Inside the shop

"Hm, ahem... thank you very much, good sir," Dharma coughed, clearing the laugh up as discreetly as she could. She decided that, unfortunately, Suitachi was just as a salesperson should be: sycophantic and ignorant. He didn't really have any idea of why she was laughing and probably would have joined in laughing with her if he thought he could make a handful more zenny off of it.

Turning on her heels, she clop clopped out of the shop. Where to? She wasn't entirely sure yet...
Walking into the shop, Jack rummaged through his pockets and brought out a 100z coin, putting it on the counter. "Hey, Suitachi, you have enough time to hook me up with a level 1 processor upgrade?" Jack asked, it was easy to calculate, all things considered.

Buying: Level 1 Processor upgrade (100z)
"Money is business, Time is Money, and Time is Business, so I'll make it quick," Suitachi grinned, taking the 100z and placing the Process Upgrade package on the counter.

"Have a nice day."

Jack LOSE: 100z
Jack GET: Process Upgrade #1
Jack nodded and said 'thanks' to Suitachi, taking the upgrade and leaving his shop.
Desmond entered the store with a purpose and began to look for the Floatshoes NCP among the listed store stock. With the relatively limited selection, it wasn't hard to find though he found the system requirements a little hard to swallow.

He choked on his words before bellowing, "WHAT!? THIRTY BLOCK SPACES?"

"Desmond!" rebuked Tennisman.

"Oh. Yeah, sorry, sorry..." Desmond apologized, lowering his voice again, "But thirty spaces!? We only have fourty five because I got that one NCP Upgrade! That leaves... fourtyfiveminusthirty."

"Fifteen." Fifteen answered.

"That was oddly appropriate." noted Deuce.

"That's not enough for anything! Alright, gonna have to upgrade the NC again and maybe we'll need to take out the HP fifty." Desmond planned aloud.

Taking a minute to calculate his expenses and sort out space allocation, he approached the front desk and announced his order, "Hello, I would like to buy three custom expansions and the Floatshoes program."

((Custom Expansion 2 + 3 + 4 + Floatshoes = 1500 + 2000 + 2500 + 2500 = 8500))
Liliana walked into the store, and went up to the counter when a hologram of her navi appeared in the air, floating and propelling itself trough the air around the op.

" Um, excuse me.I would like to purchase three Progress upgrades, an HP memory, and a PowerUP." Liliana said to Suitachi, placing the required amount of Zenny on the counter. Cala's Holographic image sitting on Liliana's head, moving it's tentacles trough her op's hair even though it would have no effect.

((HP memory: 1000z
Powerup: 1000z
PU1, 2, 3: 100+200+300z
2600z total))
"All right, just a sec," said Suitachi, pulling out some boxes from behind the counter. Counting out the upgrades from the boxes, he glanced at the zenny laid out on the counter, and nodded. "There we go, that's all of it," he said, packing it up into two plastic bags. "Twenty-six hundred, and eighty-five hundred."

Liliana GET: HP Memory [#1], PowerUP [#1], Process Upgrade x3 [#1-3]
Liliana LOSE: 2600z

Desmond GET: Custom Expansion x3 [#2-4], FloatShoes NCP
Desmond LOSE: 8500z
Desmond sighed. That was a lot of money, but he considered it an investment and it was time to make it pay off.

"Thanks!" He waved to Suitachi, leaving the store and heading towards the promiseland of the NetVegas district.

((NetVegas))
Kenji made his way via his crutches inside and looked around at the stock, held a discussion with his navi then came to the counter when it was his turn.

He looked up at the clerk and said "Hello. I need a Break Shot buster effect upgrade.. Um a PowerUp.. And two Process Upgrades, please".

((Break Shot -1500, PowerUp#1 -1000, Process Upgrade#2 and #3 -200 and -300. Total -3000z))
"Thank you." Liliana said, taking the upgrades and then heading to the bathroom to have an amazing and highly detailed conversation with her navi off screen before heading back outside.
[Editing in a Suitachi approval retroactively because screw everything]

"Yeah, hold on," said Suitachi, scratching his face idly as he pulled out a box of upgrades and picked out the few that Kenji had ordered. "That should be it. Three thousand zenny," he said.

Kenji GET: Break Effect Upgrade, PowerUP, Process Upgrade x2 [#2-3]
Kenji LOSE: 3000z

Kenji payed the clerk, took his merchandise with a "And thank you", and departed back for home to get these installed.
Roger had a pretty good idea of what he was going to buy by the time he entered the shop. He had just been in here and their inventory and prices were still fairly fresh in his mind. More than anything, he wanted to customize his navi even further and the only way to do that was through the process upgrades. The math had been worked out ahead of time as he approached the front desk and asked, "Hi, can I get Process Upgrades 5 through 10, please? It should be 4500z, right?"

