[ Jack, meanwhile, hasn't actually bothered to put any green on. He's perplexed to find that this tradition has survived the test of time, and that people in the future don't oppose the idea of pinching people at random. Thankfully, he's pretty sure that all he needs to do is give someone a mean look if they decide to get any funny ideas.
He doesn't intend to visit any of the memorials, but he ends up passing by one set up near his neighborhood while he's on the way to run some errands. He sees one man who stands out both because of his imposing figure and the fact that he's standing apart from the group with a look of utter confusion. Jack's pretty sure he saw this guy at the bar, too, which means it's a safe bet that he's Displaced.
Deciding that he has time to do a good deed for the day, Jack approaches and offers an explanation in a lowered tone. ]
Ireland doesn't exist anymore, so I guess here this holiday's taken on a different meaning.
[ Not that it's stopped people from drinking their sorrows away. ]
