Inside the shop

"Process upgrades on your Navi are shared between them and all Support Programs," said Suitachi, bending down to obtain the upgrades from the counter as he did. "You can choose whether to let them utilize it, or otherwise." Setting down the four upgrades, he swiped the cash card, and determined the correct amount of money was present.

"There we go," he said. "Have a nice day."

Chris took the upgrades, and his cash card. "Thanks," he said. "I'll keep that in mind. Chris then walked out of the shop, making his way home and already planning out the possible signatures he could create with this newfound knowledge.

Sullen looked like she was powered by coffee, rice cakes and vanilla yogurt. If she spent any more time in Si-Labs she was going to have to rent out some space! She really was getting used to shopping and standing in the lines.

"I have some more napkin math; I think it all adds up" handing the shop keep a napkin with what she wanted; it had a few doodles of a fox and a skull.

Process Upgrade: 6 = 600z
Block [5] - 1500z
Navi Customizer Expansion: - 1,000z

Total: 3100z

"You're an interesting one. Not many people order on napkins," said Suitachi, picking up the white thin piece, and extracting the items from their respective storage areas. Setting them onto the counter, he swiped a plastic bag, and handed the upgrades in said plastic bag.

"Three thousand one hundred, have a nice day," said Suitachi.

Hopping off the metroline, Shin headed for the store and walked in and straight to the counter.

"Yo, Suitachi. My navi's gonna need some endurance, so ring me up for my 5th HP Memory, you dig?" Shin addressed the shopkeep while sliding over a chip that contained 3000z in it.

[Buying HP Memory #5: 3000z]

"Yeah, I 'dig,' (wow, way to use an ancient phrase) 1 level 5 HP upgrade..."

Suitachi grabbed the zenny chip and slotted it into his register before he fetched the requested upgrade, and handed it towards Shin.

"Here ya go, dawg. Keep it real, aight?"

Suitachi reveled at his own incredibly awesome comeback, for Shin was not the only one who knew ancient tongues.


Shin GET: HP Memory x1
Shin LOSE: 3000z

"Yeaaaaah, brofist dawg," Shin smirked, taking the upgrade and bumping his fist against the shopkeep's lightly.

Next stop... NetVegas...

[To NetVegas!]

Roxxy came into the shop clearly out of breath. She had jogged fairly quickly the whole way here, and hadn't passed Teruko at any point along the trail. Now entering the shop, she realized the woman wasn't here, either.

She bought a drink from the NetCola machine, sat in one of the chairs, and took a moment to catch her breath while wondering how she could have lost Teruko like that.

"They're not here either. I guess we must have lost them." Gale noted, more confused than sad.

"I'm sure we'll catch up with them eventually. Things work out that way. Besides, someone as gutsy as Teruko can't be a hard one to run into." Roxxy responded.

After her resting moment, which she spent looking over the ads and such adorning the walls, Roxxy made her way to the desk. "A process upgrade would be great."

[Buying First Process Upgrade, 100 zenny]

"One process upgrade, coming up," said Suitachi, who deftly extracted one basic upgrade from one of the boxes that lined the counter display, and set it on the top. Soon, the upgrade was properly put into a plastic bag, and handed over to the breathless customer.

"100 zenny. Thank you, and have a nice day," he said.

Roxxy LOSE: 100z

Roxxy dropped the cash and picked up the upgrades in a single swipe herself. She turned and left the shop, giving the clerk a dismissive wave and a polite "You too."

She headed out in much less of a rush than she had been in on the way in.

"IIIIII'm back!" Burt called out, leaning into the shop with a big grin. With fresh zenny jingling in his pocket, he felt loaded and ready to shell out in celebration of his new SP, which would be coming to him soon. "Let's see, I'll take four of your finest process upgrades, Suitachi." With that, he plopped the money on the counter and went browsing through net navigator magazines in a rack to the side, particularly ones with pretty girl navis on the covers.

