You come into the shop hearing this music. You notice some impact and skorch marks around on the floor... and then you see the exploded corpse in the corner. You are about to turn around and book it when the shopkeeper looks up and says, "Oh welcome what would you like to-" he looks around "Whoops let me get that." °snaps° The intense music has calmed down you look around and all signs of damage are gone every crack mended every skorch rescinded not a speck of blood nor sign of the crumbled body remains. "Well now that thats handled what did you come in to get?" You very delicately purchase what you need but also leave as quick as possible this is not a place to stick around.

This song gives me a very specific emotion and story. You are at a fantasy shop counter about to pay. You decide to haggle to lower the price. You take the option of flirting with the shop keeper, but they have mad charisma and they are the one in charge. it’s an incredibly tense conversation, they have you on the ropes, and then force you to pay full price on your items. Basically you made Papyrus’ date from Undertale into a shop theme

The hero showed up to the shop after a close battle, knowing that his old trusty sword "the Glazer" had sadly kicked the bucket. The mysterious old man in the shop gave the hero a soft smile as he entered. The hero gestured for a sword made with black dragon scales, "How much is that?" The man behind the counter couldn't open his mouth to respond as the door opened again and in came the man the hero had just defeated. And a battle ensues once more, the hero grabbing the scale sword to parry the villain's hits. The shopkeeper got furious over his shop that had been flipped on its head, he chose to show his true form to the two. Kicking them out of the shop, he appeared to be a deadly creature, flailing limbs at the two in an attempt to smash. The hero and the villain share a bewildered look, and silently agreed to pause their disagreement to slay the creature. A long harsh battle was fought, but the two ended up victorious. They share some snarky comments and witty banter before the hero took off, his new sword in hand, only to find out that his potion belt had been stolen. "God damn it you!" The hero yells. I'm out of idead :)
