>drops into the circus and panics
>immediately thinks he is in transdimensional hell and spends half an hour ranting and raving about how he is going to kill Caine as he believes Caine is the literal demonic embodiment of Caine from the Bible
>only after 2 crazy Caine induced adventures does he finally fully calm down and accept he is stuck in the circus and becomes withdrawn
>he ends up befriendimg Kinger as he is the only member of the cast he can ramble off and springboard his stream of concious off without trying to get away from him as Kinger is only half lucid of the conversation and occasionally blurts out a non-sequitur that Alex thinks is secretly profound
>he starts to come into conflict with Zooble as whenever Gangle gets anxious he immediately tries to give one of his manic hype man speeches while pushing her into insane situations which only freak her out more, Alex is completely unaware of Zoobles disdain throughout the show
>Ragatha attempts to ground him multiple times on differemt adventures when he gets conspiratorial which only fuels the fire and makes him break into diatribes about his "vast knowledge" much to Jax's amusement
>Pomni goes out of her way to avoid Alex at all costs and voices her concerns with Zooble from time to time and whether he is an abstraction in the making
>Jax finds him funny at first and deliberately feeds into his mania, but soon comes to realize that Alex is delusional but not stupid as Alex sees through what he is doing and starts to socially as well as physically intimadate Jax regulary
>all of this pushes Zooble, Pomni and Jax to all agree that Alex is dangerous and they go to Caine to explain something must be done about him
>however, by the time they reach Caine Alex has discovered the out of bounds and is fucking around with the very reality of TADC itself
>Alex goes insane and twists the code of TADC so much that Caine bricks and fucking dies from the sheer amount of code errors while TADC blue screens
