Inside the shop

"Sure thing," Suitachi replied, smiling and taking the 15000 zenny and placing it in the register, then tossing the chip playfully back at Shigeru.

"One moment... where did I-? Oh! ACK!" the glasses man stated, fumbling around the back of the store, before crashing into something, sending some boxes tumbling harmlessly down. It was a comical look though.

"Darn it all! Geez!" Suitachi coughed from the giant dust cloud that formed, coming out of it and carrying a package under his right shoulder. The shopkeep placed it firmly on the counter.

"It's not broken, I can assure you that much. But I can't say the same thing about myself," the former operator winced at a cracking sound in his back.

"Have a nice day anyway," Suitachi said.

Shigeru LOSE: 15000z. GET: Speed Upgrade.
Shigeru grinned at the antics of the absentminded shop owner, and plugged the update software into his PET. A few moments later, two messages popped up on the screen. The update was installed, and Voltman's recovery had completed. Thanks for the help, Suitachi. Talk to you later. With that, Shigeru walked out of the shop.

It was only a few moments before Voltman woke up again. Oh, man, I feel loads better... Shigeru pulled up the holoscreen from the PET and sat down at a nearby bench. Good to hear it. Now, as for what to do next, I was thinking... Voltman interrupted Shigeru mid sentence. I was thinking we'd take another crack at getting through the depths of Scilab Net. Shigeru stopped, giving Voltman an inquisitive stare before shrugging and heading back to his jack in location.
Keera had walked into the shop as she approached the counter casually. She had filled out a small order script with the request of a single speed upgrade and four process upgrades as she tore the script from the booklet and placed her card on it loaded with Zenny data and the amount of 14,000 written across the sheet's top. She folded her arms patiently remaining silent.
"Slow day, huh?" Suitachi grumbled, processing the order, taking the cash, and setting down the upgrades in front of Keera.

"Have a nice day," the glasses man commented, sifting through the parts.

Keera LOSE: 14,200z
Keera GET: Speed Upgrade, Process Upgradex4
Keera had kept a hold of the upgrades for now, but she didn't deem this necessary to apply them. First she needed something to be handled with Empress. Turning and walking away from the shopkeep, she had let out a small yawn heading back towards "Home Base."
"What's this...?" Na'im asked Djinni as she appeared in front of him as a hologram, the flames levitated above her shoulders with mouths slightly opened. "I wasn't aware you were pregnant... Or, y'know, a mutant..."

"Their fault!" Djinni shouted and pointed at the two flames at the same time, "I was innocent, I tell you! I had nothing to do with it! Don't put me in jail!"

"Bwahahaha!" laughed the left flame, then started to speak with its voice that sounded like Djinni's but grittier. "If you are, then we are too! We are you!" Ghoul said, "Remember?" A tongue made entirely of flames was stuck out in a taunting manner, only to be pulled back in directly.

Expecting a reaction from the one called Marid too, it remained quiet as they all waited. The mouth sometimes opened as if it were to speak, but then closed again. "Ah," she suddenly started, "It's actually Na'im's fault."

"What?" Djinni said quietly and turned to the right flame, "What do you mean?"

"Ah, I may be able to answer that," Na'im started, causing Djinni to look at him instead, "At first I gave your personality program a poke at. Its current state was unsuitable for combat. I filled in the blanks with aggression and intelligence."

"So you're saying we emerged from these things?" Marid asked.

Tapping the tips of his index fingers against each other, he started to mutter to the three. "I'm not really that good at programming, so I may have messed up somewhere..." was his reply, "But this isn't so bad, so there's no reason for despair."

"You're not the one who has two other voices blathering at you," Djinni whined quietly and looked from left to right, then towards Na'im again. "Well, I guess I can survive... I'll have to... My destiny depends on it..." she said as she held her hands to her chest and closed her eyes.

"Actually," Na'im started, glancing sideways slightly, "I've got three voices blathering at me."

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" the three voices shouted in perfect harmony, looking at each other as they did so and laughed. Ghoul's voice, however, was a tad creepy to be laughing with her, so the others quickly stopped.

"Let's get some information first," Na'im said as the three went back to being silent, "So we can prepare for the worst. Oh right..." The last bit was said as Na'im realized he was still inside the store. Silently he walked out and started to go looking for a place to stay for the night.
Roy edged his way into the store. He didn't feel too comfortable with heavily populated areas and had broken into a cold sweat. He'd tried reasoning with himself about how illogical it was for him to be timid in such places. But still, he couldn't help feeling apprehensive as he made his way to the counter and pulled out a folded list from his pocket.

"H-Hello. Um.", he greeted the man before him, "I would like... two navicust expansion packs (2500), four process upgrades (3400), uh, two HP memory upgrades (4500) and a, erm, Shield program (3000) p-please."

Total = 13400z
"Right away!" Suitachi called, adjusting his glasses, taking the money, putting it in the register and disappearing into the back of the store for a while.

--

A few minutes later, Suitachi was heaving a giant crate up to the counter, before firmly setting it down in front of Roy. Wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead due to the endeavor, the glasses man sighed, panting as he commented, "Have a nice day."


