Rating Invalid
Certain characters cannot be rated by the curio, and trying to rate them results in a unique dialogue instead:
- "Rating invalid!" Its eyeball swivels around three times before suddenly widening. After a brief impasse, its eye shuts, wearily.
Dialogue
- (Investigate the Rating Pistol)
- "Item number 752: Rating Pistol. This weapon rates creatures on sight, using unknown scoring logic."
- The closed eye of this weird little gun suddenly snaps open as it swirls around for a moment, staring at you with malice.
- (Investigating as Silver Wolf)
-
- "110 points!" Reported the Rating Pistol at Silver Wolf. The voice sounded strange and digitized.
- (Investigating as Aglaea)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Aglaea: "99.11 points!" it announces.
- Its gaze darts around without settling for a moment. The look in its eye is serious and alert as if it's examining a completely unknown realm.
- (Investigating as Tribbie)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Tribbie: "90.91 points!" it announces.
- The gun's gaze sweeps back and forth with measuring intent. It seems to have gleaned answers hidden somewhere deep. "0.011 points!" It declares.
- (Investigating as Dan Heng)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Dan Heng. "88 points?" It announces.
- (Investigating as Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Dan Heng: "88 points?"
- Feeling puzzled, it moved its eyeballs around and suddenly shut its eyes. It seemed to be sulking for being fooled.
- (Investigating as Clara)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Clara: "70 points!" it announces.
- It later added, "26 points!"
- (Investigating as Fugue)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Fugue: "13 points...?"
- Eyes moving at high speeds. Unbelievable. Yet, it's undeniable: "13 points!" it announced.
- (Investigating as The Herta)
-
- "4 points!" It announces. As its eyes suddenly snap open, you see a shiver of fear and uncertainty run through it: "100 points! 1,000 points...? 10,000 points...?"
- Though the eye is burning with exhaustion, it pretends to be brimming with energy: "The score is limitless. Rating invalid!" Finally, it gets an opportunity to close its eye.
- (Investigating as Cipher)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Cipher: "0.894 points!" it announces.
- The eye scans up, down, left, and right, keenly catching every detail, afraid to miss a thing.
- (Investigating as Anaxa)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Anaxa: "0.616 points!" it announces.
- The eye spins without order, before eventually squinting into the shape of a crescent moon. The gun shows great satisfaction at this result.
- (Investigating as Mydei)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Mydei: "0.59 point?" [sic] the gaze reveals a look of confusion and semi-suspicion.
- After a while, the gun's gaze suddenly widens and its confusion is dispelled. "0.59!" it declares, resolutely.
- (Investigating as Hyacine)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Hyacine: "0.35 points!" it announces.
- The eye sparkles with radiant joy, as if even the dull air around has turned vibrant.
- (Investigating as Cyrene)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Cyrene: "0.336 points... 0.337 points... 0.999 points... 1 point—"
- The eyeball flickers between sparkling and sorrowful, as if reading through pages of incredible stories. Until, at one moment, it snaps back to reality: "Rating invalid!" The eye stops responding, gazing firmly into the distance, as if it had glimpsed the next page of the story.
- (Investigating as Cerydra)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Cerydra: "0.13 points!" it announces.
- The eye keeps its gaze straight ahead, emitting a subtle and almost imperceptible pride. After a brief impasse, it lowers its gaze, admitting defeat in a duel of auras.
- (Investigating as Hysilens)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Hysilens: "0.129 points!" it announces.
- The eye turns dexterously. "0.129 points... 0.12999 points... 0.129999 points...". The eye suddenly stops moving, gazing blankly in a certain direction, as if fallen into a bottomless void.
- (Investigating as Castorice)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Castorice: "0.1 point! [sic] it announces.
- Suddenly, the eye stops moving. "0.09 points... 0.4012 points... 0.7007 points..." It drowns in a sea of data, constantly updating and reset, as if time was frozen, locked in perpetuity.
- (Investigating as Huohuo)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Huohuo: "0 points? 5 points?"
- It sized Huohuo up for a while before it looked away into the distance with a hopeless expression.
- (Investigating as Phainon)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at Phainon: "...!?"
- Its eyes fly wide open, trembling as it strains to sense and calculate. "Rating invalid!" Overwhelmed, the eyes snap shut, giving up on the impossible answer.
- (Otherwise)
-
- The Rating Pistol gazes at (current character): "(XX) points!" it announces.[Note 1]
- (Ending dialogue is randomized)
- Why is that this score? You don't understand...
- You don't quite understand the logic behind the scoring...
- You think this score is kinda weird...
- Is it basing things on age? Don't think so...
- Is it basing things on clothing color? Don't think so...
- Is it basing things on height? Don't think so...
- Is it basing things on intellect? Don't think so...
- Is it basing things on weight? Don't think so...
- Is this gun pulling your leg...
- What on earth is this gun basing its scores on...
- It would be a devious prank indeed if this gun was just dishing out random scores.
