:Chapter Ten:
Tristan gave his phonebook a dubious look.
"Why," he asked aloud, "Is the Ishtar's phone number in here?" Not that he was hoping his phonebook would answer back, of course. That would be...awkward. Very much so.
Well, while he was at it, why not? If nothing else, he'd have someone to talk to. Besides, Ishizu was psychic...she would know Serenity's number. Right?
He glared at his phone. Maybe this time, he'd actually reach someone.
He dialed the number, listening to it ringing on the other end.
And ring.
And ring.
And ring.
"Hello." came Ishizu's voice.
HAHAHA take that, Joey!
"This is the phone mail system. I am...not available. Do not bother leaving your name and number, Tristan, I know it is you. What you seek has already been found. What you want is not available at this time. What is unknown will not be realized until it is too late. Which is now, but I digress. I would wish you good luck, except I deem it futile. Farewell. Oh. Joey doesn't know, by the way. About both things."
Okaaaaay. That was...odd.
Tristan was feeling just a tad bit confused. He dialed the number again, this time copying the message down on a pad of paper for later perusal.
Okay, she's not available. That was obvious. She knows it's me...figures.
What is that about what he seeks being found? Did he already have Serenity's number and didn't realize it?
What he wanted wasn't available? Duh. She already said that.
What is unknown will not be realized until it is too late. Which was now.
He totally, completely missed that. In fact, he could feel the breeze from it flying over his head.
She would wish him luck, but deems it futile? Huh? What did "futile" mean? He made a mental note to look it up later, conveniently forgetting he didn't own a dictionary, being so adverse to learning.
And what exactly didn't Joey know about? And both things?
Wait. She's psychic. "Both things" could be both the unknown knowledge and the meaning of the word "futile".
Thus satisfied with his explanation of the puzzle that was Ishizu's answering machine, he turned back to his phone book. Who to call next?
