Bah, Who Needs Costumes?

I just spent a lovely half hour playing with lightsabers and nerf swords outside with Mason and an entire cadre of neighborhood boys. Mason and I played shinigami/samurai while the other kids were all Jedi. Strangely, this combination goes together very well. Shinigami have powers that are not unlike the Force, including healing, so I switched back and forth from being in the 11th Division (fighting) and 4th (healing.) Mostly, we all just jumped around and shouted.

I was four times the age of the oldest kid, but, you know, we were easily the same mental age. It worked out.
