match something Monika has, itâs just the background not matching whatâs in there, call it one of the gameâs limitations. There doesnât need to be much effort there, the player isnât supposed to get a good look. Monika doesnât have a route in the game after all.)
(One last thing. Flowey has some good ideas, and this definitely fits him in-character. Though Iâll likely have Monika explain that she really meant not to just go around the windows or go somewhere where itâs clear sheâs staying at Monikaâs. Thankfully, houses have things called walls. Also thankfully, Monika can send them both directly to Monikaâs house. So long as Flowey doesnât go around drawing attention to the fact heâs there like go around waving out the windows, itâll be fine. But hey, who knows, maybe some of those makes it more likely nothing goes wrong and works as a backup, as Monika could likely convince people this other person that definitely isnât Buttercup is definitely someone sheâs known for a while! That shouldnât need to happen, but⌠better to have a backup plan. But of course if he didnât know about the conflict the game entities might have if they get conflicting ideas on who was in that house after Ivan comes back, since if Ivan was supposedly there the whole time, Flowey couldnât have also been staying in the same house that Ivan was literally living at. Hence the idea that nobody should make that conclusion. Of course Iâll tip the scales in their favor too, but Iâm not telling them. ;) Soon Iâll work on my in-character response. Itâs clear we arenât getting any askers in this last chance before they enter the actual gameplay world right now, so I might as well just have things progress. Plus, we did work out asks can still come in as long as neither Natsuki, Yuri, or any of those in-game entities that arenât exactly characters are there to see it. You guys still have some time. And guys, donât try to tell Monika about Floweyâs poem before itâs actual sharing time if you see it and she doesnât. Or Iâll have to start blocking things from her like Nat does with Flowey.)
(âŚOkay, so Iâm sure you aware I save these posts somewhere so I donât lose it while Iâm making them, right? This sometimes means I can look into things while Iâm making this. So I tried looking into this, and yep, they could definitely last, they actually stay well for a couple days. Not sure exactly what the quality curve is, but yep, they can last. So yep, we can have them âbakeâ this day and not the next morning. It shouldnât be that noticeable in quality compared to the next morning, since theyâd get served at clubtime, which is after school. (they would have cooled down by then anyway, so itâs just based on whether itâd be stale. And nope!))
(I remembered because Flowey isn't actually attending any classes- (Or maybe he can? But everything would likely go over his head, and he isn't registered as an actual school visitor.) -so he would be able to bake them while everyone else is at school if he isn't going until the club meeting starts. But if he is, then the baking woud done today.)
(If anyone realizes Flowey was living in the same house as Ivan, we could say Ivan was away visiting family or something for a bit. The house was rented out and Flowey's family took it for the little while he is staying.
(Important stuff directed to askers is highlighted red again
(Also it's so sad that Monika doesn't get a route! :( I did not know that, but then again, in-game Monika isn't very nice. Or she is nice, but it's not very real. I'm glad your Monika is good!
