Brad wasn't happy at all with the loose sexual ethics he had created.
His first thought was to change Meiko's sex drive.
He grabbed the slider and pulled it way down, he hesitated for a moment,
as her father he wasn't comfortable with Ro-Meiko having
sex at all, but pulling it down to 0% might cripple her mentally and
take away her ability to enjoy sex forever. He decided that putting
it on 2% was probably manageable, he liked the thought
of her saving herself for her future husband.
When he thought about it he didn't like the thought of his wife
having sampled so many other man before him. He wondered
what personality changes he could give her to make him feel a
bit more secure in his dealings with her.
He admitted to himself that his desire was to impose his own
values on Tiffany. So he lowered her "Dominance Over
Husband" to 20% so that she would be more inclined to bend
to his will. He clicked around a bit until he found her "Relationships"
tab and clicked on himself.
Legal Relation: Husband
Biological Relation: None
Emotional relationship: Sexual/Romantic
Emotional investment: 50%
Binding agents: co-parent, sexually pleasing, routine
Unbinding agents: sexually restricting, clashes with family
Brad looked over the stats. He didn't really know to what standard
of measurement Tiffany's Emotional Investment in their relationship
was being held but it seemed to him she was considering leaving him.
The Binding agents had to be the things keeping them together and
the Unbinding agents the things driving them apart.
He selected 'sexually restricting' and pressed 'delete', a warning popped
up. THIS CHANGE WILL CHANGE THE SUBJECTS SEXUAL ORIENTATION
FROM STRAIGHT TO "asexual with exception: exception(Brad Weir)" CONTINUE?
"Yeah, that was the point" Brad murmured as he clicked "OK"
The unbinding agent dissapeared and Emotional Investment climbed up to
67%. Brad thought this would probably mean she had a 33% chance of leaving
him. He selected the value and filled in "100%", another pop-up appeared;
"PLEASE SELECT AND AGENT TO MODIFY" he could do that, he clicked
'sexually pleasing' to make his sexual encounters with Tiffany important enough
to her to that she would be entirely emotionally invested in their marriage.
"WARNING! SUBJECTS SEXUAL DRIVE IS AT FULL CAPACITY. INCREASE
TO EXTRAHUMAN LEVELS?"
He wondered, would he make his wife, who he had ensured could only be
attracted to him, unnaturally lustful? Maybe it would be better to increase
her investment in raising their children together with him. Was the stat even
really how much she wanted to stay with him? Or was it how much her relationship
with him affected her emotionally? His mouse hovered between the "ACCEPT" and
"CANCEL" button.
