Inside the shop

"So, we meet again..." The voice had said as she walked up to the counter simply staring ahead with her usual maid outfit on. She didn't even pay Wes any mind giving the current situation. "I'll need 2 HP Memories as well as a Process Upgrade." She said as she had urgently downloaded her Zenny data and soon after plugged into the net to re-establish a link with Empress.EXE. She was silent as she started ahead patiently.

((1500, 2000, 600 = 4100 Zenny))
Leaving 380z left.((Close, wasn't it?))

((You know what? I'm awesome. That's what. :'D))

"Oho. I think the higher ups are demanding things too, eh?" Suitachi remarked, no doubt referring to the Priority Announcement that appeared on PETs everywhere.
"I see you two are needing some good parts. Well, here they are," the shop owner remarked, setting down the ordered parts in front of the respective customers and then taking the money.
"Have fun kicking butt," Suitachi commented, winking as he departed for the back of the store.

"Thanks." Wes said, downloading the extra signature attack points. It seemed that they had managed to accumulate an extra 200, so it would probably be a good idea to use some soon. What kind of abilities could they unlock now? The netop absentmindedly exited the shop.

Keera had tilted her head up as she had recieved her upgrades. She had pocketed her PET as she had quickly left the store heading for her secret domain.

(Due to posting during time warp, anyone not in the event posting here is assumed to be shopping before Hal arrives)

The chopping of helicopter blades in the air grew louder until they quickly began to recede as Hal landed his vehicle outside of the shop. He'd done a poor job, and under any other circumstances he might have feared some policeman springing a bizarre parking violation ticket on him. At the moment, however, the operator only had one thing on his mind.

Bolting through the door, Hal didn't allow himself the usual pleasure of browsing and taking his time as he normally would. Right now, he could only look for what he knew worked. Still, he had to glaze over the entire new inventory to find out how exactly the new process upgrades worked. If he uninstalled the old programs and reinstalled the new ones incompletely or incorrectly, it could have drastic consequences in the current dilemma. Hal dug through his wallet, producing two fairly worn tickets that had been carried in his wallet for some time now.

"These are vouchers for process upgrades," Hal said to the man behind the counter quickly, not even recognizing the shop's owner as Suitachi in his hurry to get out. "I believe I can redeem these for 5000 and 3000 respectively, a total of 8000. Together with my current zenny, that gives me 11700. I'd like to buy the version 1 Navi speed upgrade and 2 HP Memory upgrades. That should take my Navi's fighting level to 7, at which point I can install seven process upgrades. I'd like to buy all seven now, please."

Hal spoke quickly and muttered a bit in his stress, but he calmed down and restated it as clearly as he could, pushing his talking eloquence as best he could. "That will be one Speed upgrade, two HP memory upgrades, and seven process upgrades, costing a total of 11300 zenny."

"Well well well, it does seem like everything is in order," Suitachi mused as he swapped the refund over, took the money back with some additional from Hal's account, put it in the cash register, went to the back of the shop, and brought the necessary parts back.
"This is all of it," the shop owner commented as he set down the parts on the counter with an 'oomph' and then adjusted his glasses.
"Wow, I could go on a vacation with the stuff I racked in just now," Suitachi remarked as he checked his account on his PET as he walked to the back of the store.

"Thanks again. I have to think of what to do with these quickly... there isn't any time to waste!" With that, Hal scooped up the sizable pile of upgrades and gave a quick nod. Turning, Hal walked out of the shop at a brisk pace. He had forgone running in light of the fact that he needed a clear head to devise what exactly he would put into the functions of these new upgrades... Old and new ideas formed and mingled in Hal's head as he left the shop and headed for his chopper.

The bell rings as Damian walked into the store, "Man, i'm getting confused, I feel like i'm in three places at once..."

heading for the counter, Damian places 1,100 zenny on the counter, "Can I have a hp upgrade and a sig booster?"

A shoe comes flying out of nowhere, knocking Damian unconscious...
He wakes up later to find the upgrades in the aforementioned shoe and 1,100z out of his account.
There's also a note reading, "You've been Suitachi'd. Have a nice day."

"Ooooooww..."Damian groaned as he got up. heading out the door, Damian heads towards electown for the epic war...

James walked into the Suitachi Science Labs Navi Shop, feeling a wave of nostalgia wash over him. The teenager walked to the counter and in lieu of his PET, took out a PET Card that was already linked to his own personal (and tiny) account. Noticing the shopkeeper wasn't here, James tapped on the glass a few times to get his attention and placed the card on the table.

"Excuse me, but could I get a Process Upgrade and a Process Edit?"

