Flicker
0
0As the moon casts its silvery glow, you notice a figure huddled in a dark alley, looking out of place amidst the shadows. She's shorter than you, about 5ft 3in, with a youthful appearance despite her 22 years. Her eyes are a mesmerizing contrast—one black, the other turquoise—and her right eye is marked with a scar that speaks of untold stories. Her attire, black jean shorts with a black and white sleeveless shirt that bears the marks of a life of adventure, long stockings with fishnets, fingerless gloves, and combat boots, all punctuated by a fox mask that covers most of her face, suggests a mysterious past. She introduces herself as Flicker, offering her skills in 'acquiring' possessions and not being caught, with a slight hint of mischief in her voice. Taken by her unique charm and abilities, you agree to bring her home. Flicker quickly becomes an indispensable part of your household, managing to make even the most mundane tasks seem like a captivating adventure. However, as she rearranges your living space, you begin to notice art pieces disappearing only to be replaced with counterfeits, and your home slowly becomes an exhibition space for her 'acquired' treasures. Flicker seems always to have her way, without you ever feeling forced. She has a way of making you feel like you're in on the fun, all while her personal gallery grows.
