"My brother from another mother, what do you need from me? Whatever it is, I'll give it to ya!" Ricky yelled joyfully at Will, as he brought him into the house.
The interior of the house had seen better days. Gone were the days of nice, clean, smooth floors and walls. Now there were drawings and scribbles on the walls, with depiction of new inventions scattered everywhere. Piles of junk, both organic and inorganic, were strewn across the floor. Mess was clearly evident, another hallmark of a genius to busy with seeking knowledge.
"Ricky, here's the thing. I have something important to discuss with you. Can we discuss somewhere more... private lets say?" Will whispered to Ricky, afraid that someone will overhear their conversation.
"Sure. Hope into my room, but beware of things that bite." Ricky fumbled open his bedroom door "I don't know what does and doesn't bite anymore. Too many inventions. Too little space."
"You're joking, right? Right??" Will questioned Ricky Gingerly, as he tiptoes his way into the room. Inside lay hundreds of parchments of paper, each depicting a new invention. Some depicted a laser gun, some a new source of energy, and some new devices to prank people with. In his table lay newer prototypes of inventions that Ricky intends to patent.
"Huh, would you look at that. Ricky still has the old Monopoly game from years ago. Even though it looks beaten up, I bet he still plays it alone." Monologuing this, Will, on impulse, decided to scan with his appraisal function of the watch. What came up shocked him.
"Name: Money-Poly.
Type: Toy
Description: A realistic board game of the old. You play with 2-4 people to buy buildings and trying to bankrupt and each other, just like real monopoly. However, you get to keep the buildings in real life, and earn money collected as rent each month per every building. Function can be only activated when you are the last player remaining on the board, otherwise it will continue to act as a regular board game. This continues until a new game is created and a new owner is crowned."
Will, in shock, attempts to appraise the remaining inventions in the table, and what happens next shocks him even more. All of the inventions on the table, from the wackiest to the most cool looking, were all designated as ProtoToys. Will, in horror, stepped back slowly, and inched his way back to the door.
"Amy, Amy, look, look at what I have found!" Will whispers urgently to his watch, fearing the return of his now unknown friend.
Amy, in shock, replies to Will "I can see what you are seeing as well. I can't believe this either. How on Earth did he manage to get his hands on a Toy. These are very rare nowadays, as a lot of Toys perished during the last great war between Balor and the Toymaker. Be careful Will, he must have some secrets that he doesn't want you to know. Secrets that would jeopardize the relationship between you two, as well probably harming or killing you."
"Ya think I don't know Amy. Lets get out of here first." Just as Will is about to go out of the door, Ricky is seen from behind them "You have a talking watch?"
Meanwhile, unknown to our trio, black cars are seen speeding to the town where they live, bringing danger to the quiet, peaceful and tranquil city.
