[knowlogram]

Oh.

[He glances back at the portrait, face darkening a bit.]

YEAH, that's him. Or another iteration of the same person, the multiverse can get a little weird.

[ordinarythings]

Oh...would it be too forward to ask what one version of him did to become your nemesis?

[knowlogram]

Oh, you know, just CRUSHING MY DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS with his RELENTLESS MEDIOCRITY-

[deep breath]

I'm okay! I'm ok.

[ordinarythings]

...mediocrity? Did you use to work together?

[knowlogram]

Something like that. I'd rather not go into details.

[ordinarythings]

I won't pry, then. What about the purple one with the similar name, is he okay?

[knowlogram]

Waluigi is an officer and a gentleman. ...not- not literally, he's not part of any military or nobility.

[ordinarythings]

Well, that's good to know. [A pause] Do you know why some people are apparently getting an outfit like his from that machine in the store?

[knowlogram]

Hm. Probably because even creepy clown trolls sometimes have good taste?

[ordinarythings]

So you don't have any influence over his stock, then? Not even as a suggestion?

[knowlogram]

I'm pretty sure I could not, even if I wanted to. Gamzee is an agent of pure chaos, I'm not sure he even really listens to my bosses.

[ordinarythings]

...huh. Do you know how he got in here, then? I'm guessing not the same way we were brought in?

[knowlogram]

He was here when I was activated.

[ordinarythings]

...oh. And you weren't given any instructions about that?

[A pause] Oh, and...whose idea was the version of that game I got? Yours, or your creators'?

[knowlogram]

He's here to man the Gachapon and be creepy, that's all I know.

[FORCE OF CHAOS, Surolam.]

Oh, the accessibility features? How'd those work out, it seems like you did okay.

[ordinarythings]

They were definitely helpful! Especially changing the colors to contrast better with each other.

[knowlogram]

Great! We wanted to make sure you'd be able to participate well enough for, you know, it to mean anything.

[ordinarythings]

Yeah, thank you for that. When you say "we," how many people are you talking about?

[knowlogram]

Me and my bosses. ...More me, in this case, maybe.

[ordinarythings]

Well, in that case, I suppose an extra helping of gratitude for you is appropriate, then?
