Gonna need to head off those who did manage to get out, too.

[By some stroke of luck, Ira had managed to evade being cut down just yet. He did have the speed of the dragoon to work in his favor, but having run here after finding 'Lin and weaving through the undead-like versions of other heroes had left him almost missing the days he were nothing but wire and film.]

If we have any with earth spells, we can always block the doors with raised ground - or freeze the doors and windows shut, but that'll only hold them so long.

[Barricades never last, after all.]

This was, unfortunately, a situation Billy was experienced with, both the hunting down of zombie-like creatures and the slaughter within his workplace. Billy was not happy about these reminders of the massacre at the Etone HQ.

"I don't have much by way of magic that'll help...but they won't get too far without kneecaps, I'm guessing," he said, reaching for one of his guns. He did not have any connection to any of the formerly crystalized Heroes, so he was facing the situation with cold, ruthless efficiency.

He threw a quick Cure Spark's way, for once not making a sarcastic response when he did it. There would be time for sass once the danger was eliminated and the unfortunate souls of the murdered hospital staff were prayed over.

[Sparks is grateful for the Cure, but it is from Billy, so for now he just gets a quick, appreciative nod. Sometimes he misses being a Paladin.]

Reckon those kneecaps are a lot tougher than ya think. They're all workin' at max levels out there, and then some. They ain't dumb, neither, so if we block 'em in, they may find other ways to get out. Windows 'n such. But if they all get outta here, it's game over for the people out there. The citizens of this city seen enough death 'n destruction lately.

Agreed. We don't need to hand over more ammunition for Cid and others to belittle us.

[Someone's a little salty over that even now. There's a grim look on her face as a thought comes to her.]

And honestly even if those of us with the Ghostbuster jobs decide to cross streams, it's too risky and would cause more damage than what its worth. So let's just keep that in mind as a final resort. How are we on potions, bullets and what not? We have to be careful and so I suggest everyone who want to engage them to stick in pairs or groups. But don't push yourselves too hard. They got numbers on their side.

[silencesfate]

I have spells, I can try some of those things. [ He's more confident about being able to delay things and cause a distraction if necessary than doing any direct confrontations on his own; he was fortunate that as far as he knew, he didn't have anybody he had a solid connection to in stasis. ]

... Some Heroes got inside and haven't come out too, what are we going to do about them? Leave certain places unblocked? We can't lock them inside...

And where should we tell the people to go? [ "Away from here" in general might not be enough direction for all of them, though it's the essence of the idea. ]

[unetoned]

Need some more Aero spells, huh?

No, we can't lock it down completely. [He's glad Minato is on the same page as he was. Besides the Heroes who ventured in, there could be survivors from the hospital staff and visitors, the people Billy worked with every day. He can't abandon them if there's a chance they're still alive.]

I know where all the exits are. We can block the back and side entrances. Everyone left will have to come out of the main entrance, and whoever stays here can help the survivors and contain the enemy. [He's got the tone of voice that suggests he'll do it with help, or without.]

Some of you can hunt down the escapees or evacuate the people to the 11th District. [It seemed the safest place to direct them, away from the marshmallow moogle and from the zombie Heroes. That's his two cents on the matter, though with the Heroes' track record for going off half-cocked, he's prepared to do as much as he can on his own.]

[red_planet_blues]

As long as people evacuatin' here get inside somewhere safe, and outta the pathway of the moogle, that's fine. Eleventh district, sure. The edges of the city, maybe. Hell, they can hide in our houses if they gotta.

[Sparks takes stock of what he has left as far as supplies as he talks, counting up his few remaining potions and then refilling his revolver.]

Bottlenecking 'em is a good idea. That way we can focus on one exit and help out anyone who's still lucky enough to be alive in this mess. Save some of yer potions 'n spells for them, too. I can get word out to other Heroes who're Ghostbusters out there, too, let 'em know what's goin' on and where to take people if they can. [He pats the walkie-talkie clipped to his Ghostbusters uniform.]

[needsteaplz]

Show me where those exits are, Billy. With my speed, I should be able to outrun them and make it to any survivors and other heroes in time. And if necessary, I can lure the mobs out of the hospital.

[Thankfully, as a Ninja, she didn't need bullets, which meant more inventory for potions and other status items. And like Sparks, she had a walkie-talkie as well.]

Let's just hope the others are doing alright. Do we know how many Heroes are in this area besides us?

[She could've sworn she saw Ven come this way, so that was another goal she had in mind.]

[unetoned]

You think you guys can hold them off here? [Billy turns to Saori.]

This way. [He takes off for the side of the building. He doesn't like the idea of sending Saori into danger, but he trusts that he can provide her backup and healing as needed. He stops near the first of the emergency side doors.]
