"Oh my God its Impulse!" A woman screamed and immediately Astra's head turned back, her body soon following, to get a look at the famed hero of Aegis! She may have had a bad impression on him from their first meeting at the bank, but she couldn't resist fangirling a little over him. So many things seemed to happen at once after that! First, he revealed himself! Then a few girls chased some... Ribbon? She questioned within her mind as she got a closer look, and another woman entered the hall, her gaze distracted to her for the moment until a Japanese man spoke up in a happy manner toward Arthur! He knew him personally! She was surprised! This was truly the greatest tour Aegis would ever have! She was sure of it! She barely registered Tim say for her to ask her question when the tour started, she was so wrapped up in the events happening all around her. She was shocked to find that Arthur Glass was Impulse!
After a moment she looked back to Tim sheepishly and lowered her hand to ask her questions. "Thank you! How did you get your powers? When did you join Aegis? Are you behind the main programming for A.L.I.C.E. and the security systems here??!" She asked in a rush, clearly overexcited and bursting with energy from the events of today!

She felt the tug against her pocket and turned around just as she heard the guy speak about sticking to cards and acknowledged the woman who had a question. She turned her head away from Arthur Glass and seen the blonde come in and start speaking and she only wondered if someone threw the woman would it be throwing shade? She laughed at the thought when she heard other voices and seen other people come in. She made her way back over to Ribbon and handed her the phone and the ribbon itself. "Okay so I didn't quite think this through. Look at all of these people." She did wonder where Micah was though. "Okay so Micah and I are going to try and join this I think," she whispered to Ribbon as she heard the bubbling blonde from earlier rattle off her questions. "That was the course of action but then I have not heard from him so I guess I am joining by myself which is fine because we both know that I am totally made for the hero thing. I feel like I need to ask a question once he answers the one lady's questions but I mean what do I ask?" She looked at Ribbon for like two seconds and then spoke again. "The one darker haired gentlemen with the badge he seems like a man with a purpose but also kind of spooky. How does he have better hair than me? Maybe this tour can help me get answers to that as well. Anyway" she moved a little bit with the line. "Why are you here again?" Ribbon Harmony

At the moment there was not enough space to pay her to be here and the more people that came in the worse it got. Too many people was like too many lemons so despite everything that was going on between the questions and people coming and going she decided to focus on her phone as she was handed it back. Her words with friends game had went off the screen as she gently pressed the buttons to get them to turn her screen back on but her battery must have died which sadly meant she had to focus on Trove as she was speaking. "Do you ever think anything through?" It was a genuine question and even her voice was filled with concern. "I think too much which is just as bad and joining what?"
Oh that was a serious thing? She looked at Trove awkwardly as she spoke and held a hand up and placed it on Trove's shoulder. "Suuuure, you can be a hero." Like a really bad one but she left that part out. "You don't need to ask a question you just need to remember everything that happens today. For instance the man with the badge. The young lady asking the questions, the guy with the entrance that was a little over the top, the guy giving the tour and the woman coming in with the blonde hair and anything else." Seriously it was enhanced memory it did not get any simpler. "I mean I'm forgetful but even I can remember that. People are individuals so your memory might be able to clock them easy. I wouldn't know and I'm here because I know how wild you can be. Now just follow along, listen, ask questions if you want but more important just remember everything."
She was about ninety percent sure Micah had ditched this young lady here on purpose and was going to pick her memories later but Trove did not need to know that for now. "I can't believe my phone is dead. There goes the picture I wanted to take." She took her hand back. "Point being you specifically do not need to ask any questions. Let others ask them for you and remember the questions and the answers and just take people in then later when you are recalling it, your memories should be mostly clear and you can have everything that you need." She ran a hand through her blonde locks and noticed a few pieces falling out.
"Great I'm shedding," she said as she tucked the hair in her pocket. "You know how with Micah it's an in the moment thing? Like he has to study people and then perceive how they will act like right then? I mean what he is can do is good but what you can do is better." Trove was and would forever be a plot device. Her feelings did not matter no matter how much she wanted them too. "Your memories mean that you can distance yourself if you choose but still "have" it. How it made you feel, how it made someone else feel even after it has passed. You get the visuals that can play so you're a freaking picture over and over. At the core a memory is just a part of time frozen that makes us shuffle through emotions and causes us to have an effect on the decisions that we make in the future."