Roy LOSE: 13400z
GET: Navicust Expansionx2, Process Upgradex4, HP Memoryx2, Shield NCP
Roy's left eye began to twitch feverishly when it caught sight of the heavy box that was set before him. He paused for a moment with a "You cannot be serious" look on his face. The heavy container simply sat there in it's quietly content way.

"Er... thanks.", he sighed deeply at the counter. He took the flaps in his hands, heaved the crate onto his chest and tried not to look awkward as he hobbled out of the door.
K walked into the shop with a giant smile on his face. He slapped down two level 1 process upgrades and 7100 zenny to the shop table. "I heard that you can cash in this piece of junk? If that's true...I would like to buy a speed upgrade, a HP Memory, and couple of the new Process upgrades!"

Refund:
2x Process Upgrade Level 1: 6000 Zenny
Total: 7185+6000 = 13185 Zenny

Purchase:
Level 2 Speed Upgrade: 10,000 Zenny
Level 4 Hp Memory: 2,500 Zenny
Level 1, 2, 3 Process Upgrade: 100+200+300 = 600 Zenny
Total: 13,100 Zenny

13,185 - 13100 = 85 Zenny

"...",

"What's wrong?"

"I'm so broke...'
Ceres strolled into the store casually, taking a look around in the most cursory fashion, although he already knew what he wanted and exactly how much it would cost anyways.

Process edit, please, he requested, fishing 100z out of his pocket and putting it on the counter. His eye catching on a process upgrade, he smiled slightly before adding, Oh, and a process upgrade as well, please. He then fished the extra few hundred Zenny he'd need out of his pocket and added that to the rather unkempt pile accumulating on Suitachi's counter.

Process Edit: 100z
Process Upgrade #5: 600z

Suitachi stepped out of the back room, dragging with him a fairly sizable cardboard box. It wouldn't be too crazy to guess that it was heavy, either, considering that he was already breaking out in a wild sweat. After finally making it back to the counter, Suitachi squatted down, dug his fingers under the box, and heaved, lifting the box up in perhaps the greatest show of strength the parts vendor had ever displayed.

"What's... with these... big orders... lately?" gasped Suitachi before pushing the parcel across the counter to K. After taking a moment to pull himself back together, Suitachi took a moment to eye the items K was trying to trade in.

"Old Process Upgrades? Wow, haven't seen any of these in a while... Well, the exchange rate's still good, so you should just be able to pay these parts off." explained Suitachi as he took the obsolete items and withdrew the necessary zenny from K's account. Having finally finished the humongous order, Suitachi turned his attention to Ceres's order.

"... That's it? Finally, something easy!" exclaimed the seller as he wiped some last beads of sweat from his forehead before diving behind the mysterious counter. A moment later, he reappared, with requested items in hand. "Just a small exchange of money... and you're done too. Have a nice day, you two."

K LOSE: 2 Obsolete Level 1 Process Upgrades, 7100 zenny
K GET: Speed Upgrade, HP Memory, 3 Process Upgrades

Ceres LOSE: 700 zenny
Ceres GET: Process Edit, Process Upgrade
"Thank you, Suitachi."

"Heh, you could've asked me to help you. You look drenched in sweat!"

K picked up the box of upgrades with ease and quickly walked away with a big smile on his face, content with what he just received.
Thanks much, Ceres said to the tired-looking vendor, then pocketed his goods and walked out.
Dave walked in the store
"Whoa, I think this is going to be one of our favourite places" said Dave as hee looked around.
"I completely agree" came the short responde.

Dave moved closer to the counter.
"Hello there ... Umm ... I'd like to buy a HPMemory"
"Don't you forget something?"
"Oh, yeah, I'd like to buy a Process upgrade as well"

After that, Dave prepared his money, and looked around again, examining the goods, and the people inside the shop.


HPMemory - 1000 Zenny
Process upgrade - 100 Zenny

Σ: 1100 Zenny
"Well, another small order." Suitachi said, looking over his shoulder at the Man who had walked in. "That's easy enough."

Suitachi disappeared for a moment while grabbing the requested products. He returned to the counter with them in hand. He slid them to Springfield before taking the zenny.

"Thanks for the purchase. have a nice day." the Shopkeeper said, after completing the transaction.

Springfield Loses: 1100 zenny
Springfield Gains: 1xHPMemory, 1xProcess Upgrade

((OOC: Also, you should have your Zenny listed somewhere in your Signature outside of the tabs.))
Rose entered the store and approached the counter. "There are an awful lot of really useful looking things here, but everything is so expensive." She thought to herself. "I guess I'll stick with a Process Upgrade for now. I'll have to save up my money if I want to get some of those bigger things."

Standing in front of the counter, she gave her order to the man whose job it was to take it. "Hey there, one Process Upgrade, if you please." she requested.

Rose readied the appropriate funds for the purchase.

((OOC:See, The way zenny works is ambiguous, so so was I.))

((700 zenny for a Process Upgrade))
