Inside the shop

After taking a few moments to comprehend what she thought she might've just seen, Sabrina did an about face, and started making her way towards another shop...

(to ACDC!)

The computer Suitachi used received an email with a data string attached.

~Decoding... Please Wait...~

~Done. Message Reads:~

Greetings. My name is Destin Obscura and I am currently unable to come to the shop right now. I wish to request a few upgrades to be sent to my PET for proper installation.

I require the following:

1. Custom Expansion x1 [1000z]
2. Process Upgrade x2 [100+200=300z]

Total costs: 1300z.

~Zenny present in broadcast. Awaiting upload.~

Suitachi glanced at his register. It was making odd sounds for some reason. How rather strange. Looking at the screen, some indecipherable code ran through his vision, and he got a bit of a shock at the wall of text. Then, the register began to run some automatic decoding thinger, and translated what he assumed to be alien transmission into readable English.

"Hmph. Lazy-ass kids these days, can't get off their prissy little couch potato butt to walk a few blocks to the metroline. What with their encrypted messages and shit. Makes me sick," Suitachi grumbled to himself. He thought to himself, was it even possible to send upgrades through Net access? Looking at the upgrade box, he picked out three of them and put them into the register. The machine immediately complied, sending them to their recipient.

"Huh. Never thought it could do that," the shopkeeper mused. He typed in a short message to go along with it.

Quote ()

Here's your upgrades, and get your lazy ass over here if you want any more in the future. This'll be the exception I'll make for my over-the-counter-only policy.

Take care, and have a nice day.

Destin GET: Custom Expansion, Process Upgrade x2
Destin LOSE: 1300z

Davis walks into the eyes half open and yawning and sort of slumped over. Stopping in the middle of the shop he looks around and scratches his head almost forgetting what it is that he came in for. "Davis did you forget the upgrades already? we came here for a HP memory upgrade and some process upgrades." Davis chuckles and smiles "oh yea thanks Blitz." Davis walks up to the shopkeeper"um hey i would like a HP Memory upgrade and like two Process upgrades please?"

"HP Memory, two Process Upgrades..." Suitachi answered, as he ducked under the counter to pick up said upgrades. He looked at his customer slightly suspiciously, then tapped a few keys on his register. The display flashed with the price.

"That'll be 1300 zenny, please."

Davis GET: HP Memory, Process Upgrade x2
Davis LOSE: 1300z

"Oh Davis your too laid back sometimes." Davis laughs and stratches his head"Yea your right i guess i should pay more attention from now on. Sorry about that shopkeeper dude." With his now updated Zenny Davis looks at the shopkeeper "Thanks man and i'll try not to be so absent minded." He waves by and exits the store.

Popping his head into the store once more, Aoi quickly looked over the wears again. He made a lot of cash on his trip and he could now afford the bigger upgrades. Looking over the various supplies, he saw the HP memory and Attack Power up. Nodding his head, he quickly approached the front desk and looked up and smile.

"Thank you for the process upgrade the other day Sir! It was really handy! Can I get a HP Memory and Attack Power Up Please?" Aoi placed the 2000 zenny on the counter before he realize what he wanted with it. "Oh! I would also like two more process upgrades please!"

<<Buying HP Memory V1 for 1000, Power Up for Attack for 1000, and V2 and V3 for process upgrades at the cost of 500 (200+300). Total, 2500>>

"Well, aren't you feisty. Thank you, actually, for buying my upgrades," Suitachi smiled as he looked at the little mite. Opening the counter back, he took out the requested upgrades and put them on the top, swiping the money into the register.

"There you go, and have a nice day."

Aoi GET: HP Memory, PowerUP - Attack (2/1/1), Process Upgrade x2
Aoi LOSE: 2500z

As he received What he has been asking for, Aoi smiled and nodded his head. "Thank you very much sir! I'll come back again once I get enough cash!" Taking the small box of upgrades, he immediately began working on installing and upgrading Yuki's systems. He hoped this idea worked to help keep her out of trouble in the future.

<<Leaving with my purchases>>

Walking into the SciLab shop after school, Xenneth had toured the area with his P.E.T. by his side. His intention today was surely to go Virus Busting it seemed along with Rafflesiana at his side, but this time, there would be a change of location considering his endeavor with ACDC town's horde of viruses. To the kinder, he seemed to tap little digits into his P.E.T by posting in the online BBS getting set with Rafflesiana. A change of scenery would be nice, and he was fascinated with the concept of Netbattling by the minute every since the little Flower Girl NetNavi had convinced him to come easily out of his shell and be more outgoing together with her.

However, that still meant that they would have to be strong together too. Realizing this, he had easily stride into the shop letting his attention go the counter as he looked towards the price listings and decided on the upgrade item he needed. (Which was the only one within his budget it seemed at the time.)

"Umm, may I purchase one Process Upgrade, please?" he had said plugging in his P.E.T and downloading the data and calculating the price after the system weighed how many Process Upgrades the Flower Girl already had recently which made it come out to three hundred Zenny in total.

