How it begins

You are the Devil himself, watching two children play in their backyard. You are sitting on a white picket fence, separating their backyard and Mr. Harkin's. You are carrying your toolkit, containing a green yo-yo, a small gnome statue, an iguana, an ear of corn, and a Devil Pez dispenser. One turn after you get down from the fence, their mother warns them not to go into Mr. Harkin's yard, which is full of old tools and machines. With that, your plan is set: entice one or both of them into his yard.
