John Hopkins was a high school senior, he had been wandering through the yard sale for a few minutes when his eyes landed on the meadallion, after reading the directions and noticing that even if it didn't work it was cheap; he bought it.
That night John was having a small get together at his house, just the four of them his friends Josh, V ( her full name is Veronica), and Colette.
Everyone met up at John's house later that day, he explained the ruled to them and then all four of them took hold of the medallion at the same time.
