Godmorgon! – Good Morning!

It's a new week and I [livejournal.com profile] sagaluthien is signed up for be your guest host. It is the my first time as one and I hope that we will have a few great day's together.

My first theme is; Film/Movie Characters day
Take the chance to wish for something of your old favourite movie, or from the latest you went to see.
No wishes for TV-series fandom if they aren't made into a film. For example Sex in the city is okay, but not Supernatural (I know there is a talk for one). The film most have been released. EDIT! This also includes no crossovers with a tv-series that hasn't been made into a movie. (No need to delete or not reply on those that is already posted)

Don't forget the rules:

No spoilers in your prompts for at least one week after publication/air date.

If there are spoilers in your story, you must warn in bold and leave at least 3 spaces.

No more than 5 prompts in a row, and no more than 3 prompts per fandom. If one of your prompts is answered, you can prompt again.

Respect our awesome code monkeys, and follow the standard format with your prompts. Like so:

Sex in the City, Carrie, new shoes

X-men, Logan/Storm, electrified

Harry Potter, Harry/Draco, unarmed

If today’s theme doesn’t catch your interest, rummage through the Lonely Prompts!

Of Robot Heads and Astronauts, Jacob/OMC, PG-13

A/N: As "30 Rock" has taught me, Astronaut Mike Dexter is the perfect man. He's anyone you want or need him to be. And he's an astronaut. So. Use your imagination. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Jacob knew it was bad when he thought his lectures were drawing “the crazies.” But he wanted to reach new audiences, grow his listener base. And if he got to some community college kid in his first semester of physics, if he got that kid to think “what if,” then it was worth it. Sort of. The motel he was in was kind of a shithole.

Florida was nice, though. He could envision spending more time in the sun, flirting with the girls and boys on the beaches. Teaching them about why the stars twinkle and how the earth was terraformed by ancient aliens from another galaxy. Sure, that game hadn’t worked yet, but he held out hope.

After another lecture in another nearly empty auditorium, Jacob politely answered questions from the stragglers. One of the kids was paler than Jacob and wanted to know more about Mayan cave carvings. Jacob gave the kid Joseph’s business card. Jacob didn’t like holding a grudge, but it was nice to set a little revenge on Joseph, even if it was just in the form of an overeager college kid. Once he dispatched the kid, he turned his attention to the two ladies who had been conversing between themselves the whole lecture.

“Questions about the mysteries of the universe, ladies?”

One smiled demurely, the other said, “No, I think you answered our questions.” They walked away. Jacob wondered if he was losing it. Maybe the crackpot was coming on too strong for college girls.

The last questioner was older than the college kids, slightly taller. “And you, can I be the butt of your jokes this evening, too?”

The man smiled. “Nope. I’m actually here about the moon thing. The robot head.”

Reflexively, Jacob said, “It was a robot head!” Then, “Oh.”

The taller guy smiled. “Yeah. I’m Astronaut Mike Dexter,” he said and held out his hand. “I’ve seen that robot head of yours.”

Jacob couldn’t help but look at the guy sideways. An astronaut? Had seen the robot head? Was talking about it to Jacob?

“Seriously. I’ve seen the robot head.”

Jacob nodded. Slowly. “Okay. This isn’t some joke Joseph put you up to?”

“Don’t know Joseph,” Mike said. “I do know where we could get some kickass pie and I could tell you about the weird striations in the Sea of Tranquility, though.”

Jacob was a sucker for pie. He let Mike take him out for burgers and pie in his big American muscle car. Very astronauty. Jacob thought maybe things were turning around for him. Maybe this astronaut descended from space to help him tell the world the truth. Tell the world about coming apocalypse.

“Craziest thing, man,” Mike said. “I mean. A robot head. Never thought I’d find someone as crazy as me.” He grinned over at Jacob.

Jacob decided to save the apocalypse talk for their second date. He was a smart guy. He was learning from his past mistakes. It turned out, though, that Mike was prepared for the full brunt of Jacob’s truth. And Mike had even crazier theories than Jacob, some about aliens, but others about angels and demons.

In the end, though, Mike won Jacob over with one very small thing.

“It’s a picture. Pulled it from the lunar rover,” Mike said.

Jacob pulled up the picture on his computer. There it was. In full hi-definition. The god damned head of a robot.

“Should we be worried it looks like a T-1000?” Jacob asked.

“What? No, no. That’s totally a Blade Runner android.”
