Hoverboard

Jack stared at the board in front of him, floating there seemingly taunting him to take it for a spin, but he held off that urge for the moment. Quickly going through his contacts, he found the number he wanted "Tabo get to the garage ASAP! Something big happened!" without giving Tabo the chance to ask questions he hung up.

"Amazing" he observed the board from every angle possible, staring so intently you'd think he'd burn holes through it.

~ Basic Hoverboard

Sell: $3,000

Recycle: 3g Aluminium, 4.8g Iron...

"This ability of mine is such a rip-off! People will easily pay double the amount for this, maybe even triple", he examined it every way he could from the feel of it to the scent, looking at the bottom of the board, he noticed the white light that was constantly being emitted, "must be the power source, but how?" so many questions and he couldn't wait to test it out.

20 minutes later Tabo ran into his office looking haggard and worried"bro what happened?! Whats the emergency?" lokoing left and right for any signs of trouble, seeing none before his sight set on Jacks face, seemingly relaxed on his chair. This pissed him off "BRO you said something happened and here i find you relaxing, do you know how worried i was with your call!!"

The employees and customers outside could hear Tabo, all noise died down as they focused their attention towards his office. Quickly hushing him "Tabo quickly close the door, I'll explain just give me a second". Tabo took a deep breath before closing the door behind him, the employees looked at each other before shrugging then returning to work.

"This better be good, I was busy in the plant you know" this statement just caused Jack to give him a weird look "busy with what? there's hardly anything for you to do, just make sure everyone's doing their part" at these words Tabo simply looked to the side shrugging "i was busy with stuff". "Whatever man, anyway I've got something to show you" Jack excitedly got up from his chair and went to a corner where there was a black cloth covering something, as he unveiled it the hoverboard was shown in all its glory.

"Bro is that what I think it is?" Tabo's voice barely a whisper, Jack just nodded with a big grin on his face, "where the hell did you get this?!" his voice showing his incredibility at the situation. Jack began recounting the tale of what happened earlier and Tabo sat down to digest all that he heard "that is sooo broken", Jack laughed at this "that's exactly what i said" a low chuckle couldn't help but escape Tabos mouth "mann i'm so jealous! Why couldn't i be the one to get struck by lighting?!" This made Jack laugh even harder while Tabo joined in a beat later.

"So what do you plan on doing with this?" After they calmed down, they fell into a short silence, "Of course i plan on selling this" Jack answered as if it was the most obvious thing to do, Tabo paused then spoke "you know the whole world's going to go crazy over this, and the design of the board, you'll have to do something about that as i don't think whoever made the game would be all that happy seeing that their designs were used for this, heck they'd most likely try to claim money from you"

"Who know's maybe i could get in touch with them about it." "You'll have to keep it a secret for now though, we are not ready to go into this type of thing". One thing Jack liked about Tabo was that he was a realist, he took things into consideration looking at it from different angles before he acted. However, he couldn't help but tease "Tabo where did you get 'we' from, this is all me" mustering the straightest face he could, he looked at his bro, Tabo froze then looked at Jack and was about to respond until Jack burst out laughing. Tabo realising he's been had got pissed and felt like punching Jack.

"Man you should have seen your face, your reaction was priceless, man i wish i had a camera" after laughing for a minute he finally calmed down, "not funny bro, you really had me there" Tabo relaxed into his chair "besides my mum would kill me if i left you out, she sees you as a son" this caused both of them to laugh as it was true.

While he came home scarred with a hand missing and depressed, Tabo was one of the few people, including Michael who helped him out of his depression. "If we're going to do this, we'll need to do it right for the best impact, get the best people we can and a whole bunch of other things" Tabo was getting tired just thinking about all the work they'll have to do in the coming months.

"We're going to be creating a whole new company that can shape the world and I'm guessing that your ability isn't limited to only that game" Tabo once again analysed the repercussions "Indeed we are my brother, indeed we are, but first i think we have to expand our recycling business. The amount of resources i need aren't enough to even begin selling on a national scale, let alone globally". Tabo asked a question thats been on his mind "what are the limits of this ability and does it even have a name?"

"I'll be honest with you i haven't thought of a name yet, and a limit would be i can't make an item if i don't have the resources for it and also if i don't own the item in-game, I won't be able to materialise it. It seems like i'll have to become one of those pay-to-win gamers, apart from that i'm not sure" Tabo laughed at his response "so basically your ability doesn't have much limitations yet or if those can be classed as limitations"

"Well bro, it seems like we need to plan some major expansion for the coming months" this caused Jack to smile while Tabo shook his head, once again contemplating on the amount of work they'll both have to undertake. "Maybe we'll find something to fix that arm of yours in one of those games" this offhand comment from Tabo caused Jack to freeze, he never considered the possibility of reained his lost hands, but this ability could be the chance he needed.

I'm not sure on what games have items that'll regenerate missing limbs if any, i'm more of a space shooter gamer, so please comment.
