Dimension 987 Chapter 7

"... you... you're the jumper?" Jean clarified. the man... the boy smiled and nodded. "greetings," he said, "i am from Dimension 93."
"oh jesus..." Sheri slid down on the floor. not only was he kind of ditzy, but he was also dressed wierd and had a queer accent. "ok ok. we need to get this sorted out." Ryan said, and everyone looked at him. "we could take him to your house..." Faye considered, "yeah, and let him borrow some of your clothes." Jean said. Wan nodded. "good, let's get going."
they all trooped downstairs, Hisagi slightly dazed, and hailed a cab. Theon, Sheri, Wan and Hisagi got in first. the others needed a seperate cab.
"Erm, Jurong street 14, Blk 97." Theon said, and the uncle nodded. "what, is that friend of your's cosplaying?" the cab driver asked, smiling, and Sheri quickly said, "yes. we're headed to the convention immediately after we get his... erm... cloak." Sheri glared at Wan, who was trying to stifle a laugh.
"ok!!" the cab driver guy laughed, and Theon gave a small audible sigh of relief.

"Uhm... uncle, please fetch us to Jurong street 14, Blk 97." Faye said uneasily, nodding to Ryan to check she said the right thing. When he nodded at her, she sat back in the seat. Jean turned to Faye. "we should get him some clothes of his own. maybe we could sidetrack to the mall and....."Jean was cut off as Faye said to the cabby, "uncle, Jurong Point, please!! sorry!!" The uncle cursed loudly as he missed the turning.
"alright kids. next time just tell me when the ride actually starts, ok?" he said, and Ryan nodded vigorously. he was thankful the guy was actually willing to swith direction, let alone without a lecture. Faye and Jean seemed relieved as well. Jean laughed and nodded, and Faye joined her. Ryan shook his head at his crazy girlfriend, and started calling Sheri on her music express.
"hey Sher? yeah. slight misunderstanding. we're heading to Jurong Point."
"What?!"
"yeah, Faye and Jean decided to buy this jumper dude some clothes." Ryan looked at Faye and Jean accusingly. They grinned and turned to each other. "i think we should go to Samuel and Kev." Jean said. "they had nice jeans, yeah..." Faye replied.
"So what, we go ahead with research first?"
"yeah, i guess. get somewhere with a great power source, maybe we can find some better and more relevant information with a greater search engine." Ryan considered this to be a perfectly understandable suggestion.
"...... that... that might work..." Sheri said, and she smirked. "good thinking, Ryan, we'll see you back here after the girls are done."
Click.
Ryan sighed. the girls were still talking about how they thought they should go to IP Zone when his cell rang again.
"by the way, Ryan, he looks like a size M for shirts, a 29 inch for waist, a size 8 for shoes." Sheri said into the receiver. "Ciao."
Click.
'Oh screw this.' Ryan thought, taking down the measurements on a receipt.

"they won't be joining us for now." Sheri informed Wan and Theon. "what's going on? Taxi drove into the drain or something?" Wan guessed wildly. Sheri hit her on the back of her head. "no, duck head, they went to buy this jumper boy some clothes." Theon twisted the key and unlocked the door. "what did Ryan say? it's rare you say 'good thinking' to him." Theon asked, and Wan laughed.
"he said to find a major power source with a greater search engine. something... that could help us find what we need to. past records, what happened with Wan's brother." Sheri offered, and Wan frowned. Hisagi stood still, and Wan sighed as she pushed him into the house.
"Ow." Hisagi said, as Wan pushed him onto the sofa, and she walked to the kitchen. "Water... oh whatever, let's just have some coke." she said, getting out 4 cups. when she was done she gave a cup to Hisagi, Theon and Sheri, keeping one for herself. she sipped, watching Hisagi out of the corner of her eye.
"this is very sweet." she heard him mumble, and smiled.
"course, that's alot of sugar in there, bub." she sat down next to him, grinning. he looked at her. "...oh." was all he said. "i'm Wan. Mr Serious over there is Theon, and the girl's my friend, she's Sheri. she's annoying." Wan cared to add, and she watched Sheri twitch with certain amusement.
Hisagi laughed. 'how interesting the people are here.' he thought, sipping more of the sweet liquid they called 'koke'.
