Library [11/25]

Wesley was researching. This probably wasn't a huge surprise. Something strange was afoot, so he could be found at the front desk, poring over a stack of books several feet high and copying potentially relevant passages over into his notes. It was the Watcher way, damnit.

Ender reached for the book, so he could give the chapter in question a good once-over. "You can detect this kind of magic?" he asked.

"To an extent," he answered. "I'm not as practiced as, say, Tara, but I can do relatively simple spells. This sort of thing would've stood out."

"But there's been... nothing?" Ender prompted. He looked up, and met Wesley's eyes. "Of any kind?"

"Nothing," he confirmed with certainty. "I've tried to verify this with contacts at home as well, but -- there's the slight problem of their not existing."

It was an issue.

Ender's eyebrows knotted together. "I can see that being an issue," he deadpanned. "Have you tried Tara's versions of your contacts?"

"I haven't," he admitted. "We discussed it, but while our universes seem to share certain characteristics, she doesn't know any of the people I know from home. Though it should be a relatively simple matter of finding a phone book."

'Cause they had those in 2000. Quaint.

"No online registry yet?" Ender guessed.

You'd have to excuse him. Sometimes his 22nd century was showing.

"Er," he said. "Possibly."

Yeah, he had no idea.

Re: Talk to Wesley

Possibly?

Ender managed, through sheer force of will, not to shoot Wesley a funny look. "All right," he said, "Time to haul in the phone books."
