First he looks about cautiously. Then he takes a vial and syringe from his lab coat, and pierces the vial. Finally, he injects it into him. He has time to hide the syringe and vial under a bush before he collapses to the ground and slowly fades from view, only to reappear a few minutes later and repeat his actions. The second time you watch him, you realise who he is. He's you. ~ 67 2 0 222 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 #31068 shadow man~ the shadow~ A shadow floats through the air, writhing madly. ~ A fleeting glance at him reveals his panic. He's struggling furiously, but seems to be held prone at two points by something tremendously strong. Slowly he is lifted up, then positioned over the tank. A final look of horror passes over his face before he's dumped into the tank and dissolves in a screaming mess, only to reappear on the floor. ~ 67 2 0 215 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 #0 #OBJECTS #31051 sabre tooth sabretooth~ a sabretooth~ The tooth from one of the panther beasts lies here.~ 5 0 0 8193 0 0 0 none~ none~ 0 10 20 11 2 0 A 24 2 Q (null)~ (null)~ (null)~ (null)~ (null)~ (null)~ 0 0 #31052 charm bracelet~ a charm bracelet~ Someone dropped their charm bracelet here.~ 9 0 0 4097 0 0 0 none~ none~ 0 0 0 0 0 0 A 4 3 A 19 -10 A 14 500 E charm charms~ The little charms represent a pair of boots, a dove, wings, an eye, an ankh and an owl.~ (null)~ (null)~ 0 0 0 E bracelet~ Only slightly tarnished from it's long stint below water.
