Hole in Your Head: Science Fiction

[penthius]

"I can see by the hole in your head that you want to be friends." Try that line in a bar, and most girls are going to throw their drink in your face, but when it works--well, when it works you get something like what happened next. On the whole, I think I'd have preferred to have a drink thrown in my face, though in the beginning it was something pretty spectacular. I like vintage music, you see, and so--because I've basically given up on pick-up lines anyway--I use the first line sometimes to see if they've got any idea what I'm talking about. Also, it's a decent way to get free drinks if you open your mouth right when they throw the drink in your face. This dame, now, she turns to me with her dark eyes all aglow and she says, "How did you know?" That threw me, a little, because a hole in your head, really? But I played along.

Inspiration: "Dopes to Infinity" - Monster Magnet
Story Potential: High
Notes: Cult? Alien abductee? Something. Kinda a noir feel to our protag, with a dry sense of humor, probably takes place on a space station--could be fun.
