Ton races to the back, he knows something is going on but not what, or why, or how. He needs answers because he can feel something inside him.
"HEY, What's going on here?" Ton yelled to the door to the back room as he stops at the empty clerks desk. "Just a minute." came the muffled reply.
A moment later the old man came back with three boxes and was struggling to catch his breath. "Woo, Now where's the fire? What is all the hollering about?"
"My friend kissed me and its because of your tie, and everything in this place is weird!" Ton realized he sounded crazy, he wished Blake realized that something was going on, Blake was better at dealing with things than Ton was.
The man grew concerned, "Oh, you REMEMBER him kissing you? That shouldn't be the case... I apologize if the item is defective."
"He doesn't seem to remember. WAIT, you KNEW he was going to try to kiss me? What kind of crazy ass, mind control, store is this?"
"No no son, nothing like that. The tie is a tie for fathers, it wants to be worn by a dad. If your friend put the tie on, it will do everything it can to turn him into a father. If your friend kissed you on the lips, you will become his pregnant wife, if he kissed you anywhere else you will be his son. I didn't make this happen, this is all precipitating from your friend not already being a father or giving the tie to a father as intended by the sign."
"You're fucking nuts." Ton said, not knowing how to make heads or tails from what he heard.
With a glimmer in his eye and an eerie smile, the clerk said, "You know I'm not. Would you like to become my apprentice? Ill remove the spell from you and Blake will find someone else to become family with."
