29. Reaction to sudden extrapersonal disaster (eg The house is on fire! What do they do?)
Alex is exceptional at handling extrapersonal disasters from his long history of being forced to think on his feet. He Takes Action. He does not sit in the corner and cry. When he wants something, or when something has to be done, he does it. He is a do-er.


30. Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)
Alex is completely numb, in a bad damaged way, to intrapersonal disasters, what with his mom dying, his dad leaving, bad foster homes, being homeless, having all kinds of undiagnosed mental issues, etc. He makes an effort, both subconsciously and consciously, to make sure no other humans can hurt him, by accident or on purpose. I guess the only person still really cares about is Herc and maybe Eliza. He would take it really bad. Break down, get so fucked up he blacked out, cause a lot of trouble, take a lot of drugs. And he would obviously blame the person.

34. Thoughts on privacy? (Are they a private person, or are they prone to ‘TMI’?)
Extremely private, pretends not to be. Most people think he tends to talk about himself a lot, because he just goes on about whatever he wants, but when they try to actually name things they know about him, they realize he hadn’t actually said anything.

Oftentimes does this to gross people out. For example, if you try to give him a hard time about his habits (be it his sex habits, his overwork, his drinking.. literally anything), you can’t shame him. he’ll just be like “you clearly just don’t understand how good it is to get your ass pounded so good you forget your own name. i know a guy though.”
