Scale

* Human
* Animal
* Hybrid

**Scale** is the twelfth guy to appear in the game. He is unlocked by reaching level 50 in the Piano (Discipline) hobby. Story wise, he is turned into a dragon and you encounter him when he tries to assassinate you during your piano recital.

## **Personality**

Scale pretty much is a tsundere like Volks, just less broody and more teenager angsty. According to his description in auditions, he has a lot of “drama llama” moments. Meaning that there’s a pretty good chance that he can get emotional real fast if something doesn’t go his way.

## **Dialogue List**

### **First Meeting**

1. Fairly certain that you have finally found all the Man-imals, your life begins to return to normal. Only now your stats are WAY higher, and you're doing cooler stuff. The night of your big piano recital arrives, and you take the stage to play...
2. ...only to hear a loud creak interrupt your performance. The audience gasps! It's a dragon, and it has murder in its eyes! You raise your hands in defense and shriek!
3. The dragon says a cuss word. **"SH!\*\* - this is all wrong! I'm an assassin - I'm supposed to be silent and stealthy! You need to fix this NOW!"** Looks like there's one last boy to save. Only this one is sure to be your biggest challenge yet!

### **Adversary**

* The next person who yells "Dracarys" at me is going to experience some REAL fire and blood.

#### Talk

* You don't understand! I'm supposed to be an ASSASSIN! That means elegant kills of stealth and mystery. You turned me in Volcano-saurus Rex. Do I look elegant to you???
* I've trained my entire life to slip into shadows. To slip a blade between ribs without even waking my target. Now I can't sneeze without alerting the fire department. They are VERY cross with me.
* Yesterday, I tried perching on a gargoyle all dramatically in the rain. But I crushed it with my weight, and had to pose in its place until a security guard left. My embarrassment is infinite.
* And before you get all upset over the fact that I was sent to kill you, spare me. You should be flattered. I'M the one who suddenly has a cloaca. Stop changing the subject.
* UGH! All I want to do is stack all my possessions in a pile and sleep on them. But all of my possessions are pointy and deadly. This is a real health hazard you've imposed on me!

#### Date

* [Dinner] I found dinner somewhat... Lacking. In that I needed at least another 60 or 70 lbs of it. I hate places with inadequate portion sizes.
* [BoatRide] Okay, I admit. The ducks were cute. And torching those tourists that kept calling me 'Nessie' was hilarious. A decent outing, if I must say so.
* [Coaster] Yeah. Note for next time. Opening my wings mid-rollercoaster causes unintended de-railings. Another day, another lesson.
* [Carnival] Did you see the faces of the other participants when they thought I was part of the ride, and then I roared, and then they fled in sheer terror? Good times!

#### Poke

* Okay, fair warning. Tickle me like that again, and you're liable for the flames that shoot out. Nobody wins here.

#### Upgrade to Acquaintance

1. Well, so far this has been exactly as awful as I predicted. Which I suppose is acceptable, because it's going according to plan.
2. Honestly, I would be more of an optimist in life if things didn't always consistently turn out to be so nightmarishly terrible.

### **Acquaintance**

* I have increasing urges to burn and devour things, true. But there's also a distinct urge to sing that's rising in me. I fear I may be the very worst kind of dragon. You must hurry.

#### Talk

* All right, I'm calm now. Things were said. Other things were burned in retaliation. We've both done things we're not proud of. Can we just get on with whatever quest we need to do to fix this?
* I... I may have exaggerated a few details. I'm not a master ninja assassin. I'm more of an... apprentice? Ninja intern? Something like that. I didn't mean to inflate my résumé.
* I was really hoping that breaking this curse would be more of a... fetch quest. You know? Collect me nine beaver pelts or something? But you're saying it involves character development? \*sigh\* Someone just slay me already...
* We should hurry. I'm not certain, but I think one of the requirements for Assassin Graduation is to kill a dragon. In other words... We need to break the curse before I develop empathy for dragons.
* OUCH! I just went to rub my eye and I did 4d6 damage to myself. These claws are OP!

#### Upgrade to Frenemy

1. I think I'm actually becoming MORE dragon. This morning I wanted to frolic in a land called Honahlee. I don't even know what that is!
2. I'm just hoping if I wind up being stuck like this that I'm more of a wingaling "burninate the countryside" dragon, than a "magic" dragon.
3. [With 'Friend' picture] While walking through the park, now named after you from repeated donations, you hear Scale laugh. **"I usually try to assassinate people in places like this. Picturesque. Sadly beautiful. I just sort of realized that I'm here for kind of the opposite reason."** He smiles. It's enough to know you're friends.

