You ready your Energy Reserves to feed your BLOOMICATE skill.

DREAD blossom.

You begin with a terrifying DREAD BLOSSOM!

Although the constant screaming is somewhat disconcerting, at least you are making sounds other than gentle rustling.


Creating the DREAD BLOSSOM sapped two CHLOROPLASTIC UNITS from your Energy Reserves.

>CAPTIVATING LUREBLOSSOM

Though the DREAD BLOSSOM is quite an impressive mood-piece, you decide a LURE BLOSSOM might be more useful...

I'll take that as a compliment!

Thanks! [img]images/smilies/icon_party.gif[/img] I didn't notice until you pointed it out; my warmest regards to everyone who's kept this alive so far!

>CAPTIVATING LUREBLOSSOM

You sprout a CAPTIVATING LURE BLOSSOM.

Its enticing aroma perfumes the air and mingles with the blood-curdling screams of the DREAD BLOSSOM.

The effort of growing the LURE BLOSSOM drains two more CHLOROPLAST UNITS from your Energy Reserves.


Well... now what?

Wesley: Dip LEAF into MERCURY PUDDLE

Mercury is good for alien plantlife, right? You dip your BELEAFED TENDRIL into the puddle of NOXIOUS MERCURY.

You have acquired a LEAFFUL O' MERCURY.

Seconded.

Also, this little adventure has taken off, hasn't it? Good job, Thriggle. I'll attribute that to your awesome illustrations.

Aagh! Suggestion overload! [img]images/smilies/icon_heartbeat_green.gif[/img]

> Lick LEAFFUL O' MERCURY

>Eat the MERCURY to gain MERCURY POWERS.

You decide to taste some of the NOXIOUS MERCURY.

TOXILICIOUS! You have acquired the POISONED Action Trait!

>Smear some mercury on that Dread Blossom to get it to shut up.

>Add DELICIOUS MERCURY to LURE BLOSSOM

>Combine LEAFFUL O' MERCURY with CAPTIVATING LUREBLOSSOM to create POISONOUS TRICKBLOSSOM.

You decide to accentuate your BLOSSOMs with some of your NOXIOUS MERCURY.

You stuff the DREAD BLOSSOM's mouth-like aperture with MERCURY and it becomes somewhat less dreadful, and much less annoying. You smear the rest on the LURE BLOSSOM to create a POISONOUS TRICK BLOSSOM.

Throw Mercury at the natives at the ship.

>Fling MERCURY at NATIVES in a show of AGGRESSION

You think you still have enough MERCURY left to chuck at those obnoxious little animals.

Which of the NATIVE ANIMALS would you like to target with your remaining NOXIOUS MERCURY?

You decide that you'll make the biggest impression if you bean the one that seems to be the center of attention over there.
You fling your LEAFFUL O' MERCURY toward the NATIVE ANIMAL on the box.

The NOXIOUS MERCURY splashes into the NATIVE's face in a most satisfying way.

The NATIVE ANIMAL seems ENRAGED.
It glares at you in a most THREATENING MANNER.

One of the other ANIMALs moves in and triggers a crude chemical explosion in your direction.
(Click "Show" to continue.)

SpoilerShow

The ANIMAL's chemical defenses trigger painful EXPLOSIONS in your vicinity.

You lose one CHLOROPLAST UNIT from your Turgidity due to the EXPLOSIONS.
You lose one CHLOROPLAST UNIT from your Energy Reserves due to your POISONED Action Trait.

Perhaps you can ensnare some delicious ANIMALS and start to digest them but not the one covered in NOXIOUS MERCURY.

>Derootify, if possible, and RUN FOR THE GODDAMN HILLS.

There's no way to outrun them; even if you weren't currently enjoying the IMMOBILIZED Action Trait, the fact that these NATIVE ANIMALS have legs gives them an EVOLUTIONARY ADVANTAGE over you in the realm of mobility.

This is not going well.

>ROOTIFY with all your might!
Perhaps you can ensnare some delicious ANIMALS and start to digest them but not the one covered in NOXIOUS MERCURY.

You are about to ROOTIFY deeper into the ground when you are struck by a particularly well-placed CHEMICAL EXPLOSION.

You lose two CHLOROPLASTIC UNITS from your TURGIDITY.

>Counter attack by growing a THORN BERRY and target the ANIMAL with the chemical defense!

>Thornberry, quickly! You need defense and you need it now.

The time has come. Though your name is WESLEY, you summon the impressive NIGEL'S THORNBERRY, draining three of your four remaining CHLOROPLASTIC UNITS from your Energy Reserves.

You lose one CHLOROPLASTIC UNIT from your TURGIDITY due to your POISONED Action Trait. A point is drained from your Energy Reserves to keep you alive.

Your Energy Reserves are now too low to continue fighting. You enter HOMEOSTATIC INANIMATE STANDBY MODE. Until sunrise, when your Energy Reserves will begin replenishing due to your PHOTOSYNTHESIS Action Trait, you can only interact with the world through your BLOSSOMS and BERRIES.

Your DREAD BLOSSOM is nonresponsive. Your POISONOUS TRICKBLOSSOM is Active. Your NIGEL'S THORNBERRY is Active.

You are now NIGEL'S THORNBERRY.

NIGEL'S THORNBERRY

I really want to complain about this joke but as someone who made a joke about how the word gander is homonymic I really don't have anywhere to stand do I.