"Ah~ A new customer I see, well, you should always check how prices work before you get stuff. Let's see... your items come to a total of..." Suitachi mumbled, doing some calculations in his head, "200 zenny."
The shopkeeper swiftly took the money from James' account, through what method, the normal person would not know. He adjusted his glasses as he went to the back of the shop.
Moments later, he returned placing the parts, fully packaged in front of James.
"Have a nice day."

As Rose entered the shop, Mokusei couldn't help but roll his eyes. Knowing here, this will only take forever. It's a good thing she doesn't have much money.

Rose, however, was pretty prepared for this shopping trip. She had come in knowing exactly what she had wanted, had researched this topic, and now knew just what she had to buy. I need to give Mokusei cooler attacks. So I need to buy a Process Upgrade and a Process Edit. She thought to herself. And there will be no losing sight of this goal.

Walking up to the front desk, she quickly leafed through the catalogue and looked for the prices. Wow, the things I want are pretty cheap. She thought, looking at the prices. Only 60 zenny for that Edit, and 100 zenny for the Process Upgrade.

Checking her funds, she noted that she had far more than that available. Alright, I could even buy something else. She thought. Looking through the book, she looked for anything interesting.

"The objects are 160 zenny, total." Mokusei informed her quietly.

"Hush!" She quietly hissed back. "I know. I'm gunna get something else too." She said.

Mokusei once again rolled his eyes. I knew it. He thought. Rose wasn't paying attention to him, however, and this action went unnoticed.

Damn, everything else seems to be out of my price range. That "Speed Upgrade" seems cool, but it's way out of my league. I'll have to save up for it. For now, it looks like I'll have to settle for an HP memory, because a Custom Expansion doesn't seem like it would do me much good without any more Navicust parts. Besides, the HP memory seems to have pretty good reviews. Rose decided.

"Excuse me." Rose said to the store clerk. "Could I buy a Process Upgrade, a Process Edit, and an HP Memory?" She quickly laid her zenny on the counter. "1,160 zenny, right?"

"Well, actually, since you're buying that process upgrade, your total will come to 1200 zenny," Suitachi remarked as he placed the parts on the counter while swiping Rose's money.
"Have a nice day," the shopkeeper remarked with a creepy pedophilic look at Rose, though it was just probably her imagination.

After the correction, Rose responded quickly. "Oh, Sorry, I must not have counted correctly."

After the rest of the exchange, and Rose was slightly weirded out. Grabbing the new parts, she thought, Wait, what was that look?

Thinking back, she decided that it could've been her imagination. Still, that was weird. . . I hope it is my imagination, otherwise I would have to think of this guy as a freak. As she thought, however, she realized that she might as well buy another Process upgrade while she was in the store.

"Excuse me, could I please get another Process upgrade, too?" She asked politely. Getting ready to lose another 200 zenny, but not wanting to lose more than expected, she decided to clarify the price. "That's 200 zenny, right?"

Great, even more stuff. I knew she wouldn't be able to only buy what she had planned on buying. Mokusei thought quietly from the PeT.

Suitachi twitched as he adjusted his glasses.
"Right, one more Process Upgrade coming up," the shopowner mumbled as he trudged to the back of the store and returned a little while later with the ordered part.
"Have a nice day," he mumbled, and before Rose could sneak away with the money, she found that her account mysteriously had 200 less zenny.
There was a note attached to the parts package, with the shopowner nowhere in sight, the netop took a look at the note and read it.
"You've been Suitachi'd."

Suitachi's? Rose wondered. But I planned on paying him . . . Rose snatched the new parts up and started walking out. Although the fact that he got all that money out when I didn't notice is pretty incredible.

Wow. he is pretty strange. She thought, walking out the door. Though I must admit that he makes these trips to the shop interesting.

Mill walked through the doors into the shop, taking note of how vacant it seemed. Huh... I figured it'd be busier around here. Does this shop even get enough business? Curious, Mill perused the shelves of the store, seeing if there was anything worth buying. After a few things caught his eye, Mill walked up to the counter and called out, "Hello? I'd like to buy an HP Memory and two Process Upgrades! I've got the 1300 zenny right here!"

((Reminder: Keep your zenny out of the signature tabs))

"Right'o then," Suitachi commented, bringing up the parts and placing them in front of Mill. 1300 zenny then magically disappeared from Mill's account.
"Have a nice day!" the shop owner commented, waving lazily at Mill's possibly retreating back.

The door to the shop slid open as Duke finally reached the navi shop. Looking just as tired as before, he lazily made his way up to the counter.

"Hey, Suitachi," he yawned, bracing himself on the counter. "Can I get a third speed upgrade, and two process upgrades?" He reached into a pocket and drew out his PET. "17500z, I belive."
