Inside the shop

"All right, just a sec," said Suitachi, pulling out some boxes from behind the counter. Counting out the upgrades from the boxes, he glanced at the zenny laid out on the counter, and nodded. "There we go, that's all of it," he said, packing it up into two plastic bags. "Twenty-six hundred, and eighty-five hundred."

Desmond sighed. That was a lot of money, but he considered it an investment and it was time to make it pay off.

"Thanks!" He waved to Suitachi, leaving the store and heading towards the promiseland of the NetVegas district.

((NetVegas))
Kenji made his way via his crutches inside and looked around at the stock, held a discussion with his navi then came to the counter when it was his turn.

He looked up at the clerk and said "Hello. I need a Break Shot buster effect upgrade.. Um a PowerUp.. And two Process Upgrades, please".

((Break Shot -1500, PowerUp#1 -1000, Process Upgrade#2 and #3 -200 and -300. Total -3000z))
"Thank you." Liliana said, taking the upgrades and then heading to the bathroom to have an amazing and highly detailed conversation with her navi off screen before heading back outside.
[Editing in a Suitachi approval retroactively because screw everything]

"Yeah, hold on," said Suitachi, scratching his face idly as he pulled out a box of upgrades and picked out the few that Kenji had ordered. "That should be it. Three thousand zenny," he said.

Kenji payed the clerk, took his merchandise with a "And thank you", and departed back for home to get these installed.
Roger had a pretty good idea of what he was going to buy by the time he entered the shop. He had just been in here and their inventory and prices were still fairly fresh in his mind. More than anything, he wanted to customize his navi even further and the only way to do that was through the process upgrades. The math had been worked out ahead of time as he approached the front desk and asked, "Hi, can I get Process Upgrades 5 through 10, please? It should be 4500z, right?"

He readied his bank card while waiting for Suitachi's response.

((Process Upgrades 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 = 500 + 600 + 700 + 800 + 900 + 1000 = 4500z))
Finny walked into the store as she twirled her PET around at the end of a strap, having the usual smile on her face as she neared the front desk. "He-yo, shopkeep! I want some upgrade for my navis, pronto!" The girl nudged to the side of a man she did not know, not caring whether or not he was there first and slipped the money down towards Suitachi. "Whoopsies, comin' through~"

"Yeah, should be," replied Suitachi to Roger, bending down over to grab some of the upgrades from the counter. Placing a large box marked "PU" on the countertop, he pulled out a few, and placed a Speed Upgrade beside them as well. "Oh, hey, watch it, little miss, don't want to fall over," he remarked, directing it at Finny.

"Mmm, all right, that should be it," he said, packing up the respective purchases into bags and handing them over to their intended recipients. "Thank you, and have a nice day."

"Thanks, shopkeep!"

Finny swiped the upgrades off the front counter and made her way to the door...Till she stopped halfway and turned back to the counter. "Ahah...Sorry about that, I think I took some of your upgrades instead of mine." She handed the Process Upgrade with the large "10" labeled on the top back to Roger, bowing her head in an apology as she took her own upgrades. "...You look pretty strange." said Finny as she took a closer look at the large man. "If you don't mind me saying, you look like a sailor but you don't smell like the beach...but more like a bleach."
"Hah! That IS mine!" Roger laughed while taking the package, "Thank you kindly, miss!"

He could tell the girl was from Creamland. He had mixed feelings about her as she was nice enough to start up a conversation with him, but also commented on his body odour. He sniffed his vest. She had a point though.

"Oh, yeah. Haha, I spend a lot of time cleaning things. I work as a janitor at the Scilabs. Me name- I mean, MY name is Roger. What's yours?" He said, extending his hand for a handshake and a toothy grin.
Finny didn't hesitate to return the handshake back to Roger, also returning the smile with her own. "You can just call me Finny, Roger. Finny Haydn." Though Roger's explanation that he works as a janitor cleared off the whole bleach smell, it still didn't fully explain why he was all dressed like a pirate in a way. Finny's curiosity was piqued and she couldn't help but to look into it more.

"So...From all those upgrades you bought, your navi must be pretty strong, right?" said the Creamland girl as she tries to be as discreet as possible. With a cocky grin, she pulled out her own gray-black PET and almost shoved it in Roger's face. "Wanna see how strong mine is!"
This was an interesting development. Roger had not yet tried fighting a navi in a genuine netbattle, though he had fought some navis already while exploring the net. He wondered if her navi was really as strong as she claimed and whether it was fair to go all out against her...

