Inside the shop

Victor found himself within the shop once more. It irked him that he had to rely on Suitachi's upgrades, but he wasn't about to risk fiddling with his Navi's programming with his already corrupted data. He glanced at the listed prices and shook his head ruefully before wandering up to the counter.

"Excuse me," Victor said. "I would like to purchase one speed upgrade and a PowerUP for my Navi's buster attack." The NetOp rummaged in his pocket for his debit card and set it on the counter. "Since these would be my first upgrades, that would be 6,000z, correct?"

"Hm, you look like a fresh face. Hold on, then," Suitachi said as he glanced towards the glass cases that held some of the upgrades. Reaching out, he opened two cases and took two upgrades, closing them immediately after. Placing them down on the counter, the space that the card was on top of flashed green, scanning the card and deducting the appropriate amount.

"Have a nice day, now," he said with a smile.

Victor GET: Speed Upgrade, PowerUP - Attack (2/1/1)
Victor LOSE: 6000z

"Hm," Victor paused for a a moment before scooping up his card and upgrades. "Well, thank you and have a good one."

Victor wandered back out of the store.

"Coming in," Shin whistled, walking toward the front counter after getting off the metroline from ACDC.

"I'll take my level 22 to 26 upgrades and a Buster Reset. I think that's 12750z, here," the ace mumbled, placing a card with that amount on the table.

"After that, get me a PowerUP," Shin said, twirling an extra 4000z into his hand.

[Transaction 1: Process Upgrade 22-26, 1 Buster Reset (for 3 PowerUps)= 12750z]

[Transaction 2: PowerUPx1 = 4000z]

"On your way," Suitachi replied as he did a backflip into the back room, disappearing for merely an instant before somersaulting back into the room, with... nothing? Then, a whir was heard from the back room. The whir quickly turned loud as a cannon blast was heard. A cardboard box flew out from the back room, hitting the ace in the face and landing with a 'thump' on the countertop.

"Have a nice day," the shopkeeper said with a smirk.

Shin GET: Process Upgrade x5, Buster Reset, PowerUP
Shin LOSE: 16750z

"Ow," Shin grimaced, rubbing his nose and picking up the upgrades.

"I wish more good business to you," Shin said, waving.

Vita peeked into the store before walking in and crouching by the glass at the counter. "Hey there." She said, not quite to the upgrades, however. "Could I get... An HP Upgrade and one of the Attack PowerUps, please. V1s, the cheap units." She added, pulling herself up and motioning she was ready to swipe her card. "Oh, and one Process upgrade as well." She mentioned, swiping her card to pay off the whole thing. It was every last one of her busting zenny, but she'd make Zeta work for more soon enough.

"Coming right up," said Suitachi as he quickly produced the upgrades ordered from his pockets. Those must be some deep pockets. He dusted them off and handed them to Vita, taking her card and swiping it quickly.

"Have a nice day."

Vita GET: HP Memory, PowerUP - Attack (2/1/1), Process Upgrade
Vita LOSE: 2100z

"Thank you very much." She told him, taking the upgrades and jogging off. "Okay Zeta, let's head home and get some of this stuff installed, hm?"

"Whew...Today's been a handful."

After running around here and there to finish his shopping, Marius stopped by the navi shop. Walking up to the counter with a cash card in hand, he looked around the upgrades in the front counter and handed it over to Suitachi. "Could you get me the HP Memory and a single Process Upgrade? Much appreciated."

Requested Upgrades

[li]Level 6 HP Memory [3,500[s]z[/s]]

• Level 19 Process Upgrades [1,900[s]z[/s]]
  

Total: 5,400z

"HP Memory and a Process Upgrade. You got it," Suitachi replied as he went to one of his countertop displays and rummaged around a bit. Finally finding what he was looking for, he removed the upgrades and put them on the counter, taking the card as well.

"Have a nice day."

Marius GET: HP Memory, Process Upgrade
Marius LOSE: 5400z

As soon as she was in the shop, Sabrina made her way over to the counter, knowing exactly what she was going to get. "One HPMemory and a PowerUP, please!...Huh?" The book describing the shop's wares was open, and what it was describing piqued her interest; a NaviCust program that could expand the maximum chip folder size. And it came in two different sizes...neat. Pricy, but neat.

