comment_ficHello, everyone! It's Thursday, I’m ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scarlet_gryphon, and sadly, this is the last time I get to guest-host this week. I hope you had as much fun as I did.
Anyways, today’s theme is B-movie titles! Do you have a favorite B-movie that's a guilty pleasure? Do you want to see some of your favorite characters live through those over-the-top adventures? Now's your chance! Kindly provide a link to the film's Wikipedia or IMDB page in the prompt if you can. And as always, if you don't find a prompt that interests you, go visit our Lonely Prompts. ^^
Some quick examples:
Stargate Atlantis, Lorne/Parrish, It Came from Outer Space
Warehouse 13, Pete/Myka, As if their job isn't weird enough, now they have to deal with an artifact that recreates scenes from Creature from the Black Lagoon.
As always, remember to follow the rules:

Date: 2011-12-22 08:42 pm (UTC)"It is not the quiver of Artemis," said Castiel, "and thus it does not concern us."
"It looks kinda sad," said Sam, elbowing Dean out of the way to get a closer look at the thing. It had been Dean's idea to come to the stupid creepy pawnshop to try and find the quiver, something which Sam had little faith in as a strategy because hello, cliché. Despite the vintage car and luck with the ladies, not everything in Dean's life played out like a movie, especially not the hunts.
Anyway, turns out Dean had been right about the shop having something to do with the supernatural, so Sam wasn't going to be bringing that one up again.
"You like him?" said a voice from the back, low and creepy. "Three dollars."
"It's a toy, right?" said Dean. "Like, an animated toy?"
"No," said Cas. "In fact, I believe it to be--"
"It's a gremlin," said the shopkeeper, emerging from the gloom to stand in front of them. He was a short, squat man, with a nose that looked as though it had not so much been broken once in the past as repeatedly smashed with a brick. He smiled, and Sam noted that his teeth had not escaped unscathed either. "They were all the rage back in the day. Pet rocks, tamagotchis, gremlins. After Kingston Falls, they were rounded up and culled."
He leaned forwards as though imparting a great secret. "This one got out, and I thought, y'know, better snap him up, might be an investment, but the guy's been nothing but trouble. He just sits there, all mopey, like, and people just walk right by him." The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes. "Two dollars."
"Kingston Falls, you said?" asked Dean.
Sam watched the man nod, greasy blond hair falling over his forehead, and something clicked in his memory. Hadn't there been something, a hasty note scrawled in their dad's journal, about Kingston Falls?
"We'll take him."
The man smiled. "Two dollars, that's all. Two dollars, that is, and three rules..."

"Is there a creepier way to spend Hallowe'en?" said John, plucking a scalpel from the instrument table and holding it up to the light. "Because I really can't think of one."
"Nonsense," said Sherlock. "We spend every other Friday in here; the fact that it's the last day of October changes nothing."
"I'm just saying - full moon, Hallowe'en, working late in a lab - it's all a bit Monster Mash."
"Oh, I'm sorry," said Sherlock, holding a blood-spattered hand to his chest, the drama of the gesture undermined by his unwillingness to actually get blood on his shirt, "would you rather be out trick or treating? I seem to remember you saying that anything was better than covering A&E on a Friday, let alone Hallowe'en."
"Okay, but if these guys start shambling around calling for brains, I'm blaming you."
They continued in silence for a few minutes before the lights shut off with a click; Sherlock found that, though the hospital had given him free reign, it was easiest to perform his experiments without anyone to watch him - people were so easily nauseated these days. Unfortunately, working at such a late hour often meant that the janitors locked up without realising they were in there.
"We're gonna die," said John, attempting what Sherlock believed to be a girlish American accent.
"Get my phone from my pocket, would you? I'm busy actually investigating death wounds, and wouldn't want to--"
"Okay, okay!"
John proceeded to retrieve Sherlock's phone from his trousers in an unnecessarily clumsy, fumbling and most irritatingly slow manner. Sherlock was not going to respond, because Sherlock was above such immaturity.
"62442," he said. "Puts me straight through to the control room."
"Six two--?"
"Double four tw--"
Before Sherlock could finish, before John could send power back to the striplights, something else illuminated the room. A liquid green light floated down from the viewing window above them.
"That's a security thing, right?"
It couldn't be. Well, technically, Sherlock supposed, it could be, but he'd asked all the staff to inform him of security changes as he often stayed in until the early hours of the morning and did not want to be caught off guard by a new alarm system. He thought he had impressed on them quite effectively just how little he thought of human error.
Besides, although Sherlock knew of many static green night lights used in council buildings, he had never come across any which moved from place to place.
"Give me the phone," said Sherlock, and snatched at it.
John reacted on instinct at the grab, backing up and accidentally flinging the thing in the air.
"Oh, wonderful, John, that's just what we need. Thank you. I can always count upon a military man to keep his head in a crisis."
"Yes, whatever, Sherlock, your sniping is also very constructive--oh, shit."
In the dark, Sherlock couldn't see where he was looking, and though it was John that was the gambling man between them Sherlock was willing to bet his last fee that he'd just noticed the face grinning at them from the window.