Arthur blushed from embarrassment when his superior, Shade, made her presence known by coming out of the shadows. He had given her a wink and a nod letting her know he understood and gave a 'my bad' shrug at Tim who had went back to his tour. The crowd had been good about getting his autograph while Tim started to take questions, one girl in one breath asked a stream which made thank the many gods that he didn't have to lead the tour. "Mister Glass could you make this out to my niece? She's a huge fan...Akio....Ito," someone was speaking Japanese now and shoving something into his hand but the word Ito snapped Arthur out of his autograph tunnel vision (it happened a lot, sign, smile, picture, repeat) and standing in front of him was his best friend Ichiro Ito! Art smiled and for the longest time he was silent, the two had become friends after the Misho summit attack where Ichiro had helped Arthur grieve but also gave Art the focus of bringing his brother's killer down. Ichiro was smiling and shared a small chuckle, "I supposed that was my reaction to your revealing, I would have never guessed you were..who you are!"After finding his tongue Arthur embraced his best friend it had been years since they had spoke, Ito had been in the process of moving his offices from Japan to America, and Art had been spending his time hunting for Bakuhatsu the man who was responsible for loads of heartbreak in both their lives while working on cases for Aegis. "Ichiro! Holy hell I didn't expect you to be here already, how long? Let's grab dinner later? Bring the kids, Kenji tell your Uncle to get some greasy American food," Arthur replied in Japanese trying to keep his excitement down as to not interrupt the tour again. Ichiro patted Kenji on the shoulder shaking his head now speaking English, "I say that sounds awesome Art, I'll call you after the tour? Gotta get to know the players of this city so I'm keeping my presence low key for the time being but Ito Future is up and running even as I'm between here and home. Wow who knew my best friend was....Impulse!"

"Nice to have you with us, ma'am." He nodded to Shade, while trying to keep his cool. This was the first time a Pillar had crashed one of the tours. Not the first time a tour had bumped into a Pillar for a brief Q and A, but the first time a Pillar was coming along on the tour. "Well, let's get moving, we have a lot to see!" Tim chuckled as the stream of questions began while he kept the tour moving. "That's more than one question, but I'll see what I can do to answer them all. As for my powers, I..." He swallowed. He'd practiced this response before, but it was still hard. "I haven't made that information public. It was a traumatic experience for me, and I'm not really ready to talk about it publicly. Sorry. I joined Aegis about five years ago, not long after I actually gained my powers. And while the security system was a group effort, I am the main programmer behind the AI Alice, although if I'm quite honest, she's given me a few surprises that I didn't really see coming." That was an understatement. Alice's self-awareness was still a secret to most people, though, even most people at Aegis. There were a select few that knew that she was sapient and capable of complex emotions, the Pillars being the main ones. It was an ongoing debate about what to actually do about it, if anything. "Speaking of which though, this is something I had a significant hand in making." He led the tour into an overlook that looked down on a large room, only it didn't appear to be a large room at the moment. It appeared to be a cityscape that Aegis trainees were chasing down a villain in. "This is the ALISE, the Amplified Light Integrated Situational Environment. This is a room that's filled with amplified light generators -- think like holoprojectors, but you can feel the hologram -- that let us simulate almost any situation and location that you can imagine. Alice is running a simulation for some trainees as we speak. It looks like... yeah, she pulled out an old favorite of hers. She's using the villain Duskcreeper." He looked out over the gathered tour group. "Are there any other questions right now? Shade, did you have something to add? And yknow what Art you might as well get up here too after that entrance, you're helping lead this thing now." ((Updated Posting Order! Morrigan Cavanaugh is up next! @bakuhatsu @astraica Cae MireRibbon Harmonyand finally @impulse before coming back around to me.))