### **Frenemy**

* That's the third Australian conservationist that's jumped on my back and called me a 'real beauty'. I don't even want to know why. Just fix it!

#### Gift

* Mmm. This is a satisfactory gift. I shall add it to my hoard, and lay on it, discouraging its theft. It's literally the least I can do.

#### Upgrade to Friendzoned

1. Are you even trying to break the curse? You're just staring at me and saying nice things to me. You call this dating???
2. I'm going to get some paper, quills, knives, ropes and face masks. I'll show you how an assassin dates!

### **Friendzoned**

* It's not really my cup of tea, but I've been getting invited to a lot of heavy metal concerts lately. Apparently I'm "metal". I like being metal.

#### Talk

* This is dreadful. Children at the park are begging me for rides. A unicorn flirted with me on the subway. Why do so many people love dragons? We're just alligators with wings! We suck!
* Oooh! I was practicing the ninja tea ceremony, and the tea was getting cold. A little fire breath took care of that. Honestly, I may have misjudged this whole situation...
* Bleh. I'm so frustrated. I'm trying to practice sneaking. You know... in case we don't break the curse. But I weigh approximately all of the weight. Even this stone floor creaks. I can't imagine how loud dragon yoga must be.
* I keep hoping you'll become frustrated with me. That tempers will flare, and I'll barbeque you in a fit of anger and passion. But no. You've just got to be nice, huh?
* Is it me, or is this whole thing sort of 'dragon' on? Do you get it? It's dragon word play. If you don't laugh I'll poison your tea.
* There's this guy following me around. Tells me he collected a bunch of balls, and wants me to grant his wishes. I would seriously just slay this bozo, but my intuition says his power is over 9000...

#### Upgrade to Awkward Besties

1. So... If we want to break the curse, the next thing we have to do is... kiss? Okay. But if this doesn't work, I'm going to have some rather heated accusations to level your way.
2. Okay. Fulfill those weirdo fantasies of yours and come kiss the dragon.
3. [With 'Kiss' picture] You kiss his scaly lips, and you feel them change instantly into human lips. His arm softly grasps your waist, and you feel the kiss become much more sensual. When he stops, he looks a bit embarrassed. "That was... Successful. Well done. Let's keep going..."

### **Awkward Besties**

* Things are much better now. I can source and afford pants once more. Dragons are an oddly marginalized population, it turns out.

#### Talk

* At least I don't have to bathe at the car wash now. Except by choice, of course. I mean... If I still found those brushes oddly satisfying, I might still give them a whirl.
* Get behind me!!! Oh, it was just a caterpillar. Nevermind. Nothing to see here.
* Guess I haven't really explained what's going on. I was actually originally sent to kill a vampire. But thanks to your stupid curse, he got away and my target was switched to you. I wonder where he got to...
* I hate these wings. They give me the power of unassisted flight. Why is that bad? Because I didn't earn them! You ever turn on cheat codes for your favorite assassin video game? Same thing. Totally ruins the experience.
* The number of men and women throwing themselves at me, just because I'm dragon-ish, is appalling. Have some class, you dolts. Don't spread your legs for every dashingly handsome dragonkin you see.
* Well, I'm not quite back to my "stealthy" prime, but at least I don't sound like a steam engine whenever I breathe. Don't get lazy though! You're still on the hook here!
* Well, this is an improvement I suppose. At least now I can betray my master and murder him in a fit of misguided hubris, playing up my monstrous nature. I guess that would be okay.
* You are a wrecking ball. A force of nature. A true beacon of calamity. None of these are meant to be compliments. I just... have difficulty insulting people un-epicly.

#### Gift

* What a kind gesture. Just the sort of thing to distract me from the DANGER-BEHIND-ME! Oh, there's no one there. Nevermind.

