I just have to note the difference here: for beach reading, slutty Holly has brought along a piece of "erotic chick lit" called Good Girl Gone Bad, which she hasn't started but is planning to use for "inspiration" to write something similar. Great in-joke by itself, right? But a non-slutty Holly has brought The World as Will and Representation by Arthur Schopenhauer, 19th century German philosopher and a doorstop of a book. And she and Ian even have a short dialogue giving the basics of his ideas! But I had to laugh just at the contrast between those two - who knew Ivy and her magically long tongue had that much power?
While there are pronounced differences between shy Holly and slutty Holly, her core stays the same. She still is the bookworm writer, the main difference how open she is to wild experiments and her style.
Depending on our decisions, we can get shy Holly, who is virtually unchanged even if she is a relationship. We can also get shy, but a bit encouraged Holly, who is open to some small changes. (Interestingly, once I got her reading erolit in combination with her cute bikini and no Ivy influence)
Then there is consistently encouraged Holly, who is still partly her shy self, but open to alot more experimentation. (She mostly wears her sexy bikini, can have either erolit or philosophy with her and if with Ian can be quite outgoing and flirty)
Finally we have slutty Holly, who has become very open to experimentation and is a wild one. Personally I hope to find a path where we have slutty Holly with a philosophy book at the beach, esp. for the great contrast. As seen in this update, even slutty Holly can get into a relationship with Ian.
