Simple. Not *everything* that they saw was in their heads. 790 egging them on wasn’t part of their hallucinations — he was actively trying to push them over the edge, so to speak. Where they *came* from, or why they were there is another question, but like with any drug trip, part of what you’re seeing is “objective”, part “subjective.”
Also, I think Prince was in their heads as well. If not, then, he would have been consulting with 790 (and the beans would have shown it, as they haven’t shied away from it before). I think that Prince was simply a manifestation of their own paranoid delusions, acting as the “voice inside your head” as it were. Although neither Stan nor Xev had seen him in his powder blue outfit (I don’t think, anyway…he’s wearing the black outfit in “The Beach,” right?). At any rate, it could be that his appearance in his “spiritual” garb (he seems to only wear it while dead) is kind of a representation of what a Christian might regard as the “hand of the devil,” steering people in the wrong direction, though he’s not physically present.
Or not.
