I promise you that this'll be the last one about himself...
I can't have this stuff, it's Arabica coffee. Ever since Fordham, I've gotten a little prejudiced against the Arabs.
F**king idiot...
To all the folks out there, remember that Dad has already explained that Arabica is only a species of coffee, not a nationality.
What?? It's true. Stop staring at me like that. You have to learn to treat women with more respect.
...I stand by my case. You're a f**king idiot.
Dad: I know.
Dad, he hates me.
Right, blame me for being Mom's favorite...

"Coming up next, it's American Idol!"
All of a sudden, I remember why I stopped watching TV...
I bet I could go on forever without a single television set.
Come on! Only one more hit! ...DAMN IT! Stupid boss...

Day 1.
I'm about to die! I need your help, Endrian.
"Oh, Endrian..." "Oh, LemonAde..."
Day 2. Somehow, Moth managed to live through the day.
The Grove is burning down!
"Oh, LemonAde, you set my soul afire. It is not a spark, but a great roaring flame!
Day 3...Endrian helps to make the Grove fun for all!
So...you built a wall around the Grove to keep bad and neutral things out?
Eh...yeah...you have to leave. Bye-bye.

Some time to think about the next strip...
So, I think my next strip will be about...
Moth: Hmm...what to do...
Moth: My God, those eyebrows are manly. How does she live like that?

Moth meets Moth...
What are you doing in my house?
...You look more like me than I do. Still, the fact remains, this is my house.
Confusion in the ranks!
No, I don't. I'm the only Moth here, so you can't be me.
I'm pretty sure I'm the only Moth around here.
The test of endurance and wits...
........Sasafras!!! Darn...
........Sasafras!!! Darn.

Endrian makes his move! Again...
Oh, LemonAde, be mine forever...
Oh, Endrian, you know I can't do that before making things incredibly complicated...
Fumble!
But...I can't live without you!
In time, in time...we must carry on this silly love story for, oh, about three more of your wonderful topics. You know where to find me. Why not regail Moth with our adventures while you wait?
Meanwhile...
(Endrian): You know, Yip and I do all sorts of fantastic things at our secret board! I can't tell you where it is, but I'd be happy to tell you ABOUT it, though. ^_^
Oda Nobunaga8: You know, I'd strangle you right now if I could...

Well, I'm going to go. pikadeth, out!
Wait, no!
Well, since pika's gone, I think I'll get going, myself.
Bye, eey! Hmm...well, if eey's going, I think I will, too...
Hello! Is...anyone...here?
I'm Pikman!

Tempting the Fates.
Dude, Staind - Blown Away is SO much better than Tool - Ænema!
...Tool is my favorite band...
Be prepared.
Oh, man, I'm sorry! I had no idea Tool was your favorite band! I meant to say, Tool kicks Thrice's puny ass!
(^O_O)^ ¬<(<_< v) How would you like to die?
Introducing...Astrud and Nikki!
Hi! We're Astrud and Nikki!
And we're here to tell you that this strip is only two frames long!

Based on a true story. *cue the cinematic theme*
What's going on right now?
Oh, time is standing still, Kit's still fighting Rikku, and Endrian's just waiting.
...Why does this conversation seem so familiar?
Because we had it a week ago.
*apologizes for the reverse nature of this frame*
@_@ DO I EVER?!
Wanna burn the Grove down?

Don't ask about booke. It's nothing, really. >_>
Been a while since I looked at the social boards. Maybe booke is gone...magic fight, huh? Sounds fun.
I never hid the fact that I was lame at first.
Oooooh...this does look like fun! *joins in*
*cheezwhiz cheezwhiz cheezwhiz*
Hey! I'm not supposed to die! Err, I'll...just...say...that I live in Oblivion! Yeah! Now...where next to go...Endrian's Grove? That sounds like a good place to come back from the dead...

 

by SaltpeterTaffy

This is not what someone returned from the dead is supposed to be like...
No. Just...no.
...Perfect.
*poofa*

Endrian (I chose this pic for Endrian on purpose. >_>)
*plays his flute* *does his fancy roleplay thing*
*joins in* Fun!
nebneb(No lizards. This was the best I could do. =\)
Alright, I'm putting this flower here. If you touch it, untold catastrophes will follow. If you kill it, well, it's goodbye universe...
Ooooh...
Attica(Once again, best I could do.)
*pelts Moth with an orange, then runs back into the trees*
Ow! Damn you...<_<...

