As you all step into the room, you find that it is a large and pristine conference room. The walls, floor, and main table are all made from perfectly cut marble and around said table are extremely luxurious chairs. Past all of this is a massive floor to ceiling window that overlooks the strip. Unfortunately there's no one actually at the head of the table.
The light in the room, both natural and artificial, suddenly cuts out before a spotlight lands on the table. Standing there is a woman dressed in dark purple pantsuit, with golden hair. She's posed in manner that looks directly into whatever light source illuminates her, and then her feet begin to tap against the table as she sings.
"Some are born to live at ease, doing what they please, richer than the bees are in honey.
Never growing old, never feeling cold, pulling pots of gold from thin air
The best in every town, best at shaking down, best making mountains of money
They can't take it with them, but they'll try all the same!
They get the center of control, powers on the ease, houses on the street where it's sunny
Summers in the winter, winters in the summer, all of this and nothing but the best
And who is the land for, the sun and the sand for!?"

Suddenly, the woman is next to you, crimson eyes boring into yours while she continues singing.
"You must never be distressed! Yes, it's all for the..."
@TheBiggerFish
She stands in front of you now, still singing. You can see her skin is a strange shade of brown that doesn't seem to fit the face of a human.
"All your question will be addressed! Yes it's all for the..."
@Noob5674
"Some you have to be distressed!" She sings as you notice her teeth are sharpened to points.
She reappears on the table as if to signal the finale.
"Yes, it's all for the best!" She finishes with something that's between a laugh and a cackle before taking a breath and smiling.
"I do love music, I really do. You see I had two options on how to about doing this. I could stand here, stoically staring out against the backdrop of civilization, going on about how the world is reaching a swift at the hands of some nebulous evil and how by your merits you were all chosen to stand as the first and last line of defense... and then rip that proverbial bandaid right off. But that would have been too boring and, I know it's been done before. So, I decided to just be me and enjoy myself." She says before stepping down from the table.
"Of course, that begs the question why you're here. Through random chance you have been chosen to participate in a game of sorts." She flicks a coin from her hands and catches it mid fall before showing it to you all. It's one of the special coins you won on the gambling floor below. "You see, beings across time and space get bored... so to speak, and they need something to occupy their time. Now you all may or may not have heard ROB's or BROB's but we don't do that here. No, here we give you a choice for reasons I'll get to in a minute. You see, this is win-win situation no matter how you look at it. If you want to, you can walk out those doors, take the elevator back down to the lobby and wake right the front door back to previous, humdrum lives. All the money given and or won would be found in your bank account and would be considered perfectly legal tender or you can play along. You see, my clients get... bored and with little slice of barely legal adult fun we stand amongst, they got the idea that maybe they should try their hand at gambling. So, the idea is to roll the proverbial dice and see who comes up."
She gestures to you all. "Which of course means you. Now like any great story I can't send you off with the clothes on your back and say 'have at it'. I've been allowed to give yo, 'Gifts'."
She gestured to the coin, "This is a heart coin, and consider it a seed of an spiritual inheritance. Within these coins lie the seed for power beyond your wildest dreams. You see, as many of you may begun to discover, there are multiple universe, some variations of the same, others completely different. These coins, lets one... let's say take on the power and might of an individual of their choosing. Now before you all get carried away, like all things born from seeds, they must grow into their full potential. But once taken, it's yours for life and no one can take that choice from you."
She palms the coin and begins to move to the head of the table. "So, you might begin to wonder, Money? Power? What's the catch? Well... you have to play along. I'll send to a world of mostly my choice, place you in a situation and see what happens. My clients will bet on you and your choices, and when you complete some great deed," She flips the coin once again, "another coin will be yours, along with another inheritance. And at the end of it all..." she trails off as she tacks her seat.
"ONE WISH! Of your choosing, it can be anything your want or desire, and... no monkey's paw, no devil deal back blast, no fae bullshit. The wish will be done, made, however you wish to say it as, exactly the way you want it to. Now, like I said before, if your not interested, merely walk out the building. If you are interested however, then please sit. and let's talk."
