3-Chip Trader Machine

*CHIKA-CHIKA-CHIKA-CHIKA-CHIKA-CHIKA...*

Something seemed to be stuck. Marius whacked it a bit and the chip finally fell out.

LOSE: Satellite, Magbomb, Wideshot
GET: Aquaknife
"Oh, this damn machine!" Marius kicked the machine with his feet, instantly catching the shopkeeper's undivided attention, but managed to get the stuck chip out from the machine. "...This isn't half bad." said the operator as he lowered his head to avoid Soryu's laser beam stares. He then walked out from the store and headed back to his apartment.
Shin passed by the Chip Shop on his jog and spotted the chip trader machine. He had always noticed it, but really couldn't find the chance to give it a whirl. Now was good a time as any.

"Let's take this for a spin, shall we?" Shin suggested to Red.

"No problem! We can use those two Cannons and a Rageclaw for starters!" Red piped up.

"Alright then... now where's.... ah, I think I insert them here," Shin pondered, sending his two Cannons and a Rageclaw1 chip in.

[Insert: Cannonx2, Rageclaw1]
(CHIKA-CHIKA-BLAM)

...Blam? Oh well, a chip still came out. Can't complain too much, can we?

Shin LOSE: Cannon, Cannon, RageClaw1
Shin GET: WaterLine2

...Nope, not at all.
Shin let out a low whistle as he lowered his glasses and picked up the chip. "Lucky~" he commented, depositing the reward in his cache.

After buying a snack from the convenience store, Shin spotted the metroline out of the corner of his eye, deciding to make a trip to SciLabs after all.
Returning back from SciLabs on the metroline, Shin came up to the trader again and sighed as he deposited two zaprings and a firehit.

"Let's pray for something decent," Shin suggested, clapping his hands together as he started the roulette. Red and Myun followed suit.

[Insert: Zapring1x2, Firehit1]
"kchnk
whiiiirrrrrrrrrr
plonk"

Shin LOSE: ZapRing1 x2, FireHit1
Shin GET: Shotgun
Shin's face darkened as he picked up the chip and kicked the trader machine before leaving.
Jack quickly strolled into the shop as he pulled out three Heatshot chips and quickly inserted them into the receptor. He then pulled down the handle and prepared to pull an F-bomb out of his head and readied himself for disappointment.

Chips in: HeatshotX3
*click-click-click*

The machine falls silent for a few seconds, then spits out a chip.

Jack LOSE: Heatshotx3
Jack GET: Candle1
Jack plucked the chip from the container and headed into ACDC Town proper.
Virgil arrives, and takes out three chips. He puts them into the trader and...

[Inserting Miniboomerx2 and recovery10]
*click-whirr-ding!*

At the tone, please receive your chip.

Virgil LOSE: MiniBombx2, Recov10
Virgil GET: Vulcan1
Virgil pocket the chip, and headed towards the counter.
Mark approached the machine, holding the various chips he wanted to put into the machine. He had heard terror stories of this machine, but also tales of great chips being received. With a deep breath, he inserted the first set of chip, and pulled down the handle. He reloaded the machine and pulled the lever for a second time.

Battlechip Inserts.
x2 Cannon
x1 DBLbeam1

------------
x1 Cannon
x1 AmatsuHaretsu1
x1 Rageclaw1
And as if by magic, two chips appeared. KER-CHUNK. KER-CHUNK.

...Considering what they were, it might have very well been magic.

Mark LOSE: Cannon, Cannon, DBLBeam1
Mark GET: IceCube

Mark LOSE: Cannon, AmatsuHaretsu1, RageClaw1
Mark GET: WaveArm1
Mark gathered the two chips, and researched them both while heading out of the chip trader section. A smile cross his face, and Trent's, as the wavearm1 description was pulled up on the PET. He turned a sharp corner after exiting the shop, and headed towards the metro, to grab a lift to the Shop before going to the airport.

{To Scilabs}
Rei had always heard talk about the chip trader before, but he had never really given it much of a shot. While he had begun preparing for the shop which was left to him, he had a few left over products he felt wouldn't do so well in selling.

"May as well hope to get something better out of them" He muttered, as he stared at the three chips in question, as they rested in the palm of his hand. Slowly placing them into the machine, he let out a sigh as he wondered just what he would receive in return.

((Inserted chips: 1x heatshot, 1x thunder1, 1x shotgun))
After some clicking, a KER-CHUNK signaled the arrival of Rei's newest chip.

Rei LOSE: HeatShot, Thunder1, Shotgun
Rei GET: PhoenixShot1

At least it was highly unlikely he lost money on the deal.
Rei quicklly snatched the chip, with a grin. "This'll definitely be more useful. Looks like lucks on my side today."

Not wasting anytime, he headed out the door, back to planning for his business venture. Things were looking up.