And on Moth went, to meet more wacky figures, like CaptainSnow and Delilah...
I'm a crusty sea captain with powers of snow! Go figure.
I'm a somewhat depressed, but friendly vampire girl!
...boredtodeath and Galliard...I know Galli's supposed to be a blue wolf, but there are none...
My special powers come from this funky cube...
I'm a big mean wuff, and I look real tuff, but I'm a big ol' softie insiiiiide...
...and, most notably, Kit...no fox-girls, either...~_~
She may be a damn good roleplayer...
...but I still brought about the doom of the original Grove! I didn't want to, though... ;_;

So Endrian would make his songs, and all would rejoice...
Hmm...How about...Serenade for a Rogue-Hunter?
*completely oblivious to the fact that said rogu-hunter is an alt of Yip* Sounds good to me.
Hey, I found a better nebneb!
And today, the Bolero of Summer!
*suns himself on a rock* ^__________^
I'll go into each individual song over the next few strips...
Today seems like a good day for the Mazurka of Winter.
SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!!

It was all very new, and, having never roleplayed before, I didn't know what to do...
*throws Endrian into a tree*
*facepalm*
I got the hang of it, eventually...
He reached out, and grabbed Endrian's hand. With a snap of the wrist, Endrian was sent hurtling into the mighty oak nearby.
*facepalm*
Good thing Galliard was there. >_>
*long-winded speech on what cheezwhizzing is and isn't*
*argues*

Summer is where it got fun, once our bearings were straight.
*starts a campfire*
Warm... ^____^
*hiding in the trees, throwing twigs at everyone*
Man, I wish she didn't start the fire in the Grove... *repairs the Grove of all damage in the morning*
*staring into space, going on about the stars*

Winter kicked ass. I can't remember Autumn...
Wah! Run away!!
Hell, no! This is my kind of game! *summons up a few snowballs, and has them seek out their targets*
I almost forgot about PsyJack. ;;>_>
Ha! *hurls a snow boulder*
*tossing snowballs the normal, human way*
*consumes a telekinesis potion, and creates an army of snowballs orbiting him, and flying out in every diection* PWNED
S-so...c-c-cold...

 

by SaltpeterTaffy
7-25-04
This was an awkward moment... ;o_o
*kisses Endrian on the forehead* Pass it on!
O_O;; Err, okay... *passes it on to Attica*
@_@ *licks Moth*
Eww... @_@ *passes it back to Kit*
Needless to say, the game ended here...
*passes it back to Moth again*
<_< HEY!

Meet Henry David Thoreau...
I would bathe in the waters of Walden. It was a religious experience...
He spent a long time obsessing over Walden Lake. It drove him to madness.
My only regret was that I missed my family. That night, I wept for my wife...
You know, the last person that came up to me didn't live to see civilization again. He will forever bathe in the holy waters of dear Walden...say, would you have any acorns on you? I'm starving.
This is NOT my dad...*looks at the picture he took with him* Ah, f**k.

Meet Enzo. He's a late entry to the Grove, but he was unique...
*click, whirr, scan, other noises of machination*
Once each day, he'd come along and destroy the Grove, which Endrian didn't like, but Enzo did a good job of it. After that, he'd disappear.
DESTROY DESTROY DESTROY DESTROY *ruin the grove, ruin the grove*
*facepalm* *fixes the Grove entirely, as if nothing happened*
He left, and instead of annoying Endrian anymore, Enzo went on to make a spoof of the Grove known as Enzo's Grave...what a psycho...
*hacks off Kit's arm with a meat cleaver*
*uses the dripping blood for a Satanic ritual*

One day, Kit was singing loudly about bananas or something, and the birds were flying away because of it.
*loud singing*
*birds flying away*
Just then, she was pulled into a hole by a parasitic monster! What will happen to her?!
Ahh! *pulled into a hole*
Well...it's not pretty.
You know very well that this marks the point where the Grove goes irrevocably downhill, right?
Uh-huh...

 

by SaltpeterTaffy
9-15-04
Meanwhile...
Kit, no!!!! I've got to go in and save her!
*jumps into the hole, with, apparently, no regards for the rules of roleplaying*
*climbs down the hole*
Moth: *goes down the hole even faster than Endrian, with a light following him, no less*
Yet, despite this, I was held back, because I wasn't allowed to save Kit. >_>
*is pushed back by a wall of flesh* What the hell? Endrian didn't have to put up with this.
Endrian[sing-song]: I'm on my way, Kit!!! <3

 

by SaltpeterTaffy
9-15-04
Bad idea, Moth...
*shocks the wall of flesh, but it snaps back, thanks to cheezwhiz* Damnit! I'm just going to sit down and meditate.
Yep. Bad idea.
*scab begins forming around the meditation orb* Gah...it doesn't end, does it?
Meanwhile, back where the action is...my malice shows.
*sounding like the parasite* You have to save...those things...or Kit dies!
Oh...those NPC's I thought up on the fly? I'll let Moth handle that. He'd interfere with the story if he had any interaction with us, the main characters.

