You are hungry, so you leave the hostess podium and head to the nearest table where people are eating. A young couple with two children are eating at a booth, so you slide in there and start taking food from the table. You take a lobster tail, two crab legs, some chicken fingers, and a handful of rice and immediately start stuffing it down your gullet, ignoring the protests of the customers.
They yell at you as you start walking out to the back door, and the mother is trying to get her family moving towards the other exit.
You immediately vomit all you've eaten over the back steps of the restaurant, creaking a slick, nasty mess. You think you'd like to light it on fire, but have no ability to do so. You're not a pyromancer, after all.

You hear a newscaster say "It's 8:28 and the weather is..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
A group of businessmen leaves the restaurant, and the hostess says goodbye to them in a cheery voice. She takes a brief look over to you with a look of disgust. A young family sits down, and immediately the two children start throwing tantrums. They end up getting up rather abruptly, and leaving the building.
Your waiter drops the menu at your table, and says he is going for a smoke and will take your order as soon as he finishes. He steps out of the back door, and as soon as you hear the door shut you hear a scream. The waiter has fallen on something....
Several members of the kitchen staff rush outside to help him, and the bartender waves you over.He says to you "Oh man, your waiter, Kyle, got hurt pretty bad. We're kinda short staffed tonight, so if you want I will take your order."
You smile and look at him, and say "Great. Well, I'll have a lobster and some whiskey. Actually, it's been a real long night. I'll have a LOT of whiskey."
The wonderful thing about being a Time Mage is you can take very creative approaches to everything. Like getting served quickly at a restaurant. Get rid of some needy customers, "fire" the bad help...
As you eat the largest lobster in the building and sip your whiskey, you contemplate further. It's only 9:30 PM, there's a whole lot more time tonight!
This is the end of this story!
