“…”
He checks the car to see if there’s a flashbang.
There’s one present.
“Unlucky, turn off the lights and come upstairs.”
Sure!
As the shadows creep in, he throws a flashbang down the stairs, illuminating the basement in one flash.
Oh man! I wonder- MY EYES!
( you’re already upstairs you’re unaffected)
the shadows retreat from the light. And begin to return when the light fades. They don’t come out of the basement though.
He uses a thermal camera on his phone to see if it leaves any heat signatures.
no. the shadow hands have no heat signatures
He approaches the basement stairs, a blade in his hand.
He tries to find the border between where they can come to and where they can’t.
Hey wait, what happened to the officer?
they can get up to the basement ceiling. no higher.
“Uh… they uh left. This isn’t their field of work, they aren’t a detective.”
…
So they left a dead body in there without reporting it?
He approaches the height of the basement ceiling, but is narrowly out of reach.
he stabs the blade into the shadow hands to see if they even bleed.
“Yes.”
Sounds like a officer I could get along with!
nope. they form around the sword but they don’t pull on it. Its like cutting air.
“…”
“Fascinating.”
“It seems like it can only attach to living beings.”
“JARVIS (@Unlucky), PURCHASE A CHICKEN. A LIVE ONE.”
On it sir!
I take a live chicken out of the fridge.
