Editing Scalemate

'''Scalemates''' are dragon plush dolls, most commonly associated with [[Terezi Pyrope]]. They first appear [https://www.homestuck.com/story/2030 here]. She often enjoys hanging them. It is possible that the word scalemate is a portmanteau of {{HS|4096|palemate}}—another way of saying [[Quadrants|Moirallegiance]]—and scale, referring to the scales of a dragon. It could also refer to the term stalemate (either used legally or as in chess) and/or the scales of justice.

==Senator Lemonsnout==

Senator Lemonsnout is a yellow scalemate used by Terezi in FLARPing sessions.

Lemonsnout is a corrupt scumbag who attempted to steal from the imperial beetle coffers. He tried to escape justice by assassinating the prosecution's {{HS|2039|key witness}}, an unnamed green scalemate. However, his trial met an abrupt end when he dropped a bag of illicit, embezzled beetles in front of the courtblock, at which point the prosecution requested a short recess so all law-abiding citizens could go outside and ''puke''. He was hung by Terezi.

His son was later found hiding in the trolls' [[ectobiology lab]], with a scent of deceit and lies as dense as his father's.