((Paying 3800 for Process Upgrades 8-11))

Returning Burt's grin with a small smile of his own, Suitachi brought out the process upgrades requested on the counter top, and packed them up into plastic bags. Sliding the money into the register, he pushed the pack of upgrades towards Burt.

"If you've finished looking at that, here. Have a nice day," said Suitachi.

Burt GET: Process Upgrade x4 [#8-11]
Burt LOSE: 3800z

A bright singing voice was heard as Na'im entered the store, Djinni's hologram sitting on the side of the PET on Na'im's back. Swaying her feet back and forth and singing happily, although the lyrics consisted of 'lalala's and 'lululu's, she looked around curiously and waved at Burt the moment she saw him when Na'im stopped in front of the counter.

"Hello Suitachi," Na'im started, shooting a glance and a smile at Burt before focusing his attention at Suitachi, "Five Process Upgrades for me." From his wallet he took out a couple of bills, each having big numbers written all over them, and put them down on the counter.

((Process Upgrades 19-23, 5 in total; 10500 zenny.))

After taking Na'im's money, Suitachi sorted through the bills himself and then retrieved the upgrades he'd been asked for. He seemed a bit frustrated at the change he was being forced to deal with, as if common sense should tell Na'im handling transactions digitally would save them both the trouble. Still, he answered Na'im with a smile fitting for his 10000 zenny customer. "Thank you, and have a nice day," he said, handing the upgrades to their new owner.

Na'im GET: Process Upgrade x5 [#19-23]
Burt LOSE: 10500z

"Whoops, just finishing up~" Burt responded, flipping quickly through the magazine and reading none of the articles. Showing that he had no intention of buying it, he returned it to its place sloppily and headed for the door. "See you later, Na'im. After seeing Djinni last time, I'd say upgrading her's pretty dangerous, but you're the boss!" he chuckled.

((Heading back to Dentech))

"I'm sure that won't be an issue," Na'im commented to the shopkeeper and collected his Process Upgrades. It was an expensive purchase and in a way he felt as if Suitachi was scamming the entire Netbattling community. He glanced at Suitachi, bordering a glare, but then turned away.

Djinni quickly waved at Suitachi as the Operator and Navi pair left the building.

Rose's recent busting run had led to a minor reevaluation of her strategy. She had thought a lot about why she hadn't been doing quite as well as her friend, and came up with a few reasons.

"I haven't upgraded Summ in a long time," she thought. "So here I am." She entered Suitachi's, with a specific plan to buy something. It wasn't a very specific goal, but she wasn't too concerned with how SummonerMan was upgraded, just with making sure that he was.

"I think his design is a bit childish still, too." She mused. "I mean, he could be more generally Summon based." The card thing had recently started to strike her as overly specific, and she wasn't sure she could be successful if she kept over specifying with all her silly fads.

By this point she had been staring at the upgrades for a while, and had managed to make a fairly boring judgment on what she'd buy. She glanced around for a bit more before placing her payment down and informing Suitachi about what she wanted.

"I'd like an HP Memory and a Process Upgrade, if you don't mind." She requested.

[4th HP mem(2500 zenny) + 11th Process Upgrade(1100 zenny) = 3600 zenny]

Vincent returned to the navi custom shop with a glance around, it was starting to feel almost like a second home with how often he was coming and going. Still he'd wait for his turn before nodding to Suitachi and placing his card on the counter. "I'd like Process Upgrades 12 and 13 please."

Buying:
PU # 12 = 1,200
PU # 13 = 1,300

Total: 2,500 Zenny

"Alright, let's see what I can do," said Suitachi to his two customers, lifting the required upgrades from their respective hideouts in storage easily, and placing them on the counter. Both forms of payment were accepted, and the cash register made that familiar ringing sound.

"There we go. Have a nice day."

Rose GET: HP Memory [#4], Process Upgrade [#11]
Rose LOSE: 3600z

Vincent GET: Process Upgrade x2 [#12-13]
Vincent LOSE: 2500z

With a nod of thanks Vincent took both upgrades, along with his card and turned to leave, offering a slight wave on his way out. "Thanks a lot, see you around soon I'm sure."
