Navi Net-Shop

{EAX033}

{<<< From Homepages: {Amlipeda} - Homepage of Amity.EXE <<<}

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.

Lv.10 Process Upgrade - 1000z
Lv.11 Process Upgrade - 1100z

Total Required: 2100z
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.

Amity GET: PU v10-11
Amity LOSE: 2100z
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.

Jazz stood there silent for a moment and shook his head, grabbing the items. Ah...sorry. It's...been a rough few weeks...thank you Tempoman, don't get hurt out there. He spoke simply before walking away, figuring out where he should head for a quick run...
