Welcome, fresh meat Newcomers and Oldcomers alike! You have overcome incredible odds and terrible RNG to get this far! So take a moment to catch your breath, kick back and say hello to your fellow adventurers! Simply fill out the following form with as much (or as little?) information as you'd like and reply below. Then feel free to wander around and hit up the other introductions. And have fun! Yes, that's an order!
In slightly more seriousness, Wash hasn't dealt with Alex's particular flavor of paranoia, but he would have some tips on how to deal with paranoia in general. He also counts as a reasonable adult on a good day!
(Also, if he finds out Alex doesn't have combat experience, he will absolutely rope him into combat training. That is What Wash Does.)
"Providing combat training for people who have none" is turning out to be a lot of what Wash does here, so he will absolutely train Alex how to fight! He's also studying magic, so he may be able to provide a little bit of insight there.
The first step in dealing with paranoia is figuring out if something really is out to get you :Db
Wash's insight is a bit more "how magic works in this world" and a bit less "'So You've Made A Pact With An Otherworldly Entity' Captain America Meme," but he'll try! It'll be the blind leading the blind, but that's some good comedy.
Well, you're alive here, so you've come out ahead of the game.
I will say that Red vs Blue is kind of Pop Culture Reference Hell, so if Alex starts explaining the Rube Goldberg Machine murders, there might be a Final Destination reference in the prose; that said, it won't be to Alex's face, and Wash isn't going to recognize him as a character from a Final Destination movie, so. No direct fourth walling, if you're okay with that!
Aw heck, never thought I'd get fourth wall offers, cool, honestly! Yeah, I'm quite familiar with RvB so that makes total sense! I am absolutely okay with that!

Also tips on paranoia. Honestly the idea of Wash giving him advice is so soft.

What if something's already tried to kill you and succeeded, what then.
