[The troll in the wheelchair doesn't seem as interested as the rest of the world as his companion is. He's more interested in the geography book in his lap, mismatched eyes focused entirely on the words. A bit different than Alternian, but he's a quick learner.
The only thing that seems to catch his attention is when Signless leans down to whisper to him. Even if this is a dream, or an illusion, or even a hallucination brought about by finally losing his mind, he'd always pay attention when his leader speaks.]
[ Signless lets him read for the most part, knowing about Artollo's curiosity towards everything, his desire to learn. He parks the wheelchair under a tree eventually, helping the Psiioniic out to sit on the garden divider that doubles as a bench, and then looks up at the fading sun with a little sigh.
He reaches out to ruffle his companion's hair a little after a few minutes, smiling. ]
I hope the light is a little easier on your eyes now?
[There's only a little bit of complaint when Signless moves him, and then the Psiioniic is right back into his book.
...Except when surprise hair ruffle happens.]
Gah-! Quit it! [All flush and tsuning over here now, Signless, and it's all your fault.] I'm... better. It thtill hurtht a bit, but not ath bad ath before.
[Gamzee is quick to find the two. He finds their appearances familiar immediately. One looks like Sollux and the other looks like a certain moirail of his. He's already well-informed of the fact that alternate versions of his friends are lurking about, so he doesn't assume that these are completely different people. Rather, he thinks the opposite.
Thus, he trails up behind up and gives them one big, loud:]
[ ...........Well, he doesn't seem to be inclined to kill anyone. Signless recaptchalogues the sickle. Old habits die hard when it comes to some of the highbloods he's had personal brushes with. ]
I made them, as my guardian did for me before. But I do believe you've mistaken me for someone else. Might I have your name?
[Still looking for her defective cat, a catnip ball rolling between her hands, Vriska looks far from happy. How hard was it to find a fat, stupid cat? Maybe she should just get Nepeta to look but that would mean asking for help...
Oh. She sees Psiioniic before she sees Signless and purely out of curiosity walks briskly towards them. She had seen Signless before, knowing her memory failed her when it came to their past together, just like with Redglare. Still, she acted like nothing was out of the ordinary.]
Oh good, I thought we needed another Captor in this place.
[He'd been more than happy to just ignore the next troll to come up to them, with his book starting to pointedly rise up further in a silent kind of 'fuck off'.
But of course Signless would start a conversation. Dammit.
Artollo sighs and gives a small nod, lowering the book with his psionics.]

And you did not even try to contact me when you arrived? How rude. Here I thought I was the only one around to play with the students.
To make a lady wait, I am so appalled by such manners. But I forgive you two of course because it has been so long.
[Casually walks up and is probably in your personal space because she is too busy looking at you closely.
Apparently she's acquired X-ray vision along...with well...being able to see. It's like a little kid being given a toy. She can't stop trying to look at shit.]
[It seems to be Balamb tradition that every few weeks something baffling occurs in the Quad that Sollux is literally forced to stop and stare at.]
[This is one of those occasions.]
[Of course, half a minute later he's defaulted to stalking them around, trying to figure out what the fuck he's seeing, but it's about five minutes before he actually approaches.]
[He kind of looks like a deer caught in headlights about it, slinking up from behind them.]
[For once, instead of defaulting to "hide behind book, hope social contact goes away", the Psiioniic actually looks up. Because, that voice seems strangely familiar...
His expression quickly mirrors the double in front of him. Sure, Artollo has more scars and is currently stuck in a wheelchair, but besides that...
[ KDJSFLKJKLSJDA OMG! THE LITTLE SUBJUGGLATOR TOLD HIM THEIR DESCENDANTS WERE HERE AND HERE IS ONE RIGHT NOW
Stay caaaaaaalm, Signless. This is so exciting though. ]
I suppose you would be.......Sollux, was it? Gamzee mentioned as much. And if I'm correct, I believe you would be Artollo's descendant. [ He paps Artollo's shoulder a little, an unspoken "no need for sarcasm." ]

[Gamzee doesn't know the meaning of personal space. Thus, he goes right for the cloak, takes it in his hands, and examines it closely.]
