oui, le time skip

in all honesty, Alex was faintly relieved when the revelation came about that they'd all been mindwiped -- faking that he was in on some bigger plan while Darcy interrogated him for more info was starting to get stressful.

Finding out the reason he'd decided to be part of the experiment was more distressing, combined with the ID card he'd found among the pile of the World's Worst Pokemons. Not that he's told anybody, yet.

Instead Alex worked on figuring out more about his duplication power, and over the year and a half, Sasha (the polite nerd) and Xandi (the party monster) have been able to maintain integrity for longer and longer stretches, even having experiences that Alex isn't aware of until they reabsorb back into him.

While Sasha helped Selin and Lindi with organizational stuff, and Xandi did ... whatever Xandi did, Alex decided to keep busy exploring with Zaid and Lokni whenever they felt like some company on their jaunts.

He also "kept busy" with Adarsh whenever they found the time, although somehow they always seemed to get interrupted before getting down to full on business.

Alex has also gone on a number of smaller, less honourable jaunts solo -- or at least, with his own dupes as companions. Because while survival does keep you busy, sometimes spying on your fellow survivors is the thing that keeps you going.

Growing up in Hollywood North afforded Alex plenty of acting and singing and performing opportunities, easy enough if you were talented and didn't mind putting yourself out there and making peace with the sacrifices you'd have to make; but it also meant that before long, everything was distorted by a sticky, filmy layer of fomo. Why wasn't I at that restaurant opening/club event/liquor promo/designer fingerpaint popup?? Alex had a robust fan following, social media everywhere, but it just never seemed enough.

Until We The Survivors came along, and Alex, chirpy and personable and ambiguously ethnic and possibly queer but coy about it, landed the job as the ubiquitous host of the reality survival show. It ran for eight glorious seasons, some better than others but all of them with viewer count through the roof, and Alex carved out his niche -- a sizeable niche -- in the consumer heart as well with his line of Panganex products. Fashion, lifestyle, podcast, workouts, even a pretty successful line of compostable party accoutrements made of pressed leaves and so forth, the whole survivalist theme.

And even when We The Survivors ended, there was the spinoff. Alex and three of the fan favourite competitors, in their new show We Lived, which had been happily in the promo appearance stages when Alex took a little time off for himself. You haven't had a real vaycay in fifteen years or so, he told himself. Kicking back for a hot minute? Why not?