 

by SaltpeterTaffy
9-15-04
So Captain Snow ended up being the one to save the NPC-things...they were called Brill.
Right this way, folks!
*grumble murmur other unintelligible sound effects*
bored and Moth set out to destroy the monster...
*smashes the parasite with the cube dealie*
*splatters the parasite with his Blood Hammer*
And Endrian was the hero. The Grove would never be the same...
See? I saved you, just like we rehearsed.
Right. We must now plan our next staged act...a really devastating one! We have Galliard's support, right?

I really mean it. This is the penultimate chapter. The Grove dies in this chapter, though.
Okay, Kit, I want you now to take over complete control of the storyline, and run it into the ground as quickly as possible, okay?
Sure thing, Endrian! Anything for the only, undeniable main character of the Grove! Because what we want to happen to the Grove, despite everyone else's warnings, is right, and is good for the Grove.
And it won't be destroyed because of you, RIGHT, KIT?! >_> ......Sorry. I'm still a bit passionate about the incident. I miss the Grove so...
So, what plans do you have in mind for what I'm absolutely sure won't destroy the Grove?
WELL, Endrian, I'm going to have my angry uncle, Rikku, attack the hell out of me. THEN, you have your little cretin, Endy, offer to fight him to the death, with all sorts of flashy effects.
I warned them and warned them, and they just didn't listen.
So...this won't destroy the Grove?




...Right. Screw everyone else, we're the main characters!
Well, it will, but you don't care about the Grove's well-being now, right?

 

by SaltpeterTaffy
8-25-05
This is Rikku. He's angry at Kit for leaving the pack., and has come to retrieve Kit for tribunal and punishment.
Grr, I'm angry! Look at my angry face! I want to bite you!
Naturally, Kit resists. Rikku also name-drops at this point.
YOU MUST PAY FOR YOUR INSOLENCE!!!!

By the way, everyone, did you know that her real name was Kohorru?
No! I like it here! And he's right, my real name is Kohorru. ^_^
You'd think the storyline is what destroys the Grove. It's not. It's a large part, but it's not the catalyst. Anyway, Endy and Rikku get it on. Meanwhile...
I'll save you!! *sics Endy on Rikku*
*sips O.J. from a straw*

I argued with Galliard about what they were doing. He was no help. ¬_¬
Galli, this centralized storyline is going to ruin the Grove! Everyone else is being left out!
Blah blah blah Kit's a vet and you're not blah blah blah this is the right thing to do blah blah blah I'm blue, damnit, not brown!
Most of the others just watched the fight.
Ooooh...
Man...
Endrian patted himself on the back for a job well done. Back at Yip's place. Probably under some sheets. I'm not angry at all, honest.
Oh, LemonAde, darling, how could I ever live without you?
Oh, Endrian, you stallion. *giggle*

 

by SaltpeterTaffy
8-25-05
Noting the destruction of the Grove by it's own creator, Attica got a plan to help them along...
Let's set the Grove on fire!
Sure, why not?
So I followed her around, preparing to aid her in the destruction of the Grove, but...
*jumping through the trees towards the scene of the fight*
*follow follow follow*
...then it happened...
*jumping around in place, unable to go further, or back, for that matter*
Is it just me, or is NOTHING HAPPENING AT ALL?!

Kit stopped posting. Entirely. Plum disappeared. No Kit, no Rikku. No Rikku or Kit, no storyline. No storyline, with other people still waiting on Kit's action, one dead Grove.
It turns out that her computer fried. She wasn't around for months after that, only posting once a week. The Grove came to a complete standstill, after what was once a topic a day.
It wasn't long before the Grove purged. Kit came back, but things just weren't the same...
......this. Sucks.

 

by SaltpeterTaffy
8-25-05
After that incident, we parted ways. I found the Playhouse, Endrian went back to...playing around with LemonAde, and Kit sorta disappeared.
*posty post post* *gives out his email address for the first time in RI, and, by doing so, sets into motion numerous chains of events*

*poofa*
There were numerous attempts to restart the Grove, but none of them came even close to the success and glory of the original. Oh, well. We'll still have the memories, for better or worse. ^_^
GROVE GROVE GROVE!!!! ^____^




...Oh, who am I kidding? This place sucks.
The End
...I'm a little teapot, short and stout. This is my handle, this is my spout. When I get all steamed up, hear me shout "Tip me over and pour me out!"

Thank you, thank you.