He readied his bank card while waiting for Suitachi's response.

((Process Upgrades 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 = 500 + 600 + 700 + 800 + 900 + 1000 = 4500z))
Finny walked into the store as she twirled her PET around at the end of a strap, having the usual smile on her face as she neared the front desk. "He-yo, shopkeep! I want some upgrade for my navis, pronto!" The girl nudged to the side of a man she did not know, not caring whether or not he was there first and slipped the money down towards Suitachi. "Whoopsies, comin' through~"

    [li]Speed Upgrade Level 1 - 5,000z
  • Process Upgrade Level 4, 5 - 900z
Total: 5,900z
"Yeah, should be," replied Suitachi to Roger, bending down over to grab some of the upgrades from the counter. Placing a large box marked "PU" on the countertop, he pulled out a few, and placed a Speed Upgrade beside them as well. "Oh, hey, watch it, little miss, don't want to fall over," he remarked, directing it at Finny.

"Mmm, all right, that should be it," he said, packing up the respective purchases into bags and handing them over to their intended recipients. "Thank you, and have a nice day."

Roger GET: Process Upgrade x6 [#5-10]
Roger LOSE: 4500z

Finny GET: Speed Upgrade [#1], Process Upgrade x2 [#4-5]
Finny LOSE: 5900z
"Thanks, shopkeep!"

Finny swiped the upgrades off the front counter and made her way to the door...Till she stopped halfway and turned back to the counter. "Ahah...Sorry about that, I think I took some of your upgrades instead of mine." She handed the Process Upgrade with the large "10" labeled on the top back to Roger, bowing her head in an apology as she took her own upgrades. "...You look pretty strange." said Finny as she took a closer look at the large man. "If you don't mind me saying, you look like a sailor but you don't smell like the beach...but more like a bleach."
"Hah! That IS mine!" Roger laughed while taking the package, "Thank you kindly, miss!"

He could tell the girl was from Creamland. He had mixed feelings about her as she was nice enough to start up a conversation with him, but also commented on his body odour. He sniffed his vest. She had a point though.

"Oh, yeah. Haha, I spend a lot of time cleaning things. I work as a janitor at the Scilabs. Me name- I mean, MY name is Roger. What's yours?" He said, extending his hand for a handshake and a toothy grin.
Finny didn't hesitate to return the handshake back to Roger, also returning the smile with her own. "You can just call me Finny, Roger. Finny Haydn." Though Roger's explanation that he works as a janitor cleared off the whole bleach smell, it still didn't fully explain why he was all dressed like a pirate in a way. Finny's curiosity was piqued and she couldn't help but to look into it more.

"So...From all those upgrades you bought, your navi must be pretty strong, right?" said the Creamland girl as she tries to be as discreet as possible. With a cocky grin, she pulled out her own gray-black PET and almost shoved it in Roger's face. "Wanna see how strong mine is!"
This was an interesting development. Roger had not yet tried fighting a navi in a genuine netbattle, though he had fought some navis already while exploring the net. He wondered if her navi was really as strong as she claimed and whether it was fair to go all out against her...

"Dohoho... If you're suggesting what I think you're suggesting, then I accept!" Roger chuckled, scratching his scruffy beard a bit, "DubloonMan and I will take ye- I mean, we'll take YOU on in a NETBATTLE!! Hah ha ha!"
"I appreciate your business but no netbattling in the store please." Suitachi interrupted, tapping a sign beside the front desk that read: "NO NETBATTLING IN THE STORE PLEASE"
"Geez, thought you were more loose with these types of things, shopkeep." said Finny as she was bit disappointed. Nonetheless, Roger was willing to try her at a Netbattle and she couldn't be anymore excited as she gripped onto her PET tightly. "You're on, sailor Roger! There should be a net-terminal just out side of here at some park, we'll take it from there!" Anxious, Finny began to rip through the newly-bought upgrades and immediately began to upload it into the PET one by one.

"F-Finny, what's going on?" asked Cambiare as he awoke from his small nap, still a bit tired from the last virus-busting session. "You're going to show the world how strong you became, Cambi. Just you wait, Cambi, just you wait!" The nervous navi already had a sense that things weren't going the way he wanted it to go, already pondering what's going to cross his unfortunate path this time...
