That Westin Phipps seems like a nice guy.
BackAlleyBrawler: I can't facepalm this post hard enough.
ShoNuff: If sophisticated = bro-mantically emo-tastic, then I'm going to keep to my Shonen loving simplicity dammit.
Well he does run Haven House.It's one of the few places the downtrodden of Grandville can call home. I once saw Phipps yelling at one of those Destined ones. I seriously thought Phipps was going to fight them. In fact I think he was starting to make a fist then the Destined One just walked away. Phipps is a true hero.

I'd save the world for an awesome pineapple upside down cake.

I wonder what they're doing down in the Rogue Isles.
I think I can hear the parties from here.
Bob's on to something.
He also just made me depressed.
The streets of Paragon City are practically deserted of heroes who now never seem to leave the AE Corps buildings. Crime is on the rise once again. Villains are everywhere and there aren't any heroes to be found.
Community Action News went out to the streets to interview citizens and get their opinions and ideas on how to handle this dilemma.
Nerd, pale from too much time spent in mother's basement: "I know how to fix it! I can hack into the AE main frame... any time a Male hero enters a program they'll find a completely empty map! They'll get so bored they'll have to come back outside to find villains.. The female heroes? Oh.. they'll go to a special map too.. the Warehouse Dance Party map.. with all the music and lighting effects... only I've hacked it to install 20 stages and about 100 brass poles.."

Older gentleman with too-big smile: "Don't you think they deserve a little vacation? Our heroes risk their lives every day to protect our way of life. I say if they want to take a break now and then in AE Corps then they should be allowed to do so!! Me? I'm Westin Phipps of Haven House."

Man in tin foil hat: "It's all a Nemesis plot man.. it's the government.. they're run by Nemesis... They created AE as a way of mind enslaving the heroes! Soon we'll all be AE slaves man! I gotta go... I'm gonna hide in my fall out shelter for a few days."
Blue Steel: "I suppose I could step away from my training duties every third Tuesday to wipe out all the criminal activity in the city.. should only take an hour or so.."
Wise-A** who looks a lot like Steelclaw: "Set up a deal between the Zig and AE Corps that has the prisoners acting as virtual stand-ins on a work-release program."
Bob: "Okay, seriously... We citizens can get shot, blown up, set on fire, dropped off buildings, held, mezzed and just about anything else and take no damage at all.. In fact, in most situations we aren't even targetable in the first place.. so... WHY do we even NEED heroes?!"
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
