Inside the shop

"My apologies," Duke said, taking his PET back and leaving the shop.

"Yeah." Trenn replied, tapping a few keys on his PET. A memory stick ejected from a small port, prompting Trenn to speak again. "One Process Upgrade, and two HP memories. There should be enough money on the stick." Trenn grabbed the memory stick and handed it to Suitachi, sighing.

((HP Memory x2 = 4500z, Process Upgrade = 600z, Total: 5100z, Available: 5650z))

"I'll go get it," he said and walked to the back, after placing the memory stick on the counter. A few seconds later he returned with a few disks that held the required things Trenn needed. "You kids these days know how much it costs," he said and put the memory stick into the port of a laptop that was positioned behind the counter. "OK," he said and slid the memory stick back to Trenn, accompanied with the other goods.

"Oh, and about your flight problem," Suitachi suddenly said as he had already turned around, glaring over his shoulder at Trenn. "Why don't you have your 'other' Navi kick Wiz's ass until he can fly high enough. It's worth a try," he joked, then walked through the store to clean things while laughing.

Trenn gave Suitachi a sour look, grabbed his things, and promptly walked out the way he came in, slipping the various disks in and out of the PET as he went.

Sabrina entered the shop, already accessing her zenny total like mad. "Let's see...it increases by 500 with each one you have...we've got 2 right now, so...aha! 7500z! I'll just get it ready to transfer..."

"...Watch out!" A voice suddenly erupted from her side, having just noticed something...

"Huh? ...Yikes!" The young woman suddenly found herself on her tiptoes, trying not to crash into the front counter. After a small amount of arm waving, she succeeded, and proceeded to act as though nothing had happened. "...Hi! I'd like 3 HPMemories, please!"

Suitachi blinked in surprise as Sabrina slipped her way into the shop, stopping at the counter. "Err, right," he started, "Anyway, 3 HP Memories? Here you go," he said, withdrawing three programs from what seemed to be hammerspace, and slapping them on the counter.

"There; run along now," Suitachi said. Looking at her account, Sabrina was mysteriously now missing 7500z...

Desmond entered the shop and immediately noticed a sign with the words: "Please Refund Your Obsolete Process Upgrades"

"Guess those voices were normal, Tennisman." Desmond said as he approached the counter.

"Hi, can I refund these process upgrades?" He asked.

Desmond looked over at the shop inventory and pulled back his PET from the desk while adding, "Just... One sec. Thanks."

Desmond walked over to the side and spoke to Tennisman, "We can get 8000 zenny for the refund. That's... A LOT of zenny."

Tennisman nodded on the PET screen.

"And we already have like 5000 zenny." Desmond added.

"You do not need to spend all of it at once." Tennisman reminded his operator.

"Heh heh heh." Desmond chuckled evilly, "Let's buy EVERYTHING!"

Desmond looked over the prices for the shop stock and tried to do some quick math. After failing miserably, he got Tennisman to do it for him. The pair spent several minutes huddled together trying to work out optimal purchases with the money they had. Desmond approached the front desk again with a confident stride.

"OKAY!" He announced with a smile, "I am returning these OLD process upgrades for 8000 zenny and I would like to buy ONE speed upgrade and EIGHT of the NEW process upgrade things."

((refund 3000 + 5000 = 8000))
((buying 5000 + [100 + 200 + 300 + 400 + 500 + 600 + 700 + 800] = 8600))
((total cost: -600 from my account))

((I should be able to get 8 upgrades since I get +2 levels from the speed I'm buying now))

Suitachi stared in amazement at the obsolete upgrades. "Someone's behind the times; I haven't seen someone try to refund these things for a few weeks now," he muttered, then swiped the old Process Upgrades from Desmond, throwing them into what appeared to be an old, rusty bucket of some sort. He then withdrew nine assorted program chips and held them between his fingers. A deft flick of his wrists later, all nine of them somehow ended up in Desmond's hand.

The very same Desmond who was now magically missing 8600z...

Desmond gladly grabbed his newly acquired swag and headed for the door while waving a small thank you to Suitachi.

"Alright! Chip shop time!" He said.

Zanzo casually walked in, PET in hand as he approached the counter. "Yo, it's been a while dude. This time 'round, I brought a list for ya, to keep things simple." he said with a calm smile...

LIST

-ProcessEdit(x4): 720z(180x4)
-HPMemory(x1): 4000z(1000+500x6)
-ProcessUpgrade(x3): 4200z(1300+1400+1500) (The HPMem bumps me to lv15, so...)

TOTAL: 8920z

(Uh... Oh, right. Bump...)

"Hey, that's a large sum of Zenny. Coming right up." The shopkeep said as he snatched Zanzo's list from him and headed into the back somewhere. After a brief moment Suitachi had returned and handed Zanzo his upgrades. He then waved Zanzo good-bye and returned to whatever it was he had been doing before. During this period of time, he also somehow subtracted the appropriate amount of zenny from his customer's account.

((Zanzo receives 4 Process Edits, 3 Process Upgrades, and an HP Memory, while losing 8920 zenny.))

