[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?

Or living islands.

Or Sentinels! Sentinels were so simple.

Not so simple when they're butchering 16 million people, Alex.

[FML]

That was Cassandra Nova.

[UGH JUST. TOPIC CHANGE.]

Don't dye your hair green too.

[Now he feels bad for her. A million months late.]

Nah, that's your schtick. And everyone's telling me I can't pull off green, anyway.

[Wow, thanks Alex. 8|]

Just pull it off and stick to your other outfits. An ignore what everyone says about your clothes.

You know me, Lorna. I was going to ignore them, anyway.

Good.

Now go find a pair of sunglasses.

Got a pair right here.

Nice ones.

Thanks. Built up your purple wardrobe here yet?

It's getting there.

How're you paying for it anyway? Took me a few weeks of working for Ali before I could properly afford anything.

The tags give you--

Dazzler? You work for Dazzler?

$200 a week's barely enough!

As her bodyguard. Don't ask me why she wanted one.

That's almost cute, Alex.

If I beat you up, will it get you fired?

No, because I have back-up and he's much better suited to fighting you than I am.

[Pause. B|]

Please don't even try.

Then don't be a blork.

I'm a Summers brother, remember? It might be in my blood.

There is no fighting your Summers brother ways.

Yup. I'm genetically challenged alright.

At least you can admit it.
