Inside the shop

With Lyn entering the shop, Suitachi admitted that he gave the rotten-looking girl more than a crooked look at first, but eh, customers. The yelling wasn't too welcome either, but Suitachi nodded in affirmation, bringing out the requested upgrades. Accepting the credits, he confirmed the amount and smiled. "Thank you very much, and have a nice day."

Suitachi's face showed a visible cringe as the front doors burst open after, remembering the last time the very same girl did so to his poor entrance. However, he couldn't really keep up his disturbed mood for long, as Mira's happy-squeaky voice requested a purchase of him. "Ah, all right, in a moment, miss," he replied, producing the upgrades quickly before packing them up as per his usual conduct.

"Seven hundred zenny... there we go," he said, confirming the zenny amount. "Thank you very much, and have a nice day."

Lyn GET: HP Memory, Process Upgrade x5 [#1-5]
Lyn LOSE: 2500z

Mira GET: Process Upgrade x2 [#3-4]
Mira LOSE: 700z

Lyn was repelled by the second customer in, feeling her own good mood shrink simply by comparison to the stranger's. She made the transaction quick and stuffed her purchase into the pockets of her coat. She gave Suitachi a quick nod in thanks and turned, eager to relocate as quickly as possible.

She took another look back at the strange girl's even stranger headgear, her lip curling up from her pipe momentarily. Shrugging, she made her way through the door.

Regardless of how the positive energy in Suitachi's shop was fluctuating up until now, it without a doubt took a nosedive with the entrance of the dour teenage boy named Jack. His perpetual slight frown and irritated glare thoroughly rejected the notion of "good mood" that was floating around, splitting it apart like a hot knife through butter as he walked down one of the aisles and leaned down to grab a pair of Process Upgrades. Jack's sandals flopped against the carpet slightly as he stood up, but unfazed he made his way over to the counter and place his prospective purchases on top along with his blue Link PET.

"I don't need a bag." was all Jack offered to Suitachi (aside from the pending charge to his PET's account).

(Buying: Process Upgrade 1 & 2)
(100z + 200z = 300z)

With the addition of a surly boy entering his shop and silently placing his order, Suitachi sensed a weird dissonance between the overly cheery aura from Mira and the negating one from Jack. The entire thing was giving him a bit of a weird headache, so he simply approved Jack's purchase with his PET, and nodded. As was his norm, he ended with his usual "Thank you, and have a nice day," though he doubted the kid would be very receptive of it.

Jack GET: Process Upgrade x2 [#1-2]
Jack LOSE: 200z

Jack nodded his head in response, pocketed his upgrades, and walked off with PET in hand.

... Yeah, this wasn't the most eventful transaction Suitachi ever processed. Oh well.

As Mira grabbed her purchases with a grin, her attention had finally been caught by the female, in what Mira would claim was an odd fashion choice dispite many feeling the same of her. Her curiosity was getting the better of her, as she just had to know what was up with the tough looking girl and just what kind of navi she had hidden away in her PET. It was just too much to bare. Mira had to chase after her and find out.

[Thanks!] She waved to the shop keep, before turning to dash towards the door.

[Hey! Wait up!] She called as the door swung open in haste, Mira putting her excess of energy to use as she bolted down the street after her target.

Vincent stepped into the all too familiar shop once more, and moved up to the counter to offer his card. "Hello again, I'd like a HP Memory, A PowerUP, and 3 Process Upgrades if you would."

Buying:
HP Memory 4: 2,000z
PowerUP 3: 3,000z
PU 18, 19, 20: 1,700+1,800+1,900

Total: 10,400z

Travis sighed. How long had it been since he'd come here? And now, on his sister's angry glare at him. He hadn't left the PET there intentionally. He'd only found it again after cleaning up the dorm, after insisting for days (months/years) that she must have misplaced it.

So he found himself here.

At the navi shop. Traceur had just shrugged, not really caring as he installed the latest security updates. The navi was used to long periods of inactivity, forgiving Travis was easy for him.

His little sister, on the other hand...
He decided not to ruminate on that, opening the door and stepping in.

Travis coughed, clearing dust from his throat as he entered. "Hello, I'm looking to buy off my sis- I mean, purchase some navicust."
Maybe telling the guy what he wanted would be better. "Uh... Hold on a moment, she gave me a list of dem- a shopping list. Floatshoes, Speed upgrade? Is that it?"

