007. [video] backdated to 17 march, yesterday

[cry-andletloose.livejournal.com]

[The video flickers on to show the inside of a pub, with pints of beers all around and a generally jovial atmosphere. Almost everyone is wearing green and if you listen you can hear very strong Irish accents all around. Shamrocks are everywhere. Alex and Scathach are in Ireland! For St Paddy's Day!

Alex is dressed in a garish, lime-green tank top with an olive-green shirt worn loosely over. It clashes horribly because Alex has no sense of fashion.]

Scott, you sly old dog. The weather here in Ireland's great, nothing like Alaska at all. The parades are great even if I don't understand the accent half the time.

Wish you guys were here-- I heard there's another zombie outbreak in the City again. Is everyone okay? [He frowns at this; it's clear he's been trying not to worry about it.] Scatty and I can't do anything about it from here, Scott's ordered us on a forced holiday from Tuesday to Friday, but the clinic's still gotta be open and I know there are a couple of healers there. General advice-- some solid roundhouse punches and kicks should daze them long enough for you to get out of there, or get help from someone who can effectively take them down. Has that zombie in the Institute been dealt with yet? And Josh, are you alright?

[Pause, then he mutters under his breath:] Right, right, I'm on holiday. Scott can deal with it back home.

We'll be heading to the Isle of Skye tomorrow by plane-- that's Scatty's island, the myths all have to do with her. She's been chatting up everyone in Irish ever since we got here, and some people actually recognise her. It's nuts. It's like dating Abraham Lincoln or something and visiting Washington.

[Scathach is in the background chatting with some locals in a dialect that is definitely not English, and they're all having an uproariously good time, largely oblivious to Alex's...gawking.]

Right then. We'll be back on Friday. Don't anyone dare die, you hear?

Private to Lorna:
Did you know people here actually dye their hair green just for today? You'd fit right at home here.

Private to Madelyne Pryor:
Hey. The zombies didn't get you, did they?

[apocalypsewench]

Yes, I knew that.

Having a good time, Alex?

Private;

[cry-andletloose.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Yeah, a very good time actually. It was Scott's idea. [Pause because hm Gambit said she might still have feelings for him asklsfldf. What's a safe topic what's a safe topic-- oh.]

Hey, I have a question. Green goes with green, right? Alison seems to think otherwise.

Private;

[apocalypsewench]

Aren't you two a happy couple.

Only if it's the right shades. So...not in your case, Alex.

Private;

[cry-andletloose.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, 's not really important anyway.

[Only somewhat cautiously-- by the end of the sentence he's just talking normally.] Yeah. We've been together since December, and she's pretty much Irish so it helps getting around here.

[meowminx]

Alex. Just because two things are green doesn't mean they go together.

[cry-andletloose.livejournal.com]

They don't?

[meowminx]

Looking at that ensemble doesn't hurt your eyes?

[idateforsupper]

What Selina said. Oh my god, Alex.

[cry-andletloose.livejournal.com]

What?! Ali, green is green.

[idateforsupper]

Ohmigod.

Okay, you're wearing LIME green for one. And those are two completely different shades! You look tacky!

there i guess

[symmachy]

[Glances up from her conversation and stares. IN HER EXCITEMENT SHE DID NOT SEE WHAT HE WAS WEARING THIS MORNING, OBVIOUSLY.]

Alex. What are you wearing?

[action]

[cry-andletloose.livejournal.com]

Green! It's St Patrick's Day!

[action]

[symmachy]

[Pause. She can't help but smile. Will be try to be gentle about telling him how horribly he's dressed.]

You are certainly wearing... a lot of it. In many shades.

[prettymorlock]

Mr. Summers....


WHY are you wearing that?

Were you attacked and someone stole all your clothes or something?

[cry-andletloose.livejournal.com]

[linefaces]

Now you sound just like Ali, Sally.

[prettymorlock]

Why thank you!


But seriously, were you? We can send you more. Or you could buy some. Preferably not green.

I thought the Isle of Skye was Scottish?

Assuming it's the same as our universe, try to see the waterfall by Kilt Rock, that flows directly into the sea. It's pretty.

[cry-andletloose.livejournal.com]

It is, but since we're in the region, we managed to plot out a travel route that'll take us there from Ireland where we are now.

Thanks for the tip, Megan. Have you been there before?

[soultospare.livejournal.com]

Just on vacation once when I was a kid. I think I remember thinking it was boring, but that could just be because I wasn't allowed to stay up late or go to pubs, so we mostly just had a lot of picnics and petted those big Highland cows.

Have a great time!

[Private]

[medea-recast.livejournal.com]

I'm still here, Alex.

[Private]

[cry-andletloose.livejournal.com]

Good to know, Maddie. Stay safe.

[Private]

[medea-recast.livejournal.com]

I... I will.

Alex... I think we may need to talk when you get back. As soon as you get back.

That is how we're going to defeat the rest of the zombies. We're going to show them you dressed like that. They'll surely kill themselves for good.

[cry-andletloose.livejournal.com]

Very funny, big brother. Since when was fashion part of your battle strategies?

[thing4telepaths.livejournal.com]

Oh, I thought you always used fashion as a strategy. Namely, to make your opponents laugh and get distracted.
