You are at the local seafood restaurant, "504 Fish". It's a typical chain seafood restaurant, with hokey nautical themed... everything attached to the walls. This place is packed, loud people everywhere, consuming large plates of every conceivable sea creature. You are given a menu, but the menu seems to be written in kobold or hill giant, or something. The waiter hasn't been by in a while, so you are beginning to get frustrated. You consider going to another restaurant, but anywhere you go will be busy tonight. You'll just have to wait.
There's a clock on the wall with a cartoon shrimp on it, and it reads 8:14 PM. You have always been proud of your ability to read an analog clock with great accuracy.
You're alone tonight - you can't remember whether you were supposed to meet someone here or not.
A whirling cloud of faint mist appears in the chair opposite you. You halfway expect it to talk to you, but after a few minutes of blankly staring at it, it doesn't appear to change. You look back down at your menu - the text on the pages is now perfectly clear.
"You will cause a temporal rift ten minutes in the future. You will be transported back to this very moment until you find a way to undo whatever you did wrong."
What is this gibberish? The latest vampire novel? Did some teenager swap out the normal menu as a joke?
The waiter comes to your table, and you order a plate of salmon and some broccoli, with an iced tea to drink. The waiter quickly leaves, and you sit quietly for some time. It's now 8:24 PM.