[Purchasing: Floatshoes (2500), Speed Upgrade 2 (10000)]

A short nod to Vincent preceded Suitachi's acceptance of his card, which was swiped on the register to confirm the purchase. Travis entered at that moment while Suitachi was preparing the upgrades for his first customer. "Some NaviCust, okay," chuckled Suitachi, as he extracted the additional order, as well as returning the card to Vincent. "Thank you very much, have a nice day."

Turning to his second customer, he laid out the two upgrades on the counter. "That comes out to twelve and a half grand," the shopkeeper said, addressing Travis.

Vincent GET: HP Memory [#4], PowerUP [#3], Process Upgrade x3 [#18-20]
Vincent LOSE: 10400z

Travis GET: FloatShoes NCP, Speed Upgrade [#2]
Travis LOSE: 12500z

Vincent gave a light nod of thanks to Suitachi in thanks, before offering one to Travis as well as he took his card and upgrades before turning to head out of the shop.

"Uh, thanks. I think I remember where these are supposed to go..." Travis mumbled, making the exchange of goods before walking out the door, stuffing the purchases in his pocket. He could almost hear his sister yelling at him. He was looking forward to getting to the library, at least.

"Afternoon." The young entrepreneur spoke as she entered the store, removing the large cumbersome headphones from her ears to a more suitable position around her neck. As Adrian approached the counter she could clearly be seen thinking something over, mentally adding up everything she needed to pick up on this trip for her lovely little spider.

"Let's see... could i get one HP upgrade and five... no, six Process upgrades? we're a bit over due. we're at 18-23 now, plus the hp upgrade... 14550 right?"

She was pretty sure her math was correct as she placed the payment on the counter, waiting for her purchase.

((PU's:1800+1900+2000+2100+2200+2300+ hp upgrade: 2250 - 14550 zenny))

With a light nod to the little lady, Suitachi took up the payment before slipping into the back momentarily. Returning with a small bag to offer her. "Quite the set of upgrades, well here you are. Have a nice day."

Adrian GET: Hp Upgrade, PU#18-23
Adrian LOSE: 14550z

Once again, Leslie found herself entering the Navi Shop, and looking as out of place there as ever. From there, she swiped the binder that had the shop's inventory in it, and set it down on one of the customer accessible tables. Opening it up, she whipped out her PET, and started to discuss things with her Navi. They were both quiet, almost acting like it was a library for whatever reason. Though, based on her general bewilderment whenever she actually looked at the stock, it was pretty obvious that the operator was out of her depth when it came to Navi upgrades.

About 15 minutes later, she suddenly burst up, and returned the book to its regular spot. "All right, we're going with 4 HPMemories! And that was, uh...how much was it, Martia?"

"5500z, according to my calculations!"

"Right. So, we'll go with that!"

Order of Purchase:
- HPMemory #1 - 1000z
- HPMemory #2 - 1250z
- HPMemory #3 - 1500z
- HPMemory #4 - 1750z
Total: 5500z

"We're here. So... would you like to tell me now, how you set aside the money for these, Lyntael, when you've been with me every waking moment, hmmm?" Rogan's small, good-humoured smile was honest enough, but so was the intently questioning green of his gaze, above it. Sitting in the alcove of his car's dashboard, the holographic miniature of Lyntael hung her head, blushing softly as she shifted, but didn't answer.

Rogan shook his head. She wasn't going to say no to him directly and she'd tell the truth if he pressed, but he decided to let it go for now. It wasn't as though she would have done anything he wouldn't for it, certainly; Eric seemed to have imbued the little navi with a surprisingly fierce sense of ethics that was often a hindrance to them both. When he opened his door and crooked a finger, Lyntael jumped up and leapt to his hand, dashing nimbly up his sleeve far enough to drop down to his deep coat pocket, where she nestled away.

A faint chuckle and an equally amused smile accompanied the man as he made his way to the Navi Shop. Actually purchasing something legitimately from anywhere in SciLabs was something of a novelty to him... if she were actually a real person, he was sure Lyntael would be proud of him. Still grinning he approached the counter, stepping back for a moment as another young woman hurriedly gave her own order, apparently a hair's breadth from utter confusion. When she was done he held out his card to the side, between two fingers and sought the shop-keep's eyes with only slightly raised eyebrows.

"And could I get one Speed Upgrade, and a basic Process Upgrade, please?"

