TempoMan perked up and nodded towards Amy as she arrived and gave off all the signs of a navi new to purchasing upgrades. He offered her a reassuring smile.
"Yes indeed, welcome! Upgrades and repairs, if you need them." He paused while she made her request, then nodded again, turning to one side and accessing a small console that swiftly materialised several small packets. The three each looked a little different as he laid them out on the counter in front of her and accepted the payment in return.
"Oh, no need to worry about physical parts - that's all become pretty optional in recent years you know. We still sell physical chip upgrades in the main store, to operators, of course, and it's convenient for some, but really, the physical chips just contain firmware updates and efficiency restructures that work cumulatively with each other. It's not too difficult to do the same thing with direct data transfers just like these!" He grinned again and pushed the three upgrades across to Amy.
"It's all pretty straight forward, but you might need your operator to grant permissions and confirm the updates, on their side, once you get around to installing them. Anything else I can get for you today? If not, do have a good morning!" He tipped an invisible hat towards Amy and concluded their business, then turned his attention towards the other navi that had entered behind her.
((Which I need someone else to do ^.^))

"Thank you for waiting! Two powerups and two process upgrades... one moment," he said, taking the glowing zenny packet and subsequently tapping the console next to him. A scanning light briefly washed over Lyntael's body, before a few nondescript boxes with "UPGRADES" and a happy-looking Tempoman caricature waving a greeting printed on the top. The shopkeeper Navi blinked for a few moments, before sighing. "Er, right, those weren't supposed to be out on production yet..." he said, returning a sheepish look to Lyntael. "It should be all in there, though. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a nice day!"

"Really...?" Amy was surprised; she hadn't expected this turn of events. As the three packets lay in front of her, the realisation that they'd never have to return to the physical SciLab gave Amy some much-needed relief. It was clear that Eric had some difficulties with that area; although she hadn't yet worked up the nerves to press either her operator or his sister about it, her curiousity hadn't yet beaten her resolve not to create any more unnecessary dramas for herself.
"Thank you," Lily acknowledged, hoping for her navi's meditative trance to not be taken as impoliteness. It was enough for Amy to snap back to her senses as she did a small bow and collected the three unique packets from the counter before turning around and heading for the door. She now realised this space wasn't a network, it was just a building in a larger space.
As she headed towards the door she passed another female navi that gave her an energetic smile and a wave to accompany it. Amy wasn't used to such interaction from passersby, and awkwardly tried to reciprocate the action a moment too late. It was possible the yellow figure may have missed the gesture as she moved to the counter for her own assistance, leaving Amy waving at the wall in front of her.
"Awwwwwkwarrrrrd..." Lily whispered from behind, the taunt filling Amy's cheeks with a rosy red as she barrelled forward towards the door, almost impacting it before opening it and stepping through to the street outside.
Lily couldn't help but cackle some more as the two walked down the road, boots hitting the pavement just a little too hard. "We need to work on your people skills, don't we," she tried to justify the laughter as Amy stormed down the pathway.
"Oh whatever!" she seethed under her breath, feeling the imaginary stares of every passerby burn into her despite not a single program paying her any attention. "Eric, has Max worked out where he wants us to go yet?"
"Right here, you know," the man in question pointed out through her intercom. "Did you finish droppin' off your friends?"
"Of course. So where are we going?" The attitude was cooling off, but her face was still red.
"I need you to visit three stores in Electown. I emailed you the shop names, the parts I want and some money. Look for the things with (i)s above them, they'll help you out." The navi heard an odd creaking sound as Max groaned. "I'm done for tonight. If you get the parts we'll continue tomorrow morning." Some thudding sounds followed that gradually got softer until they disappeared completely.
(i) things...? Amy pondered. The instruction might make more sense once they were there. "Alright then, I guess we'll head for that Electown portal you were talking about earlier, Eric." Amy fiddled with the three items as she walked. "On the way, can you grant permission for me to install digital updates...?"
Eric's hands were already digging into his backpack. "Just a second..."

Lyntael received her updates with another small nod and a quiet 'thank you' towards TempoMan, then turned to make leave the store. She paused just beyond the threshold, her eyes drawn to the other navi again as she departed - the little butterfly briefly fascinated her and for a moment sh debated chasing after the other woman to strike up a conversation... but Rogan was waiting for her, and the other navi seemed like she was already deeply involved in conversation with her operator. Oh well; she let the thought go and made her way towards a network transit that could get her to her other destination quickly.

