[action] the lobby near the dormitories.
[Since arriving and being interviewed, Sollux had spent the entirely of his stay at Balamb Garden curled up in his room. He couldn't sleep - not when he was so wound up and distinctively lacking a recuperacoon. But the outward world was a scary place, and he didn't have very high hopes for it. Despite the fact that his hosts had yet to actually do something terrible to him, it was nigh impossible to put the possibility out of mind.]
[But eventually he goes out, if only to prove to himself that he can and that he's allowed to. He's almost surprised when nobody stops him from leaving the dorms, and once he's to the lobby he's officially out of ideas of what to do with himself. Everyone he's seen is the same, pink skinned alien race he saw in Timber, and he doesn't feel comfortable talking to them. At least not of his own accord.]
[So he finds a slightly concealed area of the lobby and perches himself on it, watching people pass by, and trying to coax himself down from persistent idea that he should be trying to escape. It's not like he actually has anywhere to go.]

How do you know me? ...The other other me, I guess.

He and I began speaking due to a certain game. I doubt it was ever a factor in your version of events, given...well, your age.

[Of course, Sgrub approximated a fairy tale as far as his mind concerned, but one very intertwined with this alternate versions' lives, apparently. He was starting to wonder if his universe was just the odd one out.]

It's... complicated. To put it mildly. My friends and I played in a separate session of the game from the one your alternate's group occupied, and due to a series of catastrophic events best summarized simply as "shenanigans", our two groups had common problems to face.
You-- well, he-- and I had much in common.

Like what?
[He kind of wants to know if they still do - this guy is treating him like a friend, and he wonders what traits made this the case.]
no subject
[David's not really betting on a lot of the original points of interest remaining, but the two Solluxes seem fine enough so far.]
no subject
...Your... [He closes his mouth and tries to think of how to phrase this.] Is your shadow supposed to do that...?
[Honestly, his first bet is something to do with psionics, but he's biased that way.]
no subject
... it's recent, but yes.
[Monstrosities from beyond time and space are sort of not really like psionics.]
no subject
...What is it?
[Psionics don't really happen "recently".]
no subject
... a side-effect of a certain passenger in my head. Power in return for her riding along with me. It's irritating, but it generally works.
[Left out some important details there, David.]
no subject
Is that...a normal thing for humans?
[Like he got the short version of GFs and stuff like that, so maybe this is a thing humans do all the time??]
no subject
[the thing is summonable here. it is the most terrifying GF.]
no subject
[Okay, wow, socializing is hard.]