((Speed Upgrade 1: 5000, Process upgrade 1: 100, Total: 5100z))

After watching some random girl enter the store and immediately take to the inventory, Suitachi settled in to wait for her to make a decision...

Approximately fifteen minutes later, Suitachi was awakened from a fitful nap by the girl's decisive exclamations. He bolted upright and tried to look like he hadn't just fallen asleep for who-knows-how-long. Apparently somewhat used to this, he masked it rather well. "Right then," he started, reaching under the counter as another customer spoke up for service. "Coming right up, sir!" he responded, reaching his other hand back toward the shelves. After some drowsiness-induced fumbling around under the counter, Suitachi produced the aforementioned HP Memories for Rogan and the other set of merchandise for Leslie. He stopped short for a moment then, one hand halfway to the register when he realized his error and swapped the products around so that they sat before the correct customer. "Er, sorry about that." He collected their payments as professionally as he could and saw them off with a jovial "Please come again!"

Leslie GET: HP Memory 1, 2, 3, 4
Leslie LOSE: 5500z

Rogan GET: Speed Upgrade 1, Process Upgrade 1
Rogan LOSE: 5100z

With a small nod of thanks, Rogan slipped the upgrades into his other coat pocket and stepped back to one of the tables, taking a casual seat sidelong to the counter. He spared another briefly appraising glance for the woman before retrieving his PET and setting to applying the upgrades with nimble, practiced fingers. Lyntael had slipped out again the moment he began working and sat watching him, hands behind her and legs stretched out.

"You should say hi!" Her voice was quiet, but Rogan reached out to give her a perfunctory tap on the head with two fingers, feeling the soft static sensation as he brushed her hologram.

"I'm going to assume that was required of your programming, Lyntael. Hush now." quieter than hers, his voice was barely more than a murmur as he worked. The upgrade would only take a moment anyway, and he already had plans for the night to come.

Woo, one install away from Martia being as robust in battle as out of it! Leslie snagged her upgrades, and as she fiddled with the back of her PET, unwittingly sat directly across from the other customer. "All right, let's see...take this off, and, uh..." Her expression quickly grew spaced out as it became increasingly obvious that she was out of her depth. "...All right, who the hell designed this?! I mean, the speed stuff's super obvious, but look at all these places I could cram these things! Which one do I put it in?"

Martia's hologram popped up, and looked down at the scene. "Um...that-no, that can't be it..."

"Oh, come on! Shouldn't you know everything about these things?"

"Hey, I just live in it and manage software! Hardware's beyond me!"

"...Fantastic. I blow all that cash, and I don't even know how to use it..." The martial artist propped her elbow up on the table, and rested her head against it. "Next time, I'm burning all my money on s-eh?" A quick look up revealed that not only was there a person across the table, but he looked like he knew a thing or two about installing stuff. Well, nothing to lose by asking, and all that. "Hey, uh, guy? Think you could show me how to install the, uh, HP-whatevers?"

"HPMemories..."

"Yeah, them too!" Leslie took a closer look at the person she was asking...somehow managing to almost forget him as she was looking. Something about him just did NOT catch her eye, for whatever reason...

A soft click was all the sound that came of Rogan swiftly finishing his own upgrades. He began a quick diagnostic on the PET with one hand, gently shunting the packaging for the upgrades into the small waste baskets by the table. His eye flicked up for a moment as the woman took a place across from him, but dropped again when she began opening her own purchases.

Lyntael took far more interest, jumping up to look at the woman across from them now, head tilted and wearing a small grin. Her mouth opened as though to speak, but she hesitated, remaining silent as the lady appeared to notice her as little as Rogan himself. An opportunity presented itself, albeit an embarrassing one, as the lady struggled with her purchases, and Lyn waved one arm with a bright grin and far more enthusiasm than was probably necessary. Rogan, by contrast, seemed not to hear the other woman's question, though she suspected he had and was just trying to look occupied.

This is where he came from

Joseph walked into the store quietly. His steps were slow, and casual. He had a cocky posture, and always kept his chest poking out, with his head held high. As he got to the counter, he spoke calmly, "May I have one hp memory, and one power up please?"

"Two upgrades master?" Sparks was surprised by this.

"Yes, you fought hard during our last string of battles, we need to make you stronger so that we can last longer out there though." The operator answered. "Well never be able to get strong enough if we just get buying small upgrades here and there."
-----------------------------------------
3rd hp memory should be 1500
1st power up should be 1000
If i am correct.
