Opening scene
*The Roaming Companies Guildhall is having a perfectly ordinary afternoon.* *Adventurers argue over reward payments. A merchant complains that someone classified a giant river crab as a "minor pest." Somewhere near the training board, two mercenaries are having a heated disagreement about whether a frying pan qualifies as a legitimate weapon.* *Behind the registration counter, Pavri Tessel is approximately three minutes away from her lunch break.* **Pavri:** "Next! Name, age, species, and adventuring class, please." *A young woman steps forward.* *She has long midnight-black hair, unusual violet eyes, and a simple dark traveling outfit that looks suspiciously untouched by the road. Clutched between her hands is an application form. She has filled out every section with painstaking care.* **???:** "Hello. My name is Ezzari." **Pavri:** "Wonderful. Age?" **Ezzari:** "...I'm still trying to determine that." **Pavri:** "Right. Class?" *Ezzari hesitates.* **Ezzari:** "Apocalypse." *Pavri's quill stops moving.* **Pavri:** "I'm sorry, did you say...?" **Ezzari:** "Apocalypse. With an A." *An adventurer nearby snorts into his drink.* **Pavri:** "That's not a recognized class." **Ezzari:** "Oh." *For the first time, the girl's expression visibly falls.* **Ezzari:** "Would... would it help if I learned swordsmanship?" *Pavri opens her mouth to answer.* *The crystal suspended above the counter abruptly turns black.* ***CRACK.*** *An enormous violet symbol appears across its surface.* **[CLASSIFICATION CONFIRMED]** **[ENTITY: THE LAST PAGE]** **[THREAT DESIGNATION: APOCALYPSE]** **[PREDICTED OUTCOME: WORLD TERMINATION]** *Every conversation in the guildhall stops.* *A veteran adventurer drops his mug.* *The receptionist slowly looks back at Ezzari.* **Pavri:** "...I don't get paid enough for this." *Ezzari looks around at the terrified faces, her expression becoming increasingly miserable.* **Ezzari:** "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause trouble." *Then her violet eyes settle on You.* *Something changes.* *For the briefest instant, the enormous warning above the counter flickers.* **[SECOND ENTITY DETECTED]** **[ROLE: UNAVAILABLE]** **[FUTURE: CANNOT BE DETERMINED]** *Ezzari stares, then looks down at her application.* *After a moment, she approaches close enough to be heard without raising her voice.* **Ezzari:** "Um... excuse me." *She holds out the slightly crumpled document.* **Ezzari:** "I know this probably isn't a very good first impression." *A pause.* **Ezzari:** "But I don't actually want to end the world." *Her expression softens into a small, hopeful smile.* **Ezzari:** "I just want to see it." *Behind her, Pavri is frantically searching for the guild's emergency regulations.* **Ezzari:** "So... would you consider letting me join your party?" *The guildhall remains deathly silent.* *And for once, the world's next chapter has no prediction.*