"Ooh, that looks sweet! I'll take one of those, too!" She pointed at the picture of MegaFolder2, as she started unloading a good chunk of cash.

[Purchasing Order:
1-HPMemory (8th) - 4500z
2-PowerUP (10th) - 10000z
3-MegaFolder2 NCP - 7000z
TOTAL - 21500z]

Suitachi looked at the price of the stuff Sabrina was ordering. He looked her in the eye for quite some time, then shed a single tear. The tear fell to the ground, and dripped onto the tiled floor. Suddenly, the shop lights began to flicker, then go out. After a short while, the lights came back on, with Suitachi grinning like anything else, a box of upgrades in front of him, the chunk of cash gone.

"Have a nice day..." the shopkeeper said, as if entranced in a dream-like state.

Sabrina GET: HP Memory, PowerUP, [MegaFolder2] NCP
Sabrina LOSE: 21500z

After taking a few moments to comprehend what she thought she might've just seen, Sabrina did an about face, and started making her way towards another shop...

(to ACDC!)

The computer Suitachi used received an email with a data string attached.

~Decoding... Please Wait...~

~Done. Message Reads:~

Greetings. My name is Destin Obscura and I am currently unable to come to the shop right now. I wish to request a few upgrades to be sent to my PET for proper installation.

I require the following:

1. Custom Expansion x1 [1000z]
2. Process Upgrade x2 [100+200=300z]

Total costs: 1300z.

~Zenny present in broadcast. Awaiting upload.~

Suitachi glanced at his register. It was making odd sounds for some reason. How rather strange. Looking at the screen, some indecipherable code ran through his vision, and he got a bit of a shock at the wall of text. Then, the register began to run some automatic decoding thinger, and translated what he assumed to be alien transmission into readable English.

"Hmph. Lazy-ass kids these days, can't get off their prissy little couch potato butt to walk a few blocks to the metroline. What with their encrypted messages and shit. Makes me sick," Suitachi grumbled to himself. He thought to himself, was it even possible to send upgrades through Net access? Looking at the upgrade box, he picked out three of them and put them into the register. The machine immediately complied, sending them to their recipient.

"Huh. Never thought it could do that," the shopkeeper mused. He typed in a short message to go along with it.

Here's your upgrades, and get your lazy ass over here if you want any more in the future. This'll be the exception I'll make for my over-the-counter-only policy.

Take care, and have a nice day.

Davis walks into the eyes half open and yawning and sort of slumped over. Stopping in the middle of the shop he looks around and scratches his head almost forgetting what it is that he came in for. "Davis did you forget the upgrades already? we came here for a HP memory upgrade and some process upgrades." Davis chuckles and smiles "oh yea thanks Blitz." Davis walks up to the shopkeeper"um hey i would like a HP Memory upgrade and like two Process upgrades please?"

"HP Memory, two Process Upgrades..." Suitachi answered, as he ducked under the counter to pick up said upgrades. He looked at his customer slightly suspiciously, then tapped a few keys on his register. The display flashed with the price.

"That'll be 1300 zenny, please."

Davis GET: HP Memory, Process Upgrade x2
Davis LOSE: 1300z

"Oh Davis your too laid back sometimes." Davis laughs and stratches his head"Yea your right i guess i should pay more attention from now on. Sorry about that shopkeeper dude." With his now updated Zenny Davis looks at the shopkeeper "Thanks man and i'll try not to be so absent minded." He waves by and exits the store.

Popping his head into the store once more, Aoi quickly looked over the wears again. He made a lot of cash on his trip and he could now afford the bigger upgrades. Looking over the various supplies, he saw the HP memory and Attack Power up. Nodding his head, he quickly approached the front desk and looked up and smile.

"Thank you for the process upgrade the other day Sir! It was really handy! Can I get a HP Memory and Attack Power Up Please?" Aoi placed the 2000 zenny on the counter before he realize what he wanted with it. "Oh! I would also like two more process upgrades please!"

<<Buying HP Memory V1 for 1000, Power Up for Attack for 1000, and V2 and V3 for process upgrades at the cost of 500 (200+300). Total, 2500>>
