SHIELD Thanksgiving (meme)
Unsurprisingly, SHIELD had plenty of people who stress-baked, used cooking as an outlet, or just like tinkering with food (in and outside the Biolab). This widespread trend in culinary skills made Thanksgiving more of a gastric marathon than a hearty meal and emails would go around jokingly about fasting on Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare, or rooms commandeered and stuffed with pillows and blankets for the post-eating/drinking food comas.

The buffet tables were daunting to say the least, groaning boards living up to their name, and by the time you went up for seconds, the spread was different. After a tragic mix up between the hot mustard and nacho cheese, all the dishes were clearly marked with what was in them, and even some suggestions for pairing written in pencil by previous grazers. Val went for the mulled wine first, for liquid courage.

	She chuckles and keeps eating from her to-eat plate. "Just watch the R&D tables, they're the ones that'll throw the first plate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That sounds pretty old school of them to actually throw a plate," Brad say curiously. He kind of thought they would have built some kind of launcher if they had planned this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She waved her hand while she chewed and swallowed. "Figuratively. I checked the light fixtures when we came in, in case they were going to pull a Carrie. I would not be surprised if there is a stuffing air cannon under one of those tablecloths. " (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well if things get out of hand can always call in a few favors for a vomit comet," Brad says in between bite of food and sips of beer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2014-01-05 03:40 pm UTC (link)
	She makes a face. "Please, no vomit-comet-talk while we are eating," she pleads. "But I'm sure there be department feuds after this, as usual." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not that bad as long as you have an iron stomach," Brad says still eating. "But then again I like to do a barrel-roll loop-de-loop's at over mach 2 without problems." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2014-01-06 02:29 am UTC (link)
	She smirks at his offhanded boasting. "I have a stomach of a different kind of iron, thank you. Lena made me promise to not make anything hot for the meal. You have fun with those pop-a-wheelies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_flyboy_ 2014-01-06 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	"You should see if they will let you do a spicy food challenge day then. I know most of the pilots would get a kick out of that." Or get sent to the hospital for overdoing the spicy foods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"With vats of lassi and beer to help with the burn," she agrees, liking the idea. "And I'm sure the labs could concoct some scary hot sauces too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_flyboy_ 2014-01-09 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Milk too. That always worked for me," Brad says. "If Tim was still here I'd be scared he make a crazy hot pepper beer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2014-01-13 12:15 am UTC (link)
	She smiled faintly at the reminder of Tim. "He would and it'd probably eat through titanium, but he'd also think of some magic pill to neutralize the consequences too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_flyboy_ 2014-01-14 02:30 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah those science guys do some crazy stuff," Brad says grinning, "Kind of makes you wonder how they do it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2014-01-15 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"From what I've observed with Lena in Bio, it's either a wonderful, repeatable accident or more akin to them daring each other to break some law, legal or scientific," she admitted with a thoughtful squint. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_flyboy_ 2014-01-16 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	"I think the dare thing is more likely. At least from what I remember of high school science," Brad says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2014-01-18 12:29 am UTC (link)
	She nods sadly at that. "These guys are like high schoolers. With a insane budget at their disposal and access to too much caffeine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_flyboy_ 2014-01-20 01:27 am UTC (link)
	"That is actually a fairly accurate description," Brad says, "Probably should mention that to mom." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2014-01-21 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	Val gave him a long faced look, shaking her head. "If you get me in trouble with all of the R&D for cutting back on their fun money, I will have you grounded with the worse case arcophobia recorded." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_flyboy_ 2014-01-22 12:21 am UTC (link)
	"But that would just give me an excuse to visit the zero gravity theme park on Shield's money for therapy," Brad says smirking. "They got a 16 story free fall no bungee or parachute." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2014-01-22 02:35 am UTC (link)
	She smirked and shook her head. "Did I mention the additional sudden claustrophobia? No? Oh well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_flyboy_ 2014-01-22 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	"I actually might have that," Brad says jokingly. "Part of the reason why I like the skies so much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2014-01-24 12:57 am UTC (link)
	"Then don't sic the scientists on me," she bargained. "And you can keep the skies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_flyboy_ 2014-02-01 12:47 am UTC (link)
	"Realize I wouldn't sic the scientists on you," Brad says with a grin, "Mom's a lot scarier." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2014-02-03 01:51 am UTC (link)
	She laughed. "Perhaps. But I've seen what happens when the lab rats get angry and shun one of their kind. And I'm considered 'soft science'," she pointed out. "Though, yes your mother is a force of nature herself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_flyboy_ 2014-02-04 12:07 am UTC (link)
	"Wow we just duck tape the guy up somewhere in just his underwear till he learns his lesson," Brad says. "Yeah especially when she goes angry mom." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2014-02-04 12:26 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah no," she shook her head. "Not in the mood for the duct tape routine, thanks. I've seen the records of her handling trouble makers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
