Trick or Treat?
Even though we skipped ahead and started talking about Christmas yesterday (we're planning a Shipper Secret Santa Exchange here), in just over a week Halloween will be upon us! So I wondered what it would be like if we were to celebrate it, Galactica-Style!
The Crack
The Costumes
It's tough to find costumes in space, but thankfully the Fleet has that excellent Ikea Ship hanging out in its nether quadrants! Kara and Lee had trouble deciding between some various superhero options, but thankfully, some of their friends found it an easier decision!
The Tricks
It wasn't Halloween if there wasn't a massive egg fight in my neighborhood as a kid. What sort of tricks do you think the Galactica folk got up to? Whose office got TP'ed? Which nugget got algae bombed on his way through the hangar deck? Who ding-dong-ditched at the commander's hatch? Whose hand got put into a bowl of warm water as they slept, leading to an infortunate rack accident? ;)
Ok, how many of these are NOT Kara-instigated? ;)
After everyone was exhausted, would they sit around and tell ghost stories to each other? Who would get the most scared? (Baltar?)
The Treats
Candy was at a premium on Galactica. What would the fine crew get instead? Socks? Razors? Cigars? Assuming a treasure trove of sweets WAS procured through the black market, how would they be consumed? Would Lee ration his candy out, controlling himself to only eat one tasty morsel per day to make it last as long as possible? Would Kara cram half her haul down that first night, then get a bellyache and dump the rest with the nuggets the next day? Who would get stuck with the gross candy that no one wanted (i.e. Necco wafers or Good and Plenty)? Who would be the killjoy handing out practical items like toothpaste or dental floss instead of candy? Would there be candy swapping going on? What candy would Kara hate and give to Lee? What candy would he secretly like but give to her because she wheedled it out of him? What other "treats" might all that sweet stuff lead to (wink, wink, nudge nudge)? ;)
