The counter top breaks easily. Then it sort of turns hazy, and in a moment, is back the way it was. The Timebroker looks mildly annoyed, but only mildly.
"The counter isn't really there. Its just your minds trying to find a shape to give this place... its a bit beyond your brains' collective paygrade, trying to comprehend being in a state of only sort of existing... now, if we're done... the muffins are still available, if you're traumatized yet?"
He turns back to better address them both at once.
"You're actually newcomers. The ripples hit your world fairly recently, but the overall effect has been going much longer. The only remaining original has been at work on this rather large project for over four years. There is a group of others who have also become unstuck in time. Each of their worlds has been hit by the same effect. Via a device called the Tallus, you will move from world to world. The Tallus will guide you as best it can to tell you how to fix each world and stabilize its timestream. If you succeed, you and the group will then move to the next world. Fix the right combination of worlds, and your own will be repaired - at which point, I will send you home to the moment from which you disappeared. However, You can fail, and you can die. If you fail, you will be stuck wherever you failed, or possibly return home, forgetting everything that was and buying into what your world has become. If you die... you die. And we try and find a replacement."