The portal she wanted to use was engaged by someone else's server, so instead of dropping in directly to the shop Amy had to take a link to a generic public portal a block away from the shop. Amy didn't mind, and the walk itself was much more enjoyable with her child-like friend in tow. It was an odd scene to watch, a lady in a Victorian-esque cyan dress with matching wings of seemingly no origin escorting a female child in its own princess-like pink and white gown. Amy's flowing violet hair hid Lily's presence altogether, as per the norm; nobody would have known she was attached to the lady's back.
Amy pushed the door to the navi shop open and allowed Sakura to go in first before following behind her. Sakura ran off to the side in awe of a video on the wall's monitor showing off a dancer combining powerful battle moves with precision choreography, and without giving the order Amy could feel Lily's arms already loosening from her station. She watched as the butterfly glided down to the child's level, giving Amy an opportunity to conduct her business.
She didn't make the same mistake as last time, now that she knew she was in the right place. She approached the counter with the right amount of money in hand. "Hello again," she greeted the navi behind the counter. "Can I please get two Process Upgrades? I believe it should be this much," she commented whilst placing 2100 zenny onto the counter.

As she approached the counter, Amy's greeting drew the attention of the shop navi back to herself - his own gaze momentarily distracted by the small Sakura with a curious expression. She brushed it away after a moment though, and gave Amy a welcoming smile.
"Hello, yes, I can get that for you, just let me confirm for a second..." He appraised Amy briefly with a measuring eye then nodded and reached below the counter to select the right packages for her and sliding them across the counter to her. With the same motion he lifted his hand to accept her payment and nodded again, making the zenny swiftly disappear.
"That's a v10 and 11 process upgrade for you. Do come by again if you need anything else!" TempoMan gave her another brief, amiable wave, before another navi's shopping needs drew his attention. As he moved away, he spared another short, curious glance at the small child in the store, but quickly returned to his other business.

The upgrades were uploaded into her mainframe as she thanked the shopkeep before turning back towards her partners. Amy couldn't help but smile as she watched the little program in a dress try to match the on-screen navi's dance moves; a lack of dexterity didn't stop Sakura from trying to match the fighter's moves, even if she didn't need to dodge imaginary viruses in the process.
"Be honest," Lily commented as Amy drew near. "She's got talent for such a small frame, wouldn't you agree...?"
"Oh absolutely. They wouldn't be putting her on TV if she wasn't."
A groan followed. "I was talking about Sakura, you dummy."
"Oh." In the navi's mind, Sakura's dancing was cute, for sure, but... was it skilled...?
"Come on you, let's keep moving," she directed whilst placing her hand on the girl's head, careful not to mess up the giant bowtie still tied around her fringe.
The girl's attention was immediately drawn away from the screen at being summoned, as her right hand found Amy's left. They proceeded towards the shop's front as Lily slid into Amy's hair and her arms and legs found contact with her back.

Walking in quietly the newly garbed Hare would come in, hands in his new pants pockets as he looked about, seeing the various tempomen running about, but otherwise, he would walk on up to the counter and pull out a small handful of zenny. Long time, Tempoman. Just here after a...poorly thought out plan. Need me one-a them "Signature Resets" since I need a quick reconfiguration. He said with a chuckle, before a ping came at the back of his head, the hare taking a moment with his hand on his ear and reading the data he was just sent, a recipt of the new bounty that had been taken appearing in his other as he unfurled it swiftly. A grimace and flash of anger on his eyepatched face as he frowned shortly after, eye(s) narrowing at the bounty. The hare quickly brought out a 1000z bill and plopped it on the small pile of coins he put on the counter. That little shit, you clean up after me and Prose twice and- Ugh. Gonna have a long, borderline abusive talk with them later." He murmured the last part under his breath as he looked back at the Tempoman at the counter. "I need me an Aqua Buster upgrade to replace my Elemental one. Looks like I get to "enjoy" a few third degree burns against some Swordy-F2s in my future...among other things. That would be much appreciated my man." He continued before waiting for him to process the order.
Buying: Signature Reset (180z) and Aqua Elemental Buster upgrade, replaces Elemental Buster (1000z) for a total of 1180z
Have: 1760z
After purchase: 580z

As TempoMan zipped to the section of the counter that Jazz approached, he nodded and smiled at the greeting, but didn't seem to directly recognise the new-look hare. He grinned and brought forward a small data crystals, passing it across the counter.
"Must have been a while if you're calling them that, friend. I don't think we've used the term 'signature reset' in years... they're called Process Edits now. Works about as you'd expect though. Let me know if you..." He trailed off as Jazz devolved into a heated rant that was clearly not directed at him. He held his peace and then retrieved the second part of the order swiftly.
"I can get you one of those too, no problem. I... hope your hunt goes smoothly." He processed the payment in short order and did his best to offer the other navi a reassuring smile; friendly as he was, this clearly wasn't his business.
