Re: Alex and Fred:
"Nothing much, brah," Alex said. He knew Fred had made a threat but he hadn't taken it seriously. Not entirely. He was somewhat wary of her but he was also hanging out with people, so far more relaxed. He held a fist out for her to bump, "How many dives you got left?" It was nice paying off the dives because he didn't have to keep track. He did want to know who had nominated him, and while some nominations were public, others were done less so. He would find out eventually.
But it wasn't for vengeance. He'd just know for the future. Maybe figure out how to pay for them to get stuck doing something extra. So maybe a little bit of vengeance, but not to the level he previously attempted that went spiraling out of control.