Purchases:

Process Upgrade x1 - 100 Zenny x(3rd) = 300 Zenny

"Well, looks like you've calmed down a bit after your last visit here, eh boy?" Suitachi greeted, remembering the violet-hair from the frantic speed into his shop. Then again, a lot of people were like that from his wide range of customers. Never stopping to chat for a while or anything. Just bam, upgrade please, then they leave.

Oh well, I'm sure they have better things to do, he thought as he bent down to grab the upgrade from his display and handed it to his customer. "Here you go, and have a nice day," he said, careful not to leave out his end-greeting as he had done some times.

Xenneth GET: Process Upgrade
Xenneth LOSE: 300z

...and with good reason, Xenenth could have supplied to the comment, but he simply perked his head up as he left a blush to his gentle cheeks. As the shop tenant had supplied Xenneth with the single Process Upgrade Package, the young boy had taken it tenderly into his hands as he nestled it in a comforting way. Remembering that Rafflesiana wanted to try to log into ACDC Network and attempt to go further in the area, he had nodded his head in a comforting thought.

He felt through this, he could become a little more stronger too.

Entering the shop with a bag of goods from the Chip Shop, Desmond checked the stock list to check if there was anything new. However, it looked like nothing had changed since he last paid a visit.

"Tsk," He clicked in disappointment, "Well, I guess while I'm here I oughta pick up something..."

He scanned the list again and decided on something basic before addressing Suitachi at the counter.

"Hello, can I get two process upgrades?" Desmond asked, not sure if he could afford any more than that.

((Buying
Process Upgrade 18 = 1800
Process Upgrade 19 = 1900
---------------------------------
Total = 3700))

Suitachi looked at Desmond with a look of recognition on his face. "Right away." His hand immediately went for the upgrades under his counter, grabbing two of them without so much as a glance and placing them on the shiny top for the sale.

"Have a nice day," he finished, a smile on his face.

Desmond GET: Process Upgrade x2
Desmond LOSE: 3700z

Desmond sighed, partially in relief and partially in dejection, seeing that his final account balance only had 45 zenny remaining. He collected his goods in another bag and decided it was about time that he headed home. Who knew what kind of craziness Tennisman was up to now.

...Maybe it was better that he ran.

"Thanks!" Desmond added as he shuffled out the door in a hurry.

((ACDC Town))

Casually, Sabrina entered the second shop she wished to do things in, and placed precisely 11000z on the table. "One PowerUP, please!"

Ah, straight and to the point.

(BUYING: 1 PowerUP (to be placed in Charge))

Looking at the not-too-small zenny amount placed on the table, Suitachi grinned and replied, "PowerUP, coming up." He winced at the unintended pun, but didn't show it to Sabrina as he bent down to get the item from the counter display, placing it on the table and taking the zenny from the table after verifying its total was correct.

"Come again, and have a nice day."

Sabrina GET: PowerUP - Charge (5/4/5)
Sabrina LOSE: 11000z

Woo, PowerUP get! She could've done without the pun, but eh, she'd live. With a wave, Sabrina left the shop, having some people to get back to ASAP.

After a short train journey and a few too many caffeine enriched drinks, Lex finally made it to the navi shop. Walking into the shop rather hastily, Lex had a strange buzz about him; he dashed towards the counter, checking each display as he went, looking for the best deal.

Turning ot the shop owner, the hyper netop spoke crazily, "I-I-I want to buy a H-HP memory!", rummaging through his pockets, Lex pulled out the correct money required, but instead of handing it over, he continued his mad ravings, "Nooooooo... Wait! I'll offer you 500 zenny for it.... No wait! 200 zenny.... 1500 zenny final offer!"

<Buying HP memory 2 = 1500 zenny>

Destin Obscura, finally in the flesh, showed up at the SciLabs shop. It was the first time he had used the public transit system in Electopia so it took him the better part of a day to find this place. The Electopian system was much more advanced then Netopia's. Probably due to the fact that it was harder to own a car here than back where he came from. Plus the automotive industry probably didn't have as many lobbies/legislators working for them.

He walked in and began looking around. He hadn't been in the shop before so he had to learn the layout. Thankfully that wasn't too hard, as the shop was mostly bare, save a few tables. He noticed the main counter had a weighty tome displayed for customers. He walked up and began leafing through the book. It seemed to contain the index of the shop's stock, with very high-quality, high-glossy images.

Even though Destin knew what he came to get, he wanted to find the PLU for the items in question. Scanning through the volume he found the pages he was looking for. He did some quick addition in his head. Then he placed his hands as bookmarks and looked up at the store owner. As he spoke about the items he wish to purchase, he flipped to the images.

"I require the following items: I need a second Custom Expansion, as I already have one (v2, 1500z)... aanndd the Float Shoes NaviCust program (2500z). I believe that comes to 4000z, if I am not mistaken."