"You're doing perfectly fine on your own. Don't let my presence make you nervous Tim." Although she had to admit she sort of enjoyed the feeling of being able to make people nervous sometimes.
"As for Tim's powers, there are some things we do not make public and we expect you to respect that decision. However, be sure to bombard the newly out Impulse with questions like that." Morrigan smirked, crossing her arms with a laugh. She especially enjoyed using the term 'out' because hell if she had to go through with it then so did Arthur. Hers wasn't being out as a hero though, so a bit different she supposed. When they came across the simulator and she heard the explanation she laughed.
"The ALISE training simulator can get rather sadistic sometimes. Like that time I had apples lobbed at my head. Pro-tip: if someone suggests putting Ents from LOTR in any simulator, say no. They can be angry little bastards. Duskcreeper is okay the trainees are getting off easy. But occasionally we get thrown something new and it can be interesting. We at Aegis believe in the great power of creativity with your powers, and I think there's something you can all learn from that."
"There was also the time someone decided to copy one of the Pillar's powers and put it in the simulator. In the end, it was fairly simple to disarm. It served to show us that creativity is very very important, and is the difference between a powerful hero and a less powerful hero."

Ichiro excused Arthur who had joined his fellow Aegis at the head of the tour, rage still riddled his body about the revelation of Impulse turning out to be his best friend.
"Oh....we willlll.....have a catch up day pretty boy! A catch up and whip your ASS! AM I RIGHT ICKY?!" Bakuhatsu was uncontrollable in his mind where he needed to stay at the moment as far as his thoughts or outward appearance Ichiro showed great restrain as he rejoined the tour group. Kenji was close by observing his Uncle, he had nothing but great respect for his Uncle if it weren't for Ichiro Ito his siblings would have nothing....he gave them purpose....and knowing his Uncle was hurt by betrayal from Arthur Glass it hurt him. His eyes never left Arthur's face again the whole rest of the tour....he was going to kill that man....
Ichiro however was pulling a comic from inside his bag and he stepped up beside the little blonde who has asked a slew of questions whispering as low as he could to her, "Yes, I COULD answer your question about the young man's powers," he handed the young woman the comic and chuckled, "However from this origin comic the young Surge can control some types of energy," Ichiro half listened to the ALISE simulation and half tuned into their conversation, "However I speculate he has a wide variety of talents he can use his powers for, but of course it is always hush hush with the government....anywhere you go....privacy in a world full of computers? Distractions like this ALISE system, impressive oh yes, but they totally avoided your question with a fancy gadget what about full disclosure? Oh sorry," Ichiro was ranting probably confusing the woman so he smiled handing her the comic, "Don't mind me and take this, I have extra. I'm going to get it signed by SURGE himself," he said with great cheer while feeling completely opposite, "Excuse me however I'll be going..."
Ichiro pushed forward through the crowd holding up a hand, "Yes hello Surge, Ichiro Ito of Ito Future, what is your robotics program like? Has Aegis ever thought about policing supers with the help of a robot police force?"

Astra waited excitedly for Tim's response, if she had've been less attentive to hear his answers she would have giggled at the "more than one question" comment. Then, her face fell. Oh. He got his powers in a less than happy way. Her heart immediately fell to her feet, she hadn't meant to bring up bad memories, make him uncomfortable, or hurt him. Her eyes lost their sparkle as she nodded and listened to his other answers, though they gained some more light when he mentioned Alice and her giving him surprises. That sounded neat! Like she really had her own personality! She was a bit of a fantasy geek and loved the idea of AI being real. Her attention perked when they came to the training room and she looked on with interest, taking note of everything. If she was to join Aegis, she would have to go through training in there... She smiled at the mention of Duskcreeper, the trainees would have fun with that one! Her attention turned to Shade as she spoke to her. She nodded, a bit glum. She really shouldn't have asked that question. She had no idea. She smiled and giggled shortly about the comment about Impulse. She might have to ask him something, but she was feeling far too self-conscious now to do so. The added information about the simulator intrigued her and even made her laugh. Apples thrown at you? Alice certainly had some sense of humour! Her eyes lit up again at the Ents idea though! They had ADDED them in there? Ooooh that would be fun! She nodded at everything else. It made sense, and she appreciated that they supported creativity, sometimes in battle that was the only thing that made for a victory on your side. It definitely rose her expectations and opinion of Aegis, if that were possible. Just before they were about to leave a man's voice whispered to her, it surprised her a bit, but before she could turn to see who it was, a comic appeared at her side. A look of delighted surprise passed her lips as her eyes went wide at seeing the comic and hearing the man's words! She recognized the voice to be from the man who was talking with Impulse! A friend of Impulse just gave me the first edition of Surge's ORIGIN STORY! She thought as she squeed quietly, mostly inwardly, and turned a bit to look up at the tall Japanese man. She nodded, listening to his words, he had a point, but she still felt bad about it. He had a few points actually... She wondered just how much he knew about Tim. When she could, she spoke. "Thank you SO much sir!" She said as she clutched the book to her chest with care. "It's an honour to meet one of Arthur's friends." She turned and bowed politely to him, unsure how far to go, and with the crowd she couldn't bow very much. She knew a little about Japanese culture, not much, enough to know it's a polite action. She didn't get much of her gesture in before he started walking away, but she was happy to have the comic, it was such a great honour to have met him! She secretly thought it would be best if she herself didn't get her comic signed however, after that question. She felt Tim would feel a bit off about having to sign it. It was then that Ichiro spoke to Surge and she gaped! That man was the HEAD of Ito Future! She'd only heard of the company from various online sources, but never looked into it. She was doubly surprised! She looked to her comic with new respect and awe. This tour was something she'd NEVER experience again! Looking up again, she waited for Tim's response and followed the tour as it continued on.