#### Date

* [Dinner] Dumb waiter, telling me I can't cut bread with my cool daggers. I'll show HIM what I can cut with them. Stupid little mustache-having dishwasher...
* [BoatRide] I can look epic perching anywhere I please. A pink plastic flamingo boat is barely a challenge. I'm way too good at this.
* [Coaster] Ooooookay. That was... Not the best. But luckily I only wasted about $3 worth of hotdogs back there. I need to go again. An assassin must learn to endure all hardships. But first... I'mma sit down for a sec.
* [Carnival] No! I wasn't scared! YOU were scared! Especially when I slew the beasts with my Daggers of Spazzinoth! Bite me!

#### Poke

* The laugh of an assassin is an uncanny sound. It bristles the hairs on your neck, and sinks the hearts of even the--HAHAHAHA!! No! Stop that!

#### Upgrade to Crush

1. Well, I can't complain about our current rate of progress. Some assassins spend centuries breaking curses. So far we're making good time.
2. Oh yes, it's a surprisingly curse-ridden profession. Insurance doesn't even cover them. We're thinking about unionizing. It's a whole thing.

### **Crush**

* Oh good, you're here. I'm in the middle of getting an extension on your assassination, and I need you to help me fill out some paperwork. Press hard, we're making 10 copies.

#### Gift

* Umm... Thank you. As an assassin, I try to live a minimalist life, but... I'll keep this.

#### Upgrade to Sweetheart

1. You know, I sort of forgot that we were trying to break a curse. I guess I just got wrapped up in... Everything.
2. ...Unless this is a form of hypnosis! To make me lower my guard?! Hey - don't look at me like I'm paranoid.

### **Sweetheart**

* Someone asked me to give them half my heart. I cut theirs out and showed them it was perfectly whole. Anyway. "Mondays", am I right?

#### Upgrade to Boyfriend

1. I keep getting my tail caught in the door. It's not that bad to be honest, but if I'm detected while I'm working I have to kill all witnesses.
2. My "stealth" missions are becoming more "wealth" missions. Where the currency is blood.

### **Boyfriend**

* I still haven't found my original target. I'm not sure how one loses track of a figure skating vampire, but here we are. The other assassins are going to call me names for sure.

#### Talk

* Damn. I broke the Order of Assassin's most ancient rule - don't fall in love with your target... BUT! I don't mean you! I mean... Uhh... This tuna melt. I love you tuna melt. \*smooch\*
* Hmmm. Now that I look at you, you might actually make for an excellent travel companion. The sexually alluring comic relief, or something. The Order of Assassins loves that kind of crap.
* What? Stop looking at me. I'm not smiling at you. I'm smiling at... violence. Yeah, violence. It's rad.
* The irony of me being turned into a dragon is that no matter what I do, I \*always\* slay it. So I would have been the best candidate for eliminating myself.
* Do you want to, I dunno... Play with knives or something? I could show you my collection. It's metal as hell.

#### Gift

* Cool. I mean, it's not an ancient sword or a scroll sealed in wax by the emperor. But this is still 9/10 cool. Thanks.

#### Poke

* Those hands of yours are going to get you into trouble. Correction - they already have...

#### Upgrade to Lover

1. So this is it huh? This is supposedly where the curse breaks and things change back?
2. I just... There's a few things I don't really want to change back. Specifically... About you... Bah! Nevermind. We'll talk more later.
3. [With 'Transformation' picture] One night, as you're returning home, you're suddenly taken off guard by Scale leaping from the shadows. "Ha! Ninja kiss attack!" He moves in a blur, but his lips still only softly graze yours. Suddenly there's a magical explosion, deflecting the ninja. The curse is broken!
4. [With 'Lover' picture] **"To be in possession of any object or artwork that depicts a ninja assassin's true appearance is to be in danger. Woe be to those who do not take such a thing seriously. But I thought I looked mega hot in this one, so I wanted you to have it. Looking forward to future stalkings. All my love..."** *-Scale*

2. Scale stands before you, as though challenging you. You can see he is hard with lustful excitement, but his eyes are focused. He leans in to kiss you, and pulls you against him. In a blur of sensations and emotions, the two of you make passionate love. He's inexperienced, but his body is incredibly strong - and he remains hard inside you long after he's cummed.
3. After, you lay together. His eyes locked on the ceiling, his expression troubled. You ask him if he's okay, and he shrugs. "That was the most incredible experience of my life. It's weird to think that something I've never really pursued could affect me so deeply." He props himself on his elbow and says in a low voice. "Promise me we'll do it again." And you do.

### **Lover**

* Before I wanted to bite you in the bad way. Now I sort of want to do it in the good way. This is a startling self realization.

