When he logged out of DGO Alex had been exhausted and immediately fell asleep, between DGO and Maribel he simply had no energy left. This turned out to maybe be a poor choice. When he finally woke up in the morning he found that he couldn’t get his hands off his face... they were stuck there... by duct-tape. A muffled scream echoed through his dorm room and he blindly thrashed and collapsed to the carpeted floor.
Alex quickly scrambled unsteadily to his feet and used his memory to stumble into the bathroom and then the shower, using his elbows to have the hottest shower he could bare, using the heat and steam to melt the adhesive of the tape. Peeling the tape off he had red marks on his face, stripping the wet clothes off he did his best to get rid of any traces of tape from him.
Feeling unbelievably better after the shower Alex went put on a fresh uniform and started on breakfast. Scrambled eggs and bacon, that will make me feel better. As he started cooking Alex felt weird... he was worried about who would tape his hands to his face, especially since he did his best to avoid antagonising people in the real world, hell interacting with people was kept to a minimum...
...Maribel? Would she really do this? Curious Alex opened up his messager and wrote.
To: Maribel HarperFrom: Alex ColemanSubject: Duct Tape?-------
Hi Bel
Did you duct tape my hands to my face? I only ask because you’re really the only person I’ve had contact with recently. It also means that you’ve watched me sleep... which is a little weird... Did I sleep talk? I didn’t say anything embarrassing did I?
Kindest Regards,
Alex Coleman

@TheWindelHitting send he received a general message about there being a school assembly
Well, alright then, I better get sorted After cleaning up after himself Alex grabbed his old music player and the pink headphones Bel brought him and headed out.
As he walked he realised that he had forgotten Nies! She could be in Verdant’s sights! Plus he ditched her! Embarrassed he quickly drafted a message.
To: Nies HellumFrom: Unrelenting JukeboxSubject: Sorry about yesterday-------
Hi Nies
Sorry about yesterday, I ditched you and that was awful of me. You might recall that we were supposed to be scouting Black City? Well our King wanted a report and he isn’t very patient... I realise that it isn’t an excuse, but I do hope it explains why I left without a trace.
Just in case you might want to not go looking for our Green King for a while. He wasn’t to pleased with what I had to say...
Sorry again and Kindest Regards,
Unrelenting Jukebox -------
@CaitsSending one more time, Alex walked to Purple Crown for the assembly enjoying his music and ignoring those around him.
