A Cell Phone Call Overheard....

G’morning. Can I talk to Saul Rubinstein, please?

 

It’s Trina.

 

…Ascendette.

No, that’s as in E-T-T-E. The female one.

 

Yes, thanks. I’ll hold.

 

Oh hey Unca’ Saul, it’s Trina. Yeah, the super powers look to be doin’ alright. I guess me getting’ caught in that big ol’ pile of Xenonite turned out for the best.

 

Well, I wanted to talk to you about the costume. No, the material’s fine. Sure, I appreciate it. Will you— will you just listen to me?!

 

Thank you. Okay, there just ain’t enough of it. Well from the front it’s kinda cute, though it looks like a swimsuit. But from the back—

 

Yes, I’m sayin’ we gotta change it. I don’t care whatcha focus group said. Your focus group was a bunch of online guys!

 

Action figures? Posters? Yeah, the merch, I get it. But we still gotta change up the supersuit.

Because you can see all the way from Cleveland to Pittsburgh in this thing, that’s why! I ain’t wearin’ a thong around in public.

from Cleveland to Pittsburgh

((Now I've never heard that expression, so I may be wrong, but it strikes me as though that probably means 'bare chest'? As in 'cle(a)v(ag)eland to (arm)Pittsburgh? Again, could be wrong, because it's a new one on me either way, and no offense/snark intended whether I'm right or wrong, just trying to correct whichever one of us has the wrong of it.))

Awesome. I am sad to hear about ascendant. He was funny I got to catch him in one of his classic rants with Saul.  So if you are taking the mantel. Does that mean we get to see your a-hole play set too....  Hahahaha. I am kidding. But At the time it was some of the funniest... think I caught 2 or 3 of his rants... pure gold. A credit to the pure imagination this game brought out in people.

This is great!  I just did a phone call rant to one of my contacts last night near Blue Steel and then another outside City Hall in Atlas when something didn't work out.  I was thinking of the same legendary RP I stumbled on so many years ago.

Something Happened to Ascendant?  Sorry to hear this he was a great guy, used to love to tank with him.  We were twins in builds and close in back story, but could never match storytelling

Sadly he passed away a few years ago.

 

His memorial NPC is in Steel Canyon on the other side of the statue from Positron. By the phone booth.

He's a combat NPC.  I make it a habit to pull a few mobs to him everytime I run through that area, just so he gets to keep on saving the city.

 

There are few other memorial NPCs that were placed around the City by the SCORE folks.