#### Date

* [Masquerade] So.. this is the part where the real magic happens, I guess. Are you ready to kill it on the dance floor?
* [All the rest are same as Boyfriend]

#### Upgrade to Max Lover

1. You know... Nothing makes you appreciate what you have like being turned into a massive lizard version of yourself. Really makes you think.
2. Ha! Look at me! Philosophizing like a ninja master. I mean I'm a lot more wise now, but not THAT wise.

### **Max Lover**

* Admit it. You like human-me a lot more than dragon-me. This whole thing's working out better than you imagined.
* Hey. Want some tea? I promise there's a distinct lack of deadly poison in it. I'm a professional. You can trust me.
* I was practicing my smile, and got a wicked face cramp. Flirting is hard.
* Oh, I didn't see you there. And I definitely wasn't tracking your movements for the last hour. Hahaha! That would be insane! You're such a kidder.
* Well, there you are. I was going to hunt you down, but I had a resolution this year that I would "hunt" people a lot less often. Go Scale!
* **(Naked)** Have you ever had a shower, and then remained naked long enough to need another shower? That's a weird feeling.
* **(Naked)** I'm going to go sit under a waterfall soon. I'm mulling over wearing shorts though, to be honest. I like training my body, but that water sometimes has ice in it.
* **(Naked)** It's Scale! He's still naked! He's also talking in third person because he's awkward at flirting. Please give him a hug.

#### Talk

* Can love bloom on the battlefield? Surely it must...
* Do you want to... Go do normal stuff? I kind of miss normal stuff. The ancient assassin clan is fine, but they suck at bowling. I wanna bowl...
* Hold on. I'm going to boop your nose. I read that this is a flirtatious gesture that conveys affection. But if I'm not careful, I'll hit a pressure point and kill you. Here goes nothing...
* I... I have to admit something. And I don't know how. But... I accidentally fell in love with you. And I'm having trouble shaking it off.
* I know this is a bit crass, but... If you ever figure out how to temporarily transform me back into a dragon, I was... Let's say more "endowed" in that form. Just saying.
* I got an offer to kill a bunch of dolphins. I'm relatively sure it was from a wealthy shark. I'm not getting involved. Not even dragons mess with dolphins.
* I was thinking of doing a bit of charity work. Kill a few people pro bono. Do some good in the world. Know anyone looking for a good-cause killer?
* Just because I'm not a gigantic flying fire lizard doesn't mean you can't ride me. Hahaha! Let's find out how to REALLY tame your dragon.
* So, an unintended side effect of no longer being cursed is... I'm sort of, like, a LOT less interesting now. At least I think so. I kind of hope you don't notice.
* So... If you wanted to climb on my back, and let me carry you up a mountain until we discovered a secret waterfall and made out under the starlight... I'd be into it.
* The next person who calls me Narutoes or whatever is getting a knife to the place that knives shouldn't be. Here's a hint - it's everywhere.
* Want to run down to the beach with our arms behind our backs in traditional ninja assassin fashion? It's much faster that way.
* You certainly make things interesting. Before you everything was, "kill" this and "sneak in there" that. Now I kind of like not killing things too. You've opened my eyes.
* **(Naked)** Ah ha! Now you're in for it! A naked ninja is over 1000% more stealthy in the nude! I bet you can't even see me right now!
* **(Naked)** Come on. Let's go do naked stuff. I'm fairly certain "dragon libido" is a thing, and I want to show you.
* **(Naked)** I'm sure you'll agree - if all of this was the last thing you saw before you were assassinated, you'd die at least a little satisfied. Right?
* **(Naked)** I'm trying to decide if I want to run the obstacle course naked. Normally I can do it, no sweat, but my balance is a bit thrown off... You know? Things are swinging around that don't normally swing...
* **(Naked)** In case it comes up... It was cold on my last mission. That's all I'm saying. Winter assassination stuff. Very chilly.
* **(Naked)** Look - I had to do a lot of mid-air split kicks to get these legs. The least you could do is... I dunno. Look at 'em.
* **(Naked)** My clothes pulled a ninja on me. Which is fair I guess.
* **(Naked)** Oh my. 'Rope burn' takes on an entirely more sinister tone when you're climbing naked.
* **(Naked)** Oh wow. I was running through the bamboo forest, and that experience is a lot different when you're naked. Bamboo leaves are surprisingly... rigid.

