The reason for this is because the NPC server is not threaded. It may seem like that, but it really isn't.

HOWEVER:

With GScript2 you have a new alternative, this will probably be easier to understand:

this.fruit = "strawberry";
temp.npc = this.level.putNPC2(somex, somey, "join fruits;");
temp.npc.img = this.fruit @ ".png";

OR:

this.fruit = "strawberry";

with (this.level.putNPC2(somex, somey, "join fruits;"))
{
  this.img = thiso.fruit @ ".png";
}
