"I was told this was a Gift Shop... There's usually products based on the history of the location... Do you know anything about a legendary being, artifact or... just any legend related to this place?"
Paprika does mean eyes at the shopkeeper

The shopkeeper smiles back at Paprika.
"This shop is tied to Asinate's 572nd orbital rest stop... at least it was. We seem to have been detached from most of the station, other than the docks." She points to another exit that seems to lead to some kind of dock. "I believe we've crashed on the planet of... Naeran, I think? A planet dominated by the Aracheans, though also well-known for dangerous monsters."

"If someone came here to find something specific, what would you say it is?"

"Um... the gift shop?" She scratches her head. "Most people just stop in for some snacks and drinks before continuing on. Our drink cozies are also quite popular. I don't really know much about Naeran. You should probably ask the Matriarch and/or Patriarch."

"I see... Thank you...
Anything you suggest I buy from you before I go?"
Malefio then whispers.
"Also... Are those guys bothering you?"

"We're having a sale on healing potions, and some free samples," the shopkeeper says. "And... no, they aren't."
"I'm going to open it!" the muscular shadow-man says.
"...You shouldn't..." the smaller one says.
They're still arguing about that chest...
"I'm going to do it!"

"I'll take the free potion."
Malefio will wait for the guys to open the chest. He wants to know why the shopkeeper doesn't care.

You let the shadow man open the treasure chest while you take one of the free samples.
The shadow flips it open. It's just got a few more healing potions and an empty jar in it. "Huh. I was expecting more."
"Strange. I don't remember that chest?" the shopkeeper mutters.
"...Suspicious."
"Hmph, let me see!" The old woman shadow shoves the other out of the way and leans into the chest.
It snaps shut on top of her. Watery tentacles sprout from the chest's side and start flailing wildly. You aren't sure which of them is screaming louder, the chest or the shadow.

Malefio signals Paprika and Lagos to wait and look at the shopkeeper.
"Can I leave or is that thing gonna attack the whole town?"

"Iunno," the shopkeeper says.
The chest swallows the shadow lady and clamps shut.
"Unhand her!" the muscular shadow yells. He kicks the chest. It cracks open and fires a stream of water, sending him crashing into the far wall.
"...Hm." The last shadow seems conflicted about what to do.
The chest shakes as the shadow lady struggles.

Malefio raises eyebrows, then signals Paprika to block the door. He stays in Fantasy mode and chooses Monster Hunter for combat, hammer weapon. He holds the hammer in hand, but doesn't intervene yet. He looks at the chest deal with the shadows, they had it coming after all, but will see if that stops there.

You stand back and observe. The muscular assassin picks himself up and attacks again. The chest manifests those water tentacles again and slaps him aside.
When he picks himself up, he doesn't go charging in again. Instead he stops next to the spear shadow. "We can't give up! We must rescue our comrade! Our pose is incomplete without her!"
"...Hm." He picks up a nearby vial marked 'Explosive Potion.'
The chest continues to shake. Weaker now. It seems content to sit and digest and pretend to be a normal chest.

Malefio considers continuing watching so his EXPLOSION! Token recharges, but he stops the shadows.
"Wait... That explosion might defeat that chest, but it might also kill your friend in the process. Maybe you'll want to have the chest ingest something poisonous or disgusting intead of trying to kill it..."

"...It's a risk I'm willing to take." The shadow moves around and prepares to throw again.