#### Gift

* Mmm! Okay thank you. I love it. It's the perfect gift. Now would you shut up before the other assassins hear me being all mushy???
* Hee hee! I know how to kill a person NINE ways with something like this. Hold still - I'll show you a couple. No no no! They're really funny!
* Hmm. Nice. I don't really do the whole "gift exchange" thing, but I can understand the appeal. Feel free to continue this fine tradition.
* Thanks. You give me butterflies when you're nice to me. I was initially worried it was sickness. But a book told me it was romance. (I'm not sure I understand the difference.)
* **[Boxers]** This is my underwear. It holds the mythical dragonballs, which grant wishes. Handle them with care. HAHAHA!
* **[Birthday Suit]** Whoa! How did you take those off so fast? Are YOU a ninja assassin?
* **[Spooky Outfit]** Bon soir, je t'aime. A black cat has crossed your path, and now misfortune is sure to follow. That is, unless, you agree to be my lucky love bug...
* **[Kigurumi Outfit]** Umm... This seems too big for me. Is it supposed to be this baggy? Like, we could probably both fit in here. Oh, wait... Yeah, we could probably both fit in here! Let's try!
* **[Butler Outfit]** I just had the best idea - Ninja butler! Drinks appear at your side seemingly from nowhere. You look away briefly, and suddenly your shoes are shined. All your needs are met without you noticing! The only downside is you have to keep all the lights off in your house.
* **[Masquerade Outfit]** I'd do anything for you. I would even kill for you. I mean, I also kill for money, but that's beside the point. The point is... You're my everything.
* **[Summer Outfit]** Vacation time! My schedule is clear and my hands are clean. All right, so what does "summer fun" look like these days? Lawn bowling? Lawn darts? Lawn... Mowing? You might need to help me out here, work is pretty intense and I might have forgotten how to have fun.

#### Poke

* Gah! Stop stop! I'm trying to look cool over here. You're making it impossible to be as badass as I can be.
* Hahaha! You're terrible! Making a super serious ninja assassin like me giggle like an idiot. You know just how to hurt me. And I LOVE it.
* I'm going to invent a dagger that tickles someone when you stab them. THEN we'll see who's laughing!
* **(Naked)** HAI YAH! Hahaha! Perfect counter attack! Thought I was helpless because I was naked! PLEASE! I'm actually way deadlier like this!
* **(Naked)** Stop poking my soft bits when I'm naked. It's rude! Cut it out, or I'm gonna start poking you back.
* **(Naked)** It's not fair. You're like... twelve ranks above me in flirting. But I'm at least a hundred ranks higher in 'naked'. Maybe they balance out?
* **(Naked)** No! Bad! Stop! HAHAHAHA!

#### Upgrade to Lover +

1. Still at it hey? Even though I'm pretty madly in love with you?
2. Well, far be it from me to stop a great thing...

### **Dialogue About Cole**

* Hahaha! Someone left a threatening scroll on my door with a knife. That's adorable! I hope I meet this mystery killer, so I can show him just how afraid I am.
* My Ninja senses are tingling. That means someone is plotting to assassinate me. Hmph. Talk about a lack of professional courtesy...
* Some rank amateur tried stalking me last night. Well, the joke's on him. I doubled back and started stalking him. Of course this meant I went in a circle for several hours... But it was totally worth it.
* Hmmm, I must say... Whoever's been trying to assassinate recently, they have SOME talent. They're not very deadly, but they definitely have a clear sense of style...
* The problem with serial killers is that they're all hype. Oh wow, you assassinated like ten people before you were caught? I put up numbers like that on a bad day. And I NEVER get caught. Posers.
* Oh give me a break. Someone tried poisoning my tea with hemlock. You're supposed to use Iocaine powder for tea. Inconceivable! This is Murdering 101.

## **Trivia**

* Scale's Spooky Outfit is based on Cat Noir from the 3D Animated French Cartoon *Miraculous Ladybug & Cat Noir*. Plus dialogue.
* Two of Scale’s dialogue mentions Stirling. With him being Scale’s original target before it was switched to you.
* The motif of his boxers refer to Dragon Ball Z.
* When talking about Cole he mentions puting Iocane powder into his tea, a refrence to The Princess Bride.
* in two of his Max lover lines, he makes two references to Naruto by implying the use of running down a beach with his arms behind his back