She had this as she calmly let out a breath and thought about what Ribbon said. Just focus basically and let the moments turn into what would eventually be memories though she slightly elbowed Ribbon. "I can be a hero." Geez blondes. Anyway she turned and listened to the words and her eyes darted from person to person as they spoke. Skinny guy with cards. Smith. Blonde beside him. Comforter and Supporter. She would be easy to remember because Shade. She wanted to throw her but not in a bad way. She just wondered if she could throw her but better not. The man with the hair. "Aww" she said quietly to Ribbon Harmony. "The male with the hair is giving out comics. "Ooh Ribbon look at that simulation." She said as she looked up at her friend. Her hair was coming out pretty fast but she still listened as she looked at her and moved as she heard something about Ito Future. She took a minute to bend down as the lace of her shoe string had came loose. Tying your shoes was one of the first things that you learned and one of her first memories that even stuck with her now. "I feel like there is too much technology here but that could just be me being paranoid. Also I'm a bit freaked out about why I tie my shoes the way that I do but I am glad that I came here." She did not want to be used for her memories or for the things that she remembered so hopefully she would not have to deal with that. Once she was done tying her shoe she spoke again. "Is any of this interesting to you? I mean since you came here because you spotted me I do not want you bored to death." Ribbon Harmony

She moved along with the line as she listened to Trove. Once they got to the amplified light integrated situational environment talk she looked it over. An area where you could simulate a battlefield? That seemed handy and almost smart though she had no idea why she was so interested in it. She heard Trove say something about a comic and she hushed her. "Holograms that you can feel?"
She looked at Trove and slightly began to rub her temples. "I think I just became obsessed.," she said quietly. "You and Micah and then I need you to figure out how that particular room can help us." She was going to be bald by the time that this was over as she felt more hair shedding and she shoved it in her pocket once more. "Listen to me. I am going to see if I can get a meeting with that guy that runs Ito Future. He was handing out comics right? I'm sure I can fake liking those long enough."
She leaned a little bit and felt her back ache for a slight second. "Trove, I'm going to train you and then you're going to come back here and be like you were so inspired by this tour that you just want to know if you can join. Then you jump through whatever tests you got to do or however they have it set up and then you and Micah are going to get me in that room." She looked down at Trove's shoes. "You can't mess it up though. If I train you and you screw this up, I'll.." she started to say drown her but that would require her knowing how to swim. "I'll..look I'm not making empty threats but seriously you have to get in now for real."
She heard robot police force from the one guy and looked at Trove. "Pay attention to how the one that you keeps saying has nice hair reacts when the man that is giving the tour answers his question about the robot police force. Actually put your focus on the blonde he handed the comic too. You see how she seems almost star struck. If that was you then when you sat down and remembered it you could create that feeling again for a second. Yes it would be false but memories make us happy, sad, anxious so on and so forth. You just need to learn how to appreciate what you can do instead of thinking you suck. Be in awe of everything around you, make even the things that are apart of your every day life have some sort of memory too you."
Her eyes were on that integrated situational environment room thing though. "It has to be able to create a snow simulation right?" She was talking to herself and under her breath at this point. She looked at Trove and faked a smile. "I don't bore easily," she said as she ran her hands through her blonde hair doing that slow motion model move as she lifted the back of her hair up and felt more of the strands coming out. "I'm thinking about going brunette. I think the snow would look better against a darker tone of hair." Fake snow possibility? She was all on that.
