holli more glades

//ask holli for more glades
[More Glades]

//first time asking
Noting more than a passing resemblance between the demonic dryad in your camp and the corrupted glades in the forest, you decide to ask her about them.

[say: [if (dom holli) {A work of art, aren't they?|Enjoying yourself, are you?}]] She smiles, [if (hascock) {her flower blossoming forth, its petals spread in invitation and already dripping with nectar|the slick, coiling caress of her vines brushing lightly across your cheek}]. The sweet, floral scent wafting off her hides a sexual tang, and the first breath makes [if (low lust) {your own lust bubble up, hot against your [skinshort]|your mind fog over with desire, your body wanting nothing more than to dive [if (hascock) {in|on}] to her [if (hascock) {waiting folds|squirming shafts}]}]. As you exhale, the daze breaks just enough to remember why you came.

[say: More of them? [if (dom holli) {Maybe I could...|I'd love to.}]]
//haven't fed her today
[if (dom holli) {She beckons you closer, her aroma tingling in your nose [if (singleleg) {as you draw closer|with each step}]. [say: But if you can't even remember to take care of me, how will you care for our children?]|Holli glances around nervously, seemingly sinking back into her tree. [say: But without your help...] [if (hascock) {Her flower flutters|Several of her vines wiggle}] enticingly, and you're pretty sure you know what she needs. [say: I don't have the strength to do that if I'm not fertilized,] she admits, her emerald skin darkening to a deep green in what you can only assume is a blush.}]

It doesn't seem as though [if (dom holli) {she's going to budge on this|she's lying}], so you've no choice but to drop the topic, at least for now. //back to her menu

//fed her (dom holli)
She beckons you closer, her aroma tingling in your nose [if (singeleg) {as you draw closer|with each step}]. [say: Letting the lands flourish with corruption, all for your own pleasure... I like the way you think, Champion.]

With a satisfied sigh, Holli leans in, [if (hashair) {ruffling your hair|patting your head}] with what you can only hope was her hand[if (short) {--though considering your own size, you're pretty sure it wasn't}]. Just when you wonder if she's actually going to help, the ground starts to rumble beneath you, nearly knocking you [if (singleleg) {over|off your feet}]. Her roots bulge and groan beneath the soil, the land around her turning parched as she wills new life to grow. By the time it finally stops, Holli herself remains the only greenery around, the blighted, barren land creeping threateningly close to your camp.

[say: It is done, [name].] Seeing your expression, she adds, [say: I guess you'll just have to water me more often.]

You <i>did</i> get what you wanted... you think. //increase corrupt glade recovery rate
//fed her (sub holli)
Holli hums in delight as soon as you nod your approval. [say: All you have to do is ask, [name].]

For a second you wonder if she's as capable as she claims, but an ominous trembling beneath your [feet] silences those doubts. Her tree creaks and groans with sounds you're pretty sure a plant ought not to make, and a quick glance at the ground reveals the already sparse plant growth around your camp shriveling away, disappearing into the dirt. By the time she finally stops, you fear there's nothing left but the dry, cracked earth, standing in stark contrast to Holli's vibrant greens.

[say: Enjoy, [name].] Seeing your expression, she squirms within her tree, the demonic plant-goddess about as apologetic as you've ever seen her. [say: Sorry... it's not easy to grow more of them.]

Holli [if (hascock) {spreads her petals, letting her nectar drip through her hand|strokes one of her vines, letting the bulbous tip swell in her hand}] as you turn away. [say: Maybe fertilizing me will help...]

You <i>did</i> get what you wanted... you think. //increase corrupt glade recovery rate or however this works

//subsequent times
You ask Holli if she would[if (dom holli) {n't mind growing [less/more]|[start/stop]}] growing corrupted glades for you.

//dom holli, stopping growth
[say: Why would I do that?] She glances down at you and sighs. [say: [if (haven't fed her) {Maybe if you showed more devotion, I might be willing to overlook your blasphemous request.|But as I am a gracious goddess, I will grant your request.}]]

[if (fed her) {The ground trembles for a second.|Holli disappears into her tree, until only her eyes are visible.} [say: Now go.] //back to her menu, toggle growth if fed

//dom holli, starting growth
[if (haven't fed her) {[say: I could do that.] She glances down at you and sighs. [say: Maybe if you showed more devotion, I might be willing to listen to your request.]|[say: How could I refuse a request like that?]}]

[if (fed her) {The ground trembles for a second. [say: Consider it done.]|Holli disappears into her tree, until only her eyes are visible. [say: Now go.]}//back to her menu, toggle growth if fed

//sub holli
Holli [if (stopping) {doesn't seem pleased with your order, but doesn't dare defy you|immediately brightens up. [say: Of course, [name].]}]

The ground trembles for a second[if (stopping){, and she shrinks inside her tree again|. [say: Have fun!]}].
