KIRSCHTARIA "OTTO APOCALYPSE" WODIME

(Y/N): Good to meet you, Hannibal!

Kirschtaria: Hmm. You're the second one to address me by that name. My colleague, Beryl, has taken to calling us nicknames after we were branded Team A. It seems to be an inside joke.

Shinketsu: At least SOMEONE appreciates the classics around here.

(Y/N): I dunno who this Beryl is, but I get the feeling that his life expectancy is better off without me knowing.

Kirschtaria: I'll be sure to introduce you once the first Rayshift is over and done with. For now, we best make haste and consume sugar in an orderly fashion.

(Y/N): Don't gotta tell me twice! See you around!

He liked this one, (Y/N) decided. He got the sense that Kirschtaria seemed aloof and cool, but judging by the way he was savoring the creme brulee, he was a bit of a goofball in his own right.

Bidding goodbye to his senior Master, (Y/N) entered the cafeteria and ignored everything going around as he made a beeline for the dessert isle.

(Y/N): WOO-HOOO! Time for sugar! Shouldn't take long to indulge in all this, right?!

Shinketsu: *sigh* Just bring in the Scene Break.

------------------------------------------------------

Three Hours Later

Okay, so maybe (Y/N) had gotten a bit too excited and helped himself to the entire selection of desserts they had at the cafeteria. 

No big deal. All of these magi scrubs could use a diet and exercise. None of them looked like they could throw a clean punch to save their life anyway (Although he had yet to see the three Servants around in action).

The true problem lay in that (Y/N) had just eaten an entire bakery's worth of sweets and he was still unsatisfied.

(Y/N): How am I supposed to save the world if I can't even get my main source of fuel?! I knew I should have kept a sample of 871 for these kinds of emergencies, but noooooooo, "too much cake and you'll destroy the world"!

Shinketsu: You didn't do yourself any favors when you made them press the Yellowstone Reset Button precisely because you killed humanity with too much cake.

(Y/N): Big deal, they do that shit at the slightest inconvenience anyway! *sigh* Fucking hell, I'm this close to changing my mind and slamming Kscope's ass with a fee.

Shinketsu: Yeah, see how that's gonna end with him giving you the money. Moving on, the debriefing should be over by now, so if we want to see how this whole "Rayshift" thing operates, we better move--

She stopped talking as (Y/N) stood up just as quickly. Like a switch flipping, there was a change in the atmosphere. Being no stranger to these situations, they both synchronized their senses as (Y/N) broadened his perception far beyond Chaldea.

Shinketsu: The trigger event's happening. Instant one at that. Gotta give props; they don't mess around.

Not even a second later, the lights in the cafeteria turned off. Almost immediately, it was lit up with the red light of the emergency lamps, and at the same time, an automated response blared from the loudspeakers nearby.

"EMERGENCY. EMERGENCY. FIRE IN THE CENTRAL POWER STATION AND CENTRAL COMMAND ROOM. ALL PERSONNEL MUST BE EVACUATED FROM THE SECOND GATE. GALE CLOSURE WILL OCCUR WITHIN 90 SECONDS. I REPEAT, AN EMERGENCY..."

To this turn of events that could mean the end of Chaldea, (Y/N) could only grow an amused smirk as he stood up.

(Y/N): Hey guys, (Y/N) here, and today we're gonna clock in at Waffle House at 3 A.M., which is a very calm and non-strange workplace environment.
