>>14921191Different strokes. I don't know what else to tell you.>>14920910Gardener Grover was a man in his late 70's who wasn't all *there*, frankly because he suffered one too many violent blows to the head in his younger years, now he roams Route 4 as nothing but a shadow of his former self.
His former self being a salacious child molester with a disgusting libido for little boys their little shorts, not that you need to know that.
Now with the many donks to the head he has, he's gone under the assumed identity of a children's puppeteer slash manager of Route 4's so-so garden.
His name isn't even Grover, either. It's more like an "assumed label" of his.
"Uh, hello?" you ask, his back is turned to you.
You tap his shoulder as he tends to a bunch of daffodils. He reacts to the touch in an instant, "WHAT WHAT WHAT--"
But it is the puppet that speaks, not the withering man controlling it, "Ohhh, just a bunch of kids. Sorry about that, I thought you were more solicitors, ah ha ha ha!~ Just don't step on the flowers and everything will be preachy-peachy, okay?"
Normally you'd walk away because the day hasn't even started yet and things are diving into the weird zone, but you figure a few questions to this frequenter of the area shouldn't hurt. At least not too much.
A) Ask him why the puppet is speaking for him.
B) Ask him about the fork in the road up ahead.
C) Ask him if there's anything he can give you for free since he's just a useless NPC.
