Not all of what was found is sold in the shop. Some of it is too beautiful to be sold, or not really worth too much when it came to antiques. While the shop was repainted and fixed, a lot of things were restored to be used for practical or artistic use.
And that's where this necklace comes in.
This necklace was hung decoratively on the second floor, above the couch against the wall, with a few other bits and pieces that were either broken or pretty. The silver surface and gem were polished till they glittered, and left as decoration in the living room.
Across from the couch, is a TV. This TV was another addition to the living room. It's hooked up to a DVD player, and quite often the TV is used as entertainment. There's only a few movies, and if there's a customer, it's left to do it's thing. But if left too long, it will go off pause and continue.
That's how this happened.
One friday night, after a long day, someone forgot to switch off the TV and the DVD player. They waited for the last person to leave, locked up and went home, forgetting about the movie. It switched back on again, and started to repeat over, and over, and over, and over... till Monday. When someone returned to the shop, they found a teenager sitting on the couch eating breakfast from the fridge.
Now, most Companions or Simu mimic a real person. But there will always be someone different in a way. And this is what this flatsale is about. This Companion is a little different to a normal one. It didn't mimic anyone who was real, it mimicked a movie. This companion will be a teenager, like the others, but will be a lot more independent than most, seeing as it formed no real attachment to anyone living while it slowly started to awaken.
This Simu is a full custom. You decide the movie. You can even have them take after a character in the movie, as long as they aren't that character, (For example... it could be a girl who mirrors Satine from Moulin Rouge. She won't be Satine, but she may resemble her physically at first, and adopt some of Satine's quirks.), a theme of the movie (Like... a mermaid copying 'The little Mermaid'), a DVD menu, a scene of a movie, or something else that comes to mind.
And most importantly, you've got to remember that this Companion isn't from the movie, and won't remain always like how they start. They'll still have some sort of background story of their own which will be the key to their changes in life, so keep that in mind too. ^_^ But they'd always have an affection/obsession for that movie, that can't be rivalled by any other connection save for the one to a Simu.
Important.
Entries in this contest will not be entirely be based on grammar and writing abilities. It's also about imaganation, what characters seem real already, and what people can come up with. ^_^ Just don't forget to spell check, and you CAN get someone who isn't a judge to read and correct entries as many times as you want before submitting.
And, although it isn't entirely about grammar and spelling, making it readable is a really good way to get bonus points. wink xd
