Epilogue

Top o' the mornin' to ya this fine St. Patty's Day. Grab your cap and lace up your boots hon, because we're of to the pub for some fine ol' fun. Virbank City Gym would be the classic Irish pub, and is the center-piece for this deck alongside our hard working Irishman Sceptile EX McDonald.

Heading straight to the bar with Sceptile isn't always going to be your best move, you're going to want to check you tab first, because if you're running low on loot, then you're likely to be going home early. There's no need to rush the ale unless you're in a hurry and playing first. Otherwise, you shouldn't start drinking until you've got some food in your belly. So sit back—and enjoy yourself some corned beef and cabbage first. That would be the steak and potatoes for the Irishman, and we can find them in both Carnivine and Venipede. They'll reserve us a seat at the bar and get the festivities going for us.

Once the drinks start to kick in—the shenanigans can begin. Just give your opponent a sneaky peck on the shoulder with [Unseen Claw], then respond to them with a "Suuure you did, and I bet you saw pink elephants too." when they say that they swear that they felt something. If the luck of the Irish is truly with us, we'll be able to repeat this trick for some laughs all night.

When your glass starts looking a little empty, just call up the barkeep Misty, who's determined to keep your glass full to the brim and frosty cold as long as you're under her roof. Everyone drinks from a Golden mug in this pub on Saint Patrick's Day. It's for good luck—and the golden foam sure looks good when the barkeep tops it off and presents it to us in all its glory.

At about this time, the buzz should really be kicking in, and that's when it's time to find yourself a friend and start up an Irish drinking song. Amoongus is our right hand man for this, he can be a bit of a dick sometimes—but he's always good for jolly song. The uproar from our jolly song is sure to add to the shenanigans, as it catches some of our fellow drunks off guard. Nothing to start a fight over though, despite the surprise, they're sure to welcome the song and join in on the fun until everyone's spirits are as high as the sky.

On the way home, make sure to beware of any Leprechauns. If they catch you drunk on Saint Patrick's Day, they're sure to torment you (as he was a saint). Of course, if you show one that you've got a piece of the Blarney Stone—they might do you a service and torment of your family rivals instead. The Blarney Stone is sacred to Ireland, so we want to keep its luck with our main man.

And of course, if all else fails, you can give it an ole chuck over the Leprechaun's head—then run for it as fast as you can back home. So long as the luck of the Irish is with you, you'll make it home alright, and you won't come back to the pub tomorrow to find that you've run your tab up too far past its limit.