"Dohoho... If you're suggesting what I think you're suggesting, then I accept!" Roger chuckled, scratching his scruffy beard a bit, "DubloonMan and I will take ye- I mean, we'll take YOU on in a NETBATTLE!! Hah ha ha!"
"I appreciate your business but no netbattling in the store please." Suitachi interrupted, tapping a sign beside the front desk that read: "NO NETBATTLING IN THE STORE PLEASE"
"Geez, thought you were more loose with these types of things, shopkeep." said Finny as she was bit disappointed. Nonetheless, Roger was willing to try her at a Netbattle and she couldn't be anymore excited as she gripped onto her PET tightly. "You're on, sailor Roger! There should be a net-terminal just out side of here at some park, we'll take it from there!" Anxious, Finny began to rip through the newly-bought upgrades and immediately began to upload it into the PET one by one.

"F-Finny, what's going on?" asked Cambiare as he awoke from his small nap, still a bit tired from the last virus-busting session. "You're going to show the world how strong you became, Cambi. Just you wait, Cambi, just you wait!" The nervous navi already had a sense that things weren't going the way he wanted it to go, already pondering what's going to cross his unfortunate path this time...

-Destination: Scilab-
"Fine by me!" Roger replied.

He hurriedly shuffled to the door before Finny could reach it and held it open for her while she tore through her upgrades. It reminded him that he should probably open and install his upgrades as well if he wanted DubloonMan to be at his best.

"After you, miss." He said with a smile. His gold tooth shone brightly, almost as an ominous sign not to trust him.

He followed her out of the shop and towards whatever arena she was picking out.

((SciLab))
Iris slipped through the doors for the third time that day, looking a little bit embarrassed as she laid the desired goods on the counter before Suitachi.

"... Lots of catching up to do," she remarked, feeling a little like she needed to save face for having made such frequent trips. She laid her credit card beside the three small boxes, purposely avoiding the shopkeeper's eyes, her face firmly set in an inexpressive mask.

"Don't be so coy, miss" said Suitachi as he reached over to get the upgrades. "Perk up a little next time you come by, okay?" The shopkeeper took the credit card and swiped it into his computer, drawing out the necessary amount of zennies before returning the card back.

"Come back again!"

Completely inept about the world of electronics, Gale entered the Navi Shop and looked around. Posters of things she didn't recognize lined the walls with terminology that sounded familiar, but nothing she knew the definition of. As usual, she drew the attention of the other patrons in the store, most of them unable to hide their gawking. She wondered if any one of them could help her.

Her eyes crossed with one of the other customers, immediately deterring his gaze. She smiled.

"This could work..." she thought to herself and made her approach.

Leaning in close to the stranger, she began to work her feminine wiles on the unsuspecting man, "Hi, do you know anything about computers?"

It didn't take long for him to submit to her charms and explained how virus busting worked, the various upgrades available and their variable prices. A lot of the newfound information gone over her head, but enough of it stuck for her to make an informed decision about what to get.

"Thank you sooo much..." Gale said to the man, whose name she didn't care to ask for, "You've just been the biggest help to me. Now I know exactly who to turn to if I need anything. Hehe."

She caressed a finger over his cheek before turning to the find the front counter. As she walked up to greet the shopkeeper, she could easily tell he was fairly defenseless against the opposite sex judging from his wandering eyes. She leaned on the counter, arms crossed together just tightly enough to accentuate her cleavage without looking too out of place.

"Hi. I was interested in getting an HP Memory aaaand... Two Process Upgrades," she stated plainly, but her expression saddened a bit as she continued, "But these prices... Do you know if there'd be any discounts available?"

She pouted at Suitachi with her luciously full lips and idly swayed her hips in a slow, hypnotic fashion. None of her seductive actions were being made on a conscious level, but that didn't stop them from manifesting in the most alluring way possible.

((HP Memory 1 + Process Upgrade 1, 2 = 1000 + 100 + 200 = 1300z))
Iris took the upgrades and slipped away without a word, smiling inwardly at the other woman's forward behaviour. Well, he asked for 'perky'... Guess wishes do come true after all.

And while she felt she recognized something predatory in her thoughtless flirting, well... What he didn't know couldn't hurt him, right? She slipped out the door silently, leaving the cashier to deal with this new customer and heading for the subway.

[TO SOMEWHERE!]
Suitachi visibly swallowed as Gale said out her order, and narrowed his eyes. After realizing that he was staring for a good couple of seconds, he ducked under the counter, picking up the required upgrades from wherever he kept his things. "One HP Memory... and... two Process Upgrades," he muttered, putting them on the countertop without looking up. A plastic bag also came out, and packed up the upgrades. Maintaining a difficult poker face, he stood back up, and plainly stated, "I haven't given away a single discount in the years I've had this shop, miss. Terribly sorry about that. In any case, it all comes out to... thirteen hundred."
