All Hallow's Eve
All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween as it has been come to be called, is a popular holiday with children and adults alike. It is a holiday that had its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain or Summer's End. Samhain celebrated the end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half".

On this evening the barriers between this world and the Otherworld were believed to be thin and the spirits, good and bad, of the dead could pass through. The spirits of the family's ancestors were welcomed in while evil and bad spirits were warded off by the wearing of masks and costumes. The costumes and masks disguised one as a harmful spirit and avoided harm from others.

It was also a harvest celebration and time to take stock of food stores for the winter. Livestock were slaughtered and the meat prepared for storage. It was the final harvest of the year and the crops were then stored for the winter. Celebrations included bonfires and tales of the family's ancestors.

It was a celebration of the dead and of the harvest.

Today we dress up in scary and not so scary costumes and masks and go door to door for candy or attend costume parties. It is a night for revelry, pranks and fun.

	"Har, har," he says, not really mad. Huh? Another gumdrop. He turns away from the ladies in order to pick it up. "It works? How effective we talking, Tim?" Josh says, trying to pick the gumdrop from under the table, unaware how he looked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It works," Tim said. "Want a demonstration? I'll be happy to give one." he asked lighting up. He suddenly took interest in the beer in his hand since he didn't want to see Josh bending over. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Val looked over at Lena with raised eyebrows and used the red card as a fan. She suddenly needed a drink. A big one. "Oh yes, please do Tim." She grinned at Lena. "Let's demonstration of the saber'd be wonderful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lena looked back at Val with a raised eyebrow and a 'well daaamn' expression. Then she winked. "Here, want to try the gun and-oops!" The gun just happened to shoot a few gumballs straight at the very tight ass on display. "Sorry Josh! Could you catch those? They're running away," she says with an innocent look then smirks and hands Val the gun and mouths 'easy target'.

Understanding Val's grin as 'Tim's next', Lena smiles innocently at Tim. "She's right. Always better to see it in action. Makes sure it's what the packaging said."

	"Wow you built lightsaber," Brad says who was stopping by before going to the flight crews Halloween party. He was dress up as a classic WWI pilot because why not. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She wasn't the most social of the SHIELD agents, though she was trying. That's why she was there...and she wasn't what anyone would call creative....so all she'd done was dig in a supply closet until she found one of those generic "Hello! My name is" and filled in the blank space with "Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." and stuck it on her chest. It was the best she could do.

Josh almost had the little bastard before he felt the stings on his upturned butt.

"Ow! Dang it, Lena!" He sees the gumballs and reaches after them, causing the shorts to ride up a little tighter. "I'll get these but I'm not picking any more up!"

Tim started to set up the items for demonstration when Nikki and Brad came in. "I did," he said as he went in the cooler to get them some beers. He handed a raspberry to Nikki and an amber brew to Brad. "Happy Halloween!"

She raised her eyebrow at that but took the beer. Beer made everything better, "You guys really went all out...I'd hate to see what you'd do with any more down time.."

Val was focusing on drinking to keep from bursting into snickering at Lena's antics. Taking the gun, she popped one into the air to see if she could catch it in her mouth. She waved at in between Nikki and Brad as they joined the party. "Come join the fun! Timmy-Wan Kenobi is about to show us his laser-sword!"

He should be working on the Ghelinski files, not cavorting around, but somehow he got talked into it. This Halloween party, especially one in the labs, was one that was so very against regulation.

But, when in Rome...enjoy the savagery.

So Steve shows up, his normal suits in place with a bed sheet tied around his neck like a cape and a plastic Captain America shield on his arm.

"Uhh...hi? Sorry I'm late."

"So when do the ladies break out the ones," Brad says as he takes the beer. He loved how little people cared about his age here. If mom found out though things might be bad.

Tim wheeled a granite block into the middle of the lab. He noticed they had someone new. "Steve. Beer's in the cooler." He nodded toward the huge unit in the back of the lab.

"Okay. This is a granite block. Watch this." He pulled his lightsaber out and activated it. Then sliced through the granite block as if it were butter.

"There!" Josh says triumphantly, both hands full of gumdrops as he stands up. He walks up to Lena, hands her the gumdrops. "Next time, you're picking them up."

He got up just in time to see Tim's demonstration. He gave an appreciative whistle. "Damn man, that's impressive."

"Sadly we're out of ones. And quarters too. I had to improvise on that front." Lena smirks and accepts the gumballs from Josh. "But it's more fun when you do." He put on the better show anyway.

"Wooo. Nice one Tim! Think we'll see agents wielding these anytime soon? And I'm seriously going to have to bribe you into trying it one day."

As expected, get a bunch of SHIELD employees together and work will come up. "Can you open our bottles with that for the rest of the night?" Val asked and smirked. Shaking her head at Nikki, she waved around them. "Draw on him with a Sharpie? I'm sure this bunch can get much more creative with pranks."

"The power source isn't strong enough to make it last for too long to be effective," Tim said as the lightsaber started to flicker. "What I need is that new power source Stark invented."

"Still really badass," Brad says grinning ear to ear and taking a drink from his beer.

"You should totally get more creative with the jokes."
