Shio's awareness of her surroundings had granted her the incredible ability to multitask. Despite the breaking news from Toran News One, Shio reacted swiftly to Kasumi's arrival, chaining a Word of Conviction: Blind with the tossing of her pcoket knife, blade loosed, at Kasumi's location. Thankfully, Shio was confident in Kasumi's ability to react to it once she realized who it was. Shio bowed immediately in apology.

"Greatest apologies Lady Kasumi," she added, just as the two police officers from the television program burst in.

Cat's black hair was a mess and she was alarmed by something. Violet's hands were stained with what looked like darkened blood.

"Everyone who is not confident in their ability to protect themselves needs to get upstairs immediately," Cat told them, Violet bracing the door shut while Cat preformed her duties.

Suddenly, the window shattered by what looked like a Crowire, but decayed and encased in a shadowy energy. It looked poised to strike at Caelyn, but a second later a shot echoed through the room, the once proud bird Natrelmon collapsing to the ground. Outside there was an eerie scratching noise of claws on stone. Unlike the quick movements of the normal night life, these were slow, dragging, and ominous.

"I don't know what this is, but Natrelmon already dead are being summoned from the graves. They seem to be converging on the morgue, so it should be relatively safe here. Just give the horde a moment to pass by," Cat explained to the likely stunned trainers. Violet's ears were pressed against the door she was holding up, listening for any potential threats. Despite her imposing frame, and clear skill, she was a bit bothered by this. It was a mixture of fear and sadness which could occasionally be seen in flashes in her face.

"Cat, we are the only two officers that can be accounted for. We can't get to the morgue on our own and we need to know what is going on there," Violet spoke, still holding the door shut in case of another attack, Cat shutting the heavy drapes on the broken window, blocking out the light from the Inn to the outside. She hoped it would prevent another one of the creatures from flinging themselves into the area. Cat had seen ones in far worse shape than the Crowire that had come in moments ago. She had seem a number of them covered in fresh blood from victims that hadn't managed to avoid the horde's path only to then moments later join the horde itself - it wasn't just Natrelmon either. It was the people of Toran too who were in danger of becoming a part of the mass of undead.

"You're right," Cat acknowledge begrudgingly, "If you aren't comfortable with this, go upstairs. Rest of you trainers can come with us. We need to get to the morgue and quick."

Shio nodded at Cat, "I am Shio of the Enyo. I will assist." It would be up to the rest of the trainers on what to do.

Violet nodded as well, tapping a few buttons on her strange gloves, "I've sent out a broadcast signal asking for all trainers in the area who can to assist us at the morgue."

"Let us head out then," Cat commanded, Violet opening the door into the dark, misty streets of Toran, a few straggles of the horde still outside the door. Violet launched herself at the nearest, her glove crackling with energy as she struck it, launching it back into the wall of the dark building on the other side of the street, completely obscured by the mist only feet into it's flight. The crack of bone against the wall was all they could hear. Cat's rifle sounded again as she took another one of them down.

"Try to stay in a group."

With those simple orders, they would head to the morgue.