Despite having received the goods, Sabrina did not run along. Instead, she walked over to one of the tables in the shop, sat down, and started typing some things. Afterwards, she flipped over her PET, and started installing the HPMemories she had purchased. And for someone that didn't know that much about PETs, she was doing a rather good job of it.

However, SplashMan was noticing her nonchalance almost right away. Usually his operator went straight from one place to another without stopping. And now she was just sitting around casually installing HPMemories? Something was weird, and he was gonna find out what it was. "So, uh...Sabrina? What were you typing just then?"

"Huh? Oh!" Having just placed the third and final item in, she closed the casing, and flipped her PET back over to the screened side. "Well, you should be tougher now that you've got a lot more HP, right? So I requested a mission for us!"

"...A mission?!" Despite his loud tone, the Navi wasn't so much angry as he was...flabbergasted. "I just went underwater and protected a village of friendly viruses from evil giant Larks! Can't we just take it easy for a little bit?!"

"Don't be all whiny! We'll take it a little slower after this mission, okay?" A beeping noise came from the PET, indicating a board response. "Ooh, they've got our mission ready! Wonder what we'll do next?"

"...I don't get a say in this, do I...?"

Wisely choosing to completely ignore her Navi's complaints, Sabrina read the reply...growing more and more aggrivated as she read. "...Are you serious?!"

"What? What's the mission?"

"...Someone in ElecTown can't change a light bulb because of viruses, and we gotta take care of them so they can do it. Also, whoever gave the mission kept calling me 'missy'. Seriously, who calls people that?" The 'little missy' stood up, and half-slammed her PET into its holster. "Well, we might as well get this over with..." She stormed out of the shop, none too happy that she just got the most boring mission ever. Though while no one could see it, SplashMan almost appeared to be smiling, despite lacking a mouth to do so...

(to ElecTown for I!)

Walking into the store, he pointed forwards at the counter and started to shout, "One AirShoes for excellent floating! Aerial combat is what I shall be promoting!"

"That was awful," Djinni's voice rang from the PET on Na'im's back, "Just tell him what you need... And your pose is bad too."

Letting his arms hang against his sides, Na'im glanced over his shoulder and replied to his Navi. "How can you even see that...?" he muttered. Turning back to face the counter, he looked around and said, "But yeah... One AirShoes program. Oh, and one of those Process Upgrades." He withdrew the amount of zenny necessary from his account and sent it to Suitachi's account.

(4000 + 1400)

Chad walked into the store in a hurried walk
"I'd like two more Navicust upgrades. That will be 5500z then... I'll have it as soon as these pending trades are processed." He said impatiently tapping at his PET.

The bell above the store's door rang as Mill stepped in, giving an exhausted sigh. "That was an insane fight..."

"We were well rewarded, though." responded Magna.

"Yeah, I guess so. Plus, now we have this awesome chip." said Mill, pulling out and looking at the GutPunch the Gigas left behind. After admiring it for a moment, Mill put it away and wandered the store shelves for a bit. He found what he was looking for easily enough, and walked up to the counter.

... Well, he would've, if there wasn't already a small line forming in front of it. Not in any particular rush, Mill just got in the back of the line, waiting to purchase his Speed Upgrade and 3 Process Upgrades.

(5000z + 300z + 400z + 500z = 6200z)

"Alright Alright, here we go," Suitachi stated, taking in the money and giving everyone their upgrades.

"Have a nice day," the glasses man commented, waving meekly.

Na'im LOSE: 5400z. GET: AirShoes NCP, Process Upgrade.
Chad LOSE: 5500z. GET: Navicust Upgradex2.
Mill LOSE: 6200z. GET: Speed Upgrade, Process Upgradex3.

Chad looked left and right hesitantly then grabbed his things and ran out of the store.

"I'm staying here for a bit," Na'im said as he looked at Suitachi, "I'm waiting for a person to finish his business." Swinging the PET around, he grabbed it like you would a guitar and continued to speak to Djinni, "Let's look up some viruses."

"Fine," Djinni said, "I'll just stop counting on them actually wanting to listen to me..."

From Na'im point of view he could see the PET's screen darken with a single light on it and took the screen closer to look at it. "What the..."

On the screen was Djinni, surrounded by darkness with a column of light shining down upon her, on the ground in a dramatic pose as she started to talk, "This cruel fate has been placed upon me...! A beautiful voice but no one to listen to me... My songs fall on dead men ears! Who can save m-"

Her acting was stopped abruptly as she disappeared and sent into the Internet. "Sorry," Na'im muttered with a smile on his face.

Shigeru walked into the shop, glad to see that a large group of customers had just finished receiving their upgrades. No line to wait in. Strolling up to the counter, he swiftly pulled up a few windows on the PET, a chip eventually sliding out of the side of the PET with the figure "15K" imprinted on it.
Hey, Suitachi. One last Speed Upgrade, please. He placed the chip on the counter near the cash register, and briefly pulled up Voltman's recovery progress, before putting the PET in sleep once more and waiting for the shopkeeper's response.
